Toy vehicle for guided motor racing tracks has swinging arm that pivots relative to vehicle so magnetic device remains adjacent to current rail and magnetic attraction exists even during drifting

摘要

The vehicle has a keel pivotably mounted on it for engagement in a guide groove in the track and a magnetic device that interacts with the current rail. A swinging arm pivotably attached to the vehicle has a magnetic device at a distance from the pivoting attachment. When the vehicle is drifting the swinging arm pivots so the magnetic device remains adjacent to the current rail and a magnetic attraction exists even during drifting. The vehicle (100) has a keel (18) pivotably mounted on it for engagement in a guide groove (20) in the track and a magnetic device (32) that interacts with the current rails (24) by magnetic attraction so that an additional adhesive force holds the vehicle in the lane on the track (22). A swinging arm (26) has one end pivotably attached to the vehicle and the magnetic device at a distance from the pivoting attachment so that when the vehicle is drifting with its longitudinal axis pivoting about the keel the swinging arm pivots in the opposite direction relative to the vehicle so the magnetic device remains adjacent to the current rail and a magnetic attraction exists even during drifting
