Abstract

The miniature racing course solves the problem of automatic devices for racing games, primarily in public places and against advance payment. The racing course (1) is equipped with at least one, two, three or more racing lanes (4) for model cars (6) which are operated by remote controls (10) and with optical measuring instruments (7) at the start and at the finish and with at least one parking box (3) for parking model cars (6). The racing course (1) can have one or more side lanes (2), with one, two, three or more side tracks (5). However, it can also be constructed without the side lane, on which the construction of the parking box (3) depends. If the side lane (2) does exist, the parking box (3) is placed directly on it and if the side lane does not exist, the parking box (3) is constructed above and below the racing course (1). In this case the racing course is separated in this place so that the legs of the dropping parts (1') are connected with the track section (13) linked to the bottom of the supporting safety bottom (12). The miniature racing course is activated by means of an automatic activating device (8) against advance payment. The intermediate results, the number of circles covered and the time spent as well as the final results with the appropriate order of competitors are visible on an information board (9).

The information panel 9 can be made on the analog or digital principle of displaying intermediate measurements of optical meters 7, as well as final measurements and results.

Na sl.2 je prikazan prednostni izvedbeni primer garažnega boksa 3, nameščenega na odstavni pas 2, kot je razvidno iz sl.l. Garažni boks 3 je v tem izvedbenem primeru izveden iz varovalnega ohišja 15, ki ga sestavljajo neprikazani in neopisani krov ter po dve stranski in čelni steni poljubnih oblik. V eno čelno steno so izvedena prednostno enojna vhodna dvižna v vratca 16, v njej nasprotno čelno steno pa so izvedena prednostno prav tako enojna izhodna vratca 17, ki se odpirata tako, da se zavrtita okrog tečaja 11 in sicer navzven in vsaka v nasprotno smer. VFIG. 2 shows a preferred embodiment of a garage box 3 mounted on a belt 2, as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the garage box 3 is made of a protective housing 15 consisting of a non-illustrated and undisclosed deck and two side and front walls of any shape. Preferably, a single inlet lift in door 16 is made into one front wall and, in the opposite front wall, single exit doors 17 are preferably made, which are opened by rotating about one hinge 11 outwards and each in the opposite direction. V

- 5 nekem drugem izvedbenem primeru se lahko vratca (16,17) odpirajo tudi navznoter ali kombinirano in so lahko v nekem drugem izvedbenem primeru izvedena tudi kot vertikalno dvižna ali vertikalno spustna. Prednostno se, ob prihodu avtomobilskega modelčka 6 v garažni boks 3, odprejo le vhodna dvižna vratca 16 in se, ko je le-ta v notranjosti, za njim tudi zaprejo. Obratno temu se ob izhodu avtomobilskega modelčka 6 iz garažnega boksa 3 odprejo izhodna dvižna vratca 17 in se za njim ponovno zaprejo. V nekem drugem izvedbenem primeru so lahko vratca (16,17) odprta in zaprta tudi hkrati. Garažni boks 3 je prednostno izveden iz prosojnega materiala, da so v njem garažirani avtomobilski modelčki 6 videni, pri čemer je lahko v nekem drugem izvedbenem primeru izveden tudi iz neprosojnega materiala.- In another embodiment, the doors (16, 17) can also be opened inwardly or in combination, and in another embodiment can also be made vertically lifting or vertically lowering. Preferably, when the car model 6 arrives in the garage box 3, only the entrance lift door 16 is opened and, when inside, is closed behind it. Conversely, the exit lift door 17 opens and closes behind the car model 6 from the garage box 3. In another embodiment, the doors (16, 17) may be open and closed at the same time. The garage box 3 is preferably made of translucent material so that the car models 6 garaged therein are visible, and in another embodiment it may also be made of opaque material.

Na sl.3 je prikazan drugi izvedbeni primer garažnega boksa 3 za garažiranje avtomobilskih modelčkov 6, ki ga prednostno namestimo v sestav dirkalne steze 1, pri čemer je lahko v nekem drugem izvedbenem primeru na isti način nameščen tudi v sestav odstavnega pasu 2. Pri tem izvedbenem primeru je garažni boks 3 izveden iz dveh sklopov. Prvi sklop tvori krovno varovalno ohišje 14, ki je nameščeno nekoliko nad dirkalno stezo 1 in je lahko izvedeno brez ali z vratci (16,17), ki so prikazana na sl.2 in so predhodno že opisana. Drugi sklop tvori nosilno varovalno dno 12, ki je nameščeno nekoliko pod dirkalno stezo 1 in je z vseh strani nedostopno zaprto.FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of a garage box 3 for car model 6 garaging, which is preferably mounted in the race track assembly 1, in which another embodiment may also be mounted in the paragraph lane 2 in the same manner. in the embodiment, the garage box 3 is made of two parts. The first assembly forms an overhead guard housing 14, which is positioned slightly above race track 1 and can be made without or with the doors (16,17) shown in FIG. 2 and described previously. The second assembly forms a load bearing base 12, which is located slightly below race track 1 and is inaccessibly closed on all sides.

