Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sectional toy track structure as defined in the preamble of claim 1, particularly a sectional track composed of a plurality of end-to-end connected modular sections, one extending the other to form a closed-loop trackway.
  • Tracks of various types are currently available, including electrified tracks, i.e. tracks having electric means for supplying power to toy cars and the like, and simpler tracks which simply define a trackway in which children would race toy cars, marbles and the like.
  • the interconnectable sections should involve much lower fabrication costs than the corresponding assemblable sections equipped with power supply means of electrified tracks.
  • sectional tracks are designed for children use, their modular sections should be free of any sharp edges or small parts that might be inadvertently ingested, and should also have moderate weight or hardness, to prevent injuries whenever a modular section should fall on the foot or hand of a child during track assembly.
  • modular toy track sections are generally made of plastic of wood, and the fabrication costs of such sections are hardly reduced to a very low value.
  • This invention is based on the problem of providing a sectional track structure that has such structural and functional characteristics as to fulfill the above need, while obviating the drawbacks as mentioned hereinbefore.
  • numeral 1 generally designates a sectional track structure according to the invention, which is generally composed of a plurality of modular sections 2 extending one after the other to form a predetermined generally closed-loop trackway.
  • Figure 1 shows a ring-shaped track of the invention
  • Figure 3 shows three curvilinear modular sections 2b, joined together end-to-end to form a half-circle.
  • Figure 3 shows a straight modular section 2
  • Figure 4 shows a modular section 2b extending over a 60° arc of a circle.
  • Each modular section 2 extends a longitudinal center line X-X (which is straight for the section 2a or curvilinear along an arc of a circle for the section 2b) between one head end to a tail end.
  • the sections 2 are mutually extended end-to-end to form a predetermined trackway, i.e. are arranged one after the other.
  • each section comprises mating engagement means 3 located at their head and tail ends, which can provide mating shape engagement of the head and tail ends of a pair of sections, disposed in mutually extending relation.
  • engagement means 3 are embodied as trapezoidal tongues and mating trapezoidal recesses.
  • the modular sections 2 are identical to each other.
  • a three-ply board for sections 2 provides, on the one hand, a very low-cost product, and on the other hand, a light-weight product, adapted for children use, allowing easy disposal due to its recyclability as well as freely customizable in its exterior graphical aspect.
  • such three-ply corrugated board has a thickness ranging from 3 to 8 mm, preferably from 4.4 to 5.1 mm.
  • the modular section 2 is a single piece, which is formed through successive plies from a die-cut sheet having easy-folding lines.
  • the term "easy-folding line" associated with a die-cut sheet or another cardboard element, is generally used herein to not only designate folding seams, but also cuts, half-cuts or fold-cuts required to obtain a 90°, 180° or the like ply orientations of one part relative to another.
  • the die-cut sheets that are used to form the sections 2 have, in their deployed form:
  • each lateral portion 4 of the sections 2 is hinge-connected to the corresponding longitudinal edge portion 5a of the central portion 5 of the section 2 via hinge-connection portions 6 defined by easy-folding lines 7. Therefore, at the hinge-connection portions 6, each lateral portion 4 is seamlessly and integrally connected with the corresponding longitudinal edge 5a of the central portion 5 of the section 2.
  • each lateral portion 4 can pivot about the corresponding longitudinal edge 5a of the central portion 5 from a deployed operating position, in which said lateral portion is coplanar with said central portion 5 (see Figures 7 and 8 ) to a folded operating position (see Figures 3 and 4 ) in which the lateral portion is rotated through substantially 180° relative to the central portion 5 to overlie it to substantial contact with the corresponding longitudinal edge 5a of the central portion 5.
  • each lateral portion 4 is in overlying, deployed, preferably contacting relation, with the corresponding longitudinal edge 5a of the central portion 5 of each section 2.
  • the parting line between the lateral portions 4 and their respective longitudinal edges 5a of the central portion 5 is defined by an alternation of said hinge-connection portions 6 and longitudinal through cuts which ensure physical discontinuity between the lateral portion 4 and the corresponding longitudinal edge 5a of the central portion 5 at said through cuts.
  • each lateral portion 4 is only connected to the corresponding longitudinal edge 5a of the central portion 5 via the hinge-connection portions 6.
  • hinge-connection portions 6 are preferably identical to the hinge-connection portions 6:
  • the sections 2 are formed from a single constant-thickness die-cut cardboard sheet, such width of the hinge-connection portions 6 is at the most equal to, preferably somewhat smaller than twice the thickness of the die-cut cardboard sheet.
  • hinge-connection portions 6 counteract the rotation required to cause the lateral portions 4 to fold onto the corresponding longitudinal edges 5a of the central portion 5 of the section.
  • the transverse width of such hinge-connection portions is smaller than or at the most equal to twice the thickness of the die-cut sheet.
  • the hinge-connection portions 6, which are made of cardboard slightly yield beyond a dead center of rotation, whereupon the lateral portions 4 cannot naturally pivot back to the initial deployed configuration relative to the central portion 5, unless such rotation is forced in the direction opposite to the one imparted before.
  • the sections 2 include engagement means adapted to hold the lateral portions 4 in overlapped and engaged relation to the corresponding longitudinal edge portions 5a of the central portion 5.
  • these engagement means allow the lateral portions 4 to be held in overlapped and substantially contacting relation to the corresponding longitudinal edges 5a of the central portion 5 of the sections 2. This is advantageous both in the case as shown in the figures, in which the lateral portions 4 are integrally connected to the central portion 5 by the hinge-connection portions 6 and in the case in which the portions that define the section walls are totally separate parts, independent of the central portion that defines the bottom of the section.
  • these engagement means include engagement tongues 8 which are designed to be inserted in corresponding mating engagement grooves 9 when the lateral portions 4 are in overlapped relation to the longitudinal edges 5a of the central portion 5 to define the lateral walls of the section 2 (see Figures 4 and 5 ).
  • the engagement tongues 8 and the engagement grooves 9 are directly supported by the lateral portions 4 and the longitudinal edge portions 5a of the central portion 5.
  • the engagement tongues 8 and the engagement grooves 9 are directly integrally formed from the die-cut sheet that is used to form the section 2 by folding, namely from the portions of such die-cut sheet that define the lateral portions 4 and the longitudinal edges of the central portion 5 of each section.
  • the engagement tongues 8 are snapped into the engagement grooves.
  • the engagement grooves 9 are through openings formed by cutting out the die-cut sheet, and the engagement tongues are formed by cuts in the die-cut sheet and have a shank 8a connected to the rest of the die-cut sheet via an easy-folding line, and terminating at its free end in a mushroom head 8b.
  • the engagement grooves 9 are only formed at the lateral portions 4, whereas the engagement tongues are only formed at the lateral edges 5a of the central portion 5 and are designed to be pivoted from the plane of the central portion 5 to project perpendicular thereto.
  • the position of the engagement grooves 9 relative to the lateral portions 4 should allow alignment of the engagement grooves 9 with the vertical of the engagement tongues 8 which project perpendicular to the plane of the central portion 5 when the central portions 4 are pivoted to overlie the longitudinal edges 5a of the central portion 5.
  • sectional track structure of the present invention fulfills the above mentioned needs and also obviates prior art drawbacks as set out in the introduction of this disclosure. Namely, the use of cardboard affords:
