Abstract

1,135,505. Toy amusement park; roundabouts. TOMY KOGYO CO. Ltd. 30 May, 1967 [18 Nov., 1966], No. 24935/67. Heading A6S. A toy amusement park comprises in combination a track 13 consisting of a plurality of track sections 13a, 13b and station units 13d, a powered vehicle 10 adapted to travel on said track, and a plurality of revolving units 40a, 40b, 40c, interchangeably connected to said station units which have manually controlled means for causing the vehicle to be stopped on and released from the station unit and means for transmitting to the revolving unit connected thereto, motor power being transmitted from the vehicle when stopped on the station unit, thereby enabling the vehicle to operate the revolving units successively at each station. As each vehicle 10 arrives at each station unit 13d, the projection 56 projecting downwardly of the vehicle is adapted to engage with either one of the two guid estops 22, 22', thus causing the vehicle to be stopped as shown in Fig. 4. The driving wheels 12 thereof which continue rotating are brought into frictional contact with the periphery of the roughened cylinder 33 thereby enabling the cylinder to be rotated. As it rotates the pinion 37 co-axially mounted therewith is rotated and rotates the small crown gear 41 on the connecting plate 42 of the revolving units, thus enabling the working parts of the revolving units to be actuated. When the operator pushes the push-button 26 against the spring action exerted by spring 19, the guide stops 22, 22' are lowered causing the projection 56 to be disengaged, whereupon the vehicle 10 is released to travel to the next station unit.
