Abstract

The uncoupling device has an uncoupling platform (1) which lies in the idle state under a track (2) in a non-visible manner and is pivoted in the track for the uncoupling process. The uncoupling device is used as complete element to retrofit in existing railway tracks and is fixed under the track bed or the route. The device is installed as complete unit with rail in a railway track. The pivoting process is executed in mechanical, electromechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic manner.

Description

Entkupplungseinrichtungen für Spiel- und Modelleisenbahnen in Europa sind in der Regel so ausgeführt, daß eine Entkupplungsbühne im Gleisbett auf oder zwischen den Schwellen des Gleises liegt und für den Entkupplungsvorgang von Hand oder elektromechanisch angehoben wird. Diese Entkupplungsbühnen sind ein optischer Störfaktor, weil sie beim Vorbild nicht vorkommen. Bisher sind alle Versuche, diese Bühnen optisch zu tarnen, mißlungen oder mit Funktionseinbußen behaftet. So können die angehobenen Bühnen bei einigen Ausführungen nicht von den Fahrzeugen überfahren werden, da die Kupplungen an diesen Bühnen hängenbleiben und die Fahrzeuge zum Entgleisen bringen. Bei der Betätigung dieser Bühnen müssen die Kupplungen genau über der Bühne stehen, dann erst kann die Bühne angehoben werden. Das mißlingt häufig, da die Entkuppelstellen oft nicht gut einsehbar sind. Die im Patentanspruch 1. beschriebene Vorrichtung vermeidet alle diese Nachteile. Sie besteht aus einer Entkupplungsbühne (1), die sich im Ruhezustand unter dem Gleis (2) befindet und daher nicht sichtbar ist. Um Kupplungen zwischen Fahrzeugen zu lösen, wird die Bühne durch einen schmalen Schlitz in das Gleis geschwenkt, so daß darüber gezogene oder geschobene Fahrzeuge durch Auflaufen der für den Entkupplungsvorgang vorgesehenen Teile (Ausheber) der verwendeten Kupplung angehoben und dadurch der Entkupplungsvorgang ausgelöst wird. Dies ist mit praktisch allen Kupplungstypen der führenden Europäischen Modellbahnhersteller, verschiedenen Baugrößen und allen genormten (NEM 351 ff) Kupplungen möglich. Die Bühne kann bereits ausgeschwenkt werden, wenn sich die Fahrzeuge der Entkuppelstelle nähern, eine genaue Stellung der Fahrzeuge ist nicht nötig, da die Bühne von fast allen Modellwagen überfahren werden kann. Beispielhafte Ausführungen werden in den 13 gezeigt:Uncoupling devices for toy and model railways in Europe are usually designed so that a Entkupplungsbühne in the track bed on or between the sleepers of the track and is raised for the uncoupling by hand or electromechanically. These decoupling stages are an optical disturbance because they do not occur in the prototype. So far, all attempts to camouflage these stages optically, failed or afflicted with loss of function. Thus, the raised platforms can not be run over by the vehicles in some versions, since the clutches get stuck on these stages and derail the vehicles. When operating these stages, the clutches must be exactly above the stage, then only the stage can be raised. This often fails, as the uncoupling points are often not well visible. The device described in claim 1 avoids all these disadvantages. It consists of a decoupling stage ( 1 ), which are at rest under the track ( 2 ) and is therefore not visible. In order to solve clutches between vehicles, the stage is pivoted through a narrow slot in the track, so that pulled over or pushed vehicles raised by running the provided for the decoupling parts (lifter) of the clutch used and thereby the uncoupling process is triggered. This is possible with practically all coupling types of the leading European model railway manufacturers, different sizes and all standard (NEM 351 ff) couplings. The stage can already be swung out when the vehicles approach the decoupling point, a precise position of the vehicles is not necessary because the stage of almost all model cars can be run over. Exemplary embodiments are in the 1 - 3 shown:

1: Die Entkuppelbühne (1) wird durch einen schmalen Schlitz (3) zwischen den Schienenprofilen im Gleis (2) in Entkupplungslage geschwenkt. 1 : The decoupling stage ( 1 ) through a narrow slot ( 3 ) between the rail profiles in the track ( 2 ) pivoted in uncoupling position.

2: Das obere Ende der Entkuppelbühne (1) ist ein Teil des zwischen den Schienenprofilen liegenden Gleises (2), hier beispielsweise eine Schwelle. 2 : The upper end of the uncoupling platform ( 1 ) is a part of the track between the rail profiles ( 2 ), here for example a threshold.

3: Zusammen mit der Entkuppelbühne (1) wird ein zwischen den Schienenprofilen liegender Teil des Gleises (2) verschwenkt. 3 : Together with the uncoupling stage ( 1 ) is a lying between the rail sections of the track ( 2 ) pivots.
