Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to a roll bar for toy vehicles.

Roll bars are fixed to vehicles such as jeeps and buggies to ensure the safety of passengers, and roll bars are similarly attached to toys that imitate these vehicles. As shown in FIG. 1, the toy roll bar 1 has a structure in which a support 2 and a pair of legs 3 are injection molded, and a tongue piece 4 at the top of the support 2 and an end of the leg 3 are fastened with screws. ing. In addition, the other end of the leg 3 and the support 2
Both ends of the are fixed to the vehicle. This conventional technique has the disadvantage that it is necessary to screw the support column 2 and the leg 3 together during assembly, which increases the number of assembly steps. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, even when a connecting column 3' is fixed between a pair of columns 2 (one not shown), the tongue piece 4 is extended to the column 2 and is horizontal to the column. The connecting post 3' is screwed to the tongue piece 4 extending from the top. Therefore, during assembly, it is essential to screw the connecting column 3' and the column 2 together.

Such conventional roll bars require assembly using screws. By the way, it is technically possible to integrally mold the legs or the connecting column with the column. However, at right angles to the column or diagonally, the connecting column or
Molding the legs in one piece requires a large injection mold, and the injection technique is also difficult, so it is not a good idea in terms of cost. For this reason, as described above, the parts are molded as individual parts, and these parts are joined together using screws during assembly.

This invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and basically includes providing a thin part at the end of the leg or connecting column, and a column abutment surface communicating with the thin part, The thin-walled portion is integrally injection molded to connect to the column.

According to this invention, the support and the leg or connection pillar are injection molded in a horizontal manner, and when assembled, the leg or connection pillar can be tilted at a desired angle with respect to the support through the thin wall part, so molding is not necessary. It's easy. It is recommended that the roll bar be molded from a synthetic resin such as polypropylene so that the thin wall portion can withstand repeated bending.

An embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

The support column 2 has an inverted U-shape, and screws (not shown) for attachment to a toy vehicle are embedded in both ends thereof. A thin wall portion 5 at the end of the leg 3 or the connecting column 3';
A support abutment surface 6 communicating with the thin wall portion 5 is provided. The column contact surface 6 has a shape that follows the outer surface of the column, and as shown in FIG. 4, when used as a connecting column 3', it is relatively shallow so that the connecting column 3' is perpendicular to the column 2. Gouge. In addition, when using the legs 3, the contact surface 6 is deeply hollowed out as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 4 so that the legs 3 are disposed obliquely to the support 2. When the deeply hollowed contact surface 6 is brought into contact with the outer surface of the support column 2 while bending the thin wall portion 5, the leg 3 will be disposed diagonally with respect to the support column 2.

In this way, depending on the degree of gouge of the contact surface 6,
The relative angle of the leg 3 or the connecting column 3' with respect to the column 2 is set arbitrarily.
