ABSTRACT:
An amusement device consisting of a toy wheeled vehicle and a trackway on which the vehicle moves. In the preferred embodiment, the wheeled vehicle has at least rotatably driven rear wheels, rotatably driven gears and at least one rod extending from the vehicle. The trackway includes six different track sections which, when cooperating with the vehicle, impart different types of movements to the vehicle as the vehicle moves along the trackway. In one track section, for example, the front end of the vehicle is elevated into an upwardly extending position. The vehicle is movably driven on the track section by the rear wheels in the upwardly extended front end position until it reaches a portion of the track section which returns the front end of the vehicle to a normal position. In another track section, there is provided a double-inclined tower which imparts a rocking movement to the vehicle as the vehicle moves upwardly on one side of the tower. As the vehicle moves downwardly on the opposite side of the tower, the vehicle rotates in a somersault fashion about the gears from gravity and vehicular mass momentum until the vehicle reaches the trackway at the tower bottom. In yet another track section, the vehicle is imparted with an S-shaped movement along that section. In still a further track section, the vehicle is tilted sideways and moved along the section in that tilted position until it is returned to its normal position on the trackway. In still another track section, there is a tower which the vehicle climbs substantially vertically upward to an elevated level and then somersaults from a spring-action ramp at that elevated level onto the trackway below to a normal position.
