Abstract

A manually-controlled switch for points, signals etc. on model railway is equipped with an indicator (12) having one or more l.e.d.s (18) or one for each switch position. A device senses the actual position of the switch. This is done by providing one inductive element for each switch position, in the form of electro-magnetic coils arranged in such a manner that a portion (10) of the mechanical switch gear comes closest to one of the coils when in one or the other switch position. All the coils are fed with an alternating current of the same frequency, and the receptivity of the coils is continually compared with each other in a comparator (6). The display unit (12) comprises the comparator circuit.

Description

Einrichtung zum Abfragen der Ankerstellung von Device for querying the anchor position of

elektromagnetisch zu verstellenden Schaltwerken fur Spielsachen «..B. für Gleisbahnen in SpielzeuggrößeO Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Abfragen der Ankerstellung in den zwei hintereinander oder nebeneinander angeordneten Spulen der Schaltwerke v.n elektrisch betriebenen Spielzeuggleisbahnen, mit Mitteln zum Anzeigen von Weichenzungen- oder Signalstellungen odO dglo Gekknnzeichnet ist das Erfundene dadurch, daß am Anschluß der Spulen die Induktivität beider Spulen verglichen und damit (zoBo mittels einer Leuchtdiode) ein optisches Signal ausgelöst wird, beispielsweise in der Art, daß das Vergleichsinstrument eine Anordnung mit Oszillator, Wheatstonescher Brücke und Verstärker isto Beim Betreiben von Spielzeugeisenbahnen wünscht es sich der Benützer, Vorgänge simulieren zu können, wie sie das Bedienungspersonal des Vorbildes ausübt, zum Zweck, Zugfolgen in dem Sinn kontrollieren zu können, daß sich der Bahnbetrieb unfallfrei abwickelt, Das spielseugtypische Problem besteht darin, den Ablauf der Kontrollen so einfach zu gestalten, daß verwickelte Betriebsanleitungen, also auch schwierige Verdrahtungsüberlegungen, vermieden bleiben, Leicht wäre es technisch möglich, das Vorbild exakt nachzuahmen0 Solche Imitationen würde jedoch das Spielzeug außerordentlich teuer machen0 davon ausgehend hat sich der Erfinder den Erfindungsgegenstand als ein auch von Laien bezüglich Einbau und Funktion leicht überschaubares Instrument ausgedacht, das billig und dazuhin als Zusatzartikel kataloggerecht anbietbar ist, Die Zeichnung zeigt ein Schaltschema des beanspruchten, in die Betrieksstromverkabelung 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 zwischen dem Transformator 6 als Stromquelle und einem Weichenzungenpendelschaltwerk 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 eingestöpselten Instrumentes 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 zum Abfragen der Stellung (Endstellung) des mit dem Stelldraht 11 versehenen Ankers 100 Die Leuchtdiode 18 zeigt die Ankerstellung an, Geschaltet wird das Weichenzungenpendelschaltwerk mittels des zwischen den Stellungen I und II hin- und herschwenkbaren Hebels 20o Die Teile 5 sind StöpselgesteckeO Leerseite Electromagnetically adjustable switchgear for toys «..B. for toy-size tracks O The invention relates to an interrogation device the armature position in the two coils arranged one behind the other or next to one another the switchgear of electrically operated toy tracks, with means for Indication of switch blade or signal positions odO dglo This is marked Invented by comparing the inductance of both coils at the connection of the coils and thus (zoBo by means of a light-emitting diode) an optical signal is triggered, for example in the way that the comparison instrument is an arrangement with an oscillator, Wheatstone Bridge and Amplifier is used when operating toy trains the user wishes to be able to simulate processes like the operating personnel of the role model, for the purpose of being able to control train sequences in the sense that that the railway operation is accident-free, the problem typical of Spielseug exists in making the inspection process so simple that complex operating instructions, so difficult wiring considerations, stay avoided, It would easily be technically possible to exactly imitate the model0 Such imitations however, would make the toy extraordinarily expensive0 assuming it has the inventor of the subject matter of the invention as well as by laypeople regarding installation and Function easily manageable instrument thought up, cheap and also as a Additional items can be offered in accordance with the catalog, the drawing shows a circuit diagram of the claimed, in the operating power cabling 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 between the transformer 6 as a power source and a switch tongue pendulum switch mechanism 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 plugged in Instrument 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 for querying the position (end position) of the Armature 100 provided with adjusting wire 11. The light-emitting diode 18 shows the armature position on, the switch blade pendulum switch is switched between the positions using the I and II pivotable lever 20o. The parts 5 are plug connectionsO Blank page
