Abstract

Toy steam engine pulls a tender (3) which contains a noise generator (1) and loud-speaker (2). The noise simulates the noise of a real steam engine and is directed downwards to the rails (4) by the loudspeaker (2). The noise generator (1) has control knobs (5) to adjust the tone and volume. The tender (3) which has a cover (6) which clips into place is connected to the engine by a coupling (7). Using the loudspeaker to direct the noise downwards gives a more realistic result than any existing method. The base of the tender over which the loudspeaker is positioned, is perforated.

Description

Triebfahrzeug einer Spielzeugbahn. Locomotive of a toy train.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Triebfahrzeug einer Spielzeugbahn mit einer elektrisch wirkenden Einrichtung zwecks Erzeugens eines Lokomotivgeräusches.The invention relates to a locomotive of a toy train with a electrically acting device for the purpose of generating a locomotive noise.

Schwierig ist es schon immer gewesen, in die Triebfahrzeugmodelle alle diejenigen Elemente einzulagern, die bei den Triebfahrzeugvorbildern eingebaut sind. Es ist deshalb altbekannt, Antriebe, aber auch Pfeifen in Triebfahrzeuganhänger zurllckzusetzen. Logisch ist es, daß Lokomotiv-Geräuscherzeuger in die Triebfahrzeuggehäuse also auch in die Triebfahrzeugkessel oder in die Triebfahrzeugftihrerstände unter dem Zwang des Nachbildenwollens hineinbugsiert werden sollen.It has always been difficult to get into the locomotive models to store all those elements that are built into the locomotive prototypes are. It is therefore well known not only drives, but also whistles in traction vehicle trailers reset. It is logical that the locomotive sound generator should be installed in the locomotive housing thus also in the locomotive boiler or in the locomotive driver stands should be maneuvered into the compulsion of the will to replicate.

Nun hat sich bei Versuchen des Erfinders überraschenderweise herausgestellt, daß eine exsellent vorbildstreue Akustik der Vorbildegeräusche ausgestrahlt wird, wenn der Lautsprecher nach unten gegen das Gleis zischt. In diesem Fall wird der aufmerksame Modelliebhaber erwünschtermaßen getäuscht.Surprisingly, it has now been found in experiments by the inventor that an excellent prototypical acoustics of the prototype noises is emitted, when the loudspeaker hisses down against the track. In this case the attentive model lovers desirably deceived.

Er meint, das Geräusch käme aus dem Lokomotivmodell heraus, trotzdem es seine Quelle unter dem Tender hat, Infolgedessen ist es erfinderisch, daß die Einrichtung, bestehend aus dem Geräuscherzeuger samt Xautgeber in einem Anhänger, vorzugsweise dem Tender einer Dampflokomotive, in der Art eingebaut ist, daß die Bedienungsknöpfe (zoB für die Lautstärke, die Klangfarben etc) nach dem Abnehmen eines Deckels (z.B. eines Anhkngerdaches) zum Verändern der Einstellung des Geräuscherzeugers von oben her zugänglich sind, der Lautsprecher die vom Geräuscherzeuger zusammenprogrammierten Töne Jedoch nach unten wirft.He thinks the sound comes from the locomotive model despite this it has its source under the tender, As a result it is inventive that the Equipment, consisting of the sound generator and the Xautgeber in a trailer, preferably the tender of a steam locomotive, installed in such a way that the Control buttons (e.g. for volume, tone colors, etc.) after removing a lid (e.g. a trailer roof) to change the setting of the sound generator accessible from above, the loudspeakers programmed together by the sound generator Throws down sounds, however.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung eind iwisohen dem Triebfahrzeug und dem die Einrichtung enthaltenden, sie umschließenden Gehäuse Mehrfaohkontaktgestecke als Brücken vorgesehen. Ferner Deckel für die aerAusoherzeuger, so daß die Deckel mittels Federbl@chklemmen auf dem Wagenkasten leicht lösbar festgehalten werden.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is also used in the traction vehicle and the device containing and enclosing the housing Mehrfaohkontaktgestecke intended as bridges. Furthermore, cover for the aerobar, so that the cover easily detachable by means of spring clips on the car body.

Die Zeichnung zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel schematisch.The drawing shows an exemplary embodiment schematically.

Man erkennt aus ihr heraus, daß die Geräuscherzeugerhauptteile (elektronischer, zoBo drahtlos beeinflußbarer Geräuscherzeuger 1 und Lautsprecher 2) im Gehäuse 3 des Tenders des Dminpflokomotivenmodells eingebaut sind. Der Lautsprecher 2 strahlt die Töne abwärts gegen d's Gleis 4o Oben auf dem Geräuscherzeuger 1 befinden sich die Steuerdrehknöpfe 5 und darüber der mit Federblechzungen leicht lösbar festgeklemmte Deckel 6o Ein Mehrfach-Kontaktgesteck 7 ist eine Brücke oberhalb der Ebene der Anhängerkupplung zwischen Triebfahrzeug und Tender.You can see from it that the main parts of the sound generator (electronic, zoBo wirelessly controllable noise generator 1 and loudspeaker 2) in the housing 3 of the tender of the Dminpflokomotiven model are installed. The loudspeaker 2 radiates the tones down towards d's track 4o are located on top of the noise generator 1 the control knobs 5 and above that clamped with spring steel tongues so that it can be easily released Cover 6o A multiple contact plug 7 is a bridge above the level of the trailer coupling between the locomotive and the tender.
