Abstract:
1. An intersection apparatus adapted for engagement with a toy racetrack to provide an intersection for vehicles traversing said racetrack comprising: a first support, said first support adapted for cooperative engagement with a first pair of sections of a toy racetrack; a second support, said second support adapted for cooperative engagement with a second pair of sections of a toy racetrack; a gap defined by the area between said first support and said second support; a first pathway of travel for a toy vehicle, said first pathway communicating between said first pair of sections of toy racetrack across said gap; a second pathway of travel for a toy vehicle, said second pathway communicating between said second pair of sections of toy racetrack across said gap; said first support in a translatable engagement with said second support between a first position, and a second position; means for removable engagement of said first support to said second support to maintain said first support in said first position; said engagement of said first support and said second support in said first position thereby placing said first pathway and said second pathway at substantially equal elevations; and said engagement of said first support and said second support in said second position thereby placing said first pathway and said second pathway at substantially different elevations, whereby a two cars reaching said gap at substantially the same time will collide if said first and second support are in said first position and will not collide when said first and second support are in said second position.
