FLEXIBLE PIECE OF TRACK FOR STEERABLE CAR TRACKS

ϊ The invention relates to a flexible piece of track for car racing tracks.

J ^Be i ground-bound toys, such as railways and Autorenn-

tracks become pieces of track in the form of straight lines or curves

f used. The straight lines have different dimensions in

. in terms of length. In the case of the curved track sections

,. those made with different curve radii so that parallel _:; Circles can be built.

In this way, certain sections of track are available for the construction of different routes, which are used alone can. Restrict with respect to the different arcs. the possibilities on the present track sections with a

certain fixed radius.

In toy trains, track pieces are known that are flexible in themselves, so that they can be used for the construction of straight Track sections or curved track sections can be used. In this way it is possible to create route sections to be built with any large or small radius. It is also possible to set the radius within an arc section to change if so desired. The course of the curve can therefore not only be an arc of a circle, but for example also an ellipse, a parabola, a hyperbola or another curve / correspond, in practical route construction is it is as possible, as in large-scale technology, the routing of the To adapt the landscape. The routing corresponds, for example, to a contour line on a mountain or runs parallel to a river.

However, the pre-history solutions cannot be used for " Raceway systems with steerable vehicles, for example according to patent application 2722734.5 / 15. These vehicles will guided on both sides of the track by a guide edge,

There is a need for the inventor to do so flexible track piece, which at the same time vain guide edge owns) to create *

According to a detailed example, each link that makes up the B ahn piece is built up, provided on both sides with a carrier. A flexible band can be drawn into this carrier as a guardrail. This flexible band adapts to the corresponding one The course of the flexible track.

Another possible solution is that each link is equipped on both sides with a telescopic part will. This part consists of a square rod with pins attached to the end and a hollow part in which the square rod Takes place. This hollow part has on the side of the opening from above and from below protruding walls * against the the pin of the square part runs if a corresponding one Shift is made.

The tenons of the Vierlcäntötäbes can be moved in the cave part, äö that the flexibility of the entire stage is fully retained, It is also ensured that the äii the F'äiiriähnfl.fläche subsequent side edge, which alternately äüä the Viürkantstäb and the wall is in one plane if the Track piece runs in a straight line. This is for a flawless one Functioning necessary because the steerable vehicles are on the edge of the track be led along. The guide means located on the vehicle slides along the limb-shaped parts. The flexibility of the track section allows not only the construction of curved sections, but also the construction of wave-shaped sections and the Combination of curved and undulating track sections.

The individual Glieriteile are also through in the direction of travel extending pin held together with associated holes. At the end of the pin there is an approach that goes into the associated Bore snaps into place, but normally cannot be removed. The flexibility of the track section is made possible by the approach the pin is limited, since the pin can only be moved in the bore up to the approach. Unintentional pulling apart the part is thus prevented.

In a known manner, spiral-shaped wires are used as current conductors used. These are connected at the end pieces with rod-shaped current conductors, so that the connection to others is not flexible Track pieces is possible because the same fits for the track pieces and the current conductors are available at the joints.

FIG. 1 shows a route section in a curved design and a section in a wave-shaped design.

In Figures II and III, the link parts 1 and the connecting link parts 2 can be seen. The member parts 1 has support members 3, which have a T-shaped recess at a corresponding height. The guardrail 4 made of flexible material is pushed into this T-shaped recess. The guardrail adapts to the corresponding holes and is cut to length. It then fills the space between the side walls 5 of the connecting member part 2. The guardrail 4 can, however, also be made of a material which is not only flexible, but also variable in length. In this way, the guardrail can then be firmly attached between the side walls 5 of the connecting member parts 2. Each link part 1 also has an approach of a downward going wall 6 with pin 7 and approach 8. A wall piece 10, which is also located on the link part 1, has the bore 11 into which the pin 7 together with the approach 8 is pressed. The approach 8 is such that it cannot be heraasgezc-gen from the bore 11 during normal use.

This arrangement is in the train piece around noon,

Seitüöh äii the limb parts, about below the Tfägerteüe 3, there is a similar arrangement, Eä is the Wall 12, pin 13, wall piece 14 and hole 15, it is also possible in this area instead of the pin 13 one Provide pin 7 with approach 8,

Figure IV shows a track portion formed integrally with the member parts 1 parts Fuei · the Seitenfünrung of the vehicles, the construction in the area of on-Fahibahnfläche corresponds to that in Figure II and 11I ₄

On the lateral area of the link parts 1 there are wall pieces 16, which form a part of the cave. On the "open side of this part of the cave Wall sections 17 and the opening 18. Opposite the opening 18 there is a square bar 19 together with a pin 20. The pin 20 is threaded into the opening 18, which is possible by appropriate dimensioning. Pulling out the pin 20 from the opening 18 is then no longer possible through the wall sections 17 on which the pin 20 abuts. The individual limb parts are thus connected to each other. The run-up area, at de .; the The vehicle is guided, is formed by the wall piece 16 and the square bar 19. In the case of straight track sections, these parts are located exactly in one plane. When the track section is twisted, there is a corresponding offset, but that for driving the vehicle is insignificant.

The spiral-shaped current conductors 30 are located in the area of the link parts 1. The rod-shaped current conductors 31 are located in the Area of the connecting part 2.

The pin adjoining the square bar 19 can also have a shape according to FIG the limb parts and makes it difficult to pull them apart after assembly.
