Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0180711A1] The flexible track for toys displaceable on rails comprises separate sections (2) which may be assembled and mutually pivoted. Each section (2) comprises on either side of its centre, preferably symmetrically with respect to a vertical axis (8), projections (11) and complementary pairs of hooks (14) intended to receive, by a pawl-and-ratchet mechanism, the projections (11). Towards the edges of the sections there are provided tongues (23) and complementary recesses (24). At the ends there are arranged posts (36) carrying on one side the tongues (39) and on the other side the complementary recesses (40). A nose (17) facing in the running direction and insertable in a space (19) of the recess (16) provided between the hooks (14), and a depressed surface (29) situated close to the tongue (23) and housed in a space situated close to the recess (24) are used to enhance the stability of the section (2) and of the composite flexible section (1). A large variety of combinations together with more playing pleasure are obtained.
