Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Längenverstellungseinrichtung für ein Spielzeugfahrzeug, insbesondere mit dem äußeren Erscheinungsbild eines Pneumatik- oder Hydraulikzylinders, zur Positionsverstellung von Gerätschaften, wie Ladeschaufeln, Planierschaufeln oder dergleichen.The invention is directed to a length adjustment device for a Toy vehicle, in particular with the external appearance of a Pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, for position adjustment of equipment, like loading buckets, leveling blades or the like.

Es gibt zahlreiche Spielzeug-Fahrzeugmodelle die darauf ausgelegt sind, möglichst detailgenau das Original wiederzugeben. Solche Modelle sind häufig optisch ansprechend, der Spielreiz ist aber meistens gering, weil sich die Spielmöglichkeiten darauf beschränken, das Fahrzeug über eine Oberfläche zu bewegen.There are numerous toy vehicle models designed to reproduce the original as exactly as possible. Such models are Often visually appealing, the game appeal is usually low, because the possibilities of playing are limited to the vehicle over one Surface to move.

Andererseits gibt es vor allem in Kunststofftechnik ausgeführte Spielzeug-Fahrzeuge, die zwar einerseits einen wirklichkeitsnahen Eindruck machen, die andererseits aber gestalterische Vereinfachungen und auf den Spielbetrieb zugeschnittene Veränderungen aufweisen, um auf diese Weise den Spielreiz zu erhöhen, indem Funktionen wie Beladen und Entladen, Planieren usw. realisierbar sind.On the other hand, there are mainly toy vehicles made in plastics technology, who on the one hand make a realistic impression, on the other hand, however, design simplifications and on the game operation have made specific changes in order to achieve this To increase game appeal by performing functions such as loading and unloading, leveling etc. are feasible.

Bei solchen Spielzeug-Fahrzeugen ist es wichtig, die technische Funktionalität in ein wirklichkeitsnahes Erscheinungsbild zu verpacken und eine sehr robuste Ausgestaltung zu erreichen.In such toy vehicles it is important to have the technical functionality to pack in a realistic appearance and a very to achieve a robust design.

Aus US-A-5 572 908 ist z.B. eine Längenverstellungseinrichtung bekannt.From US-A-5,572,908 e.g. a length adjustment device known.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Längenverstellungseinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, dass bei wirklichkeitsnahem äußeren Erscheinungsbild eine Längen-Relativbewegung möglich ist und die Endposition bzw. der Hub dieser Bewegung stufenlos einstellbar ist.On this basis, the invention is based on the object, a length adjustment device of the type mentioned above in such a way that with a realistic external appearance a length-relative movement is possible and the end position or the hub of this Movement is infinitely adjustable.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine äußere Zylinderhülse mit einer Verbindungseinrichtung zum Gehäuse des Spielzeug-Fahrzeugs, einen in der Zylinderhülse verschiebbar gelagerten Kolben mit einer Verbindungseinrichtung für die zu verstellende Gerätschaft, eine Gewindespindel mit einem Drehknopf, wobei die Gewindespindel in die Zylinderhülse und in einen Gewindeabschnitt am inneren Ende des Kolbens eingreift, und wobei die innere Stirnfläche des gegenüber der Gewindespindel verbreiterten Drehknopfes an der äußeren Stirnfläche der Zylinderhülse anliegt.The object is achieved by an outer cylinder sleeve with a connection device to the housing of the toy vehicle, a displaceably mounted in the cylinder sleeve piston with a connecting device for the equipment to be adjusted, a threaded spindle with a knob, the threaded spindle in the cylinder sleeve and engages a threaded portion at the inner end of the piston, and wherein the inner end face of the opposite to the threaded spindle widened knob on the outer face of the cylinder sleeve is applied.

