Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine gelenkige Verbindung für ein Spielzeug mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an articulated connection for a toy with the Features of the preamble of claim 1.

Die Erfindung ist beispielsweise dafür vorgesehen, in einem Spielzeugmodellkarussell Sitze in alle Richtungen schwenkbar mit Tragarmen zu verbinden. In der Technik sind dafür Kugelgelenke oder Kreuzgelenke bekannt, deren Verwendung in Spielzeugmodellen jedoch zu teuer und zu aufwendig ist.The invention is intended, for example, in one Toy model carousel seats swiveling in all directions with support arms connect. Ball joints or universal joints are known in the art for this, however, their use in toy models is too expensive and too complex.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine für Spielzeugmodelle geeignete, einfache und preisgünstige gelenkige Verbindung vorzuschlagen.The invention is therefore based on the object, one for toy models propose suitable, simple and inexpensive articulated connection.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung weist einen flexiblen Schlauch auf, dessen Enden auf zwei Stäbe aufgeschoben sind und der die beiden Stäbe in alle Richtungen schwenkbar miteinander verbindet. Als besonders geeignet hat sich beispielsweise der Ventilschlauch einfacher Fahrradventile herausgestellt. Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, dass die gelenkige Verbindung einfach und preisgünstig ist und sich problemlos durch Kinder verwenden lässt. Festigkeit und Stabilität der Verbindung ist für den vorgesehenen Verwendungszweck ausreichend. Die Verbindung ist einfach herstellbar und wieder lösbar. Weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen gelenkigen Verbindung ist deren großer, an sich nicht begrenzter Schwenkwinkel von 360° oder mehr. Im Vergleich dazu ermöglichen technische, gelenkige Verbindungen wie ein Kugelgelenk oder ein Kreuzgelenk Schwenkwinkel bis etwa 180°.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 solved. The connection according to the invention has a flexible hose, the ends of which are pushed onto two rods and the two rods in connects all directions with each other. Has been particularly suitable for example, the valve hose of simple bicycle valves turned out. The invention has the advantage that the articulated connection is simple and is inexpensive and can be easily used by children. Strength and Stability of the connection is for the intended purpose sufficient. The connection is easy to establish and detach again. Another The advantage of the articulated connection according to the invention is its great per se unlimited swivel angle of 360 ° or more. In comparison enable technical, articulated connections such as a ball joint or a Universal joint swivel angle up to approximately 180 °.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt einen Ausschnitt eines Spielzeugmodellkarussells mit einer erfindungsgemäßen, gelenkigen Verbindung.The invention is illustrated below with the aid of one in the drawing Embodiment explained in more detail. The only figure shows a section of a toy model carousel with an articulated according to the invention Connection.

Die Zeichnung zeigt eine aus Holz gefertigte Nabe 10, die auf eine Motorwelle 12 eines im Übrigen nicht dargestellten Elektromotors aufgesetzt ist. Die Nabe 10 weist eine umlaufende Nut 14 auf, in die eine Anzahl, erste, Holzstäbe 16 klemmend gesteckt sind. Die ersten Holzstäbe 16 können zusätzlich durch Kleben in der Nut 14 fixiert sein. Die ersten Holzstäbe 16, von denen in der Zeichnung nur einer dargestellt ist, stehen radial von der Nabe 10 nach außen und bilden Tragarme für nicht gezeichnete Sitze des im Übrigen nicht dargestellten Spielzeugmodellkarussells. Auf jeden Holzstab 16 ist ein Ende eines flexiblen Schlauchs 18 aufgeschoben. Der Schlauch 18 kann beispielsweise aus Gummi oder Kunststoff bestehen, insbesondere handelt es sich um einen Ventilschlauch eines einfachen Fahrradventils. Das andere Ende des Schlauchs 18 ist auf einen weiteren, nachfolgend zweiten genannten Holzstab 20 aufgeschoben. Der Schlauch 18 bildet eine gelenkige Verbindung, die die beiden Holzstäbe 16, 20 in alle Richtungen schwenkbar miteinander verbindet, der zweite Holzstab 20 hängt vom ersten Holzstab 16 nach unten. Bei drehendem Antrieb der Nabe 10 verschwenkt eine Fliehkraft den zweiten Holzstab 20 nach außen. An einem herabhängenden Ende des zweiten Holzstabs 20 ist ein in der Zeichnung nicht sichtbarer Sitz des Spielzeugmodellkarussells angebracht. Die schwenkbare Verbindung ist einfach durch Aufschieben der beiden Enden des Schlauchs 18 auf die beiden Holzstäbe 16, 20 herstellbar und durch Abziehen des Schlauchs 18 lösbar.The drawing shows a hub 10 made of wood, which on a motor shaft 12th an electric motor, not shown, is attached. The hub 10 has a circumferential groove 14 into which a number, first, wooden rods 16 are stuck. The first wooden rods 16 can also by Glue to be fixed in the groove 14. The first wooden sticks 16, of which in the Drawing only one is shown, are radially from the hub 10 to the outside and do not form support arms for seats not shown illustrated model carousels. There is an end to each wooden stick 16 of a flexible hose 18 pushed on. The hose 18 can consist of rubber or plastic, for example a valve tube of a simple bicycle valve. The other end of the hose 18 is on another, hereinafter referred to as the second Wooden stick 20 pushed on. The hose 18 forms an articulated connection, the two wooden rods 16, 20 are pivotable with one another in all directions connects, the second wooden stick 20 hangs down from the first wooden stick 16. at rotating drive of the hub 10, a centrifugal force pivots the second Wooden stick 20 to the outside. At a drooping end of the second Wooden stick 20 is a seat of the not visible in the drawing Toy model carousels attached. The swivel connection is simple by pushing the two ends of the hose 18 onto the two wooden rods 16, 20 producible and detachable by pulling off the hose 18.
