ABSTRACT:
A toy racing car is provided which may be steered from one slot to another on a multi-slotted wide track. The car is electrically energized through electrically conductive strips extending along both sides of the slots either internally or externally of the slots, and the car has a solenoid operated pin which extends down into the slot to hold the car on course. The car may be turned in one direction or another by selecting the polarity of the voltage applied to the electric motor in the car, and the pin may be released from the slot by a high voltage pulse, or, alternately by the interruption of a high voltage, thereby permitting the car to be steered either to the left or to the right to the next adjacent slot on the track. The steering is accomplished in the illustrated embodiment by a gear train which causes one of the axles of the car to turn a limited amount in one direction or the other depending upon the polarity of the voltage applied to the motor, such a steering mechanism being disclosed and claimed in copending application Ser. No. 948,688.
