Description

Coaster toy with changeable trajectory {Coaster plaything having flexible rails}

The present invention relates to a coaster toy capable of changing the trajectory.

There are countless toys aimed at developing intelligence for early childhood children. In particular, the toy called roller coaster, color children, figure recognition ability, mathematical ability, and spatial structure analysis, as children directly move a large number of moving objects of various models and colors along a rail formed by a relatively complicated track. The ability to develop skills, such as brains will help the development of intelligent children.

On the other hand, the conventional coaster-type toys are already sold in a state in which the rail is solid, so it was impossible to deform the rail. In other words, the children can only move the moving bodies to the track of the once formed rail. However, this simplicity can easily become tired of the tired children and the children's interest also can not last long, there is a problem that the effect is difficult to achieve despite the advantages of the coaster toy as described above. In addition, the rail track, which needs to adjust the difficulty according to the age of the children and the degree of intelligence development, is maintained as it is initially set, so it is difficult to apply flexibly according to the growth and development of the brain. The work was frequent.

In addition, since the rail disposed on the base of the coaster toy is irregular, the occupied space is large when the coaster toy is stored.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and it is impossible to change the track of the rail in the coaster-type toy to solve the problem that children playing with the toy easily get tired or lose interest in play. Its purpose is to provide coaster toys that can help in continuous interest and children's intelligence development.
