Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to toy vehicle play sets and particularly to those utilizing a toy vehicle accelerator or booster in combination with a jump ramp and a landing ramp.
  • Toy vehicle play sets have proven to be an extremely popular and long-lasting toy product category. Through the years a number of variations of toy vehicle play sets have emerged to further define the product types.
  • One of the more pervasive and long-lasting types of toy vehicle play sets to have grown substantially in recent years is that generally referred to as toy vehicle ju psets.
  • These toy vehicle play sets acquire their name due to the use of a trackway which includes one or more upwardly directly launching ramps followed by a gap in the trackway together with a spaced apart landing ramp.
  • toy vehicles may be propelled down a confined trackway and directed to the jump ramp causing them to be launched upwardly and forwardly flying through the air across the gap and ultimately landing upon the landing ramp to continue traveling.
  • Such jumpsets are often further enhanced with various loops and curves in the toy vehicle trackway.
  • Toy vehicles themselves have been provided in a substantial variety and have included battery powered, self-propelled toy vehicles, vehicles which are freewheeling and are accelerated by long downwardly directed gravity powered ramps, or free-wheeling vehicles which are unpowered but which are accelerated down the trackway by devices known as boosters.
  • boosters are well known in the art and provide one or more spinning booster wheels alongside the trackway rotating under battery power. As the vehicle enters the booster, the rotating disk for wheel engages the vehicles and accelerates it. In most boosters, a pair of opposed wheels are operative to accelerate the vehicle and maintain its straight line travel path down the track.
  • U.S. Patent 3,641,704 issued to Sims et al sets forth an ACCELERATOR FOR A TOY VEHICLE having a pair of rotating wheels positioned on opposite sides of a toy vehicle trackway which are gear coupled to a common drive motor.
  • the drive motor is energized by a battery powered source and causes the vehicle engaging wheels to rotate in synchronism. As the vehicle enters the booster area, the wheels engage the vehicle from opposite sides and due to their rotation, accelerate the vehicle.
  • U.S. Patent 3,590,524 issued to Demy et al sets forth a TOY VEHICLE ACCELERATOR similar to the above- described accelerator with the added advantage of having a pair of oppositely directed accelerator devices positioned in a common housing such that trackways in both directions may be coupled to the booster and vehicles receive acceleration in both directions of travel.
  • a variety of toy vehicle jumpsets have been provided in the art such as that set forth in U.S. Patent 4,767,053 issued to Cook et al which sets forth a MULTI FUNCTION TOY STUNT SET which may be used to form a loop and ramps for use during play with toy vehicles.
  • Two tower members with engaging grooves are mounted on a base to form a loop and ramps of toy vehicle track. Toy vehicles may be rolled onto the loop and ramps through a supporting frame and flexible pieces.
  • U.S. Patent 4,558,867 issued to Hippely sets forth a TOY VEHICLE TRACKWAY SET having a trackway portion which defines a vertical trackway loop coupled to a horizontally oriented loop portion in which the horizontal loop defines an upwardly inclined trackway ramp.
  • a toy vehicle accelerated down the trackway undergoes a vertical loop followed by a horizontally disposed loop and terminating in flight from the upwardly angled trackway portion.
  • a catch basket is provided to receive the launched toy vehicle.
  • U.S. Patent 4,394,961 issued to Muller sets forth a TRACK FOR TOY VEHICLES WITH JUMPING-OFF AND JUMPING- ON RAMPS in which a pair of oppositely positioned open loop trackways are secured to a trackway path.
  • a toy vehicle enters one loop portion and is redirected upwardly and reversely across the space between the opposed loop ramp portion flying through the gap to be received upon the second loop portion and returned to the track.
  • U.S. Patent 3,860,238 issued to Kojima sets forth a CONTINUOUS RACE TRACK HAVING TURNAROUND PORTIONS in which a plurality of parallel trackway paths are directed toward a loop station having a multi channeled rotating drum supporting a plurality of paddle wheel tines. A second set of receiving trackway paths is supported above the first set of trackway paths. Vehicles are launched toward the rotating drum and are accelerated about the loop portion of the track and deposited upon the second set of trackway paths.
  • ELECTRIC SLOT CARS having a pair of trackways coupled to a pair of oppositely positioned curved jump ramp portions.
  • a gap is formed between the jump loop portions which is adjustable by movement of the jump loops relative to each other.
