Abstract

It consists of a game for playgrounds consisting of one or more vehicles (2) that slide on a rail (1) with a characteristic shape that prevents the vehicle (2) from leaving the rail (1) while allowing a limited rolling and regulation of the force necessary to achieve sliding. The absence of moving parts prevents accidents to children and prevents possible theft of material. It has the rail (1) of a narrowing or neck (10) on which fit a teflon slides (6), with a certain clearance that allows a certain relative movement between the parts, but prevents the separation between vehicle and rail. The vehicles (2) are formed from two sides (4) braced by handlebar and seat of the simulated vehicle. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

Circuit racing game for parks Children's

Object of the invention

The present invention relates, as expressly the title of this report to a children's game consisting of a motorcycle circuit for children designed for implantation in Playgrounds for playgrounds and related places.

More specifically, it is a game for playgrounds based on the toy known as "hall-corridors" shaped like a motorcycle in a preferred embodiment but may use any other reason (animals, cars, etc.) guided on two or more parallel cylinders through a guide piece that provides stability while It allows lateral balancing and longitudinal sliding.

Field of application of the invention

This invention will have application within the urban furniture and garden elements manufacturing industry, as well as in the toy industry.

Background of the invention

Numerous games currently in existence intended for children consist of imitations of vehicles adult world. It is possible to see in numerous public places rockers with motorcycle, car, truck, etc. I also know they find mechanical games in which the imitated vehicle moves through a mechanism, producing balances that simulate the movement. However, it is not known by the holder of the present memory the existence of a game consisting of cylinders parallels arranged on the ground on which the vehicles, simulating a racing circuit.

The present invention allows to realize competitions of two or more people simultaneously, thus being taste of a greater spectrum of ages than with respect to Traditional rockers and current roundabouts.

The children's race circuit does not have moving parts, eliminating any possible risk of entrapment In addition, it allows to regulate the resistance to slip that must be overcome to advance the vehicle, of so that excessive speeds are avoided and its use also supposes performing some healthy and fun physical effort to the children.

Explanation of the invention.

The children's race circuit that preconiza is configured from rails arranged in the ground that will serve to define the circuit since the vehicles are They will shift over them. These rails have a base that supports directly on the ground, and on it a cylinder of a diameter such that it coincides with the measurements of the vehicle that will go on he.

Vehicles in their appearance do not differ in too much of the usual corridors, consisting of a seat for the child and a handlebar so that it can grab, using any decorative motif to imitate, whether motorcycles, animals, cars, etc. On the inside of the vehicle are arranged, hidden behind the wheels, sliders of Teflon, whose outermost part will be properly rounded off way to avoid the danger of entrapment. The sliders remain embedded between the base of the rail and the upper cylinder so that it is not possible to separate the vehicle from the rail. Likewise, the groove between base and cylinder allows limited lateral balancing That does not pose a risk of overturning.

These teflon slides, or any other material with similar characteristics, are attached to the internal parts of the outer casing of the device by Simple screws, which will also be hidden. The use of nuts allow to modify the tightening of the sliders to the cylinder, thus modulating the resistance that the vehicle will offer its glide. The sliders will have two faces, being arranged on an L-shaped angle, thus presenting in each end of the vehicle a horizontal and a vertical support.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing, and in order to facilitate a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is attached herein as an integral part of it, some drawings made with illustrative and non-limiting nature, which follows to describe:

Fig. 1, in which the device is represented which is recommended, having represented a small straight section that It would constitute a part of the circuit.

Fig. 2 showing a side of the vehicle along with the elements that act as sliders.

Fig. 3 in which a section of the rail is observed on which the vehicles will slide.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the aforementioned figures, and of according to the numbering adopted, you can see in them a preferred embodiment of the invention, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail to then, not intended at all to limit the scope of is.

In a preferred embodiment, the circuit of Child careers that are recommended are configured from a rail (1) on which vehicles (2) will slide, which although in This example simulates racing bikes, can be done with any type of decorative motif such as cars, animals, etc.

This rail (1) consists of a single piece, if well in other embodiments it can be achieved by union of different pieces, which will present as more parts significant the base (11) on which the rail (1) rests, the neck (10) where contact with the sliding zones occurs of the vehicle (2) and which in turn limit its balancing; Y finally the upper cylinder (12), this part being in charge on the one hand of the vehicle (2) to the rail and on the other allow a support area for the feet of younger children, so that even if they don't reach the ground they can use the game.

The vehicle (2) is configured from two symmetrical sides (4) that will be joined by a handlebar bar (3) and a group of bars (9) that will be hidden under the seat. These bars (9) are arranged hidden under the seat in order to achieve a smoother sliding of the vehicle, by giving it greater number of support points. This group of bars (9) will be attached to the sides (4) by means of a rotating plate, which allows the free rolling of the bar on the rail.

The aforementioned sides (4) have holes (8) for the insertion of said bracing elements. This set of pieces is anchored to the rail (1) thanks to some angular pieces (5) screwed on the bottom of the lateral (4) of the vehicle. Angular sayings (5) have both its vertical wing as in the horizontal of sliding paths (6 and 7) Teflon, which will be flexible and resistant parts, so that serve as a stop to prevent the vehicle (2) from leaving the rail (1) and at the same time allow it to slide. Further, thanks to the fact that the angular ones are screwed, by means of The use of nuts can be adjusted by tightening the sliders of Teflon (6 and 7) against the neck (10) of the rail (1) so that it is possible to limit vehicle sway as well as minimum force necessary to move it.

Once assembled and created a circuit closed, the absence of moving parts and the impossibility of disassembling the elements without tools will protect the device of possible acts of vandalism that could occur in the public environments to which it is intended. In case of not consisting in a closed circuit, there is also the possibility of incorporating at the ends of the rails (1) stops that prevent separation of the vehicle (2) with respect to the rail (1). It is also convenient for these cases the incorporation of brakes on the rails in the extreme areas, said brakes consisting of a simple narrowing of the neck (10) of the rail (1) so that the friction of the Teflon slides increase until the vehicle movement This narrowing is easily realizable on the rail, only incorporating an addition of material that may well be consisting of a weld or inserted screws.

With everything indicated, it is taken for granted described the character of the present invention, not considering It is necessary to make this explanation more extensive.
