Stunt ramp for wheeled toy device
View Patent ↗A stunt ramp for a wheeled toy vehicle to travel upon and provide from approximately 5 degrees to 180 degrees lift from the surface by the ramp structure. The ramp is made of two end pieces connected to each other by cross braces. The end pieces have grooves adapted to have a ramp sheet slid within the grooves. The end pieces are curved so that when the flexible ramp sheet is adjustably slid into the grooves the ramp sheet will curve as well.
1. A wheeled toy vehicle ramp, comprising:
two side support structures having grooves defined within upwardly sloping curved edges of said support structures, said support structures having apertures and being adapted to be connected to each other;
a plurality of cross braces, each having ends adapted to be inserted into said apertures to connect said two side support structures to each other;
a flexible sheet having two edges, each of said two edges adapted to slidingly fit within a corresponding one of said grooves so that said flexible sheet is entirely supported in said ramp by placement within said grooves of said side support structures and said flexible sheet to conform to a shape of said upwardly sloping curved edges to assume an upwardly sloping curved shape thereby forming an upwardly sloping curved ramp.
2. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 1 wherein each of said two support structures includes raised circular housings and each said raised housing has one of said apertures therein.
3. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 1 wherein said flexible sheet is made of plastic.
4. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 1 wherein ramp has an upwardly curved slope of approximately 90 degrees.
5. The ramp according to claim 1 wherein said plurality of cross braces including three cross braces, a first cross brace adapted to connect the top surface of said two sided support structures to each other, a second cross brace adapted to connect a lower front surface of said support structure and a third cross brace adapted to connect a lower rear surface of said support structure to each other.
6. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 1 , wherein said ramp has a front surface, a rear surface, and a top surface, and said plurality of cross braces connect said side support structures to each other at a lower portion of said front surface, at a lower portion of rear surface and at said top surface of said ramp.
7. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 6 wherein said first
ramp and said second ramp are connected to each other by one of said cross
braces.
8. A wheeled toy vehicle ramp, comprising
a first ramp structure and a second ramp structure, each of said ramp structures having a top surface and being formed of
two side support structures having grooves defined on upwardly sloping curved edges of said support structures, said support structures having apertures and being adapted to be connected to each other;
a plurality of cross braces, each having ends adapted to be inserted into said apertures to connect said two side support structures to each other;
a flexible sheet having two edges, each of said two edges adapted to slidingly fit within a corresponding one of said grooves so that said flexible sheet is entirely supported in said ramp by placement within said grooves of said side support structures and said flexible sheet to conform to a shape of said upwardly sloping curved edges to assume an upwardly sloping curved shape thereby forming an sloping curved ramp
wherein said second ramp structure is turned upside down and placed on top of said first ramp structure so that the top surface of second ramp structure rests on top of the top surface of said first ramp structure thereby forming an inverted C-shaped ramp structure having an approximated 180 degree curved slope.
9. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 8 wherein each of said support structures includes raised circular housings and each said raised housing has one of said apertures therein.
10. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 8 wherein said flexible sheet is made of plastic.
11. The ramp according to claim 8 wherein said plurality of cross braces for each said ramp includes each ramp having a first cross brace adapted to connect a lower front surface of said support structures to each other, a second cross brace adapted to connect a lower rear surface of said support structure to each other and said two ramps further being connected together by a third cross brace adapted to connect the top surfaces of said two ramps together when said second ramp is placed on top of said first ramp.
12. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 11 wherein said flexible sheet is made of plastic.
13. The ramp according to claim 11 wherein said plurality of cross braces for each said ramp includes each ramp having a first cross brace adapted to connect a lower front surface of said support structures to each other, a second cross brace adapted to connect a lower rear surface of said support structure to each other and said two ramps further being connected together by a third cross brace adapted to connect the top surfaces of said two ramps together when said second ramp is placed on top of said first ramp.
14. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 11 wherein said flexible sheets can slide up or down within said respective grooves of said respective side support structures and at least some of said plurality of cross braces can be placed in correspondingly, appropriate openings in said respective side support structures to support said flexible sheets in their positions so that said ramps can adjustably vary its sloping surface.
15. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 11 wherein the two ramps are connected by said third cross brace having one end going into a top opening of the bottom ramp and another end going into the bottom opening of the top ramp on each side of said side support structures.
16. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 11 , wherein each of said ramps has a front surface, a rear surface, and a top surface, and said plurality of cross braces connect said side support structures to each other at a lower portion of said front surface, at a lower portion of said rear surface.
17. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 11 wherein the two ramps are connected by said third cross brace having one end going into a top opening of the bottom ramp and another end going into the bottom opening of the top ramp on each side of said side support structures.
18. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 17 wherein said ramp can have a slope varying from approximately 5 degrees to 180 degrees.
19. The wheeled toy vehicle ramp according to claim 8 , wherein each of said ramps has a front surface, a rear surface, and a top surface, and said plurality of cross braces connect said side support structures to each other at a lower portion of said front surface, at a lower portion of rear surface.
