Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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 .
  • the connectors also allow erection of toy structures, e.g. B.
  • 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 .
  • 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.
  • an angular assignment is particularly important if buildings with inclined surfaces, e.g. B. erect roof surfaces or steep curves are to be formed.
  • the angle enclosed by the clamping bodies can be at any acute angle, e.g. B. 30 °, 45 ° or obtuse, z. B. 135 °.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 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.
  • the guide bodies are frictionally fixed to one another.
  • 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.
  • the clamping bodies 7 are provided with chamfers 8.
  • 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.
