Abstract

Elevator for toy parks, which being intended to raise toy vehicles on an elevator platform associated with a toy parking structure, is characterized in that it comprises a winding mechanism against the resistance of a spring of that mechanism that it is housed inside a housing at the top of vertical guides (3) to the parking structure (4), said mechanism having a transmission shaft (5) attached to a pulley (6) where a thread is wound (7). ), whose free end is connected to the elevator platform (8) coupled to the vertical guides (3) in combination with lateral recesses (16); all this in order that the platform ascends upwards by the action of the spring of the winding mechanism from a lower place positioned manually against the resistance of such a spring.

Description

Elevator for toy car parks.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to an elevator for toy car parks whose purpose is a mechanism Miniature car lift that is simple and economical, but attractive and safe for children to have their own movement, as if it were a motorized elevator.

Background of the invention

There are currently lifting devices for  electrically powered toy car parks, which although they usually work properly constitute an expensive accessory with frequent breakdowns with a very significant battery consumption.

Other elevators are manual, but being Realistic much less attractive to the buyer than those of more automated operation

Description of the invention

In order to achieve the objectives and avoid  drawbacks mentioned in the previous sections, the invention proposes an elevator for toy parking lots that characterized because it is determined from a mechanism of drag located on top of some vertical guides belonging to a parking structure, counting that mechanism of drag with a roller thread on a pulley that rotates in one direction against the resistance of a spring, so that one end of said wire is connected to a coupled elevator platform in the vertical guides, always below the mechanism of drag

In said elevator platform a Toy vehicle to raise it up.

The drive mechanism in rest position it tends to keep the thread fully wound, whereby the elevator is located at the top of the parking lot, being the child who against the drag mechanism resistance Go down the elevator to the floor you want to provide the vehicle entry, leaving it free then with what said elevator gently ascends the only one operated by said drag mechanism to the last floor or until it is stopped manually.

The lifting mechanism is housed within a housing fixed at the top of the vertical guides of the parking structure

Next to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same accompany some figures in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a  toy parking that incorporates the elevator of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows an exploded view of the elevator set for toy car parks.

Figure 3.- Shows a view of a mechanism of winding that is part of the elevator assembly of the invention.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the elevator for toy car parks comprises a roller mechanism 1 against the resistance of a spring which is part of said mechanism located inside a housing 2 fixed on top of vertical guides 3 that form part of a parking structure 4 of vehicles toy.

That spring mechanism 1 has an axis of transmission 5 that connects to a pulley 6 where it can be wound a thread 7, whose free end is attached to a platform of elevator 8 where a toy vehicle will be located to raise it from a lower position. To do this, said platform of elevator 8 has a few incoming 16 facing where fit the vertical guides 3.

The housing 2 comprises a support base 9 with a recessed 10 where the spring mechanism 1 and a window are housed intern 12 adjacent to said cage 2 where the pulley is located winding 6 of the corresponding thread 7.

In turn, there is a clamping guard 13 that covers the upper half of pulley 6 and part of the mechanism of drag 1, while being fixed to the base 9 by means of fins lateral 14 with the help of screws 15. Said protector ensures the immobilization of the mechanism and pulley.

Covering the whole set there is a body domed 11 that is fixed to base 9.

With this arrangement described, the mechanism of drag even in rest position always tends to keep the fully wound wire, whereby the lift is placed in the upper part of the parking lot, the child being the one against the drag mechanism resistance lowers the lift to the desired plant for the entry of the respective vehicle, leaving it free then with which said elevator ascends smoothly operated by said drive mechanism to the last floor or until it is stopped manually.

Claims (3)

1. Elevator for toy parking lots, which being intended to raise toy vehicles on an elevator platform associated with a toy parking structure, is characterized in that it comprises a winding mechanism against the resistance of a spring of that mechanism that it is housed inside a housing on top of some vertical guides (3) to the parking structure (4), said mechanism having a transmission shaft (5) attached to a pulley (6) where a thread (7) is wound ), whose free end is connected to the elevator platform (8) coupled to the vertical guides (3) in combination with lateral recesses (16); all this in order that the platform ascends upwards by the action of the spring of the winding mechanism from a lower place positioned manually against the resistance of such spring. 2. Elevator for toy car parks. according to claim 1, characterized in that the housing (2) comprises a support base (9) with a recess (10) and a centered window (12) where the winding mechanism (1) and pulley (6) are located, respectively, fixing on said base (9) a bulged body (11) that conceals the drive mechanism (1) and pulley (6) superiorly; all in order to avoid accidents. 3. Lift for toy car parks, according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it includes a clamping guard (13) that covers the upper half of the pulley (6) and part of the winding mechanism (1) fixing the guard ( 13) to the base (9) by means of side wings (14) with the help of screws (15) or the like; all in order to ensure the immobilization and clamping of the drive mechanism assembly (1) and pulley (6).
