Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a play area with a roadway and at least one free and / or track-bound driving toy arranged thereon with an electric drive motor arranged in the chassis of the toy vehicle and a power source belonging to the toy vehicle, the roadway having a plurality of busbars which are arranged on the roadway and abut the plus or minus pole of a power supply device, current collectors arranged on the vehicle (6) contacting the busbars and a rechargeable current source being provided, the plus pole of which is connected to one current collector and the minus pole of which is connected to another current collector of the vehicle connected is.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a generic roadway route which ensures perfect electrical operation of the driving toys on the roadway with minimized constructional and / or manufacturing expenditure.
  • the invention enables the implementation of a play facility in which an electrically driven operation of the travel toys can be carried out using simple means to be carried out on the roadway.
  • the invention has the effect that when the sections of the carriageway provided with busbars are passed over, contacts are made with the pantographs of the vehicle, which at the same time cause charging of the vehicle's internal power source over the duration of these contacts.
  • the respective busbar is expediently detachably but firmly attached to the sections of the roadway. This is particularly advantageous if the carriageway is modularly constructed, for example, by a plurality of pluggable carriageway members. The conductor rails can then also be removed when dismantling the carriageway.
  • the busbars can expediently be firmly connected to the road in a self-adhesive manner.
  • a screw connection is also conceivable as a releasable connection.
  • busbars individually or together on a flexible carrier strip made of insulating material, for. B. to arrange a hard paper or a plastic film strip and by means of this carrier strip with the roadway to connect firmly or releasably.
  • the busbars can have gates which project laterally beyond the edge edges of the respective busbar.
  • These gates can also be expediently designed as connecting members for electrical conductors connected to the power supply device and the busbars.
  • busbar sections serving as start-up bodies are arranged upstream and / or downstream of the busbars at a short distance.
  • the busbars on the side facing the current collectors are provided with a support made of a material that is more noble than the busbar material.
  • a support can expediently be formed by copper, nickel or gold in particular can be applied galvanically to the conductor rail.
  • track grooves for guiding the driving toys to the conductor rails is also provided, with which guide pins on the driving toy come into effect.
  • track grooves it is also possible to form several conductor rail pairs parallel to one another on the roadway at a distance from the roadways.
  • a further embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the carriageway in the direction of travel has fixed busbars which extend transversely one behind the other at a distance and the busbars are connected to a power supply device in alternating polarity.
  • a rectifier arrangement between the positive pole and the one pantograph of the toy vehicle is switched on.
  • the pantographs on the toy vehicle are expediently offset from one another in the axial direction.
  • a Ni-Cd cell battery is to be used as the current source.
  • the roadway 1 of FIG. 1 is formed by a number of roadway link members 2 (FIG. 2).
  • the track section members 2 have pins 3 and pliers-like recesses 4 for their connection to one another, which embrace one another.
  • Edge parts 5 serve as lateral guide walls for driving toys 6 (FIG. 9).
  • the roadway 1 is provided with two band-shaped busbars 7 which firmly or releasably engage the roadway section members 2.
  • the axial length of the busbars 7 can be any.
  • the roadway 1 is expediently equipped with two busbars 7 at intervals of approximately 1.5 m.
  • the busbars can be fixed by clamping their ends to the track members 2 (Fig. 1).
  • the busbars 7 have side gates 8 Perforations 9, which can be reached through the clamping members (not shown).
  • the gates 8 also form connecting elements for electrical conductors 10, 11, which are connected to the positive or negative pole of a power supply device 12 (FIGS. 4 and 8), as a result of which a charging voltage is permanently applied to the busbars 7.
  • the driving toy 6 has an in-vehicle power source 13, e.g. B. on a Ni-Cd battery.
  • a drive motor 15 of the driving toy 6 is connected to the current source 13 in a manner known per se via a switch 14.
  • the driving toy 6 is provided with current collectors 16 which are arranged fixed to the chassis at the distance of the busbars 7 on the driving toy.
  • the current collectors 16 come into contact with the busbars 7 in a reproducible manner, as a result of which the current source 13 is charged for the duration of the contacts. In this way, the capacity of the power source 13 for uninterrupted rotary movements of the drive motor 15 can be increased periodically and the driving toy 6 is suitable as a long-distance runner on the roadway 1.
  • the busbars 7 In order to reduce mechanical loads on the busbars 7 by the pantographs 16, the busbars 7, as shown in FIG.
  • the upstream or downstream busbar sections 7 ⁇ also limit the formation of electrical sparking when the current collector 7 drives over the busbars 7.
  • the road 1 is suitable for the use of racing toy vehicles.
  • the roadway 1 has busbars 7 at intervals, which are connected to a power supply device 12 via electrical conductors 10, 11.
  • the lane 1 is two-lane.
  • 7 guide walls 18 are assigned to the busbars, which force-guide the toy vehicle 6 on the area of the busbars 7 of a single track.
  • Arcuate transition pieces 19 are connected upstream or downstream of the guide walls 18.
  • Fig. 10 shows a portion of a roadway from roadway parts 1 ⁇ , in which track grooves 20 are used for driving toys 6.
  • Guide pins (not shown) of the driving toy engage in the track grooves 20.
  • the track 1 is partially equipped on both sides of each track groove 20 with busbars 7 which are connected to a power supply device 12 via electrical conductors 10, 11.
  • a power supply device can have a transformer and a rectifier device in the usual way.
  • charging of the current source 13 can be achieved by contacting the busbars 7 with the current collectors 16 arranged on the vehicle toy 6.
  • the carriageway 1 is provided with busbars 7 which are formed transversely to the direction of travel.
  • the polarity of the busbars 7 is selected so that the negative and positive poles follow one another.
  • the busbars 7 abut a power supply device 12.
  • the current collectors 16 of the toy vehicle 6 are connected via electrical conductors 10, 11 with the interposition of a rectifier diode 21 to a chargeable current source 13 and this is connected via a switch 22 to a drive motor 15 of the toy vehicle 6.
  • Impulse-shaped charging of the current source 13 takes place over the duration of contacts between the current collectors 16 and the strip-shaped busbars 7.
  • busbars 7 are together on a carrier strip 23 made of a flexible material, for. B. hard paper applied and connectable to the carriageway 1 by fixing the carrier strip 23 to the carriageway 1 of the bus bars 7.
  • the carrier strip 23 can be fixed simply by gluing.
