Abstract

Trailer coupling device for vehicle toys with a spring loaded coupling hook swivelling up and down during the coupling and uncoupling process. The two halves of the coupling may also be swivelled round a vertical axis, and can be returned to their original position under spring pressure. Above or below the coupling device and made in a similar form there are a pair of spring contact forks capable of being swivelled round vertical axes and returnable against spring tension, which when coupled together conduct the operating current from one vehicle to another. The axes of each half of the coupling and each of its corresp. spring contact forks extend along the same axis.

Description

Anhängerkupplungsvorrichtung für PahrspielseugeO Trailer coupling device for PahrspielseugeO

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anhängerkupplungsvorrichtung fttr Fahrepielzeuge mit beim Kuppeln und Entkuppeln auf-und abschwenkbaren federbelasteten Kuppelhaken, wobei die Kupplungshälften auch um eine senkrechte Achse gelenkig schwenkbar und federbelastet in die Grundstellung rückstellbar sind0 Ein altes und kaum jemals die Wünsche der Bahabesitzer zufriedenstellendes Problem ist das Versorgen jedes Personenzugfahrzeuges mit Beleuchtungsstrom, zur Zeit erst recht deshalb, weil nichttreibende Wägen wegen der verwendeten leichten Baustoffe (Kunststoffe) sehr leicht sind, mithin der Stromübergang intermittierend ist0 Es liegt auf der Hand, die Stromversorgung der Anhänger durch die Anhängerkupplung hindurch fließen zu lassen Verlangt ist aber auch das automatische und deshalb leichtgängige Funktionieren solcher Kupplungen. Davon ausgehend wurde fur den Kupplungstyp der DU-OS 20 35 938 eine lösung des Problems erfunden, die es erwarten läßt, daß alle Forderungen an eine solche elektrisch und mechanisch einwandfrei wirkende Kupplung von dieser auch erfüllt werden. Dies erfindungsgemäß mit den Mitteln, daß ober- bzwO unterhalb der Anhängerkupplungsvorrichtung gleichartig ein Paar von im Kupplungszustand den Betriebsstrom von Fahrzeug zu Fahrzeug itberleitenden, um vertikale Achsen schwenkbare und automatisch rückstellbare Federkontaktgabeln angeordnet sind0 Solche Federkontaktgabelpaare benötigen keine Rasten für Kontaktschliisse. Das leichte Aufbiegen bzwO Verbiegen der Federzungenklemmen im Kontaktzustand reicht dazu aus, einerseits den Stromübergang zu sichern und um andererseits das Zusaemenschi eben und das Wiederauseinanderziehen störungsfrei zu gewährleisten0 Eine solche Kupplung schaut kompliziert aus0 Es ist jedoch sicher möglich, sie betriebssicher wirkend zu fabrizieren, insbesondere bei Bahnen mit großer Spurweite.The invention relates to a trailer coupling device for driving toys with spring-loaded coupling hooks that can be swiveled up and down when coupling and uncoupling, wherein the coupling halves are also articulated and pivotable about a vertical axis spring-loaded can be reset to the basic position0 An old one and hardly ever The problem that satisfies the wishes of the Baha owners is providing for each one Passenger train vehicle with lighting power, currently all the more because it is not driving Weighing is very light because of the light building materials (plastics) used, therefore the current transition is intermittent0 It is obvious the power supply Allowing the trailer to flow through the trailer coupling is required but also the automatic and therefore smooth functioning of such clutches. Based on this, the DU-OS 20 35 938 provided a solution to the problem for the coupling type invented, which leads one to expect that all demands on such electrical and Mechanically flawless working clutch from this one too Fulfills will. This according to the invention with the means that above or below the trailer coupling device similarly a pair of in the clutch state the operating current from vehicle to vehicle it transferring spring contact forks that can be pivoted about vertical axes and automatically reset are arranged0 Such spring contact fork pairs do not need notches for contact closures. It is sufficient to simply bend or bend the spring tongue terminals when in contact on the one hand to secure the current transfer and on the other hand to secure the community level and to ensure that it can be pulled apart again without interference0 Such a Coupling looks complicated0 However, it is certainly possible, it is operationally reliable to produce effective, especially for railways with large gauges.

Das in der Zeichnung veranschaulichte Aus führungsbei spiel macht dies glaubhaft, mittels der Fig 1 als Vertikallängsmittelschnitt durch eine Kupplungshälfte und mittels der beiden Fig 2 und 3 als Draufßichten auf deren beiden Federkontaktgabelpaare im entkuppelten und im gekuppelten Zustande Deren Hauptteile sind der aus einem Kunststoff gespritzte Zungenträger 1, 2, die auf das Teil 2 aufgeklibte metallische Kontaktfolie 3 und die metallische Federzunge 4.The exemplary embodiment illustrated in the drawing makes this credibly, by means of FIG. 1 as a vertical longitudinal center section through a coupling half and by means of the two FIGS. 2 and 3 as plan views of the two pairs of spring contact forks in the uncoupled and in the coupled state Their main parts are the tongue carrier 1, 2, which is injection-molded from a plastic and which is clipped onto the part 2 metallic contact foil 3 and the metallic spring tongue 4.

Schwenkbar ist jede der beiden Federkontaktgabein 1, 2, 3, 4 um den Zapfen 5 des den Kuppelhaken 6 kreuzgelenkig führenden Bolzens 6, der - ebenso wie die Bodenplatte 7 -am Wagenkastenboden befestigt ist.Each of the two Federkontaktgabein 1, 2, 3, 4 is pivotable about the Pin 5 of the coupling hook 6 universal joint leading bolt 6, which - as well as the floor plate 7 is attached to the car body floor.

Die Pufferfeder fUr den Kuppelhaken 6 ist mit 8 bezeichnet.The buffer spring for the coupling hook 6 is denoted by 8.

Die XUckstellfedern für die Federkontaktgabeln sind nicht eingezeichnete SchenkelfedernO Die Stromleitkabel 9, 10 sind an die Metallteile 3, 4 angelötet.The return springs for the spring contact forks are not shown Leg springs O The power cables 9, 10 are soldered to the metal parts 3, 4.

Der Zeichnung ist entnehmbar, daß die Federgabeln im Kupplungszustand zwei gute Kontaktstellen schaffen, ohne daß jedoch dabei Rastsperren entstehen,The drawing shows that the suspension forks are in the coupled state create two good contact points without creating detent locks,
