Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a miniature toy car which can be transformed and harnessed at leisure.
  • the invention which aims to fill this gap, relates to a miniature toy car which is easily and quickly transformable at leisure, thus giving free rein to the creative imagination of the child.
  • This toy car is fitted with bumpers that protrude generously at the front and rear of the car, and elongated running boards that likewise protrude widely on each side of the car.
  • On the upper face of these bumpers and these running boards are provided quick fixing points, all identical, which are suitable for receiving accessories or bodywork elements.
  • Other identical quick attachment points are provided at other points of the chassis, and possibly of the wheels and bumpers, of the small car, as well as on certain accessories and / or removable body elements, to allow the child also use the interchangeability of accessories.
  • these quick attachment points are constituted by straight and elongated housings.
  • rectilinear housings are either isolated, or grouped in pairs, each forming either a Greek cross, an L, a T, or other figure at right angles.
  • the accessories and bodywork elements are equipped with projections, preferably forming clips, capable of being fitted very tightly into these elongated rectilinear housings to ensure the removable fixing of these accessories and bodywork elements. More generally, they are equipped with members capable of cooperating with the aforementioned quick attachment points.
  • these projections which are made of a semi-rigid material, have an outer profile substantially in the form of a circle, either total or partial, but greater than a semicircle, the diameter of the circle being slightly greater than the length of the rectilinear housing. corresponding, the elasticity of said material then allowing the insertion of the projection with passage of a "hard point" and the entry force of this projection being equal, due to its rounded shape on either side of the hard point, to its exit force.
  • this miniature toy car 1 is a car with exposed bodywork. It is equipped with bumpers, respectively front 2 and rear 3, which are much larger than the usual bumpers: as shown, they overflow generously at the front and rear of the car. Likewise, this car is equipped with large running boards 4, which are very elongated and which protrude widely on each side of the vehicle.
  • Both the bumpers 2,3 and the running boards 4 are in fact wide enough for their upper faces 5,6,7 to form a flat surface of sufficient dimensions to carry the mouths of elongated rectilinear housings 8, all identical. These housings 8 are drilled in the bumpers 2,3 and the running boards 4, which they pass through. Their section is rectangular.
  • housings 8, 9 are intended to serve as quick attachment points for accessories, such as a headlight 14, an antenna 15, or a container 16, or bodywork elements, such as a rear hood 17 or a windshield 18.
  • housings 8 and 9 are isolated, that is to say distant from each other.
  • double housings 19, in the form of a Greek cross are also provided at various points on the chassis and various accessories and bodywork elements: there is one outside of each door 20 , one in the center of the grille 13, two on the hood 11, one in the center of the rear platform 10, one on the axis of each wheel 21, and three on the top of the hood 17.
  • Each double housing is formed by two housing identical to housing 8 or 9, but crossed. Instead of being mated to form a Greek cross, they could also be mated by forming another figure where they are at right angles, an L or a T for example.
  • the aforementioned housings are designed to receive very closely corresponding projections 22, in the form of a portion of ring forming clips, with which the aforementioned accessories and bodywork elements are consequently fitted.
  • One of these plug-in projections 22, in this case that which equips the antenna 15, is shown in an enlarged view in FIGS. 2 and 3 to which reference will now be made.
  • This plug-in projection 22 is made of semi-rigid plastic. It differs from the usual nipples or clips by the fact that its external profile has the shape of three-quarters of a circle, of diameter D very slightly greater than the length L of the corresponding rectilinear housing. The elasticity of the material constituting the partial ring 22 then allows plugging it into the corresponding slot, passing a "hard point". Because of the circular shape of this ring, the force of entry of the projection 22 into its housing is equal to the force of exit of the latter out of this same housing.
  • the projection 22 may have a shape other than the annular shape, while retaining substantially the same periphery 23.
  • FIG. 4 shows a projection 22 which consists of two solid parts 24 separated by a slot 25.
  • a joint plane 26 is provided on the external face 23. This joint plane 26 coincides with that of the projection 22; it could also be parallel to the latter.
  • This miniature toy vehicle 1 can be equipped with a host of accessories or bodywork elements, which may themselves receive other accessories, or even constitute connecting elements with another toy car of the same kind.
  • accessories or bodywork elements which may themselves receive other accessories, or even constitute connecting elements with another toy car of the same kind.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show a tilting car-reversing pallet 29, which is intended to be fixed on the front plate 12 by means of a projection 22 and two cylindrical guides 27 which are both capable of being inserted in holes 28 (Figure 1) provided for this purpose on the plate 12.
  • This accessory 29 comprises a fixed part 30, in the shape of a U. On the free ends of the two branches of the U, two articulation points 31 are provided for a tilting pallet 32, the upper part 33 of which serves as a support lever and the lower part 34 is L-shaped, the horizontal branch of which forms a fork.
  • Figures 7 and 8 show a roof rack 36, which is itself provided with six double housings 19. On the lower part of this gallery are provided two projections which are capable of fitting into two of the housings 19 located on the convertible top 17 (figure 1).
  • FIG. 9 represents a winch 37 which is fixed on the plate 12 (FIG. 1) in the same way as the above-mentioned "car reverser" 29.
  • FIG. 10 shows a front hood 38 which is fixed in place of the windshield 18 (FIG. 1).
  • a double or cruciform housing 39 is provided on the top of this hood to place an accessory there, such as the rotating beacon 40 represents FIG. 11, the loudspeaker 41 represented FIG. 12, the road sign 42 represented FIG. 13, or the police light 45 represented FIG. 15.
  • Figure 14 shows an exterior mirror 43, which is fixed for example on the side of the cover 11 ( Figure 1).
  • FIG. 16 shows a standing headlight 44, which can for example be fixed on the running board 4, and FIG. 17 represents a row of headlights 46, capable of being mounted on the face 5 of the front bumper 2.
  • the invention is of course not limited to the embodiment which has just been described.
  • the base car 1 could be very different from that shown, and a host of other accessories, peaceful or warlike, as well as bodywork elements, could be envisaged to adapt to this toy car.
  • the accommodations could all be grouped in pairs, in the shape of a Greek cross, L, T, or other.
  • the housings could be of other shapes, or be replaced by projections, such as nipples. In the latter case, the accessories or bodywork elements would themselves comprise complementary housings for rapid fixing of these projections.
