Definitions

  • the invention relates to a game device in the manner of a mount, with a base and a pivot bearing arrangement and a handlebar arrangement with an upper and a lower side, via which the handlebar arrangement is articulated on the base with the aid of the pivot bearing arrangement and can be pivoted out of a rest position; further with spring devices through which the handlebar arrangement can be loaded against the rest position, and with a seat part which is connected to the upper side of the handlebar arrangement and defines a longitudinal dimension of the mount through its position.
  • Conventional game devices of this type generally have coil springs as a return device, which usually acts on the handlebars, occasionally also on the seat part.
  • coil springs as a return device, which usually acts on the handlebars, occasionally also on the seat part.
  • Such designs are described for example in GB-A-18 070/1914 or in US-A-2 244 447, in which such rocking horses are shown.
  • the open coil springs pose a not inconsiderable danger for children who can get caught in the screw turns and injure themselves.
  • the invention has for its object to design a game device of the type mentioned in such a way that the dangers resulting from the return device are avoided and at the same time simplification and cost reduction is possible.
  • the torsion spring only extends between the handlebars in the construction according to the invention, it is practically completely covered by the seat part and therefore no longer poses a risk to the child.
  • a rocking horse 1 has a base frame 2, which consists of longitudinal beams 3 and two cross beams 4 (only one is visible in FIG. 2).
  • Two bearing blocks 5 are fastened, for example screwed, to each of these crossbeams 4 (cf. FIG. 2).
  • a handlebar lever 6 is pivotally mounted, so that a total of four links 6 are arranged in pairs on each of the crossbeams 4.
  • more handlebars e.g. three, five or even six handlebars may be provided.
  • the handlebars 6 are supported in similar bearing blocks 5, which are firmly connected to a seat part 7.
  • the replica of an animal head 8, usually a horse, is usually attached to the seat part, where a handle 9 is also provided.
  • the design in the individual e.g. can be chosen differently from an aesthetic point of view.
  • stirrups (not shown) depending from the seat part 7 can be provided, on the one hand to perfect the illusion on the other hand to give the child sitting on the seat part 7 a hold, although with a correspondingly short design of the handlebars 6 they can also be found on the longitudinal beams 3 can.
  • the design of the seat part 7 with the parts 8 and 9 defines the longitudinal dimension of the mount (FIG. 1), whereas the width dimension can be seen from FIG. 2.
  • the two handlebars 6 are not completely parallel to each other in the rest position shown with solid lines, but are slightly inclined towards each other upwards because the distance between the two upper bearing pairs 5 is less than that of the two lower bearing pairs from each other.
  • the seat part 7 does not remain completely horizontal in the swiveled-out position (cf. the dashed position), but instead tilts forward, then back again, in accordance with the geometric conditions of a handlebar parallelogram, in order to obtain movements more similar to an actual riding process.
  • this type of movement counteracts a danger that arises when the child gives the horse an impulse to move against the rear position shown in broken lines. If the seat part 7 were additionally inclined towards the rear, this could easily lead to the child sliding down, or at least favor it, together with the movement impulse. However, this fact is counteracted by the fact that in the rear position the seat part 7 is higher at the rear than before.
  • This torsion spring preferably consists of a torsion bar with a cross section, as will be discussed later with reference to FIG. 3 and corresponds to a torsion spring shape known per se.
  • torsion spring bar eliminates the need to provide a cover sleeve or a similar housing for a leg spring, which is quite possible in itself, with a helically wound central part.
  • torsion spring bars are maintenance-free, have no projecting or jamming parts that could lead to injury and simplify assembly and manufacture, since the bearing pins otherwise required for the bearings 5 are formed by the torsion bars.
  • each torsion bar 10 on the bearing block 5 by two. Screws 11 secured.
  • Such a composite torsion spring rod 10 consists of a polygonal, here square, but possibly also triangular or provided with any number of corners outer housing 12 and an inner housing 13 which can be rotated relative to one another, as indicated by the broken line in FIG. 3.
  • the two housings 12, 13 can, but need not, be slightly torsionally elastic and thus contribute to the overall elasticity, but in any case must have a certain minimum of stiffness, since they interact with the actual spring elements, here four rubber rods 14.
  • the spring action results from the elastic deformation of these rubber rods 14.
  • the arrangement of several torsion springs. 10 the forces acting on the construction are distributed and can therefore be kept smaller at every point. This results in increased stability and security.
  • the arrangement of at least two, preferably four, handlebars 6, one or each pair in a row - viewed in the longitudinal direction of the mount - gives the child playing a movement which does not pose any danger, in particular if the handlebars 6 are slightly trapezoidal to converge upwards, as has been described with reference to FIG. 1.
  • a mounting block 15 is fastened on a crossbar 4 in any manner known per se, which carries the torsion spring 10 described with reference to FIG. 3 or its outer housing 12.
  • the housing 12 is relatively long, which allows a better distribution of the forces, and extends between two arms 6 arranged on both sides of a vertical median plane imagined by the mount.
  • the torsion spring 10 shown is common to both arms 6.
  • the inner housing 13 is shown by Jiier slightly above the outer housing 12, but this serves primarily to clarify. In practice, this will only be a relatively short piece.
  • ribs 19 it is preferable to have at least two such ribs 19; on the other hand, too many are not favorable because otherwise the grooves to be milled in the handlebar 6 are too close together and the webs remaining between them become too weak. It is therefore advantageous if the number of ribs 19 is not greater than eight, with a number of 3 to 5 longitudinal ribs 19 being particularly favorable.
  • the two links 6 shown in FIG. 4 are preferably connected to a frame by four at least one connecting web 20. If necessary, two such webs, e.g. evenly distributed over the length of the handlebars 6, can be provided.
  • Fig. 4 two different types of mounting of the fitting part 16 are shown on the left and right handlebars 6. While the fitting part 16 on the left handlebar 6 only engages with its longitudinal ribs 19 in the material thereof, the fitting part 16 on the right handlebar 6 is completely recessed so that the forces to be transmitted are distributed over an even larger area.
  • each pair of links mounted on a cross bar 4 is connected, for example, by two cross struts.
  • the front pair of links 6 can each be provided with outwardly projecting footrests for the child.
