Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Verbinden von aus streifenförmigen Bahnstückelementen mit einem befahrbaren Mittelabschnitt und axial beidseitig zu diesem angeordneten, als unterseitig permanent offene Hohlkörper erhöht ausgebildeten Leitkörpern zusammengefügten Fahrbahnen oder Fahrbahnabschnitten für Fahrspielzeuge, die durch entsprechende Ausgestaltung mit geringem baulichen Aufwand die Fahrbahnen bzw. Fahrbahnabschnitte in beliebigen Ebenen aneinander lösbar werkzeugfrei zu fixieren erlaubt.The invention relates to a device for connecting roadway elements made of strip-shaped track elements with a drivable central section and axially on both sides of the guide bodies, which are constructed as hollow bodies which are permanently open on the underside, and which are joined together to form guideways or guideway sections for toy vehicles which, by appropriate design, have the guideways or guideway sections with little construction effort Can be detached from one another at any level without tools.

Erfindungsgemäß ist hierzu vorgesehen, daß in die Leitkörperhohlräume von mit den Leitkörpern nebeneinander gestellten Bahnstückelementen ein gemeinsamer Steckverbinder mit zwei miteinander fest verbundenen Klemmkörpern fest aber lösbar eingreift. Der Steckverbinder ermöglicht durch einen einfachen Schiebevorgang die Klemmkörper in die Leitkörperhohlräume benachbarter Fahrbahnstückelemente einzubringen und durch bevorzugt reibschlüssiges Abstützen derselben an den Wandungen der Leitkörperhohlräume der Bahnstückelemente eine lösbare Verbindung der Fahrbahnen bzw. Fahrbahnabschnitte herbeizuführen sowie durch einen Ausziehvorgang eine Trennung der Fahrbahnen bzw. Fahrbahnabschnitte zu bewirken. Abgesehen davon, daß sich so Fahrbahngruppen einfach und schnell bilden lassen, erlauben die Steckverbinder unter Erhöhung des Spieltriebs auch die Aufrichtung von Spielbauwerken, z. B. Gebäuden, Mauern oder Dächer bzw. Zauneinfriedungen durch aufrecht oder schräg mittels der Steckverbinder aneinander gehaltenen einzelnen Bahnstückelementen oder Fahrbahnabschnitten. Darüber hinaus geben die Steckverbinder auch die Möglichkeit, Fahrbahnabschnitte mit verschieden großen Neigungen aneinander zu halten um so, z. B. Steilkurven zu bilden. Die lösbare Festlegung des zweckmäßig durch ein einstückiges Spritzformteil gebildeten Steckverbinders in den Leitkörperhohlräumen läßt sich einfach und sicher dadurch erreichen, daß die beiden Klemmkörper des Steckverbinders durch jeweils zwei im Abstand nebeneinander ausgebildete elastisch abbiegbare Zungen gebildet sind, die mittels Vorspannung an den Wandungen der Leitkörperhohlräume anliegen.According to the invention, it is provided that a common connector with two clamp bodies firmly connected to one another engages firmly but releasably in the guide body cavities of track piece elements placed next to one another with the guide bodies. The plug connector enables the clamping bodies to be inserted into the guide body cavities of adjacent lane section elements by means of a simple sliding process and, by preferably frictionally supporting them on the walls of the guide body cavities of the lane section elements, to bring about a releasable connection of the carriageways or carriageway sections and to separate the carriageways or carriageway sections by a pull-out process . In addition to the fact that lane groups can be formed easily and quickly, the connectors also allow erection of toy structures, e.g. B. buildings, walls or roofs or fence enclosures by upright or at an angle by means of the connector held together individual piece of track elements or road sections. In addition, the connectors also give the possibility of holding sections of road with different inclinations to each other. B. Form steep curves. The releasable fixing of the connector, which is expediently formed by a one-piece injection molded part, in the guide body cavities can be achieved simply and safely in that the two clamping bodies of the connector are each formed by two elastically bendable tongues which are formed next to one another at a distance and which bear against the walls of the guide body cavities by means of prestressing .

