Toy vehicle playset

Abstract

A toy playset is presented herein. The toy playset includes a base section, a track section configured to receive a toy vehicle, and a biasing member coupled to the base section and to the track section. The biasing member is configured to bias the base section and the track section away from one another, and the biasing member is configured to flex to enable the base section and the track section to move relative to one another.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A toy playset, comprising:
 a toy vehicle;   a track comprising a channel configured to receive the toy vehicle; and   a launcher arm configured to move between a loaded configuration and a rest configuration, wherein the launcher arm comprises an extension configured to extend into the channel in the rest configuration such that the extension extends between the track and a chassis of the toy vehicle positioned in the channel in the rest configuration of the launcher arm.   
     
     
         2 . The toy playset of  claim 1 , wherein the channel comprises a recess, and the extension is configured to extend into the recess in the rest configuration of the launcher arm. 
     
     
         3 . The toy playset of  claim 2 , wherein the toy vehicle is configured to be positioned in the channel and outside of the recess. 
     
     
         4 . The toy playset of  claim 3 , wherein the toy vehicle is configured to be positioned in the channel over the recess such that the extension, in the rest configuration of the launcher arm, is configured to engage the toy vehicle positioned in the channel. 
     
     
         5 . The toy playset of  claim 4 , wherein the extension is positioned external to the recess in the loaded configuration of the launcher arm, and the toy vehicle is configured to abut a wall of the track and be positioned over the recess in the loaded configuration of the launcher arm. 
     
     
         6 . The toy playset of  claim 1 , wherein the extension of the launcher arm comprises:
 a first segment configured to extend along a length of the track in the rest configuration of the launcher arm; and   a second segment configured to extend from the first segment towards the track in the rest configuration of the launcher arm.   
     
     
         7 . The toy playset of  claim 1 , wherein the launcher arm comprises a shaft coupled to the track, and the shaft is configured to rotate relative to the track to move the launcher arm between the loaded configuration and the rest configuration. 
     
     
         8 . The toy playset of  claim 1 , wherein the toy vehicle comprises wheels configured to engage the channel. 
     
     
         9 . The toy playset of  claim 8 , wherein the wheels of the toy vehicle straddle the extension in the rest configuration of the launcher arm. 
     
     
         10 . The toy playset of  claim 1 , wherein the launcher arm comprises a handle configured to rotate towards the track to transition the launcher arm towards the loaded configuration, and the handle is configured to rotate away from the track to transition the launcher arm towards the rest configuration. 
     
     
         11 . A toy launcher, comprising:
 a shaft configured to couple to a track of a toy playset, wherein the track is configured to receive a toy vehicle;   a first segment extending from the shaft; and   a second segment extending from the first segment,   wherein the toy launcher is configured to rotate between a loaded configuration and a rest configuration, the first segment is configured to extend along a length of the track and the second segment is configured to extend towards the track in the rest configuration of the toy launcher, and the first segment is configured to extend away from the track and the second segment is configured to extend towards the toy vehicle positioned in the track in the loaded configuration of the toy launcher.   
     
     
         12 . The toy launcher of  claim 11 , comprising a handle extending from the shaft, wherein the handle is configured to rotate towards extension planar to the track to transition the toy launcher to the loaded configuration. 
     
     
         13 . The toy launcher of  claim 11 , comprising a handle extending from the shaft, wherein the handle is configured to rotate towards extension transverse to the track to transition the toy launcher to the rest configuration. 
     
     
         14 . The toy launcher of  claim 11 , comprising a handle extending from the shaft, wherein the handle is configured to rotate toward the track to move away from the toy vehicle positioned in the track and transition the toy launcher to the loaded configuration. 
     
     
         15 . The toy launcher of  claim 11 , wherein the first segment, in the rest configuration of the toy launcher, is configured to extend along a length of the track and engage the toy vehicle positioned in the track. 
     
     
         16 . A toy playset, comprising:
 a track comprising a channel configured to receive a toy vehicle; and   a launcher arm configured to rotate between a loaded configuration and a rest configuration, wherein the launcher arm comprises:
 an extension configured to extend into the channel in the rest configuration of the launcher arm to engage the toy vehicle positioned in the channel; and 
 a handle configured to rotate towards extension planar to the track along the channel to transition the launcher arm towards the loaded configuration, and the handle is configured to rotate towards extension transverse to the track along the channel to transition the launcher arm to the rest configuration. 
   
     
     
         17 . The toy playset of  claim 16 , wherein rotation of the handle towards extension planar to the track moves the handle towards the track, and rotation of the handle towards extension transverse to the track moves the handle away from the track. 
     
     
         18 . The toy playset of  claim 16 , wherein the launcher arm comprises a shaft coupled to the track, the shaft is configured to rotate relative to the track to rotate the launcher arm between the loaded configuration and the rest configuration, and each of the extension and the handle is connected to the shaft. 
     
     
         19 . The toy playset of  claim 16 , wherein the extension is configured to extend between the channel and a chassis of the toy vehicle positioned in the channel in the rest configuration of the launcher arm. 
     
     
         20 . The toy playset of  claim 19 , wherein the extension is configured to contact the chassis of the toy vehicle between wheels of the toy vehicle.
