Abstract:
A kit for assembling a closed-loop toy simulation of a roadway having an inner edge and an outer edge, comprising:at least four curved road segments and at least two straight road segments;each said road segment comprising a flexible material and having a first side and a second side, two opposing parallel edges, a front connecting portion and a back connecting portion, and fastening means for connecting the front connecting portion of one road segment to the back connecting portion of a different road segment in an gag end-to-end configuration;said first side having at least one marking that simulates roadway lane markings, each said marking being longitudinally disposed so it is substantially parallel to said two parallel edges:said second side of the segment having a nonskid surface for restricting movement of the road segment relative to a supporting surface; andsaid fastening means comprising(a) a plurality of hooks secured to at least one side along at least a section of a connecting portion of the road segment, and(b) a plurality of loops secured to at least one side along at least a section of a connecting portion of another said road segment;so that when two of said road segments are positioned adjacent each other, the markings on said adjacent road segments substantially align and the front connecting portion of one of said road segments substantially aligns with the back connecting portion of the other said road segment and the plurality of hooks on one said road segment is substantially in relational cooperation with the plurality of loops on the adjacent road segment and engages the plurality of loops so as to successively connect the road segments together, creating a closed-loop roadway configuration.
