Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roadway for driving toys according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a roadway for toys with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is essentially known from GB-A 2 039 456.
  • wire spirals are provided as busbars, the ends of which are fixed to contact members, the wire spirals of adjacent roadway sections being connectable to one another by means of these contact members.
  • the contact members are each formed by a flat part inserted in a widened track element, which engages with a hook-shaped cut between the turns of the wire spirals and has bends as contacts at the free ends.
  • EP-A 0 072 375 discloses a track section consisting of a number of link parts for rail-bound toy vehicles, in which these link parts can be shifted and pivoted into one another in all directions.
  • This document also indicates the possibility of arranging a flexible power supply for toy vehicles in the region of the track section, for example in the form of two spirals, but this option is not designed in any more detail.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a roadway for toys with the features of the preamble of claim 1 and to design this roadway in such a way that the roadway sections can be connected to each other safely and easily to self-contained busbars and that at the same time a safe Connection of the wire spiral sections with connecting wires is guaranteed.
  • this object is achieved in that the wire spiral sections are mechanically and electrically connected to one another by pushing together adjacent ends of the windings and are encompassed by clamping members over a partial length and a partial circumference, and in that the clamping members each have a connecting eye for electrical connecting wires.
  • an advantageous further development of the invention consists in that the clamping members are plugged onto the wire spiral sections.
  • the clamping members are fixedly arranged in the recesses of the track element and have corresponding axial through openings for the wire spiral sections with the insertion slots of the recesses, thereby ensuring that when the wire spirals are attached, they are secure are penetrable into the recesses.
  • a roadway 1 shown in FIG. 1 is formed by a number of strip-shaped track section elements 2. These track section elements 2 are pivotally and slidably connected to one another by coupling elements 3 and 4 with play. Each of the track section elements 2 has a central section 6 which is traveled by a driving toy 5 and which is delimited at the lateral ends by guide bodies 7. Grooves 8 are formed in the middle section 6 for better traction for the driving toy 5. At a distance from both sides of the longitudinal central axis, the track section elements 2 have recesses 9, which form channels for the pluggable reception of wire spirals 10 serving as busbars. An iron material or a material with greater electrical conductivity, for example copper, can be used as material for these wire spirals 10.
  • the wire spirals 10 can be pressed into the recesses 9 by means of insertion slots 11 with a smaller width than the diameters of the wire spirals 10, and are fixed in these recesses by the edge regions of the insertion slots 11, whereby a particularly simple, automatic fixing of the wire spirals 10 in the recesses 9 is brought about .
  • a deformation of the wire spirals 10 which is automatically canceled when the wire spirals 10 enter the recesses 9 by the biases acting on the wire spirals 10.
  • the wire spirals 10 overlap the central portion 6 with ring sections of the windings 10 "in such a way that the wire spirals 10 can be tapped as conductor rails by grinders 12 of the toy vehicle 5.
  • the supply of electrical energy to the drive motor of the Driving toy 5 takes place from the outside.
  • the clamps 15 can also be arranged fixed in the recesses 9, the assignment of the lead-through opening 15 'to the insertion slot 11 ensuring the insertion of the wire spirals 10 into the recesses 9 (cf. FIG. 7).
  • the ends 10 'of the wire spirals can be connected simply by pushing the turns 10 "of the wire spirals 10' to be connected together (see FIG. 8).
  • the turns 10 'of the one end 10' engage in spaces between the turns 10". the other end 10 ', whereby the formation of thickenings is excluded.
  • the track section elements 2 form a single lane.
  • two wire spirals 10 are arranged next to one another at a predetermined distance in the track elements 2, one of which is a wire spiral 10 via the connecting wire 13 and with the interposition of a voltage-variable control device 18, for. B. a variable resistor to which one pole of a current source is applied, while the other wire spiral 10 is connected directly via the connecting wire 14 to the other pole of the current source.
  • the flexibility of the wire spirals 10 serving as busbars also allows a plurality of lanes 1, each consisting of lane elements 2, with wire spirals 10 inserted into recesses 9 as busbars to be arranged next to one another, these lanes 1 by means of the guide bodies 7 are fixed to one another by connecting piece elements 2 arranged next to one another from below. In this way, multi-lane roadways can be reproduced.
