Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a model container car that imitates the form of a real car and, in particular, to a mounting structure of a removable container.
  • Model train fans have their own tastes. Examples of fields that have been popular in recent years include container freight cars (Japanese Railway Vehicle Type: Koki 106 Type, Koki 5000 Type, Koki 25000 Type, etc.). Containers loaded on the container freight cars include various types of containers such as 5 t containers (t is ton), 10 t containers, 40 f containers (f is feet), 31 f containers, and tank containers. The containers of the same type vary in design and coloring. The designs that look the same may slightly differ in details in many cases. From such wide variations, the container freight cars are also significantly popular in model railroad industries. There exist even garage makers that sell containers, which are subjected to various types of designs and coloring, alone.
  • FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a conventional model container freight car that appeared on page 239 of “TOMIX CATALOG 2007-2008” sold by TOMYTEC CO., LTD.
  • a plurality of projecting claws A is provided on a loading surface on which containers are mounted.
  • the projecting claws A are integrally formed in a frame.
  • the projecting claws A line up along the vehicle length of the container freight car while being opposed to one another along the vehicle width thereof.
  • the container is set from above to the pair of projecting claws A existing at a position where the container attempts to be mounted.
  • respective outward projections formed in upper parts of the projecting claws A engage with projections or depressions formed on an inner side surface of the hollow-shaped container, to hold the container from the inside.
  • the shape of the projecting claws A is somewhat like toys. However, the projecting claws A are used to resemble a folding type binding apparatus (the apparatus is used for binding a 5 t container) mounted on a real car, and the arrangement thereof also conforms to the arrangement of the folding type binding apparatus.
  • the shape and the arrangement of the projecting claws A are common to various model makers that sell container freight cars, and are “virtual standards” in domestic model railroad industries.
  • a folding type binding apparatus for the 5 t container is used at the time of loading of a 5 t container. Specifically, a pair of binding apparatuses set on a loading surface sandwiches the container from the outside, to fix the container. At the time of loading of a container other than the 5 t container, bosses respectively provided at four corners at the bottom of the container are inserted into mounting holes previously formed on a loading surface, to fix the container. In this case, the folding type binding apparatus corresponding to the size of the 5 t container interferes with the bottom of the container (excluding the 5 t container) if it remains projecting upward from the loading surface. Therefore, the folding type binding apparatus is set folded sideward.
  • container mounting methods in models are common to containers of all types.
  • Projecting claws A integrally formed in frames are uniformly employed.
  • the projecting claws A can realize functions required as the models in simple configurations, while reducing reality as the models.
  • cutout portions for avoiding the projecting claws A should be respectively provided on front and rear surfaces of the container.
  • the mounting of the 40 f container by the projecting claws A is achieved by engagement with projections or depressions formed on an inner side surface of the container. Conditions for this are that the inner side surface of the container exists at a position where the projecting claws A are arranged, that is, both the projecting claws A and the container are opposed to each other.
  • the conditions are satisfied.
  • the conditions are not satisfied because the position of the projecting claws A and the wall of the front surface (or the rear surface) of the container are just overlapped with each other.
  • slit-shaped cutout portions are formed on the front and rear surfaces of the container to avoid interference with the projecting claws A.
  • cutout portions do not exist in actual 40 f containers. Therefore, the existence of the cutout portions degrades reality as models. Note that the cutout portions are not required if the arrangement itself of the projecting claws A is changed. In the case, the arrangement of the projecting claws A is not consistent with the arrangement of folding type binding apparatuses, thereby reducing the reality in another sense.
  • the appearances are not good.
  • the heights of projecting claws A with loading surfaces used as the basis that is, projection heights are important factors that affect engagement performances (engagement forces with the containers and ease of engagement). From this viewpoint, the projecting claws A are forced to increase in height to some extent. When grasped on the same scale, therefore, the projecting claws A are significantly higher than the actual folding type binding apparatuses. In forms at the time of loading of the containers, the projecting claws A are covered with the containers. On the other hand, in the forms at the time of non-loading of the containers, the projecting claws A are exposed, so that their unnatural heights are noticeable.
  • the present first to third inventions are directed to improving the reality of a model container car.
  • the first invention provides a model container car having a vehicle main body and a mounting member.