Durch das Verdrehen des Drehknopfes wird das innere Ende der Gewindespindel mehr oder weniger weit in den Gewindeabschnitt des Kolbens eingeschraubt, wobei durch die Anlage der inneren Stirnfläche des Drehknopfes an der äußeren Stirnfläche der Zylinderhülse der Verstellweg verändert wird. Dementsprechend ist es auf diese Weise z.B. möglich, die Position einer Planierschaufel oder deren Schwenkbereich einzustellen.Turning the knob turns the inner end of the threaded spindle more or less screwed into the threaded portion of the piston, whereby by the plant the inner face of the rotary knob changed on the outer face of the cylinder sleeve of the adjustment becomes. Accordingly, it is in this way e.g. possible, the position to adjust a leveling bucket or its swivel range.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Kolben als Halbschale ausgebildet ist, wobei diese Halbschale im Bereich des Gewindeabschnitts eine Ausnehmung aufweist und der Gewindeabschnitt der Ausnehmung gegenüber als Überbrückung der Halbschale ausgebildet ist. Durch die Ausnehmung und die brückenartige Ausbildung des Gewindeabschnitts erhält die ganze Anordnung eines gewisse Elastizität und Nachgiebigkeit, die bei einer Blockierung ein Durchrutschen des Gewindes ermöglicht und auf diese Weise Beschädigungen verhindert. In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the piston is formed as a half-shell, said half-shell in the region of the threaded portion has a recess and the threaded portion of the Recess opposite is formed as a bridging of the half-shell. Through the recess and the bridge-like design of the threaded portion the whole arrangement gets a certain elasticity and flexibility, which allows a slipping of the thread during a blockage and prevents damage in this way.

Günstigerweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Gewindeabschnitt einen sich um ca. 70° in Umfangsrichtung erstreckenden, nach innen vorspringenden Gewindegang aufweist. Dies ermöglicht eine einfache Montage und begünstigt ein Durchrutschen im Überlastfall.Conveniently, it can be provided that the threaded portion a extending about 70 ° in the circumferential direction, inwardly projecting Has thread. This allows for easy installation and favors slipping in case of overload.

Die Gewindespindel kann mit Vorteil an ihrem inneren Enden einen verbreiterten Kragen aufweisen, der beim Herausschrauben der Gewindespindel aus dem Kolben an der inneren Stirnseite des Gewindeabschnitts zur Anlage kommt, also eine Art Anschlag bildet und dementsprechend eine unbeabsichtigte Demontage verhindert.The threaded spindle can advantageously widened at its inner ends Collar, which when unscrewing the threaded spindle from the piston at the inner end face of the threaded portion to Plant comes so forms a kind of stop and accordingly one accidental disassembly prevented.

Der Ringkragen kann in Richtung der Stirnseite des Gewindeabschnitts einen zur Längsachse um 90° verlaufende Stirnfläche aufweisen, die einen sicheren Anschlag gewährleistet und in der entgegengesetzten Richtung eine Abschrägung, wodurch das Einschieben bzw. Einrasten bei der Montage erleichtert wird.The annular collar can in the direction of the end face of the threaded portion have a longitudinal axis to the 90 ° extending end face, the one ensured safe stop and in the opposite direction a bevel, whereby the insertion or locking during assembly is relieved.

Eine in der Zeichnung dargestellte Längenverstellungseinrichtung 1 umfasst eine Zylinderhülse 2, eine in der Zylinderhülse 2 angeordnete Gewindespindel 3 mit einem Außengewinde 4, deren äußeres, in der Zeichnung linkes Ende mit einem Drehknopf 5 mit einem im Vergleich zur Gewindespindel größeren Durchmesser versehen ist.A length adjustment device 1 shown in the drawing comprises a cylinder sleeve 2, arranged in the cylinder sleeve 2 threaded spindle 3 with an external thread 4, the outer, in the drawing left end with a knob 5 with a compared to the threaded spindle larger diameter is provided.

Von der Außenseite der Zylinderhülse 2 erstreckt sich eine Verbindungseinrichtung 6 in Form eines geschlitzten Rastzapfens zur Verbindung mit einem Spielzeugfahrzeug weg.From the outside of the cylinder sleeve 2 extends a connecting device 6 in the form of a slotted detent pin for connection with A toy vehicle away.

