Relay for toy track set

A relay for a toy track set, the relay comprising:

• a first actuator;
• a second actuator;
• a conduit fluidly coupling the first actuator to the second actuator;
• and
• a release mechanism moveably secured to the first actuator for movement between a first position and a second position wherein movement of the release mechanism from the first position towards the second position causes the first actuator to force a fluid through the conduit, wherein the fluid forced through the conduit b the first actuator causes the second actuator to actuate a second release mechanism, wherein the first actuator further comprises a piston slidably received within a cylinder, the piston being capable of movement between a first position and a second position wherein movement of the piston from the first position to the second position causes fluid to be forced from the cylinder into the conduit and then into the second release mechanism.

A relay for a toy track set, the relay comprising:

• a first actuator;
• a second actuator;
• a conduit fluidly coupling the first actuator to the second actuator;
• and
• a release mechanism moveably secured to the first actuator for movement between a first position and a second position wherein movement of the release mechanism from the first position towards the second position causes the first actuator to force a fluid through the conduit, wherein the fluid forced through the conduit by the first actuator causes the second actuator to actuate a second release mechanism, wherein the second actuator has an actuatable member the moves from a first position to a second position when the fluid is received from the conduit and the second actuator is configured to be releasably secured to a track segment.

• a conduit fluidly coupling the first actuator to the second actuator;
• and
• a release mechanism moveably secured to the first actuator for movement between a first position and a second position wherein movement of the release mechanism from the first position towards the second position causes the first actuator to force a fluid through the conduit, wherein the fluid forced through the conduit by the first actuator causes the second actuator to actuate a second release mechanism, wherein the second actuator has a moveable member the moves from a first position to a second position when the fluid received from the conduit causes a bellows to be inflated by the fluid and wherein the moveable member has an angled surface for engaging a conically shaped trigger pivotally secured to the second actuator, wherein the fluid received from the first actuator will cause the movable member to move from an un-actuated position to an actuated position wherein a contact surface of the movable member engages a conically shaped surface of the conically shaped trigger such that conically shaped trigger moves upwardly and releases another spring biased actuator.

An interchangeable toy track set, comprising:

• a plurality of interchangeable relay segments each of which may be coupled to each other to create a plurality of variations for the toy track set, each of plurality of interchangeable relay segments comprising:
• a first actuator;
• a second actuator;
• a conduit fluidly coupling the first actuator to the second actuator;
• and
• a release mechanism moveably secured to the first actuator for movement between a first position and a second position wherein movement of the release mechanism from the first position towards the second position causes the first actuator to force a fluid through the conduit, wherein the fluid forced through the conduit by the first actuator causes the second actuator to actuate a second release mechanism, wherein the first actuator is coupled to a first vehicle track segment and the second actuator is coupled to a second vehicle track segment.
