Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The invention relates to railway model parts, and more specifically, it is possible to obtain various parts such as stations, platforms, trackbeds, overpasses, elevated lines, tunnels, etc. by combining two basic parts. This relates to model railroad parts that can be used primarily for children.

As is well known, model trains are popular with many children, including hobbyists.

However, the vehicle models and parts for station buildings and other equipment models that are currently on the market for enthusiasts are extremely expensive, making it difficult for children to purchase them with their pocket money.

Therefore, relatively inexpensive plastic model parts are commercially available for children's railroad models.

However, for children, the parts of the railroad model are realistic, and the children's ingenuity is limited to simply arranging the parts of the completed station building, etc. It is limited and has few play elements for children.

This invention was created in view of the current situation, and its purpose is to combine two basic parts by children or their own ingenuity, and to add to these existing parts. The aim is to provide railway model parts that can be used to create various equipment for a desired railway model, in other words, to provide railway model parts that allow children to play with building blocks and ingenuity.

For this purpose, the present invention has symmetrically formed engagement recesses directed inward in the longitudinal direction at the bottom of the long main body side plates made of hard synthetic resin and having a generally mouth-shaped cross section. , a first model part formed of regular right triangular notches in the longitudinal direction of both side plates above the engagement recess, and a long model part made of hard synthetic resin and having a generally mouth-shaped cross section. The present invention is characterized by a combination configuration with a second model component, in which protrusions that engage with the engagement recesses of the first model component are provided inwardly in the longitudinal direction of the upper ends of both side plate portions of the main body.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows a first model part 1, which is obtained as a molded article of a hard synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride resin by integral molding.

That is, an inverted V-shaped engagement recess 5 is formed inwardly in the longitudinal direction at the bottom of both side plate parts 4, 4 of the elongated main body 2, which has a generally open cross-section with both end edges of the upper plate part 3 slightly protruding. , 5 are formed in a left-right symmetrical shape, and regular right triangular notches 6, 6 are formed in the longitudinal direction of both side plate parts 4, 4 at positions above these four engaging parts 5, 5.・It is formed by forming.

Note that the internal width of the first model component 1 is formed to be sufficient for laying the existing model rail A, and the entire first model component 1 is formed into a long object with a predetermined length.

As will be described later, this is designed so that it can be cut to the desired length and used for multiple purposes.

Moreover, notches 6, 6 formed in both side plate parts 4, 4...
Diagonal frame edges 7, 7 formed by...
The upper and lower bases of the frame are formed to be thin, so that when the diagonal frame edges 7, 7, etc. are cut to obtain a desired pattern during use as described later, it is easy to cut them. A cut portion 8°8 is formed.

Furthermore, although not shown in the longitudinal direction of the center of the upper plate part 3, holes for hanging illumination lights may be formed at appropriate intervals, or the entire outer surface may be colored or patterned. good.

FIG. 2 shows a second model part 9, which, like the first model part 1, is obtained as a hard synthetic resin molded product.

That is, the upper ends of the side plate parts 12.12 of the elongated main body 10 having an abbreviated cross section with both ends of the lower plate part 11 slightly protruding are engaged with the engagement recesses 5°5 of the first model part 1. An inverted V-shaped protrusion 13.13 is provided to protrude inward.

It goes without saying that the entire outer surface of the second model part 9 may be colored, or a design, pattern, etc. may be displayed on the side plates 12, 12.

In addition to the straight model parts shown in the figure, there are also curved model parts in the proposed railway model parts with the above configuration, and of these two model parts, the first
The model part 1 is usually used for bridge piers, trusses, platform roofs, tunnels, etc., and can also be used upside down.

On the other hand, the second model part 9 is usually used for platforms, roadbeds, overpasses, roads, etc., and like the first model part 1, it can also be used upside down.

Next, a method of using the proposed railway model component will be explained based on a specific example shown in FIG. 3 and subsequent figures.

First, to make a station, two long model parts 1.9 are cut to desired lengths, and then the lower plate part 11 is positioned upward and the second part is cut as shown in FIG. Model part 9 is adhesively fixed on panel B to form a platform, and this second
The first model part 1 is adhesively fixed onto the lower plate part 11 of the model part 9 to form a roof.

In this case, the side surfaces of the first model part 1 are made to look like roof supports by cutting off unnecessary parts such as the diagonal frame edges 7 formed on both side plate parts 4.4 with a tool such as nippers. (See Figure 4).

FIG. 5 shows the case where the second model part 9 is used as a track bed.
As shown in the figure, the second model part 9 cut to a desired height is adhesively fixed on the panel B with double-sided adhesive tape, etc., and a commercially available rail A is installed between the side plate parts 12 and 12 of the second model part 9. When installed, the side plate portions 12.12 serve as guardrails, and a trackbed that does not impede the progress of a translating vehicle even if the axle derails is obtained.

Figures 6 and 7 show the case where one first model part 1 and two second model parts 9 are combined to form an elevated line, and as shown, the second model part cut to the desired length is The part 9 is adhesively fixed on the panel B and a commercially available rail A is laid, and then the first model part 1 is inserted into the engaging protrusion 13° 13 of the second model part 9 with its engaging recesses 5, 5. At the same time, the second model part 9 is mounted and adhesively fixed on the upper plate part 3 of this first model part 1, and a commercially available If Rail A is laid, it can be likened to an elevated line.

In this case, both side surfaces of the first model part 1 are formed into a rectangular shape by cutting the diagonal frame edges 7, 7, . . . as shown in FIG.

In addition, rail A is laid only on either the upper or lower side,
The other may be used as a road.

Figure 8 shows two first model parts 1 and one second model part 9.
In this case, as shown in the figure, the first model part 1, which has been made into piers by cutting off unnecessary parts, is adhesively fixed on panel B, and the upper plate part 2 of this first model part 1 is
A second model part 9 is glued and fixed on top, and a rail A is laid.
Furthermore, by attaching the first model part 1 cut into a trapezoid shape so that its engaging recesses 5 and 5 are engaged with the protrusions 13 and 13 of the second model part 9, a steel bridge as shown in FIG. 8 can be obtained. .

Outside the underground station, as shown in Figure 9, although not shown,
A large number of railway model facilities such as overpasses, expressways running through roads, tunnels, and terminal buildings can be obtained by combining the two basic model parts 1 and 9.

In this way, according to the present invention, two model parts can be independently
Alternatively, by combining these two model parts, or by adding custom-made parts or existing parts to these two model parts, it is possible to obtain various desired equipment in a realistic manner, so it is possible to add originality and ingenuity compared to the past. However, it doubles the fun of making railroad models, and is especially useful for children as railroad model parts.

Furthermore, the proposed model component has a simple structure and is obtained as a hard synthetic resin molded product through mass production, so it can be provided at an extremely low cost.