V predelu znotraj garažnega boksa 3, po tem drugem izvedbenem primeru, je dirkalna steza 1, z njo pa tudi neprikazane dirkalne proge 4, deljivo izvedena v prečni smeri tako, da jo je mogoče s pomočjo dveh tečajev 11 in v dveh spustnih delih 1' spustiti navzdol v nosilno varovalno dno 12 tako, da oba konca spustnih delov 1' čelno naležeta na po en čelni konec tirnega segmenta 13, ki je fiksno pritrjen na notranjo steno nosilnega dna 12. Po izhodu avtomobilskih modelčkov 6 iz garažnega boksa 3, se obaIn the area within Garage Box 3, according to this second embodiment, race track 1 and, with it, non-shown race tracks 4, are split in a transverse direction so that it can be supported by two courses 11 and two descending parts 1 '. lower down into the load-bearing base 12 so that both ends of the lowering parts 1 'face the one on the front end of the track segment 13, which is fixed to the inner wall of the carrier base 12. After leaving the car models 6 from the garage box 3, both

- 6 spustna dela Γ dirkalne steze 1 ponovno dvigneta v njeno ravnino in na ta način se ponovno oblikuje navidezno nedeljiva dirkalna steza 1 po celotni svoji dolžini.- The 6 descending parts alne of race track 1 are raised again into its plane, thus forming a seemingly indivisible race track 1 along its entire length.

Po plačilu štartnine, po enem od predhodno opisanih načinov, avtomatska aktivirna naprava 8 aktivira miniaturno avtomobilsko dirkališče in ga priključi na električno energijo. Avtomobilski modelčki 6 iz garažnega boksa 3, izvedenega po enem od obeh predhodno opisanih načinov, prikazanih na sl.2 oziroma sl.3, pripeljejo do startne črte in se pred njo zaustavijo. Na določen signal tekmovalci s pomočjo upravljalcev 10 poženejo avtomobilske modelčke 6 po dirkalnih progah 4 na dirkalni stezi 1 in z njihovo pomočjo regulirajo tudi njihovo hitrost. V kolikor je za sam sistem tekmovanj potrebno, so lahko avtomobilski modelčki 6 pred izpadom iz dirkalne proge 4, v zavojih dirkalne steze 1, varovani s posebnim varovalom, ki na slikah ni prikazano in ni opisano. Optični merilniki 7, nameščeni na startu in cilju, točno izmerijo hitrost vožnje posameznih avtomobilskih modelčkov 6, njihovo povprečno hitrost na dirki, število prevoženih krogov v dirki in porabljen oziroma dosežen čas v posameznem krogu in skupno na cilju, po končani dirki. Tekmovalci lahko vmesne izmerjene vrednosti oziroma dosežene vmesne rezultate stalno spremljajo na informacijski plošči 9, digitalne ali analogne izvedbe, na kateri se ob koncu dirke pokažejo izmerjene vrednosti oziroma končni rezultati dirke in na tej osnovi redosled doseženih mest posameznih avtomobilskih modelčkov 6. Po končani dirki, avtomobilski modelčki 6 zapeljejo v garažni boks 3 in miniaturno avtomobilsko dirkališče po izumu je pripravljeno za novo dirko. Prav predhodno opisana izvedba dirkališča omogoča njegovo uporabo v javnih prostorih, saj je njegovo delovanje v celoti avtomatizirano, odtujitev njegovih sestavnih delov pa praktično ni mogoča brez uporabe fizične sile. Nadzor nad javnim igralnim prostorom, v katerem se nahaja večje številoUpon payment of the entry fee in one of the methods described above, the automatic actuator 8 activates the miniature car race track and connects it to electricity. Car models 6 from the garage box 3, made according to one of the two previously described methods shown in Fig.2 and Fig.3 respectively, lead to the starting line and stop in front of it. On a specific signal, the racers, using the controls 10, drive the car models 6 along the race tracks 4 on race track 1 and also regulate their speed with their help. Insofar as required for the competition system itself, car models 6 may be protected by a special guard, which is not shown or described in the pictures, in the pictures of race track 1, in the turns of race track 1. Optical gauges 7, positioned at the start and finish, accurately measure the speed of each car model 6, their average speed in the race, the number of laps traveled in the race, and the time spent or achieved in each lap and the total on the finish after the race. Competitors can continuously monitor the intermediate values or achieved intermediate results in the information panel 9, digital or analogue versions, at which the measured values or final results of the race are displayed at the end of the race and on that basis the order of the achieved positions of individual car models 6. After the race, Model 6s drive into garage box 3 and the miniature car raceway of the invention is ready for a new race. The performance of the racetrack described above enables its use in public spaces, since its operation is fully automated, and the disposal of its components is practically impossible without the use of physical force. Control of a public play area with a large number

- 7 miniaturnih avtomobilskih dirkališč po prijavljenem izumu, je enostaven in cenen. S temi dirkališči so možna tekmovanja na vseh ravneh.- 7 miniature racing cars according to the invention are easy and cheap. These racetracks make it possible to compete at all levels.
