Description

ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION DISTRIBUTION PLAN and CONTROL METHOD for

  The present invention relates, in general, to a playground or work area distributing electrical energy and control on which miniaturized motorized mobiles can evolve.

or human size.

  There are currently many achievements of motorized mobile traveling on rails. These rails serve as electric power and guide distributors, thus blocking the flow

  mobile this is the case of trains, or small cars on circuit.

  Some life-size games are not frozen in mobility by a guide; this is the case of the dodgems found in fairs, but in this case, the energy distribution is made both by the playground on which the mobiles move and a grid pattern over the playground taking in

sandwich the mobile.

  The major drawbacks of such designs are limited by the constraints of course or lack of space and visibility of the game leader, since it is separated from the mobile by a grid frame. The present invention relates to a device not having the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned above, but allowing to develop and control one or more motorized mobiles on a plan or playground, which brings a factor extremely entertaining and real; this device being, moreover,

  simple design and minimal manufacturing cost.

  It is more particularly a plan electrical power distribution device and control composed of parallel strips that can animate one or more motorized mobiles, each of the mobile having one or more electric motors (left, right)

  or all right) controlled by the energy distributing playground.

  The system operates on the 220 V mains supply. The control box has a transformer to supply the low-voltage playground (eg 4, 6, 12 V) with two wires. There are also some electronic components and two pushbuttons or manipulator. corresponding to the command right / left or the function all right while intervening simultaneously on right and left. Energy and control information is transmitted to the motorized mobile by the configuration

  even of the playground (parallel bands) by distributing alternately

  each of the two poles with isolation between each. The motorized mobile picks up rubbing contacts on the playground energy

  and, or the com-ande that are intended for Him.

  The device of the invention may have, among other things, at least one of the following characteristics: I - The energy distributing strips must be parallel and alternative (+, -, +, -, + etc ...) or concentric but not

necessarily straight.

  2 - The inter-axis of the bands constituting the playground and distributing the energy and the control must be compatible with the inter-axis

  of taking energy and controlling the mobile to be controlled.

  3 - The playground could be of different geometric shapes

  composable or modular, or whatever, just like a puzzle.

  4 - The playground may include specific facilities depending on the type and rules of the game.

  Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent

  more clearly in the light of the description that follows,

  given by way of illustration but by no means limitation with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawings in which: FIG. (1) is a perspective view of the playground on which a motorized mobile can evolve, thus forming the device

  power supply and push button control.

  FIG. (2) represents an enlarged view in section along the section plane A-A, this view clearly showing the different

components of the playground.

  Figure (3) is an enlarged sectional view of another

  possible design of realization.

  Figure (4) is a perspective view of a possible shape

  According to the invention, it is proposed to make a play area that distributes energy and control for a motorized mobile.

  intended to evolve at the pleasure of its user.

  According to the invention, the play area consists of a platform

  form (10) The material constituting it shall be a conductor of electrical energy and shall be a distributing construction of one of the two

  poles (+) or (-) in the drawing fig. (1) and (2) is the (-) pole.

  The said pole is electrically connected to the control box (11). On this playground appear at regular intervals and defined according to the nature, sensitivity and scale of the game of parallel or concentric isolation strips (12). On these insulation strips and at the same between axes, and centered with respect to the latter will, for example, glued conductive bands (+) or (-), in FIGS. (1) and (2) is the pole (+) mark (13) The said pole Pst electrically connected to the control unit (11). This stack of strips (12) and (13) relative to the plane (10) creates a slight relief. This benefit will appear

  more clearly when describing the nature of the taking of

mobile contact (Fig. 4).

  Figure (3) shows another embodiment.

  A support of insulating material (14) determines the playground. In this

  support are cut grooves (15) square section, rectangular

  linear or triangular type dovetail; these grooves will be either parallel or concentric. These grooves will be filled with conductive material. The filling (16) of the groove (+) or (-) in FIG. (3) it is the (-i) will be arrasante to the plane (14) side play area. The filling of the complementary pole 17 (-) in FIG. (3)

  will be inferior in level to the filling (16), next to playground.

  This difference of relief or level will appear more clearly

  when describing the nature of the contact

mobile fig. (4).

  Figure (4) shows an example of a mobile intended to evolve on the playground. The making contact of this mobile consists of a ring (18) of electrically conductive material and captures the energy (pole (+)) and the control for engines M1 and M2, motors for animating the mobile. This ring (18) can be of different shapes and sizes because, for some mobiles, it can ensure the support polygon. Inside or outside this ring (18) a flexible scraper (19) of conductive material and protruding in length from the laying plane of the ring (18) captures the energy (-) and the control intended

to M1 and M2 engines.

  In either case (FIG 1) or (FIG 2) the supply and control box (11) is identical and comprises two push buttons (20) and (21) for orienting the mobile left or right, or all right. This housing includes electronics and a power transformer to go from a voltage of 220 V. AC to a low voltage safety

  to operate the M1 and M2 engines in our application.
