Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Spielfahrzeug enthält ein in einem Chassis 2
befestigtes Paar von Antriebsrädern 6 sowie Vorderräder 7. Die Antriebsräder 6
werden von einem in Längsrichtung des Spielfahrzeugs angeordneten Motor 1
angetrieben. Das Spielfahrzeug fährt auf einer Rennbahn, welche eingelassene
ferromagnetische Stromleiter aufweist, zwischen denen eine Vertiefung
ausgebildet ist, in die ein Leitkiel 12 des Spielfahrzeugs eingreift und damit die

zwischen Motor 1 und Vorderrädern 7 eine im Querschnitt rechteckig und in
Längsschnitt dreieckförmig gebildete Aufnahme 5 auf, die einstückig mit dem
Chassis 2 ausgebildet ist. Diese verläuft in einem spitzen Winkel zum Chassis 2
bzw. der Fahrbahn nach vorne ansteigend.The toy vehicle shown in Fig. 1 has in its central area
between engine 1 and front wheels 7 a rectangular in cross section and in
Longitudinal section triangular-
Die Aufnahme 5 ist so ausgebildet, daß sie eine Haftplatte 4 aufnehmen
kann, die die Innenseite der Aufnahme 5 abdeckt. Die Haftplatte 4 ist
ferromagnetisch ausgeführt, so daß ein in die Aufnahme eingelegter Magnet 3
fest, jedoch verschieblich, an der Haftplatte 4 haftet. Der Dauermagnet 3, der als
rechteckförmiges Plättchen ausgeführt ist, läßt sich an der Haftplatte 4 zwischen
einer rückwärtigen Stellung und einer vorderen Stellung stufenlos verschieben.
Die Ziffer 3A zeigt den Dauermagneten 3 in vorderer Stellung. Der Abstand
zwischen dem Dauermagneten 3 und der Fahrbahn ist in seiner rückwärtigen
Stellung kleinstmöglich, während der Abstand des Dauermagneten in der
vorderen Stellung 3A den größten Abstand zur Fahrbahn aufweist. Da die
Anziehungskraft eines Magneten an einen ferromagnetischen Körper mit
zunehmenden Abstand exponentiell abnimmt, läßt sich auf diese Weise die
Stärke der Andruckkraft des Fahrzeugs an die Fahrbahn in einer großen
Variationsbreite einstellen.The

die Fahrbahn, sondern auch die Fahrcharakteristik, da durch eine Verschiebung
des Dauermagneten nach vorn die Festhaltekraft des Spielfahrzeugs von der
Fahrbahn nach vorn verlagert wird. Um eine feinere Abstimmung der
Fahrcharakteristika erzielen zu können, kann auch vorgesehen sein, den
rechteckförmigen Dauermagneten zweigeteilt auszubilden, so daß die
Andruckkraft auf eine größere Fläche der Fahrbahn verteilt wird. Durch relative
Verschiebung der Teile der Dauermagnete kann eine feine Einstellung der
Andruckkraft und der Fahrcharakteristik erreicht werden. By moving the
