ABSTRACT:
A toy including a central board with at least one recessed track in the upper surface thereof. The recessed track has an endless belt which in a preferred embodiment may be a thin strip of nylon with teeth extending upwardly therefrom. The strip may be moved in the preferred embodiment by a sprocket acting on holes along the length of the strip. A figure has downwardly-depending prongs which mate with the teeth on the nylon belt so that the figure may be propelled by the movement of the belt. The prongs may be such that they will assume a retracted position within the figure when the figure is placed on a planar surface. The belt may be low friction material (e.g. nylon) and the board may be surfaced with low friction material. The figure may have pivoted legs which brush the board surface causing the legs to swing and simulate a walking motion, and a vehicle may be provided through which the figure projects to contact the belt. Two tracks with separate drive means and controls may be provided on the board to permit racing games.