In Ausgestaltung der Einrichtung ist vorgesehen, die beiden Klemmkörper des Steckverbinders im Abstand nebeneinander auf einem ebenen Trägerteil fest anzuordnen. Es versteht sich, daß der Abstand beliebig gewählt sein kann, wodurch wahlweise benachbarte Fahrbahnen oder Fahrbahnabschnitte eng oder mit weitem Abstand einander zugeordnet sein können. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die beiden Klemmkörper auf einen gewinkelten Trägerteil anzuordnen, wenn Neigungen der Fahrbahnen oder Fahrbahnahschnitte gegeneinander erforderlich werden. Ferner ist vorgesehen, die beiden Klemmkörper des Steckverbinders mit ihren einander zugenäherten Enden unmittelbar miteinander zu verbinden. wobei sich die Klemmkörper quer, sprizwinkelig oder stumpfwinkelig zueinander erstrecken können.In an embodiment of the device, it is provided that the two clamping bodies of the connector are fixedly arranged next to one another on a flat support part. It goes without saying that the distance can be chosen as desired, as a result of which adjacent roadways or roadway sections can be assigned to one another closely or at a great distance. There is also the possibility of arranging the two clamping bodies on an angled support part if inclinations of the carriageways or carriageway cuts towards one another are required. It is also provided that the two clamping bodies of the connector are connected directly to one another with their ends which are approached towards one another. wherein the clamping body can extend transversely, at an angle or obtuse to each other.

Eine winkelige Zuordnung ist insbesondere dann von Bedeutung, wenn Bauwerke mit geneigten Flächen, z. B. Dachflächen aufgerichtet oder Steilkurven gebildet werden sollen. Hierbei kann der von den Klemmkörpern eingeschlossene Winkel beliebig spitzwinkelig, z. B. 30°, 45° oder stumpfwinkelig, z. B. 135° gewählt sein. Schließlich läßt sich die Handhabung des Klemmkörpers beim Einschiebe- oder Ausschiebevorgang dadurch erleichtern, wenn der Steckverbinder einen als Griffteil dienenden Ansatz aufweist, der durch Erfassen den benötigten Kraftaufwand für die Überwindung der Reibungskraft zwischen Klemmkörper und Leitkörperhohlraumwand mühelos aufzubringen erlaubt.An angular assignment is particularly important if buildings with inclined surfaces, e.g. B. erect roof surfaces or steep curves are to be formed. Here, the angle enclosed by the clamping bodies can be at any acute angle, e.g. B. 30 °, 45 ° or obtuse, z. B. 135 °. Finally, the handling of the clamp body during the push-in or push-out process can be facilitated if the plug connector has an approach serving as a grip part, which allows the effort required to overcome the frictional force between the clamp body and the guide body cavity wall to be applied effortlessly by detecting.

