Abstract
Disclosed is a toy track and vehicle system. Suitably, the trackway is defined by an assembly of a basic block such that users can build a complex three-dimensional (3D) track layout or trackway from the basic block. Preferably, the blocks are configured such that a vehicle can move on any lateral sides of the track layout or trackway.
Claims20
A toy vehicle and track system comprising;
- a track defined by at least three railways, each railway defined by two adjacent rails, wherein each rail of the two adjacent rails is defined at the tip or edge of a block;
- and,
- a toy vehicle defined by a two-wheeled guide-car and a two-wheeled caboose coupled together via a joint, said caboose featuring a motor to drive an axle provided to at least one wheel of caboose;
- and,
- wherein a wheel of the toy vehicle that is provided with the axle is engaged at a midsection of the wheel with one of the rails of the railway such that the guide-car is rolled around the joint by any non-zero degree relative to the caboose.
2 more elements
A method of constructing a track for a toy vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- a. positioning a first block with at least three railways, where each railway is defined by two adjacent rails;
- b. locating adjacent to the first block a second block with at least three other railways, wherein each of the three other railways is defined by two other adjacent rails;
- c. coupling an axle of the first block to an axle of the second block via a center post such that the railways of the first block merge with the other railways of the second block;
- and,
- d. positioning a wheel of a caboose of the toy vehicle against one of the railways of the first block and positioning a wheel of a guide-car of the toy vehicle against one of the other railways of the second block.
2 more elements
A toy vehicle and track system comprising;
- a track defined by at least three railways, each railway defined by two adjacent rails, wherein each rail of the two adjacent rails is defined at the tip of an arm of a block with an X-shaped section;
- and,
- a toy vehicle featuring an axle provided to at least one wheel and wherein the at least one wheel is engaged at a midsection with one of the rails of the railway.
