연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Track assemblies and track assembly kits for children's ride-on vehicles, as well as children's ride-on vehicle systems, according to the present disclosure are configured for assembly and disassembly of a track assembly. Track assemblies may include elongate rail members, couplers that are configured to couple together two elongate rail members, and optionally tie members that include one or more couplers. Generally, track assemblies comprise a left rail (including longitudinally aligned elongate rail members) and a right rail (including longitudinally aligned elongate rail members) in a spaced-apart and parallel relationship. Elongate rail members, couplers, and/or tie members are configured to releasably and repeatedly couple together. In the disassembled state, the component parts may be stored and/or shipped compactly. In the assembled state, the track assembly may define a track path, and the track assembly may be configured to guide the children's ride-on vehicle along the track path.

1. A children's ride-on vehicle system, comprising: a children's ride-on vehicle, comprising: a vehicle body including a seat sized for a child; anda plurality of wheels operatively coupled to the vehicle body; anda track assembly kit, comprising: a plurality of elongate rail members;a plurality of couplers, each coupler configured to operatively and longitudinally couple together two elongate rail members from the plurality of elongate rail members; anda plurality of tie members, each tie member having a left end region and a right end region, and each tie member including a coupler from the plurality of couplers at the left end region and a coupler from the plurality of couplers at the right end region;wherein a respective elongate rail member and a respective coupler collectively define a coupling mechanism that is configured to releasable and repeatedly couple the respective elongate rail member and the respective coupler together, wherein the coupling mechanism includes: a catch;a latch with a shoulder configured to selectively engage the catch to couple the respective elongate rail member to the respective coupler; andan actuator extending from the shoulder and configured to release the respective elongate rail member responsive to user engagement of the actuator;wherein the plurality of elongate rail members and the plurality of tie members are configured to be assembled together to form a track assembly defining a track path, with a first subset of the plurality of elongate rail members longitudinally aligned, a second subset of the plurality of elongate rail members longitudinally aligned in a spaced-apart and parallel relation to the first subset of the plurality of elongate rail members, and the plurality of tie members spanning between the first subset of the plurality of elongate rail members and the second subset of the plurality of elongate rail members; andwherein the track assembly is configured to guide the children's ride-on vehicle along the track path, and wherein the children's ride-on vehicle is configured to travel along the track path. 2. The children's ride-on vehicle system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tie members are configured to space apart the first subset of the plurality of elongate rail members from the second subset of the plurality of elongate rail members by a defined distance. 3. The children's ride-on vehicle system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of elongate rail members includes a set of straight rail members and a set of curved rail members. 4. The children's ride-on vehicle system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of elongate rail members includes a support surface configured to support a wheel of a children's ride-on vehicle when the children's ride-on vehicle is driven along a track path defined by the track assembly. 5. The children's ride-on vehicle system of claim 4, wherein the respective elongate rail member has a first lateral side region and a distinct second lateral side region, and wherein the support surface extends between the first lateral side region and the second lateral side region. 6. The children's ride-on vehicle system of claim 5, wherein the first lateral side region of the respective elongate rail member includes the catch, and wherein the respective coupler includes the latch. 7. The children's ride-on vehicle system of claim 6, wherein the second lateral side region of the respective elongate rail member includes a protrusion, and wherein the respective coupler includes a slot configured to engage the protrusion to restrict movement of at least the second lateral side region of the respective elongate rail member relative to the respective coupler when the respective elongate rail member is coupled to the respective coupler. 8. The children's ride-on vehicle system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of elongate rail members includes a guide surface configured to engage and guide a wheel of a children's ride-on vehicle. 9. The children's ride-on vehicle system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of couplers are configured to operatively and longitudinally couple together two elongate rail members from the plurality of elongate rail members without aid of a tool. 10.
