Go-Stop Toys

Abstract

This product is designed to run a vehicle on a rail track formed by connecting multiple rail toys together. The vehicle can travel or temporarily stop on the parallel rail track configuration, and while stopped, it rotates a display panel. A switch lever located between the tracks stops the vehicle when it is in the neutral position, and by swinging the switch lever inverted toward one of the tracks, the vehicle that was stopped on the inverted track can resume its movement. The vehicle is self-propelled, and the driving force of its wheels also operates the rail toys and the moving parts incorporated into this product. When the vehicle reaches a track within this product, its operation activates the display panel operating mechanism within this product, causing the display panel to rotate. When the vehicle resumes its movement by swinging the switch lever inverted, the rotation of the display panel stops. Furthermore, since the vehicle's movement or temporary stopping corresponds to passengers getting on and off at a station, it is primarily used in combination with station building toys.
