Abstract
A modular track for toy cars allows different race tracks to be made so that small toy cars can run along them. The track includes six types of pieces which combined according to the user's imagination provide multiple possibilities of different race tracks. Three of these types of pieces are stretches of the race track, straight, curved or sloped, which include some guardrails interrupted at the end to facilitate crossings and intersections in the race track. Two other types are connection blocks between the different stretches of the race track, and the other type is an end piece for the beginning and end of the race tracks. The connections between the stretches of the race track and the connection blocks are achieved by respective cylindrical holes and projections.

A modular track for my cars comprising:
- a plurality of stretches of race track;
- and
- a plurality of connection blocks,
- wherein each of said plurality of stretches having a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, a top surface and a bottom surface;
- each of said plurality of stretches having two through holes being disposed at each of said first end and said second end, said through holes extending from said top surface to said bottom surface and each of said through holes having a first end and a second end;
- each said connection blocks having a top surface and a bottom surface, said top surface of said connection block defining at least four cylindrical projections, at least one of said plurality of stretches is straight and horizontal, said first side and said second side of said stretches are provided with partitions that are interrupted at said first end and said second end of said stretches;
- wherein the height of said cylindrical projections is substantially the same as the distance from said first end to said second end of said through hole, and wherein the shape and dimension of the cross section of said projections arc complementary in shape and size to said through holes;
- wherein said plurality of stretches arc connected end-to-end by means of said connection blocks.