  • the vehicle main body has a plurality of mounting holes provided side by side along a vehicle length, and opposed to one another along a vehicle width on a loading surface on which a container is mounted.
  • the mounting member is removably mounted on the mounting hole.
  • the mounting member includes a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion.
  • the first engagement portion is provided within an insertion area inserted into the mounting hole and engageable with the vehicle main body.
  • the second engagement portion is provided above the insertion area and engageable with an inner side surface of the container.
  • the second invention provides a model container car having a vehicle main body and a plurality of mounting holes.
  • the vehicle main body has a loading surface on which a container is mounted.
  • the mounting holes is provided side by side along a vehicle length, and opposed to one another along a vehicle width on the loading surface.
  • a mounting member used for mounting the container on the loading surface and having a first engagement portion provided within an insertion area inserted into the mounting hole and being engageable with the vehicle main body is removably mounted on the mounting hole.
  • the arrangement of the mounting holes on the loading surface may conform to the arrangement of a folding type binding apparatus mounted on a real car.
  • the first engagement portion may have an engagement shape vertically projecting along the vehicle length.
  • the first engagement portion may include a pair of curved claws opposed to each other along the vehicle length and curved inward toward each other.
  • the first engagement portion may include a pair of projecting claws respectively having projections opposed to each other along the vehicle length and projecting outward from each other.
  • a first part and a second part may be selectable as the mounting member.
  • the first part has a form that imitates the shape of the appearance of the folding type binding apparatus mounted on the real car represented therein.
  • the second part does not have the form that imitates the shape of the appearance of the folding type binding apparatus represented therein.
  • a third part may be selectable in order to represent a form at the time of non-loading of the container.
  • the third part is removably mounted on the mounting hole, includes the first engagement portion, and has the form that imitates the shape of the appearance of the folding type binding apparatus represented therein in place of the second engagement portion above the insertion area.
  • the third invention provides a model container car having a vehicle main body and a plurality of mounting holes.
  • the vehicle main body has a loading surface on which a container is mounted.
  • the mounting holes are provided side by side along the vehicle length, and opposed to one another along the vehicle width on the loading surface. Wherein any one of a first part, a second part, and a third part differ in form and are removably mounted is selectively mounted on the mounting hole.
  • the first part is used for mounting the container on the loading surface, is provided within an insertion area inserted into the mounting hole, includes a first engagement portion being engageable with the vehicle main body and a second engagement portion being engageable with an inner side surface of the container, and has a form that imitates the shape of the appearance of a folding type binding apparatus mounted on a real car represented therein.
  • the second part is used for mounting the container on the loading surface, includes the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion, and does not have the form that imitates the shape of the appearance of the folding type binding apparatus represented therein.
  • the third part is used for representing a form at the time of non-loading of the container, includes the first engagement portion, and has the form that imitates the shape of the appearance of the folding type binding apparatus represented therein in place of the second engagement portion above the insertion area.
  • the mounting member used for mounting the container is provided as separate parts, and is removably mounted on any of the mounting holes.
  • the mounting member is not mounted on the mounting hole that is overlapped with the wall of the container. This does not cause interference itself with the container, which becomes a problem in the case of the conventional non-removable projecting claws, thereby eliminating the need for cutout portions that are provided on front and rear surfaces of the container of this type. This can result in improvement in the reality of the model container car on which the container of this type is mounted.
  • the mounting member as separate parts, there can be provided a plurality of types of parts that are selectable by a user and differ in form.
  • the plurality of types of parts that differ in form are prepared and are left to the selection of a user, so that various types of forms such as forms at the time of loading of the container and the time of non-loading of the container can be accurately reproduced.
  • This can result in improvement in the reality of the model container car, as compared with that of the conventional product on which the non-removable projecting claws are mounted.

  • the model container freight car 1 includes a vehicle main body 2 , carriages 3 , containers 4 A, and mounting members 5 A.
  • the vehicle main body 2 is mainly composed of a frame 2 a made of plastic.
  • a flat upper surface of the frame 2 a is a loading surface on which the containers 4 A are to be mounted.
  • the frame 2 a is of a see-through type that is vertically penetrated, as in a real car, in order to improve the appearance thereof at the time of non-loading of the containers 4 A.
