Definitions
- the present invention relates to model vehicles automobiles and, in particular, specially reduced models designed for professional sellers of motor vehicles, and their customers.
- Model cars used as toys or collectibles, are usually made by assembling several parts, notably the chassis and bodywork, this by riveting or by snap-fastening. In all cases, it is an assembly non-removable, imposed by the safety standards that apply to toys for young children. As a result, such models cannot have interchangeable parts, such as a modifiable interior equipment for example with regard to its color.
- the interchangeable interior elements are here multiple and include the dashboard and seats separate, not related to each other.
- the evolution of the the automobile, in recent years, has brought manufacturers automobiles to an increasingly advanced standardization. So that formerly the buyer could choose down to the smallest detail (for example up to the color of the steering wheel), with very numerous, vehicle interiors are now strongly standardized, the possibilities offered for a given type of vehicle being in limited number. For example, for a certain recent French vehicle, the buyer only has the choice between five different colors, common to each time at seats and door fittings.
- the present invention aims to provide a convenient and fun solution allowing the potential buyer view different possible combinations of colors and / or appearance parts of vehicles, to facilitate their choice, the proposed solution rationally grouping all the interchangeable elements, and allowing quick and easy assembly and disassembly, without tools, for the replacement of interchangeable elements.
- the inner block Being trapped between the chassis and the assembled body on this chassis, the inner block does not really require resources of fixation.
- means are still advantageously provided for positioning the interchangeable inner block, relative to the chassis, these means being constituted by at least two lugs making protruding above the chassis, in its central part and cooperating with at at least two corresponding holes, made in the lower part of the block inside.
- the invention is based on the principle of a model reduced for professional use, intended for adult users, which remains easily removable to allow the change of an interior block, which includes all the elements that the manufacturer of the actual vehicle has decided to make it variable, which reduces the total number of elements, and simplifies assembly and disassembly operations.
- Ways of removable assembly offered are simple, in their structure and use, and they do not require any tools for their introduction or withdrawal. Can be visually confused with plates of registration, these means can remain very discreet, and do not alter the appearance of the vehicle.
- Such a reduced model allows the seller to make, at the place of sale, a realistic presentation of the available color combinations, without having all the real models of vehicles. It is also possible to entrust the client with a box, including several blocks interchangeable interiors, the customer can take the whole home to make your choice calmly. By separating the chassis from the body, the customer will have access to the interior unit and may replace it with a block of identical shape but in another color, the bodywork being it also possibly interchangeable. Thus, the customer will be able to determine which body color is preferred, and with which interior.
- the model vehicle automobile consists of three main parts, separable from each other others and interchangeable, which are respectively a chassis 1, with its front wheels 2 and its rear wheels 3, a body 4 and an interior block 5 (the latter being shown alone in FIG. 2).
- the chassis 1 comprises, at front and rear, respectively a front tab 6 facing the high and provided with a transverse slot 7, and a rear leg 8 turned upwards and also provided with a transverse slot 9.
- the body 4 painted (or dyed in the mass) in a given color, has a slot 10 at the front which corresponds to slot 7 of the front tab of chassis 1, and it has another slot at the rear transverse 11 (see FIG. 4) which corresponds to the slot 9 of the tab rear 8 of chassis 1.
- the inner block 5 Under the inner block 5 are arranged symmetrically two holes 18 (see Figure 2), while two positioning pins 19 correspondents protrude above the chassis 1, in the central part of it.
- the inner block 5 can thus be positioned on the chassis 1, between the front wheels 2 and the rear wheels 3.
- the scale model still includes two connecting pieces removable 20 and 21, provided to ensure the removable assembly of the body 4 on the chassis 1.
- Each connecting piece 20 or 21 is constituted by a rectangular plate 22, integral with an element of grip and stop 22 in the form of a pallet, extending perpendicular to the wafer 22 and connecting to an edge thereof.
- the width of the plates 22 is equal to the length of the slots 7, 9, 10 and 11.
- the body 4 For the assembly of the body 4, it is placed on the chassis 1, so as to trap the inner block 5 between this body and chassis 1.
- the front slot 10 of the body 4 then comes in correspondence with the slot 7 of the front tab 6 of the chassis 1.
- the rear slot 11 of the body 4 comes into correspondence with the slot 9 of the rear dropout 8 of the chassis 1.
- a connecting piece 20 is introduced, at the front, through slots 7 and 10 put in correspondence - see figure 3, arrow F.
- the other connecting piece 21 is introduced from the outside, at the rear, through other slots 9 and 11 matched (see Figure 4).
- the correct positioning of the bodywork 4 on the chassis 1, bringing the slots into correspondence, can be facilitated by means of suitable guides, such as internal ribs 24 of the body 4 (see figure 4).
- the two connecting pieces 20 and 21 thus ensure the assembly of the body 4 on the chassis 1, also maintaining the interior block 5 in place, this assembly being removable because the connecting parts 20 and 21 act by elasticity and / or by friction.
- disassembly is carried out by removing the two connecting pieces 20 and 21, these pieces being gripped using a nail by their respective pallets 23, used as a gripping element.
- the body 4 being separated from the chassis 1, it becomes easy to replace the interior block 5 with a another interior block of the same conformation, but of another color.
- the user can thus simulate all the color options offered by an automobile manufacturer, for a given type of vehicle.
- the model, object of the present invention thus constitutes a "tool" for the car manufacturers' sales networks, making it easier for the customer to choose the body colors 4 and the passenger compartment.
- the model can be, naturally, comes with a whole series of interior blocks 5 of the same configuration, but in different colors, which can be mounted selectively on the same chassis 1.
- Several bodies 4, of colors or separate types, can also be provided for the same chassis 1.