Ein Kolben 7 ist im Querschnitt als Halbschale ausgebildet und weist an seinem freien äußeren Ende 8 eine Verbindungseinrichtung in Form eines Lagerauges 9 zu einer Gerätschaft, wie einer Planierschaufel, auf.A piston 7 is formed in cross-section as a half-shell and has its free outer end 8 a connecting device in the form of a Lagerauges 9 to a device, such as a grading bucket on.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 deutlich wird, ist das innere Ende 10 des Kolbens 7 mit einer Ausnehmung 11 versehen, wobei die Halbschale auf der der Ausnehmung 11 gegenüberliegenden Seite durch einen Gewindeabschnitt 12 mit einem inneren Gewindegang 13 überbrückt wird.As can be seen in particular from Fig. 2, the inner end 10 of the piston 7 provided with a recess 11, wherein the half-shell on the the recess 11 opposite side by a threaded portion 12 is bridged with an inner thread 13.

Die Gewindespindel 3 greift mit ihrem inneren Ende 14 in diesen Gewindeabschnitt 12 ein, d.h. der innen vorspringende Gewindegang 13 greift in das Innengewinde 4 der Gewindespindel 3 ein.The threaded spindle 3 engages with its inner end 14 in this threaded portion 12 on, i. the inwardly projecting thread 13 engages the internal thread 4 of the threaded spindle 3 a.

Am inneren Ende der Gewindespindel 3 ist ein Ringkragen 15 ausgebildet, der eine gegenüber der Längsachse um 90° verlaufende erste Stirnfläche 16 und eine abgeschrägte äußere Stirnfläche 17 aufweist, die eine leichte Montage durch Einrasten ermöglicht. At the inner end of the threaded spindle 3, an annular collar 15 is formed, the one opposite the longitudinal axis by 90 ° extending first end face 16 and a chamfered outer end face 17 having a slight Mounting by snapping allows.

Beim vollständigen Herausschrauben der Gewindespindel 3 gelangt die Stirnfläche 16 zur Anlage gegen die Stirnfläche 18 des brückenartigen Gewindeabschnitts 12, so dass ein unbeabsichtigtes vollständiges Herausdrehen vermieden wird.When completely unscrewing the threaded spindle 3 passes End face 16 for abutment against the end face 18 of the bridge-like threaded portion 12, allowing unintentional complete unscrewing is avoided.

In ähnlicher Weise liegt die innere Stirnseite 19 des Drehknopfes 5 an der äußeren Stirnseite 20 der Zylinderhülse 2 an. Durch Stege an der Innenseite der Zylinderhülse 2 ist der halbschalenartige Kolben 7 über seine an den inneren Stegen anliegenden Oberkanten gegen Verdrehen gesichert, so dass eine Betätigung des Drehknopfes dazu führt, dass der Kolben relativ zur Zylinderhülse ausgefahren oder eingefahren wird.Similarly, the inner end face 19 of the knob 5 is located at the outer end 20 of the cylinder sleeve 2 at. By webs on the inside the cylinder sleeve 2 is the half-shell-like piston 7 via its on the inner webs adjacent upper edges secured against rotation, so that an actuation of the knob causes the piston relative to Cylinder sleeve is extended or retracted.

In Fig. 3 und 4 ist der Überlastfall dargestellt, wo der Drehknopf betätigt wird, jedoch aufgrund einer Blockierung der zu betätigenden Gerätschaft ein Verstellen nicht möglich ist. Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung kann dann das Außengewinde 4 sich relativ zu dem Gewindegang 13 des Gewindeabschnitts 12 anheben, wodurch ein Durchrutschen ermöglicht und eine Beschädigung vermieden wird.In Fig. 3 and 4, the overload case is shown where the knob is operated but due to a blockage of the equipment to be operated an adjustment is not possible. Due to the inventive design can then the external thread 4 relative to the thread 13 of the threaded portion 12 lift, which allows slipping and damage is avoided.
