Abstract
A hand-held, multi-lane racing game fidget toy comprising single- and multi-lane curve track segments and single- and multi-lane straight track segments assembled together to form closed-circuit racetrack assemblies. The assemblies can be interconnected via multi-lane transition lane-exchange track segments and lanes from different race track circuits can cross via four-way intersection track segments and single-lane intersection track segments. The closed-circuit assemblies can be configured in a number of patterns and can include covers. The closed-circuit assemblies may be stacked with the use of post and sleeve combinations.
Claims20
A closed-circuit, multi-lane race track hand-held fidget toy comprising:
- a plurality of multi-lane curve track segments, wherein each of the plurality of multi-lane curve track segments has two ends, a first curve end and a second curve end, and wherein each of the plurality of multi-lane curve track segments has at least two lanes, wherein an inner lane is shorter than a second outer lane;
- at least one multi-lane straight track segment, wherein the at least one multi-lane straight track segment has at least two lanes, wherein the number of lanes of the at least one multi-lane straight track segment matches the number of lanes of each of the plurality of multi-lane curve track segments, wherein the at least one multi-lane straight track segment connects two of the plurality of multi-lane curve track segments and the remainder of the plurality of multi-lane curve track segments are connected together to form a closed-circuit race track.
A closed-circuit, multi-lane race fidget toy comprising:
- a first multi-lane race track subassembly having a first subassembly plurality of multi-lane curve track segments and a first subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments, wherein each of the first subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments has the same number of lanes as the first subassembly plurality of multi-lane curve track segments, wherein each of the plurality of multi-lane track segments connects two of the plurality of multi-lane curve track segments to form a first-subassembly multi-lane, closed-circuit race track;
- a second multi-lane race track subassembly superposed about or surrounding and connected to the first multi-lane race track subassembly, wherein the second multi-lane race track subassembly has a second subassembly plurality of multi-lane curve track segments and a second assembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments, wherein each of the second subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments has the same number of lanes as the second subassembly plurality of multi-lane curve track segments, wherein each of the plurality of multi-lane track segments connects two of the second subassembly plurality of multi-lane curve track segments to form a second subassembly multi-lane, closed-circuit race track;
- and,
- a multi-lane master transition lane-exchange track segment having a least one inner lane and at least one outer lane, a first crossing lane and a second crossing lane, wherein the first crossing lane and the second crossing lane cross and are located between the at least one inner lane and the at least one outer lane, wherein the multi-lane master transition lane-exchange track segment has as many lanes as the number of lanes of each of the plurality of first subassembly multi-lane curve tracks segments combined with the number of lanes of each of the plurality of second subassembly multi-lane curve track segments, wherein the master transition lane-exchange track segment is disposed between two of the first subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments and disposed between two of the second subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments, wherein the multi-lane master lane-exchange track segment connects an outer lane of the two of the first subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments to an inner lane of the two of the second subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments to form a dual-subassembly, closed-circuit race track.
A closed-circuit, multi-lane race fidget toy comprising:
- a first multi-lane race track subassembly having a first subassembly plurality of multi-lane curve track segments and a first subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments, wherein each of the first subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments has the same number of lanes as the first subassembly plurality of multi-lane curve track segments, wherein each of the plurality of multi-lane track segments connects two of the plurality of multi-lane curve track segments to form a first-subassembly multi-lane, closed-circuit race track;
- a second multi-lane race track subassembly positioned in tandem with the first multi-lane track subassembly and having a second subassembly plurality of multi-lane curve track segments and a second assembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments, wherein each of the second subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments has the same number of lanes as the second subassembly plurality of multi-lane curve track segments, wherein each of the plurality of multi-lane track segments connects two of the second subassembly plurality of multi-lane curve track segments to form a second subassembly multi-lane, closed-circuit race track;
- and,
- a multi-lane master transition lane-exchange track segment having a least one inner lane and at least one outer lane, a first crossing lane and a second crossing lane, wherein the first crossing lane and the second crossing lane cross and are located between the at least one inner lane and the at least one outer lane, wherein the multi-lane master transition lane-exchange track segment has as many lanes as the number of lanes of each of the plurality of first subassembly multi-lane curve tracks segments combined with the number of lanes of each of the plurality of second subassembly multi-lane curve track segments, wherein the master transition lane-exchange track segment is disposed between two of the first subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments and disposed between two of the second subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments, wherein the multi-lane master lane-exchange track segment connects an outer lane of the two of the first subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments to an inner lane of the two of the second subassembly plurality of multi-lane straight track segments to form a tandem dual-subassembly, closed-circuit race track.
