Abstract

The coupling (4,5) is intended for connecting two rails (1-3) of a model railway track. The flanges (4) of the coupling are shaped to clamp resiliently on to the foot (3) of the rail section. Each flange forms a tubular-section spring which is in tangential contact with the foot (3) and/or the vertical web (2) of the rail section. The ends, e.g. the edges, of the tubular springs may be in contact with the foot (e.g. figs 2,3). The sides of these springs may be in contact with the web (e.g. fig.3). The springs may be in contact with web and foot (e.g. fig.4).

Description

Kupplung f<ir zwei Fahrschienenenden des Gleises Coupling for two rail ends of the track

einer Spielzeugeisenbahn. a toy train.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine ii Profil U-förmige Kupplung flir Je iwei Fahrschienenenden des Gleises einer Spielseugeisenbahn, wobei sich die Flanken der Lasche der Kupplung zangenartig gespannt federnd an die Fahrschiene anlegen.The invention relates to a ii profile U-shaped coupling for each iwei Rail ends of the track of a toy railway, with the flanks of the Put the tab of the coupling on the rail, tensioned like a pair of pliers.

Gekennzeichnet ist das Erfundene in der Hauptsache dadurch, daß die Flanken tangential am Schienenfuß und bzw. oder Schienensteg anliegende Rohrsegmentfedern sind.What is invented is mainly characterized by the fact that the Flanks tangential to the rail foot and / or rail web adjacent tubular segment springs are.

Den Stand der Technik zur Erfindung bilden Laschenkupplungen, wie sie seit 50 Jahren allgemein angewendet näiiich Federblechspannbügel, wie sie von der Fig 1 der Patentzeichnung dargestellt werden. Solche Kupplungen haben sich als brauchbar erwiesen, doch verlangen sie bei der Mengenbefestigung das Waltenlassen von großer Sorgfalt sowohl beii Fabrizieren als auch bei Gebrauchen. Beim rohen Zusammenstecken nach wiederholtes gewalttätigen Auseinanderreißen leidet das Kontaktgeben beii Betriebsstromhindurchfließen durch die Verbindungen. Es leidet mithin die Betsiebsbereitschaft der Spielzeuganlage.The prior art for the invention is formed by plate couplings, such as they have been used in general for 50 years after spring sheet metal clamps like those from of Fig. 1 of the patent drawing. Such couplings have proven to be proven to be useful, but they demand that the crowd be given control of great care both in manufacture and in use. At the raw Sticking together after repeated violent tearing apart, making contact suffers when operating current flows through the connections. The willingness to sieve consequently suffers the toy system.

StUrungen durch Stromkreisunterbrechungen verursachen bei alten Gleisen viel Ärger. Auch verhalten sich die Trassen recht widerspenstig, wenn sie auf unebenem Boden verlegt werden0 Die Lokomotiven achwanken, wenn das Gleis (z.B.Disruptions caused by circuit interruptions on old tracks much trouble. The routes are also very stubborn when they are on uneven terrain 0 The locomotives sway when the track (e.g.

eine Gartenbahn) schwankend verlegt werden muß.a garden railroad) has to be laid unsteadily.

Die Erfindung verbessert dieses Bekannte optimal, denn die Rohrsegmentfedern haben längere Federwege bei flachen Kennlinien der Kraftwegdiagramme. Diese Behauptung wird beim Betrachten der Patentzeichnung glaubhaft, welche die neuen Formen den Bekannten gegentiberstellt, letzteres, wie schon erwähnt, mittels eines Querschnittes nach Fig 10 Die Fig 2 bis 5 zeigen Profile des Neuen, während die Fig 6 und 7 das Beanspruchte dreidimensional erläutern Die Pahrschienen aus Metall bestehen aus den Schienenköpfen 1, den Schienenstegen 2 und den Schienenfüßen 3.The invention improves this known optimally, because the tubular segment springs have longer spring deflections with flat characteristics of the force path diagrams. This claim becomes credible when looking at the patent drawing, which the new forms den Compared to acquaintances, the latter, as already mentioned, by means of a cross-section According to Fig. 10 Figs. 2 to 5 show profiles of the new, while Figs. 6 and 7 show the Three-dimensional explanation of stresses The metal rails are made of the rail heads 1, the rail webs 2 and the rail feet 3.