  • a toy vehicle such as a slot car travels down one trackway through the first jump loop and hurdles the gap between the first and second jump loops and is recovered upon the second jump loop and redirected along the track pathway.
  • a toy vehicle jumpset for use in combination with a toy vehicle, the toy vehicle jumpset comprising: a toy vehicle trackway, a booster coupled to the trackway for accelerating a toy vehicle, an upwardly curved launch ramp coupled to the booster for receiving an accelerated toy vehicle and directing it upwardly along a rise path, an inverted loop having an input portion in the rise path and a downwardly angled output portion for receiving an upwardly directed toy vehicle from the launch ramp and directing it downwardly along a downwardly angled descent path, a landing ramp for receiving a toy vehicle traveling downwardly along the descent path and directing it toward the toy vehicle trackway, and at least one shield sleeve interposed in the rise path and the descent path.
  • Figure 1 sets forth a perspective view of a toy vehicle jumpset constructed in accordance with the present invention
  • Figure 2 sets forth a partial perspective view of the jump ramp and landing ramp portions of the present invention toy vehicle jumpset
  • Figure 3 sets forth a partial section view of the crossing rise and descent travel paths of the present invention toy vehicle play set.
  • Figure 1 sets forth a perspective view of a toy vehicle jumpset constructed in accordance with the present invention and generally referenced by numeral 10.
  • Jumpset 10 includes a trackway 11 having a straight track 19, a curved portion 12, an entrance ramp 13 and a curve 18.
  • Entrance ramp 13 is coupled to a booster 14 which, in accordance with conventional fabrication techniques, includes a pair of power driven accelerating wheels 40 and 41 disposed on each side of the toy vehicle trackway passing through booster 14.
  • booster 14 may, for example, be fabricated in accordance with the structure set forth in U.S. Patent 3,641,704 or other equivalent structures with the essential function being the ability to accelerate a toy vehicle path which traverses entrance ramp 13 and moves into booster 14.
  • Straight track 19 as well as curved portions 12 and 18 together with entrance ramp 13 may be fabricated in accordance with conventional fabrication techniques to provide a molded plastic or extruded plastic combination of elements for forming trackway 11.
  • jumpset 10 further includes an upwardly curved launch ramp 15 coupled to booster 14 together with a tower 20 formed of vertical segments 26 and 27 and an inverted vertical loop portion 16.

  • booster 14 operates to rotate wheels 40 and 41 with sufficient speed that a toy vehicle traversing entrance ramp 13 as illustrated by toy vehicle 42 and traveling in the direction indicated by arrow 43 is drawn between rotating wheels
  • the upwardly curved structure of launch ramp 15 (better seen in Figure 2) converts the kinetic energy of the toy vehicle into an upwardly directed momentum such that the toy vehicle rises from launch ramp 15 as indicated by arrow 45 and travels upwardly due to its momentum through shield sleeves 30 and 31 as further indicated by arrow 46.
  • the toy vehicle rises through shield sleeves 30 and 31, it enters the inverted structure of vertical loop 16 at a position illustrated by toy vehicle 47.
  • the toy vehicle is guided and redirected by vertical loop 16 to a downward trajectory leaving loop 16 in the direction indicated by arrow 48 and passing through opening 65 of shield 31 as well as opening 62 of shield 30.
  • the toy vehicle emerges from shield 30 in the direction indicated by arrow 49 and lands upon landing ramp 17 after which its momentum carries the toy vehicle about curve 18, through straight track 19 and curve 12 to again travel entrance ramp 13 and ultimately return to booster 14 where the rapid acceleration is again imparted to the vehicle to repeat the travel cycle.
  • shield sleeves 30 and 31 within the upwardly directed vertical path of the toy vehicle between launch ramp 15 and vertical loop 16 provides an important safety characteristic in that the shield sleeves prevent the child user from leaning into the travel path of the rapidly moving toy vehicle and risking injury as a result.
  • the fabrication of shield sleeves 30 and 31 so as to provide openings 62 and 65 therein facilitates the positioning of shield sleeves 30 and 31 in close proximity to accomplish this safety purpose while allowing the toy vehicle to move along its downwardly directed trajectory from vertical loop 16 to landing ramp 17.
  • booster 14 operates at a high energy and a plurality of closely spaced toy vehicles may be continuously operated upon jumpset 10 as booster 14 rapidly accelerates each incoming toy vehicle and as the trackway returns each toy vehicle to the entrance ramp of booster 14 following its execution of the vertical rise and descent through the jumping station.
