Abstract
An toy track coupling mechanism has guidance channels to aid alignment formed on confronting ends of the track sections. A horizontally operating latch prevents unwanted disconnection of the coupled track sections during assembly and play. A laterally adjacent horizontally operating release switch allows easy disassembly of the track sections by disengaging the latch in response to natural hand pressures and movements.
