Abstract

The plug-in foot permits the vertical assembly of model railway lights and similar components by simply plugging them into a hole (2), it being unnecessary for the axis of the hole to be perpendicular. With free-hand drilling into an assembly board, the axis of the hole is generally not perpendicular. The advantages arise as a result of rapid and simple assembly, improved appearance and the possibility of removing the components from the receiving hole when repairs are necessary. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckfuß für mastförmige Bauteile einer Modellbahn, wie Modellbahnleuchten, Modellbahnampeln nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Eine solcher ist bekannt durch die DE 23 35 461 B2 sowie das DE-GM 7 90 280. Bei diesen bekannten Steckfußausführungen ergibt sich zwangs­ weise eine Übereinstimmung von Bohrungsachse und Steckfuß­ achse, da die Klemmung entlang bzw. parallel dieser Achsen erfolgt. Aus diesem Grund werden Steckfüße vorwiegend nur dann verwendet, wenn maschinell vorgefertigte Bauteile verwendet werden (z. B. Kunststoffbahnsteig/Bahnsteig­ leuchten oder Bahnübergang/Andreaskreuze). Bei diesen maschinell gefertigten Bauteilen ist der senkrechte Sitz der Aufnahmebohrungen und somit der der einzusteckende Teil gewährleistet.The invention relates to a plug-in foot for mast-shaped components of a model train, such as model train lights, Model train lights according to the preamble of claim 1. Such is known from DE 23 35 461 B2 and DE-GM 7 90 280. In these known plug-in versions, there is an inevitable result have a match between the bore axis and the plug-in foot axis because the clamping along or parallel to these axes he follows. For this reason, plug-in feet are mainly only then used when machine prefabricated components can be used (e.g. plastic platform / platform light up or level crossing / St. Andrew's crosses). With these machine-made components is the vertical seat of the Location holes and thus the part to be inserted guaranteed.

Mastförmige Bauteile, die für die direkte Montage auf der Montageplatte vorgesehen sind, haben i. d. R. einen großflächigen, nicht vorbildgetreuen Fuß, der mittels Schrauben auf der Oberfläche der Montageplatte befestigt wird. Dieses ist notwendig, weil genaue senkrechte Aufnahme­ bohrungen, wie sie bisher für Steckfüße erforderlich waren, ohne Hilfsmittel vom Modellanlagenbetreiber nicht hergestellt werden können.Mast-shaped components that are used for direct Mounting on the mounting plate are provided, i. d. R. a large, non-prototypical foot that Screws attached to the surface of the mounting plate becomes. This is necessary because of the exact vertical recording holes as were previously required for plug-in feet, not manufactured without tools by the model system operator can be.

Aus der Zeitschrift Kunststoff/Plastics 2/1979, S. 8-18 insbes. S. 18 links oben ist eine Schnappverbindung bekannt, der die Form des erfindungsgemäßen Steckfußes entspricht. Bei der­ artigen Schnappverbindungen sind aber im zugehörigen Bohrungsteil Ringkerben zum Einrasten vorgesehen und die Bohrungen sind stets winkeltreu zu dem Steckfuß angeordnet.From the magazine Kunststoff / Plastics 2/1979, pp. 8-18 In particular p. 18, a snap connection is known at the top left corresponds to the shape of the plug-in foot according to the invention. At the like snap connections are in the associated bore part Ring notches are designed to snap into place and the holes are always arranged at right angles to the plug-in foot.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Steckfuß für derartige Bauteile so auszubilden, daß eine senkrechte Montage der mit dem Steckfuß ausgerüsteten Bauteile auch bei nicht senkrechten Aufnahmebohrungen problem­ los möglich ist.The invention has for its object a plug-in foot to train such components that a vertical assembly of the equipped with the plug-in foot Components also problem with non-vertical mounting holes is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer gattungsgemäßen Einrichtung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This task is carried out in a generic device the characterizing features of claim 1 solved.

Die Vorteile ergeben sich durch die schnelle und einfache Montage, durch das bessere Aussehen sowie durch die Möglich­ keit, die Bauteile bei notwendigen Reparaturen aus der Aufnahme­ bohrung herauszuziehen und umzulegen.The advantages result from the quick and easy Assembly, by the better appearance and by the possibility speed, the components for repairs from the recording pull out the hole and move it.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt einen Steckfuß vor dem Einstecken in die Aufnahmebohrung der Montageplatte. Das oben heraus­ ragende Bauteil sowie die nach unten herausgeführten Anschlußkabel sind nur angedeutet. Fig. 1 shows a plug-in foot before insertion into the mounting hole of the mounting plate. The component protruding out at the top and the connection cables leading down are only hinted at.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt einen Steckfuß im eingesteckten Zustand. Die Bohrung (2) ist nicht senkrecht. Das Bauteil steht senkrecht auf der Montageplatte. Fig. 2 shows a plug-in foot in the inserted state. The bore ( 2 ) is not vertical. The component stands vertically on the mounting plate.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel, welches die im Anspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmale ebenfalls aufweist. Die Anschlußkabel des Bauteils sind hier nicht angedeutet. Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment, which also has the features listed in claim 1. The connection cables of the component are not indicated here.
