Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toy car racing track according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the lane of a toy car racing track usually consists of one Variety of straight and curved road sections, which in different composition for training different Routes are composable.
  • a Guide horn to be provided in a along the entire length of the lane running recess engages and provides lateral guidance. The This means that vehicles are guided.
  • the leadership of the driving toys takes place in that these slide their respective lanes along a leading edge by their Steering is set so that it is always slightly towards the guide edge to be driven.
  • the vehicles can go through Change steering lock to the other guide edge.
  • the Driving toys have side engagement holder, which in a curve sections parallel to the inner guide edge and at a short distance from it Grip over the running holding rail.
  • the invention has for its object a toy car racing track to indicate with steerable driving toys, in which a breakout of the Vehicles in an inner lane in bends are effectively prevented, which is insensitive in gaming and is structurally simple.
  • Toy car racing track is provided according to the invention that one or more at least one of the curved lane sections between their lanes have an upright guide rail.
  • This training of the toy car race track ensures that the Driving toys in the inner lane in the area of those road sections, which have a guide rail, positively guided by a lateral guide while they are in the areas where there is no guide rail is, can be guided in the usual way on the guide edges, so that they still exist in areas where there is no guide rail is able to change lanes.
  • the guide rails can preferably be in one piece with the respective Road section be formed. In a special embodiment, they can also be designed to be pluggable onto the respective lane section in order to accommodate players make it possible to remove the forced guidance of the vehicles in curves. to Prevention of the vehicles breaking away from their leading edge is the However, driving speed in curves then significantly reduced.
  • Ascending to the start of the guide rail is preferably provided To provide the guide rail with a drive-on area, the height of which Starting from the road level, ascending to the height of the actual one The guide rail runs. A shortly before the start of the guide rail vehicle performing a lane change nonetheless on the Open the guide rail, however this does not damage the Vehicle, but for example for moderate dropping off the road.
  • the Distance of the guide rail from the inner guide edge less than that Distance between the guide rail and the outer guide edge is selected.
  • the distance between the guide rail and the inner guide edge is selected so that that a driving toy can pass the lane unhindered, but only receives little lateral clearance.
  • the width of the outer lane can on the other hand, can be chosen relatively freely, as driving toys that are traveling outside anyway be guided along the outer edge of the guide.
  • the Guide rail preferably over the normal to the road level an acute angle to the inside. This creates the holding effect the guide rail even with strong lateral acceleration forces further increased.
  • the driving toy has sliding buffers that alone slide along the guide edge or the guide rail.
  • the vehicle contains a front and rear slide buffer on each side.
  • the vehicles themselves correspond Have sliding areas, so that none of the model character of the driving toys disturbing unnatural accessories are present.
  • the engagement holder can be removed from driving toys of the known type are formed, can be provided for the toy car racing track according to the invention usable vehicles with a corresponding recording provided so that instead of the engagement holder without further constructive Changes sliding buffer can be used.
  • the engagement holder available in conventional vehicles can be provided with a sliding buffer hence those that can be used in known toy car racing tracks
  • Driving toys continue to be used through simple measures.
  • the toy car racing track according to the invention is mechanically simple built and insensitive in the running game. Nevertheless, in the Road sections that do not contain a guide rail, which is usually the straight sections of the lane are easy to change lanes.
  • the road section shown in Fig. 1 is a 90 ° curve, which in Course of the lane of a toy car racing track according to the invention can be used.
  • the road section 3 contains an outer lane 1 and one inner lane 2.
  • Each lane has a guide depression 12 or 21, can be used in the leadership of such toys that neither are suitable for changing lanes, still have self-steering.
  • the guide recesses 12, 21 are in each case parallel busbars arranged, the busbars 13, 14 and 15, 16 in the lane 1 and 17, 18 and 19, 20 in lane 2 the conductor rails required in pairs form.
  • the sliding buffers 10, 11 and 8, 9 attached to the vehicle prevent the vehicle itself along the guide rail 7 slides.
  • the sliding buffers are located in the front and rear area of the Vehicle. It can also be provided that only in the front area appropriate sliding buffers are provided.
  • the distance 25 between the inner guide edge 6 and the Guide rail 7 chosen so that only a slight offset can occur.
  • the distance 25 is in the curve area of a track between the inner Guide edge 6 and guide rail 7 smaller than the distance 24 between Guide rail 7 and outer guide edge 5.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a road section. It is clearly shown that the vehicle 4 between the inner Guide edge 6 and the guide rail 7, wherein a sliding buffer 11th slides along the guide rail 7.
  • Fig. 3 a cross-sectional view of a curve section is shown, the can be used for a steep curve.
  • the guide rail 7 is around articulated an angle 22 with respect to the normal to the guide rail to ensure an improved hold of the vehicle.
  • FIG. 4 shows a side view of a guide rail broken inner guide edge 6.
  • Two road sections 26, 27 are connected to each other via a connecting member 28.
