Definitions

  • the invention relates to a child's toy with a device for unlocking and locking a pivotally mounted actuating part of the child's toy, in particular a toy vehicle with a loading shovel held on two arms, which can be locked in a raised position on the vehicle body and, upon release of the lock due to gravity, into one lowered position moved.
  • Vehicles of this type are very playful for small children because they can use the loading shovel to transport sand or snow from one place to another, for example.
  • the loading shovel is usually moved to a lowered loading position at the point where, for example, a pile of sand is located, in which the shovel picks up sand, whereupon the loading shovel is raised and locked in this state. Now the load is transported to its destination, where it is released by means of a tilting mechanism that pivots the loading shovel in its raised position.
  • the present invention relates in particular to the device with which the loading shovel or the arms holding the loading shovel are locked in the raised position and unlocked for lowering if necessary.
  • the invention is also applicable to the locking and unlocking of other pivotally mounted actuating elements of children's toys, for example stationary crane arms or loading bucket arms, which can optionally be locked in a raised position or released from this position.
  • other pivotally mounted actuating elements of children's toys for example stationary crane arms or loading bucket arms, which can optionally be locked in a raised position or released from this position.
  • the invention is described below continuously using a children's play vehicle with a loading shovel.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a simpler device for unlocking and locking a pivotally mounted actuating part for a children's toy, in particular for the loading shovel of a toy vehicle, which is easy to use with one hand and large Reliability both releases the lock and performs a new lock.
  • a claw is pivotally attached to each of the two arms, which in the raised position of the arms engages behind a preferably rod-shaped holder which projects laterally from the vehicle body.
  • the two side brackets are jointly rotatably attached to the vehicle body and each have at least one, preferably a plurality of circumferentially distributed recesses into which a lug delimiting the opening of each claw can engage.
  • the locking can be released by rotating a single, selected holder, for which purpose rotary handles are expediently attached to the head end of the two holders.
  • the player can therefore either release the lock with the right or left hand, while with the other hand on the handle mentioned above, the released loading shovel descends to the ground in a controlled manner.
  • the release process is therefore triggered by a deliberate turning of the rotary handle, which largely prevents the triggering process from being caused unintentionally, which would otherwise be associated with a certain risk of an accident.
  • the recess or recesses of the holders can be depressions, e.g. around flat-shaped grooves, or it can be formed on the outside of the rod-shaped holder ribs, between each of which a recess remains, into which the nose of the claw engages, which is carried along when the holder is rotated in such a way that the holder is practically preferred unscrews approximately C-shaped inner contour of the claw.
  • the arrangement is preferably made such that the claw engages over the pin-like holder, so that the engagement is maintained solely by gravity.
  • a reverse arrangement would be considered if a corresponding spring force was used instead of gravity.
  • the two laterally projecting brackets are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner, ie they can be a one-piece axle.
  • the two brackets provided with depressions or depressions are fastened on a common axis which extends through the vehicle body.
  • the axis is expediently made of metal, while the brackets can be made of plastic and each have an elongated sleeve which can be pushed onto the lateral ends of the axis and can be integrated into the rotary handles already mentioned, which are expediently knurled at their edges or have a wave contour to make it easier for a child to turn.
  • the metal axis can have elongated ribs, which in correspondingly shaped grooves engage the bracket, which ensures that the two brackets are aligned and remain so that the longitudinal recesses or depressions are exactly aligned. This ensures a correct, simultaneous triggering of both claws.
  • the claws each have a curved guide surface on the outside leading to the nose, which, when the loading shovel or the arms connected to it swings back in the direction of the raised locking position, strikes the holder and is shaped in this way that it slides smoothly along the holder and thereby pivots the claw upwards so that the holder gets over the nose into the area of the opening of the claw.
  • the holder meets a stop which limits the opening of the claw on the side opposite the nose and which has such a position in relation to the pivot axis of the claw that the claw is pivoted in the closing direction, engaging behind the holder.
  • the claw When pivoting into the locking position, the claw is first raised while its guide surface slides over the holder until the holder gets into the opening area of the claw and hits the stop of the claw there, whereby the claw is swiveled immediately in the opposite direction, since the Line of action is located under the swivel axis of the claw. Since the sleeve now grips behind and also grips under the pin-shaped holder, the loading shovel is locked securely in the raised position.
  • the swivel angle of the claw is limited by stops and is relatively small, since the claw only needs little mobility for unlocking and locking. It is important that the claw meets with its guide surface on the rod-shaped holder, on which it slides smoothly over the holder while it is pivoted accordingly.