Die Kupplungen sind Blechlaschen, deren Flanken 4 nicht eben breitflächig (vgl, Fig i) sondern gerollt am Schienenfuß anliegen (Fig 2 bis 7), z.B. in der Art, daß nach den Fig 2 und 3 die Enden (also deren Kanten) der Rohrsegmentfedern 4 der Laschen 4, 5 am Schienenfuß 3, nach den Fig 4 und 5 jedoch am Schienensteg 2 und an Schienenfuß 3 anliegen. Es leuchtet dem Fertigungsfachmann ein, daß das Herstellen der Abwinkelungen nach den Fig 2 bis 5 einfacher ist als das Abkanten der Flanken 4 nach Fig 1.The couplings are sheet metal tabs, the flanks 4 of which are not flat over a wide area (cf. Fig. i) but lie rolled against the rail foot (Fig. 2 to 7), e.g. in the Kind that according to Figures 2 and 3, the ends (ie their edges) of the tubular segment springs 4 of the tabs 4, 5 on the rail foot 3, but according to FIGS. 4 and 5 on the rail web 2 and rest against rail foot 3. It is obvious to the manufacturing specialist that that Producing the bends according to FIGS. 2 to 5 is easier than folding of the flanks 4 according to FIG. 1.

Demnach ist auf das Ende einer Fahrschiene 1, 2, 3 die Lasche 4, 5 beispielsweise durch die untere kuesparung durch Verschweißen oder Verstanden befestigt. Die Schiene vom anschließenden GleisstUck wird beim Zusammensetzen der einzelnen Gleise in das Maul der Lasche eingeschoben0 Die eingerollten Seitenteile der Lasche drUcken dabei federnd auf den Schienenfuß und halten diesen kraftschltsaig fest.Accordingly, the tab 4, 5 is on the end of a running rail 1, 2, 3 for example, attached by welding or understanding through the lower kue recess. The rail from the adjoining track is used when assembling the individual Rails pushed into the mouth of the flap 0 The rolled up side parts of the flap press down on the rail foot and hold it firmly in place.

Eine zusätzliche Sicherung gegen Herauegleiten des Schienenendes kann durch die iedernde Zunge 7 erreicht werden, die von unten gegen den Sohienenfuß drückt und sich bei scharfkantiger Ausführung in diesen verbeißtO Die Nut 8, quer durch die Lasche, sorgt dafür, daß sich die Wulste (Rohrsegmentfedern) an beiden Sonden der Lasche unabhängig voneinander elastisch spannend verformen und sich evtlO ungleichen Stärken der Schienenftße anpassen können. Die Lasche ist aus korrosionsbeständigem federnden Blech gefertigt.An additional safeguard against sliding out of the rail end can can be reached by the lower tongue 7, which from below against the sole foot squeezes and bites into it if it is sharp-edgedO the Groove 8, across the bracket, ensures that the beads (tubular segment springs) Deform the tab in an elastically tensioning manner independently of one another on both probes and can possibly adapt to unequal strengths of the rail feet. The tab is made of corrosion-resistant springy sheet metal.

Der Hauptvorteil des Erfundenen besteht wahrscheinlich darin, daß die Kupplungen (paarweise pro Gleisstückstoß) horizontal und quer zur Fahrtrichtung extraelastisch zur Gelenk- bzwO Bewegungsachse sind, Dies bedeutet, daß die Gleisstücke Bodenunebenheiten willig folgen, ohne daß solche Verbiegungen der tasse Mängel hinterherschleppenO LeerseiteProbably the main advantage of inventing is that the couplings (in pairs per track section joint) horizontally and transversely to the direction of travel are extra-elastic to the joint or movement axis, This means that the track sections Unevenness of the ground willingly follow without such bends dragging the cup along with defects Blank page
