ABSTRACT:
A toy monorail system of the support type for vehicles such as miniature railway cars and slot cars. The monorail track consists of an elongated flat strip or length of plastic having flat metal conductors located in flanged recesses molded into each side of the strip or length. The track is edge-mounted and, on flat surfaces, is self-supporting. The system can be set up in an unlimited number of configurations and elevations. In use, the track is arranged either in a self-supporting configuration on floors, table tops and the like, or utilizes special supports which engage a slot or recess molded into one edge of the track. Various styles of vehicles are used with the system, including trains, automobiles, boats, and rockets. The drive vehicle is mounted on the edge of the track opposite the slotted or recessed edge. The vehicle utilizes a pair of shaped contacts to make electrical connection with the metallic conductors and a pair of drive wheels mounted on vertical axes for gripping the plastic monorail on each side at a point on the track below the location of the metallic conductors.