  • the two claws are expediently located on the back of the preferably L-shaped angled holding arms, approximately in the extension of the long leg of the holding arms leading to the loading shovel. In the locking position, these holding arms form an angle of approximately 45 ° with the horizontal, without, of course, the invention being restricted to this.
  • the pivot axis of the holding arms is below the pivot axis of the claws and the axis of rotation of the brackets, the latter being below the pivot axis of the claws.
  • the mechanism according to the invention for unlocking and locking a pivotably mounted actuating part is of very simple and robust design and is also very easy to use for small children. It is also characterized by great reliability both when unlocking and when locking.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show the area of the engine block of a children's play tractor which is only partially shown. Vehicles of this type are usually driven with a pedal crank.
  • the end sections of two substantially L-shaped holding arms 1 are pivotably seated on stub axles 2 which are fastened to the engine block.
  • the holding arms 1 carry at their free end a loading shovel, not shown in the figures, which can be tilted by means of a handle 3 via a mechanism which is not of interest here, in order to empty the loading shovel.
  • a claw 4 is attached to each of the L-shaped holding arms 1, which can grip around or reach behind a rod-shaped holder in order to lock the holding arms 1 in their raised position.
  • the claws 4 are pivoted to a limited extent, in such a way that the claws 4 can pivot upward from the position shown in FIG. 2, in which they run onto the holder with an outer guide surface 5 when the holding arms 1 are pivoted upward the bracket 5 enters the interior of the claw 4, which will be described in more detail below.
  • the brackets projecting on both sides consist of a metal axis 6 which runs through the engine block of the toy vehicle and onto which a sleeve 7 is pushed, which is connected in one piece to a rotary handle 8.
  • the sleeve 7 and the rotary handle 8 are made of plastic.
  • the metal axis 6 has integrally formed longitudinal ribs 9 on diametrically opposite sides, which serve for the rotationally fixed connection with the sleeve 7 and the rotary handle 8.
  • the sleeve 7 has a cut-open end region 10, through the opposite slots 11 of which the ribs 9 pass when the components of the holder are assembled.
  • Correspondingly shaped grooves are aligned with the slots 11 in the inner wall of the sleeve 7 and accommodate the ribs 9.
  • the sleeves 7 have, on the outside, distributed over the circumference, elongated depressions 12 in a flat trough shape, as shown in particular in FIG. 4B, which serve to release the locking of the claws 4, as will be described further below. It is important that in the assembled state of the axis 6 with the two sleeves 7, the opposing depressions 12 are aligned with one another, which is ensured by the longitudinal ribs 9 and the associated slots 11 and subsequent grooves. It is understood that the sleeves 7 are fastened to the metal axis 6 in a suitable manner with the rotary handle 8, so that they cannot be unintentionally removed from the axis.
  • the claws 4 shown in detail in FIGS. 5A and 5B have a trap 13, the inner contour of which is approximately C-shaped.
  • the entry opening 14 into the trap 13 is delimited by a nose 15 at the end facing away from the holding arm 1 and by a stop 16 at the opposite end.
  • the claws 4 On the outside, the claws 4 have a curved guide surface 20 which extends up to the nose 15.
  • the holding arms 1 are pivoted further upwards from the position shown in FIG. 2, the guide surfaces 20 of the claws 4 slide over the sleeves 7, while the claws 4 are pivoted upwards, until the sleeves 7 reach the area of the inlet opening 14 Trap 13 caught.
  • the stops 16 abut the sleeves 7, as a result of which the claws 4 are pivoted clockwise in the illustration in FIG. 2, so that they engage behind the sleeves 7. In this position, the holding arms 1 are reliably locked with the loading shovel in the raised position.
  • the lugs 15 rest against the sleeves 7 due to the torque of the holding arms. If one of the two rotary handles 8 is rotated counterclockwise in the illustration in FIG. 2, the claws 4 are pivoted upwards during this movement, since their lugs 15 each engage in one of the elongated depressions or depressions 12.
  • the shape of the lugs 15 and the depressions 12 is coordinated with one another in such a way that the lugs 15 are carried along during the rotation until the sleeves 7 have turned out of the interior of the claws 4.
  • the locking of the holding arms 1 is hereby released, so that they fall down with the loading shovel if the player would not control this movement in a controlled manner with the handle 3 or 17 provided for this purpose.
  • a weight body 19 is molded onto each of the claws 4, which additionally ensures that the claws 4 remain pivoted downward in the unloaded state.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the pivot axis 2 of the holding arm is arranged below the axis of rotation 18 of the rotary handle 8, the latter being below the pivot axis 21 of the claws 4.
