Definitions

  • This invention relates to playthings and more particularly to a steerable toy vehicle of the "push-along" kind.
  • Toy vehicles havingdirigible - that is to say, steerable- ground engaging wheels are known ; in this day and age such toy vehicles are usually electrically, or even electronically controlled and are generally expensive playthings.
  • the present invention consists in means for steering a "push-along" toy vehicle having at least a pair of dirigible, ground-engaging wheels ; the means including a telscoping steering column ; a steering wheel mounted on one end of said telescoping steering column for bringing about rotation thereof ; the other end of the telescoping steering column being steerably coupled to the axle of a said pair of dirigible, ground-engaging wheels.
  • a toy vehicle is referenced 10.
  • the illustrated toy vehicle is a semi-trailer but it could well be a motorcar, a truck, a bus, a tank, or even a locomotive, providing it has at least a pair of dirigible, ground-engaging wheels, as 11.
  • Toy vehicle 10 is provided with means for steering it, including a steering column comprising two mutually-teles elements 12 and 13 > ideally fabricated from flexible plastic tubing.
  • Element 12 should be a "push-fit", or “friction-fit” in element 13 so that, in the event bhat the toy vehicle 10 collides with some solid or immovable obstacle, the steering column will telescope in on itself and/or flex so that injury to the young user is extremely unlikely.
  • a steering wheel 14 rigidly affixed to steering column element 12 so that turning steering wheel 14. will rotate the whole steering column- together with the pair of dirigible road wheels 11.
  • the push-fit of element 12 in element 13 must have a suff coefficient of fruction so that element 12 will not turn in element 13» while not preventing their telescoping act
  • the two telescoping tubes 12 and 13 are ideally of rectangular cross-section.
  • steering column 12,13 is able to telescope, say from a length of substantially 1.5 metres to a length of about 1 metre.
  • the lower end of the telescoping steering coJumn 12, 13 is steerably coupled to the front axle of the toy vehicle 10.
  • this steerable coupling is a rack-and-pinion arrangement, although linkage-arm steering of Akermann kind is nevertheless contemplated.
  • a simulated instrument panel 15 may be mounted on steering column element 12, while such a warning means as, say , a bulb horn c ⁇ culd well be incorporated.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un organe de direction pour un jouet représentant un véhicule (10) qu'on fait avancer en poussant et qui comporte au moins une paire de roues orientables (11) en contact avec le sol. L'organe est constitué par une colonne de direction télescopique composée de deux éléments coulissants de façon télescopique l'un dans l'autre (12, 13). Le premier élément (12) est conçu de façon à s'adapter par pression ou par friction dans le second élément (13), de sorte que, en cas de collision du jouet (10) avec un obstacle solide ou immobile, la colonne de direction se replie de façon télescopique sur elle-même et/ou fléchit, limitant ainsi au maximum le risque de blessure à l'utilisateur.
