ABSTRACT:
A spin tower station for use with a toy vehicle and a trackway network connecting a plurality of stations, each with its own unique amusement function. The spin tower station, which receives a vehicle at a station entry port and simultaneously moves it translationally and rotationally to a station exit port positioned below, includes a base, two telescoping cylindrical elements extending upward from the base, a vehicle platform mounted on the upper element and normally positioned at the entry port by a spring mounted within the lower element, and a spiral flange on the upper element which engages a stationary guide notch to rotate the upper element as it descends against the force of the spring under the weight of a vehicle on the platform. After the vehicle departs the exit port, the spring forces the platform upward to await the return trip of the vehicle.
