Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9949948A1] A toy vehicle jumpset includes a booster (14) coupled to a trackway (11) for receiving toy vehicles (47). The output of the booster is coupled to an upwardly curved, vertical launch ramp (15) which directs the toy vehicles in a vertical rise. An inverted vertical loop (16) is positioned to receive the upwardly directed toy vehicles and redirect the toy vehicles downwardly to a landing ramp (17) in a travel path which crosses the vertical rise path. A return trackway guides the toy vehicles from the landing ramp back to the booster entrance to repeat the cycle. A pair of safety shield sleeves (30, 31) are supported by a tower (20) between the launch ramp and the inverted vertical loop to prevent the user from leaning into the vehicle travel path and risking potential injury.
