Patent ID: 7090556

Claim:
A toy vehicle for a motor-racing circuit with guidance by tracks, said circuit having a guiding groove and conductor rails adjacent to said groove, the vehicle including a keel for guidance by the tracks, the keel being pivotably mounted on the vehicle for engagement with the guiding groove; a magnetic device for magnetic attraction interacting with the conductor rails for providing an additional retaining force for holding the vehicle on the track; a swinging member having one end pivotably mounted on the vehicle, the magnetic device being positioned on the swinging member at a distance from the pivotable mounting, the pivotably mounting being arranged so that in response to drift by the vehicle in the form of pivoting of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle relative to the motor-racing circuit, about the keel of the toy vehicle as a center of rotation, the swinging member pivots relative to the toy vehicle in the opposite direction of the drifting such that the magnetic device remains adjacent to the conductor rails on the motor-racing circuit, and there is a magnetic force of attraction between the magnetic device and the conductor rails.
