An improved traction wheel structure for a motorized toy vehicle adapted to travel along tracks, rails, wires, strings or the like having vertical top edges or diameters, the wheels being provided with a V-shaped annular traction channel defined by laterally extending traction members extending from the sides of a primary annular channel. The toy vehicle is part of a set having at least two track members with vertical top edges, the track members being connected by a surface guide member.

The present invention is directed to providing self-propelled casting within a fishing apparatus that is the functional replacement of a conventional rod and reel combination. The system and method of the present invention advantageously include utilization of a self-propelled casting apparatus that employs a constant torque spring motor to provide a flat torque/force response both in the loading and releasing phases of a casting cycle. The casting apparatus employs a point-and-release method of safely and accurately casting a bobber or other article of fishing tackle over a specified distance.

A toy vehicle jump includes a launching ramp and a landing ramp for an independently propelled toy vehicle, and an adjusting device for changing the orientation of one of the ramps from an operative position, in which a vehicle can negotiate the jump, to an inoperative position, in which the landing ramp does not accept a vehicle launched from the launching ramp. In a preferred embodiment of the vehicle jump, a jump structure, each comprising a launching ramp and a landing ramp, is provided for each of two vehicles travelling in adjacent lanes, and the adjusting device for each jump structure includes an actuator for increasing the angle of inclination of the respective landing ramp one step each time it is passed by a vehicle in the adjacent lane, until it reaches the inoperative position.

Vehicle jump for a toy vehicle game

The toy vehicle game includes a track, a toy vehicle for operation thereon, and a launcher for launching the vehicle to propel it along the track. The track includes a start position at which the launcher is located and an end position, located above the start position, whereby a vehicle launched onto the track at the start position traverses the track to the end position, above the start position. The track includes a pivoted section at the end position having a center of gravity located such that it normally is in a horizontal position but will pivot when the toy vehicle moves onto it, thereby to deposit the vehicle down onto the start position of the track and return it to the launcher for relaunching onto the track.
