Model track section

Claim 1

A track section for model vehicles comprising an elongate body, vehicle support means extending longitudinally on said body, a formation on each end of said body having one side facing generally laterally and provided with a generally laterally facing concavity, resilient means on said one side of each of said formations extending obliquely therefrom toward said body across the concavity of said formation and being deflectable laterally toward the concavity of the associated formation, interengagement means on each end of said body configured to cooperate with said formation for removable interengagement in end-to-end relation with a like track section with said resilient means deflected laterally toward the adjacent concavity, said resilient means comprising an obliquely disposed conductive metal strip portion, said interengagement means and formations being configured to guide a like track section longitudinally into and out of said end-to-end relation at an angle with respect to said metal strip portions for laterally deflecting the latter toward said concavities, and an additional conductive metal strip portion extending inwardly from said oblique metal strip portion longitudinally along said body and having its opposite end portion exposed laterally for bearing engagement with an oblique metal strip portion of a like track section, said obliquely disposed metal strip portion and said additional conductive metal strip portion being an integral length of resiliently deflectable strip material substantially straight in its undeflected condition.