  • a detail that is a three-dimensional representation of a control device, a handrail, or the like mounted on the real car is added to the vehicle main body 2 , and a metal weight corresponding to the shape of the frame 2 a
  • a plurality of mounting holes 2 b that vertically penetrates the frame 2 a is provided on the loading surface of the vehicle main body 2 . All the mounting holes 2 b have the same opening shape, and their upper openings are rectangular.
  • the mounting members 5 A made of plastic are removably mounted on the mounting holes 2 b , and their mounting positions are left to the selection of a user.
  • the pair of mounting holes 2 b opposed to each other along the vehicle width X of the vehicle main body 2 is taken as a basic pair, and the plurality of pairs line up along the vehicle length Y of the vehicle main body 2 .
  • the arrangement of the mounting holes 2 b conforms to the arrangement of folding type binding apparatuses mounted on the real car, similarly to the arrangement of the conventional non-removable projecting claws.
  • the containers 4 A are fixed on the loading surface by a linkage of the mounting holes 2 b and the mounting members 5 A irrespective of their types.
  • a dummy circular holes 2 c represented at an appropriate position of the loading surface is not involved in the fixing of the containers in the model and is only a mere representation of the shape of the appearance of the real car, although a mounting hole corresponding thereto in the real car performs the function of fixing containers.
  • the pair of carriages 3 is mounted on both sides of the vehicle main body 2 , and couplers (connector) are respectively mounted on beams at their ends.
  • the container 4 A made of plastic has a hollow box shape whose bottom is only opened, and has a design and coloring in an actual container reproduced by printing or coating on its outer surface.
  • the container 4 A shown in FIG. 1 is of a 5 t container type that imitates a 5 t container. Although a maximum of five containers 4 A can be mounted on the loading surface, the number of containers to be mounted is left to the selection of the user.
  • the containers 4 A are fixed to the vehicle main body 2 with the mounting members 5 A inserted into the mounting holes 2 b sandwiched therebetween.
  • One set of mounting members 5 A is required to mount one container 4 A. Therefore, five sets of mounting members 5 A, i.e., ten mounting members 5 A are required in the case shown in FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the appearance of the mounting member 5 A.
  • a bottom portion 50 and a raised portion 51 are connected to each other in a substantially L shape.
  • the raised portion 51 rises vertically upward from the horizontal and planar bottom portion 50 .
  • the bottom portion 50 is in a rectangular shape corresponding to the shape of the upper opening of the mounting hole 2 b , and an area below the bottom portion 50 is an insertion area inserted into the mounting hole 2 b .
  • a lower engagement portion 52 is provided within the insertion area, i.e., just below the bottom portion 50 .
  • the lower engagement portion 52 has an engagement shape vertically projecting along the vehicle length Y and engages with a predetermined engagement area (the engagement area has an engagement shape corresponding to the lower engagement portion 52 ) on the side of the vehicle main body 2 from the viewpoint of suppressing the wall thickness of the vehicle main body 2 along the vehicle width X.
  • the lower engagement portion 52 is composed of a pair of curved claws opposed to each other along the vehicle length Y and opposed while being curved inward toward each other.
  • Each of the curved claws has a substantially semicylindrical shape whose circular arc extends along the vehicle width X.
  • the pair of curved claws grips a projecting engagement portion 2 d , on the side of the vehicle main body 2 , having a round shaped-cross section, and engagement therebetween causes the mounting member 5 A to be fixed in the mounting hole 2 b .
  • the pair of curved claws is formed so as to project inward along the vehicle length Y.
  • the suppression of the wall thickness of the mounting member 5 A along the vehicle width X is advantageous from the viewpoint of inhibiting interference with the carriage 3 (see FIG. 4 ). Even if the wall thickness of the frame 2 a itself is small, as in the model container freight car 1 , mounting on the model container freight car 1 is possible without degrading reality as a model. Furthermore, when the pair of curved claws is used as the lower engagement portion 52 , the downward projection amount H of the lower engagement portion 52 can be also suppressed. This can result in more effective inhibition of the interference with the carriage 3 .
  • An upper engagement portion 53 is provided above the insertion area, i.e., in the vicinity of the top of the raised portion 51 .
