Based on the arrangement mentioned above, this object is achieved in that the garage on a elevated position has an exit to which one end of a railway track for the toy cars can be connected and to which the cars can be transported by means of the lift.

With this solution, the lift can also be used to bring the toy cars to the elevated position To bring position from which they can run off under the influence of gravity on the railroad track. About that- In addition, it is possible to connect the free end of the railroad track to the entrance of the garage, creating a A circular path is created for the toy cars and the cars picked up by the lift and either in a empty parking box or to the elevated exit, i.e. at the beginning of the track can.

The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the preferred exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing explained. Show it:

1 shows the garage in a perspective illustration; as

Fig. 2) Side views of the lift in different Fig. 3) different operating positions.

The garage has a base plate 1 in which an electric motor with batteries and switches. There are two push buttons 2 to operate the switches provided, with which the direction of rotation of the motor can be switched. On the base plate 1 is a tower frame 3 attached, by means of a number of tiltable floor pieces 4 is divided into a number of vertically stacked parking boxes. The floor pieces 4 are rotatably held on the frame by means of horizontally extending pins o. The like. In columns 6, of which one is provided on each side of the tower. The bottom pieces are in their rest position on stops in the downward sloping position. Integral stock—

Part of each base piece is a finger 7, with the aid of which the assigned base piece can be tilted in the opposite direction and then runs upwards at an angle from the rotating edge.

At the bottom of the tune, that is to say at the floor level, a device is provided at which one end has an nes flexible railroad track A can be attached and held by frictional forces. The railroad track serves for guiding freely running toy cars. Another same facility in the ground level is a another track B can be attached »to the» the access vob Turn off but normally please until a door 8 is locked.

The area adjoining the parking stalls forms the Shaft for a lift or lift 9, which is shown in its uppermost position, in which it is aligned with the exit of the tower above. At this point, the side wall of the tower has an opening which leads to a fork-shaped holding and coupling piece 10 that another railroad track C can be connected. A rotatably arranged flap 11 is in its rest position a position in which a toy car released from the lift onto the holding / coupling piece is stopped will. In order to release the car from this position, the flap 11 is activated by means of a mechanical transmission mechanism. rod or the like, which can be actuated with the aid of a further push button 12 arranged on the base plate 1 or is raised by means of the lift that has reached the topmost position.

The elevator 9 consists of an L-shaped cabin 16 which runs in a vertical guide and to a flexible one

Cord is connected, which is initially up over dat !! »swivel castor and then guided downwards on a drive pulley, which in turn with the» electric motor is coupled. The L-shaped cable 16 carries a tilting floor 13 which, in its rest position, is a little downwards and is tipped away from the parking boxes. However, this Kipphoden has a vertically protruding control finger IS, the kit a »movable stop susaaaenworks; if the control finger 15 moves from below against the stop, the floor 13 of the cabin IS is in the opposite one Direction, that is, tilted towards the parking boxes.

The stop has the shape of a rod or a pin, which is in any one of a number of to one another ^ aligned openings provided in the column 6

* 14 can be used; each parking box is a pair that »

assigned to these openings.

When playing, a car hits the ground level and becomes i »Lift stopped because door 8 is closed. If the car is to be brought back onto the railroad track, j the lift is driven up to the top of the tower

where it stops at the exit in the area of the holding and coupling piece, so that the car in the cabin roll onto the coupling piece can and strikes against the flap 11. The car is released from this position by pressing the push button 12. Venn a car alternatively in an empty park— box is to be turned off, one of the mentioned Holding pins pushed through the pair of openings 14 immediately above this box.

The floor of the cabin swivels and the car on it can roll into the parking box.

In order to get a toy car out of a certain parking box, the elevator is first down to one place Driven above this box and then inserted a stop pin into that pair of openings 14 that is provided immediately below the level of the box. The lift is then steered downwards and runs on the Pin on without the tilting floor of the lift being moved out of its normal position in this case. That Car selected for removal is then manually tilted into the parking box by manually tilting the bottom piece 4 Lift directed.

For example, if a series of toy cars is taken out of the parking boxes and to the one at the top of the Garage exit is to be brought, while at the same time other cars at the in the ground level Arriving entrance, the door 8 located there can be left open so that the arriving cars can get from track A through the garage directly to track B, where track B is a can be another part of the track system or simply leads to a parking space.
