Abstract
A toy playset is presented herein. The toy playset includes a base section, a track section configured to receive a toy vehicle, and a biasing member coupled to the base section and to the track section. The biasing member is configured to bias the base section and the track section away from one another, and the biasing member is configured to flex to enable the base section and the track section to move relative to one another.
Claims16
A toy playset, comprising:
- a base section;
- a track section configured to receive a toy vehicle;
- a biasing member coupled to the base section and to the track section, wherein the biasing member is configured to bias the base section and the track section away from one another, and the biasing member is configured to flex to enable the base section and the track section to move relative to one another;
- a rod configured to extend through the biasing member, wherein the rod is configured to couple the base section and the track section to one another, and the rod comprises a first lip and a second lip;
- and
- a mount coupled to the rod and to the biasing member, wherein the track section is in engagement with the mount, and the biasing member is configured to bias the mount and the base section away from one another to bias the base section and the track section away from one another,
- wherein the mount defines a first aperture and comprises first projections that extend into and around the first aperture, the base section defines a second aperture and comprises second projections that extend into and around the second aperture, the rod is configured to extend into the first aperture and the second aperture, the mount is configured to move relative to the rod via the first aperture, the base section is configured to move relative to the rod via the second aperture, and the biasing member is configured to bias the mount and the base section away from one another to abut the first lip of the rod with the first projections of the mount and to abut the second lip of the rod with the second projections of the base section.
