Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zur Steuerung der Geschwindigkeit eines elektrisch angetriebenen Spielfahrzeugs auf einer spurgeführten Rennbahn. Mittels einer von Hand betätigbaren Regeleinrichtung (1) kann die Geschwindigkeit des Spielfahrzeugs auf wenigstens zwei Geschwindigkeitsstufen eingestellt werden. Zur Einstellung der Höhe der ersten Geschwindigkeitsstufe als Bruchteil der zweiten Geschwindigkeitsstufe ist die Regeleinrichtung vorzugsweise programmierbar in der Weise, daß mittels der Steuereinrichtung (2) die Geschwindigkeit des Spielfahrzeugs zwischen einer Nullstellung und der ersten Geschwindigkeitsstufe einstellbar ist und nach Betätigen eines Selektionsschalters (7) die Geschwindigkeit des Fahrspielzeugs zwischen der Nullstellung und der zweiten Geschwindigkeitsstufe einstellbar ist. Die Erfindung erlaubt die Einstellung von Teilgeschwindigkeiten einer Rennspielbahn ohne Verwendung eines Transformators.

The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling the speed of an electrically driven toy vehicle on a track-guided racetrack. The speed of the toy vehicle can be set to at least two speed levels by means of a manually operated control device (1). To set the height of the first speed level as a fraction of the second speed level, the control device is preferably programmable in such a way that the speed of the toy vehicle can be set between a zero position and the first speed level by means of the control device (2) and after actuating a selection switch (7) The speed of the toy is adjustable between the zero position and the second speed level. The invention allows partial speeds of a racing track to be set without using a transformer.
