International Classification:

A63H 29/24

US Classification:

446429

Abstract:

A toy vehicle launching ramp and landing ramp is a toy vehicle track set that includes a launching ramp or track portion and a landing or receiving ramp or track portion. The toy vehicle track set also includes a booster or launcher which can propel or launch a toy vehicle onto the launching ramp, into the air, and onto the landing ramp. Further the set includes at least one elongate member with distance indicia, such that a user can measure the distance between the launcher and launching ramp, the launching ramp and receiving ramp, or some combination thereof. The toy vehicle track set enhances the play value of toy vehicle track sets by providing reliable and measurable jumps.

International Classification:

A63H 17/26

US Classification:

446429, 446465, 446431

Abstract:

A toy set is provided including a reconfigurable toy capable of transitioning between a first configuration and a second configuration. The toy set also includes a launch mechanism having an activation means and a toy receiver. A propulsion mechanism transfers movement of the activation means to the reconfigurable toy to propel the reconfigurable toy in a second configuration from the launch mechanism along a propulsion axis.

Inventors:

- El Segundo CA, US
Kevin Cao - Reseda CA, US

International Classification:

A63H 18/02

Abstract:

A loop track for toy vehicles comprising a baseplate and an extensible helical loop connected to the baseplate. The baseplate includes an inlet pathway and two or more outlet pathways positioned laterally along the baseplate. A first end of the helical loop is connected to the inlet pathway. A second end of the helical loop is removably connected to one of the two or more outlet pathways by laterally extending or contracting the helical loop. The loop track has a plurality of configurations and the configuration of the loop track is determined by the outlet pathway connected to the second end of the helical loop.

Inventors:

- El Segundo CA, US
Kevin Cao - Reseda CA, US

International Classification:

A63H 18/02

Abstract:

A toy vehicle booster is presented herein. The toy vehicle booster includes a booster assembly that is integrated into a lid of a track storage container so that the toy vehicle booster forms a portion of a storage container for a track set. In some instances, the booster assembly includes a first booster and a second booster. The first booster may accelerate toy vehicles along a first pathway and the second booster may accelerate toy vehicles along a second pathway. In at least some of these embodiments, at least the second booster may be reversible so that the second booster can accelerate toy vehicles along the second pathway in a first direction or a second direction opposite the first direction.

International Classification:

A63H 18/02

Abstract:

A stackable track assembly and method for stacking a booster and/or track frame is disclosed. The stackable track assembly includes a base, a track portion disposed in the base, and a frame extending out of the base and laterally across the top of the base. The stackable track assembly further includes a tab and slot for laterally coupling two track assemblies. The stackable track assembly further includes a receiving member and engagement member for vertically and/or laterally coupling two track assemblies. In some implementations, the track assembly may include a booster for accelerating a toy vehicle.
