A track set for toy vehicles is provided, the track set having: a first track circuit having a loop section and a figure-8 track circuit; a second track circuit having a loop section and figure-8 track circuit, wherein the figure-8 track circuits are overlaid on each other to provide multiple intersections between each figure-8 track circuit, wherein the toy vehicles travelling on the figure-8 track circuits can crash into each other as they travel along the figure-8 track circuits; and a mechanism for propelling the vehicles along the first track circuit and the second track circuit.

A loop segment for a toy vehicle track set is disclosed. The loop segment comprises a first end, a second end, and a vertically-oriented loop structure between the first end and second end. The first end and second end are positioned such that a directional path of entry into the first end forms a straight line that is aligned with a directional path of exit out of the second end. The loop structure is positioned at an angular offset from the straight line formed by the first end and second end.

An article for mounting to a vertical surface comprising a substrate having a first layer formed from a flexible film or sheet and a second layer formed with a conventional low-tack non-reactive reusable adhesive effective for attaching the substrate to drywall or plaster or wood surfaces. At least one rigid component is attached to the substrate. The second layer covers at least a portion of the first layer for attaching to a vertical surface and includes a release area, wherein the release area is positioned such that it is vertically above the at least one rigid component. The rigid component operates to produce a cantilever moment and wherein the release area operates to counteract the cantilever moment.

A toy vehicle racing system is disclosed. The toy vehicle racing system comprises a track set including a movable mechanism and a toy vehicle configured to travel along the track set and interact with the movable mechanism. The toy vehicle racing system also includes a remote control in wireless communication with the track set. The remote control is configured to transmit instructions to the track set to move the movable mechanism and also to receive information from the track set regarding the track set and/or toy vehicle.

A triggered marble run module is intended for use with a plurality of physically interconnectable marble run modules. Each module retains a marble and guides the travel of the marble through the module on at least a first surface. The triggered marble run module includes a marble travel path, a marble actuated switch and an output circuit. The marble actuated switch has first and second terminals and is operably coupled to close a circuit between the first terminal and second terminal through the first terminal and the second terminal responsive to actuation by a marble traveling in proximity of the marble actuated switch. The output circuit generates at least one of a group consisting of an audio output, a visual output, and an RF signal output, responsive to formation of the closed circuit between the first terminal and the second terminal through the first and second spring elements.

The present invention relates to a transforming toy and, particularly, to a multi-step transforming toy, wherein the toy transforms in a first step in a process of preparing for a launch and transforms in a second step in a process of lunching a traveling object, and the traveling object, which has passed through the transforming toy, also transforms. Therefore, the toy can arouse a child's interest and launch a predetermined shaped object such as a missile, a fist, or a baby dinosaur.

A jewelry display includes a ferromagnetic planar substrate having a front surface opposite a back surface. A bracket is configured to be attached to a wall, the bracket comprising at least one bracket magnet which is a permanent magnet. The back surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate is configured to removably attach to the bracket due to the magnetic force of the at least one bracket magnet. A plurality of jewelry fixtures are configured to be removably attached to the front surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate. Each jewelry fixture includes at least one permanent fixture magnet and a jewelry holding structure. The at least one permanent fixture magnet of each jewelry fixture is magnetically attracted to the ferromagnetic planar substrate. The at least one bracket magnet may be at least 2, 5, 10 times or more as powerful as the at least one permanent fixture magnet.