In Fig. 1 sind mit 1 zwei nebeneinander gestellte Fahrbahnabschnitte bezeichnet, die durch mittels Vorsprüngen 2 und Zangen 3 zusammengehaltene Bahnstückelemente 4 gebildet sind. Die Bahnstückelemente weisen als Fahrbahnen dienende Mittelabschnitte 4' und seitliche Leitkörper 4" für diese auf. Die Leitkörper 4" sind als unten permanent offene Hohlkörper gestaltet. Die Fahrbahnabschnitte 1 sind durch einen Steckverbinder 5 miteinander fest aber lösbar verbunden, die hierzu in die Leitkörperhohlräume 4"' einschiebbar sind. Der in Fig. 1 zur Anwendung gebrachte Steckverbinder 5 entspricht der Ausbildung der Fig. 2, 3 und 9. Auf einer Trägerplatte 6 desselben sind im Abstand zwei Klemmkörper 7 fest aufgebracht, die bevorzugt durch zwei abbiegbare Zungen 7' gebildet sind. Die Klemmkörper 7 und die Trägerplatte 6 sind jeweils durch einen einstückigen Spritzformteil gebildet. Durch Vorspannung der Zungen 7' an den Leitkörperhohlraumwandungen 10 erfolgt eine reibschlüssige Festlegung der Leitkörper aneinander. Während beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1, 2, 3 und 9 die Klemmkörper 7 sich im wesentlichen parallel zueinander erstrecken, sind die Klemmkörper 7 des Steckverbinders 5 der Fig. 4 und 5 unmittelbar und rechtwinkelig miteinander verbunden. Die Klemmkörper des Steckverbinders der Fig. 4 weisen wiederum Klemmzungen 7' auf, die die Aufbringung von Klemm-Spannungen erleichtern. An den freien Enden sind die Klemmkörper 7 mit Einführungsschrägen 8 versehen.In FIG. 1, 1 denotes two lane sections placed next to one another, which are formed by track element elements 4 held together by means of projections 2 and pliers 3. The track section elements have middle sections 4 ′ serving as carriageways and lateral guide bodies 4 ″ for them. The guide bodies 4 ″ are designed as hollow bodies that are permanently open at the bottom. The roadway sections 1 are firmly but releasably connected to one another by a plug connector 5, which can be inserted into the guide body cavities 4 ″ for this purpose. The plug connector 5 used in FIG. 1 corresponds to the design of FIGS. 2, 3 and 9. On a carrier plate 6 of the same are spaced two clamping bodies 7 fixed, which are preferably formed by two bendable tongues 7 '. The clamping body 7 and the carrier plate 6 are each formed by a one-piece injection molded part. By prestressing the tongues 7 'on the guide body cavity walls 10, the guide bodies are frictionally fixed to one another. 1, 2, 3 and 9, the clamping bodies 7 extend essentially parallel to one another, the clamping bodies 7 of the connector 5 of FIGS. 4 and 5 are connected directly and at right angles to one another. The clamping body of the connector of FIG. 4 in turn has clamping tongues 7 'which facilitate the application of clamping voltages. At the free ends, the clamping bodies 7 are provided with chamfers 8.

Der Sterkverbinder 5 des Ausführungsbeispiels der Fig. 6 ist durch zwei unmittelbar stumpfwinkelig verbundene Klemmkörper 7 gebildet, die eine spitzwinkelige Verbindung von Bahnstückelementen 4 aneinander ermöglichen. Die so verbundenen Bahnstückelemente 4 können z. B. als Dach eines Bauwerks zum Einsatz kommen. Sie sind aber auch in Verbindung mit angefügten Fahrbahnabschnitten als Steilkurven verwendbar. Der in Fig. 7 gezeigte Steckverbinder 5 weist zwei unmittelbar verbundene Klemmkörper 7 auf, die sich spitzwinkelig zueinander erstrecken.The sterk connector 5 of the embodiment of FIG. 6 is formed by two directly obtuse-angled clamping bodies 7, which enable an acute-angled connection of web piece elements 4 to one another. The connected track piece elements 4 can, for. B. be used as the roof of a building. However, they can also be used as steep curves in conjunction with attached road sections. The connector 5 shown in FIG. 7 has two directly connected clamping bodies 7 which extend at an acute angle to one another.

Abweichend finden beim Steckverbinder 5 der Fig. 8 an einem abgekröpften Mittelteil 9 zwei fest angeordnete Klemmkörper 7 Anwendung, die eine rechtwinkelige Zuordnung von Bahnstückelementen 4 ermöglichen. Mittels eines als Griffteil dienenden Ansatzes 11 sind die Schiebevorgänge des Steckverbinders 5 kraftsparend vorzunehmen. Es entspricht dem Wesen der Erfindung, daß die zur Bildung der Zungen 7' vorgesehene Mittelteilung der Klemmkörper in Fortfall kommen kann.Deviating from the connector 5 of FIG. 8, two fixedly arranged clamping bodies 7 are used on a cranked middle part 9, which enable a right-angled assignment of track element 4. By means of a lug 11 serving as a handle part, the pushing operations of the connector 5 can be carried out in an energy-saving manner. It corresponds to the essence of the invention that the center division of the clamping bodies provided for the formation of the tongues 7 'can be eliminated.