  • the upper engagement portion 53 projects in a convex shape outward along the vehicle width X, similarly to the conventional non-removable projecting claws, and engages with projections or depressions formed on an inner side surface of the hollow-shaped container 4 A, as shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the container 4 A is mounted, the container 4 A is set from above to the pair of mounting members 5 A existing at a position where the container 4 A attempts to be mounted. This causes an outward projection composing the upper engagement portion 53 to engage with the projections or depressions formed on the inner side surface of the hollow-shaped container 4 A, to hold the container 4 A from the inside.
  • an engagement force of the lower engagement portion 52 is made greater than an engagement force of the upper engagement portion 53 , it is possible to effectively prevent the mounting member 5 A from slipping off the mounting hole 2 b in removing the container 4 A.
  • An intermediate area, below the upper engagement portion 53 , in the raised portion 51 is provided with a sideward projection portion 54 projecting outward along the vehicle width X, and a form that imitates the shape of the appearance of the folding type binding apparatus mounted on the real car is represented in the sideward projection portion 54 .
  • the sideward projection portion 54 enters a clearance (gap) between the container bottom and the frame 2 a so that the sideward projection portion 54 is exposed to the outside. This allows the representation of the folding type binding apparatus in the sideward projection portion 54 to be viewed from the outside.
  • the forming color of the mounting member 5 A may be the same as that of the vehicle main body 2 from the viewpoint of reality.
  • Parts that are removably mounted on the mounting holes 2 b will be then described.
  • a plurality of types of parts is prepared as selectable parts.
  • the user selects the part conforming to a form to be reproduced and employs the selected part, so that various forms such as forms at the time of loading of the 5 t container, the time of loading of a container other than the 5 t container, and the time of non-loading of containers can be represented.
  • the mounting member 5 A is used as a first part, as described above.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the appearance of a second part 5 B.
  • the second part 5 B functions as a mounting member, similarly to the first part 5 A shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the sideward projection portion 54 that imitates the folding type binding apparatus in the first part 5 A does not exist.
  • the reason for this is that in the case of a container 4 B that imitates a 10 t container, no clearance exists between the container bottom and the frame 2 a and the second part 5 B is almost covered with the container 4 B, as shown in FIG. 6 .
  • the other configuration of the second part 5 B is also the same as that of the first part 5 A including the existence of the upper and lower engagement portions 52 and 53 .
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective exploded view of a model container freight car (at the time of loading of the 10 t container) using the second part 5 B.
  • the container 4 B that imitates a 10 t container is larger in size than the above-mentioned container 4 A (provided that one of the sizes along the vehicle length Y of both the containers 4 A and 4 B is not integral multiples of the other size).
  • a maximum of three containers 4 B as shown in FIG. 6 can be mounted on the loading surface.
  • the containers 4 B are fixed to the vehicle main body 2 with the mounting members 5 B inserted into the mounting holes 2 b sandwiched therebetween, one or two sets of mounting members 5 B are used for mounting one container 4 B.
  • the second part 5 B is also used in mounting a 40 f container, a 31 f container, and so on in addition to the 10 t container.
  • the container is mounted with the second part 5 B inserted in the case of the conventional product in which the slit-shaped cutout portions exist.
  • the container 4 B is mounted, after the second part 5 B is removed, on an area where interference with the wall of the container occurs in the case of an improved product in which such cutout portions do not exist.
  • the second part 5 B is also used in mounting the 5 t container (the conventional product) in which the form of the folding type binding apparatus is represented.
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the appearance of a third part 5 C.
  • the third part 5 C differs from the parts 5 A and 5 B, described above, in that it is used for not mounting a container but reproducing a state at the time of non-loading of containers.
  • the third part 5 C is also removably mounted on the mounting hole 2 b , and has the lower engagement portion 52 , described above. However, the upper engagement portion 53 does not exist. Instead, an upper projection portion 55 in which the form of the folding type binding apparatus is represented is provided above the insertion area. Since the third part 5 C does not have the function of engagement with the container, the projection height thereof can be suppressed to a projection height at which the folding type binding apparatus is scaled down above the insertion area.
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective exploded view of a model container freight car (at the time of non-loading of containers) using the third part 5 C.
  • the third part 5 C is inserted into the mounting hole 2 b at a position where the container is not mounted. This causes the form of the folding type binding apparatus to be faithfully reproduced as a detail and causes the projection height thereof to be a projection height at which the actual folding type binding apparatus is scaled down. This is a great advantage over the conventional non-removable projecting claws from the viewpoint of reality.
  • FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state where a fourth part 5 D used as a mounting member is mounted in order to reproduce a state at the time of loading of a tank container 4 A.
  • the tank container 4 C has a cylindrical tank transversely placed therein. Therefore, the tank container 4 C differs from the above-mentioned box-shaped containers 4 A and 4 B in that an inner side surface of the container is not positioned above the mounting hole 2 b . Therefore, in the fourth part 5 D, the paired lower engagement portions 52 opposed to each other along the vehicle width X are connected to each other, and the center of an area where the lower engagement portions 52 are connected is projected upward to form the upper engagement portion 53 .
  • the upper engagement portion 53 is inserted into a mounting hole provided at the bottom of the tank container 4 C and fixed thereto.
  • a state where various types of containers are mixed can be faithfully reproduced. If the part 5 C is further combined therewith, a state where the containers are spaced apart when loaded can be also faithfully reproduced.
  • the conventional non-removable projecting claws are replaced with the mounting member 5 , and the mounting member 5 is provided as separate parts that are removably mounted on any of the mounting holes 2 b .
  • the mounting member 5 is not mounted on the mounting hole 2 b that interferes with the wall of the container. This eliminates the occurrence of interference itself with the container, which becomes a problem in the case of the conventional projecting claws, thereby eliminating the need for the slit-shaped cutout portions provided on the front and rear surfaces of the container of this type. This can result in improvement in the reality of the container freight car 1 on which the 40 f container is mounted.
  • the mounting member 5 as separate parts, there can be provided a plurality of types of parts 5 A to 5 D that can be selected by the user. Leaving the selection of the parts 5 A to 5 D to the user allows accurate reproduction of any of various types of forms such as forms at the time of loading of a 5 t container, the time of loading of a 10 t container, the time of loading of a tank container, the time of mixed-loading of various types of containers, the time of non-loading of containers, and the time of loading of a part of a container. This can result in improvement in the reality of the model container freight car 1 or the reality of the 40 f container itself, as compared with those of the conventional product on which the non-removable projecting claws are mounted.
  • the form of the folding type binding apparatus is represented in the first part 5 A. Therefore, the forming color of the first part 5 A enables the folding type binding apparatus and the vehicle main body 2 to be easily in the same color.
  • the form of the folding type binding apparatus is represented on the side of the container, so that the form of the folding type binding apparatus is basically represented in the same color as that of the container (in the real car, the folding type binding apparatus is in the same color as that of not the container but the container freight car).
  • an area where the form of the folding type binding apparatus is represented must be coated.
  • the present embodiment is advantageous in that such coating work is not required.
  • the lower engagement portion 52 has an engagement shape deformed so as to vertically project along the vehicle length Y. Therefore, the present embodiment has the effect of effectively preventing interference with the carriage 3 in addition to the effect of reducing the wall thickness of the mounting member 5 along the vehicle width X. This effect is particularly effective in a form in which the vehicle main body 2 is mainly composed of the frame 2 a . Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the lower engagement portion 52 is composed of the pair of curved claws opposed to each other along the vehicle length Y. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the downward projection amount H of the lower engagement portion 52 to effectively prevent the interference with the carriage 3 .
  • FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the appearances of parts according to the present embodiment.
  • the present embodiment differs from the above-mentioned first embodiment in only the shape of a lower engagement portion 52 ′.
  • the same portions as those in the first embodiment are assigned the same reference numerals and hence, the description thereof is not repeated herein.

  • the outward projections of the projecting claws engage with a lower edge of the mounting hole 2 b .
  • the parts 5 A′ to 5 C′ are fixed to the mounting hole 2 b.
  • the lower engagement portion 52 ′ has an engagement shape vertically projecting along the vehicle length Y. This can effectively prevent interference with a carriage 3 in addition to reducing the wall thicknesses of the parts 5 A′ to 5 C′ along the vehicle width X. Since the outward projections must be formed in the present embodiment, however, it is feared that the downward projection amount H of the lower engagement portion 52 ′ increases. On this point, the engagement structure using the curved claws as in the first embodiment is superior.
  • model container freight car with an HO gauge was described as an example in the above-mentioned embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the same.
