Definitions

  • the invention relates to a car racing track.
  • Car racing tracks of newer design can be influenced in speed and steering.
  • Appropriate means are provided on the control device and on the vehicle in order to trigger the corresponding effect.
  • Patent application 27227345.15 serves as an example of such racecourses.
  • the invention has set itself the task of eliminating these disadvantages and.
  • the track sections of this system are equipped in one piece with a longitudinal guide on the outer edge as well as parallel to this and parallel to the current conductors with a guide slot.
  • the dimensions of the guide slot are dimensioned such that none of the vehicle wheels can sink into it, which is easily possible with the wide tires used today.
  • connection can be canceled by removing a gear.
  • essence of the invention should not be limited to this solution.
  • a straight-ahead position of the front wheels does not need to be installed in the exemplary embodiment, since a spiral spring arranged between the steering knuckles has this effect of the straight-ahead position.
  • a guide pin must be installed, which can sit on the same assembly part or another assembly part.
  • pantographs are not converted, since the track section was dimensioned accordingly.
  • the leading edges on the vehicle can be designed to be removable. However, a slight play of the contact surface of the vehicle in relation to the lateral edge can also be achieved by a slight sideways shift of the guide groove, so that disassembly can be dispensed with.
  • Fig. 1 - 3 shows the lower part (chassis) 1 of the vehicle.
  • the body is screwed on.
  • the lower part carries power take-off grinders 2, 3, which slide over the road at an appropriate point and ensure the energy supply. This is done by the current conductors 30, 31, 32, 33, which are accommodated in the track section 35.
  • the track section 35 also has a guide edge 36 and a guide groove 37 on the side.
  • the power take-off grinders 2 and 3 of the vehicle rest on the current conductors 31 and 32.
  • Another vehicle uses the current conductors 30 and 33 by swapping the current pick-up grinders 2 and 3 in the vehicle.
  • buttons 4 and 5 which are designed to be removable in the exemplary embodiment.
  • the mounting part 6 also has a receiving fork 10 for receiving the guide pin 11.
  • connection processes take place with the aid of screws.
  • Other solutions for example snap connections, bayonet locks, swivel toggles, can also be provided.
  • Fig. 4 shows a section through the web section
  • Fig. 5 shows the track section in perspective with the current conductors inserted.
  • the essential feature of the invention is the possibility of using a car racing track with either steerable or track-guided vehicles. It is not necessary that only steerable or only track-guided vehicles are used. It is possible to use some of the vehicles in a guided way. For example, there may be a guided vehicle on the right and left. These vehicles use the same position of the current pick-up grinder 2, 3. For example, in the equipment according to Fig. 2, the current conductors 31 u. 32 used.
  • a speed controller is then used for each vehicle, a separate circuit being used for the right-hand side of the road and the left-hand side of the road.
  • a steerable vehicle can then be supplied via the current conductors 30, 33.
  • the change of sides is possible if the right current conductor 30 and the left current conductor 30 are connected to one another and also the right current conductor 33 and the left current conductor 33.
  • steerable and non-steerable i.e. track-guided vehicles
  • the conversion from the steerable to the track-guided vehicle is limited to the insertion of a guide pin and possibly to the removal of buttons 4 and 5.
  • the changeover can therefore be carried out easily by any layperson. It can be regarded as part of the game stimulus, since a quick change from steerable vehicles to track-guided vehicles is possible. In this case, a somewhat increased friction of the front wheels due to the steering angle is accepted even when used as track-guided vehicles. If this increased friction is to be avoided, the frictional connection from the engine to the front wheel steering must be separated; as described, possible.
