ABSTRACT:
A toy has an upright hollow rectangular-section tower formed at one side at its upper end with an exit opening and on the other side at its lower end with an entrance opening. An inclined ramp has an upper end at the exit opening and a lower end at the entrance opening and there is provided at this entrance opening a pivotal flap which prevents air exiting from the tower but allows a small toy motor car which is displaceable along the ramp to move through the door into the tower. An elevator is vertically displaceable in the tower and has a bottom wall adapted to support the car and inclined from the entrance-opening side of the tower toward the exit-opening side of the tower. A battery-powered blower is provided in the base of the housing for the tower and has an output opening into the very bottom of the tower so that when this blower is energized by means of a remote-controlled switch it creates a gas column in the tower which lifts the elevator from a position aligned with the entrance opening to a position aligned with the exit-opening. Thus the car can be displaced by this elevator up to the top of the ramp which it will then descend by its own weight. An abutment is provided at the lower end of the ramp in front of the entrance opening of the tower for preventing the toy motor car from automatically rolling back into the tower after completing a circuit down the ramp.
