TOY VEHICULAR DRIVE APPARATUS

摘要

A toy vehicular drive apparatus includes a first roadway (10) having an electrically conductive underside (20) and a second roadway (8) having an electrically conductive top (18) and being under the first roadway. A subsurface powered vehicle (14) is movable on the second roadway and has electrically conductive elements (25) in contact with the electrically conductive underside (20) of the first roadway (10) and in contact with the electrically conductive top (18) of the second roadway (8). A power source (16) connected to the first roadway and the second roadway electrically energizes the first roadway and the second roadway to provide power to the powered subsurface vehicle. The toy vehicular drive apparatus also includes a surface vehicle mounted on the top of the first roadway (10). A magnet on the surface vehicle (40) and a magnet (36) on the powered subsurface vehicle provide interconnection of the surface vehicle and the powered subsurface vehicle to cause movement of the surface vehicle in response to movement of the powered subsurface vehicle.
