Description

Bypass device for electric vehicles toy.

Bypass device for electric vehicles of toy, of the type comprising guide means that define a given path with a fork, an electric vehicle with a guide follower and a means of control and a means of electric vehicle power, characterized in that the guide follower is retractable and because it comprises within the fork an obstacle located in the path of the guide follower, that when the guide follower is retracted as it passes over the obstacle continues its route and that when the guide follower is deployed contact the obstacle that makes the route vary.

Background of the invention

The requesting company itself is known in the sector to develop different inventions related to electric vehicles, including some related to the changes of track.

Thus, International Patent No. WO04037365, "Bypass system for guiding means in a set of vehicles ", of the year 2002, which refers to the diversion system for guiding means in a vehicle set, said game being of the type comprising a path determined by guide means and at least one vehicle provided with a guide follower adapted to said guiding means for following said trajectory, comprising: less a fork in said guide means from which some first and second branches; a needle mounted on said fork of so that it can move between a first position, in which said vehicle guide follower is forced to follow by said first branch, and a second position, in which the guide follower he is forced to follow by the second branch; characterized because comprises: an arm attached to said needle and provided with an end of contact located upstream of said needle, said being contact end capable of being pushed when passing the vehicle by a retractable mobile member associated with the vehicle before the guide follower reach the needle to change the needle of said first position to said second position, or vice versa, during a enough time for the guide follower to be forced to follow for the selected final position, a system being incorporated of control to remotely activate said mobile member of the vehicle.

The Spanish Utility Model is also known No. 0276509, "Tracking device for tracks and tracks toy ", of the year 1984, on behalf of SERVICIOS E INDUSTRIAS DEL JUGUETE, S.A., which refers to an incarcerating device for toy tracks and tracks, characterized in that at least one of the sections of track that form the circuit, has incorporated in solidarity a section of diversion, whose free end widens in divergence and with it the partitions that laterally limit the rolling surface of mobile phones, forming a mouthpiece or entrance that has its beveled free edge to facilitate the passage of the mobiles to the circuit.

Finally, it is also worth mentioning the Model of Spanish Utility No. 0205934 "Change for toy tracks", a name of TOMY COMPANY, INC., of the year 1974, which refers to a change for toy tracks, characterized essentially because in the bottom of the raceway that forms the track, is at least one retractable partition, operable at will by a manual control, so that in its emergent position with respect to the background of the lane, causes the diversion of the vehicle through it circulating, to impact an appendix arranged at the bottom of the latter against the mentioned tabique.

Brief Description of the Invention

The present invention is an improvement in the sector of diverting devices for electric vehicles, especially For young children.

As can be seen in the background of the invention, diversion devices currently in existence they need a mechanical device on the track itself that deflects a side or other the electric vehicle.

These devices cannot be used, then, for young children, due to the danger involved they can introduce their fingers in these detours.

That is why track devices for electric toy vehicles intended for young children not incorporate deviations that are not forced by the design of the circuit, that is, children cannot change routes to their will, but it is marked by the circuit itself.

The inventor has developed a new device of detours that does not include any mechanical mechanism in the own track that deflects the electric vehicle on one side or the other toy.

At the fork there is at least one obstacle that leads to a different route than the one electric vehicle

If the user of the electric vehicle wishes change route and choose the one that marks the obstacle, give an order through the control knobs to the electric vehicle so that lower the guide follower. This will make contact with the obstacle that It will lead to another route.

If the user does not want to change the route, keeps the guide follower in a retracted position that passes over of the obstacle without making contact with it and therefore without change route

The advantage, especially with the Model Spanish Utility No. 0205934, is that the roads are not complex manufacture, since they do not carry any pneumatic device of lifting obstacles, since in this application they are fixed, and That is why it is especially suitable for children.

It is an object of the present invention a diverting device for electric toy vehicles, of the type comprising guide means defining a given trajectory with a fork, an electric vehicle with a guide follower and control means and vehicle feeding means electric, characterized in that the guide follower is retractable and because it comprises within the fork an obstacle located in the guide follower path, which when the guide follower is retracted to pass over the obstacle continues its route and that when the guide follower is deployed contact the obstacle which makes the route vary.

Brief description of the drawings

In order to facilitate the explanation, accompany herewith two sheets of drawings in which they have represented a practical case of realization, which is cited by way of example, not limiting the scope of this invention:

- Figure 1 is a plan view of the track, and

- Figure 2 is a front view of the fork, with the double route by the electric vehicle.

Concrete embodiment of the present invention

Thus in Figure 1 a track 7 is illustrated, a fork 3 and guide means 2 (in this embodiment some tracks of train).

In figure 2 a vehicle has been represented electric 1 (in this embodiment an electric train) with its follower guide 4, fork 3, guide means 2 and an obstacle 5.

Thus, in a specific embodiment, the electric train 1, circulates on tracks 2 of a track 7, thanks to the user's control means (not illustrated) and moved by drive means (not shown) such as batteries, etc.

Upon reaching a fork 3 the user has two alternatives, depending on the route you want to make (fig. one).

A first in which the user wishes to continue with the same route through which it circulates, so it will maintain the guide follower 4 in retracted position, thus passing through above obstacle 5, the guide follower 4 does not touch or hit said obstacle 5 and electric train 1 continues with the same route (fig. 2).

The second is that the user wants change route and when approaching fork 3 actuate the means of control that send an order to electric train 1 so that deploy, lower or extend the guide follower 4. Said follower guide 4, upon reaching obstacle 5, impacts with it and is bound by said obstacle 5 to change the route, forcing the electric train 1 to change tracks 2 and therefore route (fig. 2).

In this embodiment a train has been arranged electric, although it could well be a car, etc., and a track of rolling instead of tracks.

The present invention patent describes a new diverting device for electric toy vehicles. The examples mentioned here are not limiting here. invention, therefore it may have different applications and / or adaptations, all of them within the scope of the following claims.

Claims (1)

1. Bypass device for electric toy vehicles, of the type comprising guide means (2) defining a given path with a fork (3), an electric vehicle (1) with a guide follower (4) and means of control and power means of the electric vehicle, characterized in that the guide follower (4) is retractable and because it comprises within the fork (3) an obstacle (5) located in the path of the guide follower (4), than when the guide follower (4) is retracted when passing over the obstacle (5) continues its route and that when the guide follower (4) is deployed it contacts the obstacle (5) that makes it vary the route.
