Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toy vehicle in the form of a mobile excavator.
  • the toy vehicle has a chassis on which a rotatable seat is arranged, which is preferably mounted on a vertical tube which is rotatably mounted on the chassis.
  • a boom of the excavator is fixedly connected, to which an end portion of an excavator arm is pivotally articulated about a horizontal axis, which is provided with a handle with which the excavator from a game person can be raised and lowered.
  • the other end of the excavator arm is connected to a pivotable about a horizontal axis blade arm, which holds a likewise pivotable about a horizontal axis blade.
  • the paddle arm extends beyond the articulated connection with the excavator arm and is articulated at its free end to a slidably mounted rod, the other end of which is attached to a pivotal lever which in turn is pivotally coupled to the excavator arm and with which the toy person Bucket arm and the bucket can pivot.
  • a player handles the excavator with both hands, with one hand on the rigidly connected to the excavator, preferably bow-shaped handle to extend the excavator and thus the blade and the blade forward or pull back, and with the other hand on the pivoting Lever to advance the bucket arm with the bucket relative to the excavator arm or pull back relative thereto.
  • the blade can be loaded, for example, with sand or stones, creating a considerable torque that loads the excavator arm to the ground. This entails a considerable risk of injury, especially if it is the person sitting on the seat and in the area of Excavator's other remaining players are small children. In addition, considerable effort may be required to lift the loaded-arm excavator arm and retract to the raised starting position to travel with the toy vehicle, for example, to an unloading location.
  • the DE 21 01568 A1 discloses a toy excavator in which a torsion spring is tensioned between the boom and the excavator arm, which biases the excavator arm into a raised position and is increasingly tensioned as the excavator arm is lowered.
  • the torsion spring is disposed on a pin forming the horizontal pivot axis of the vane arm, surrounding the pin at a distance.
  • the US 3911615 A discloses a toy loader having a loading bucket with a pivotable blade bottom. This blade bottom is releasably locked in the closed position by the action of a spring by the spring comprising a pivot axis of the loading blade presses the blade bottom against a locking strip on the frame. As a result, a cam, which is connected to the blade bottom, abuts against the protruding locking strip. If the load from the loading shovel is too large, this lock is released by pushing back a sleeve side, the cam slides over the locking bar.
  • DE 10 2008 007 894 A1 discloses a child excavator in which a locking plate is hinged to the excavator arm to lock a raised position of the excavator arm by engaging a hook-shaped lug in a recess of the boom.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a toy vehicle in the form of a mobile excavator, in which the handling is facilitated, so that the play value of the excavator is increased, and are met in the high safety requirements of the toy vehicle.
  • the invention provides that between the boom and the excavator arm of the toy vehicle, a spring device is tensioned, which biases the excavator arm in a raised position and which is increasingly stretched when lowering the excavator.
  • This spring device is a coil spring having two protruding ends, one end of the spring being held in the boom and the other end held in the excavator arm.
  • the boom and the excavator are preferably formed by U-profiles, wherein the two protruding ends of the coil spring are prestressed to the middle upper wall of the U-profiles.
  • the coil spring is seated on a bearing body, which rests on the inside of the coil spring and the peripheral wall of the coil spring is elastically radially pressed together, so that the coil spring during pivoting of the excavator from their also pivoted ends can be radially pressed together or expanded.
  • a hub is mounted, which receives a horizontal axis, with which the boom and the excavator are pivotally connected. This axis can be formed by a threaded bolt and an associated nut.
  • the coil spring is arranged in the prestressed state on the pivot axis in which its two held in the excavator arm and the boom end bias the excavator arm in the raised, fixed by a stop initial position.
  • the coil spring becomes increasingly tensioned and prevents the bucket from striking the ground abruptly by gravity by braking the forward motion by spring force. Because the downward torque increases during extension of the linkage and at the same time the spring force increases, approximately a state of equilibrium is possible, so that the movement of the excavator can be done with a small amount of force.
  • the spring force also facilitates the lifting of a loaded bucket.
  • the toy vehicle For safety of the toy vehicle also contributes that can be arranged on both lateral halves of the coil spring cover rings, each having a slot which is penetrated by the associated protruding end of the coil spring and allows the rotational movement of the protruding end.
  • the two end faces of the coil spring may be covered by cover plates, which are non-rotatably mounted on the boom, so that a person on the coil spring can not hurt.
  • a safety hook is attached to the excavator arm, which covers the cover rings of the coil spring above and can lock the raised position of the excavator arm by engaging in a recess of the boom.
  • the bearing body which is arranged within the coil spring, may have a peripheral wall of separate peripheral portions which are held by webs which are fixed to the hub.
  • the bearing body is in this case elastically pressed together, that the distance between the peripheral portions of each other is elastically heraberbar.
  • the boom, the excavator arm, the blade arm and the blade are formed of metal, as well as the vertical tube which is rotatably mounted in a mounted on the chassis sleeve and is fixedly connected to the boom.
  • the chassis of the toy vehicle has two crawler belts, which are arranged on both sides of the seat and are guided by free-running rollers, and that the seat is arranged above the crawler belts so that a seated player can drive the caterpillars with their feet , This promotes the skill of the player in handling the excavator.
  • the child excavator includes a chassis 1, the base body 2 is provided with four pairs of free-wheeling wheels 3, are guided by the crawler belts 4, which are drivable by the feet of a person sitting on a seat 5 in both directions.
  • a sleeve 6 is fixed, in which a vertical tube 7 is inserted from metal, which is rotatably seated in the sleeve 6.
  • the tube 7 is welded to a boom 8, which is also made of metal.
  • the plastic seat 5 is fixed to the rear end portion above the pipe 7 on the boom 8 so that the seat 5 and the boom 8 are rotatable together with the pipe 7 about a vertical axis.
  • the boom 8 has a cross-sectionally a U-shape with two lateral webs 9 and a central web 10, wherein projecting from the lateral webs 9 two end portions 11 beyond the central web 10 also.
  • the end portions 11 have edges in the form of a circular section.
  • An angled excavator arm 12 is articulated to the boom 8, which also has a cross-sectionally U-shape with side walls 13 and a central web 14, projecting beyond the end portions 15 of the side walls 13 also.
  • the excavator arm 12 is pivotally connected at its end to a bucket arm 16 at an intermediate position of the bucket arm 16.
  • the vane arm 16 is pivotally connected at one end to an angular lug 17 of a vane 18.
  • the other arm 19 of the angled lug 17 is pivotally connected via a Z-shaped bar 20 to an intermediate position 21 of the excavator arm 12 at a small distance from the hinge 22.
  • the Z-shaped rod 20 passes through a slot 23 in the blade arm 16, which limits the forced by the Z-shaped rod 20 during pivoting of the excavator 16 tilting movement of the blade 18.
  • the Z-shaped rod 20 is fixedly connected at 24 to the arm 19 of the angular projection 17.
