Description

The track system of a tabletop carrying a toy ban "

It is well known that it is desirable to set up ₉ toy train tracks on tables, the table top of which can be folded up from the table frame into the vertical position after the game has ended, so that the table can be transferred to another Zwedk. Not only are folding table tops with swivel hinges in mind, but also the free pivoting of the play board, which is therefore attached to the table frame or which is even to be placed away from the table frame on another piece of furniture or on a house wall

It is furthermore desirable that the game be interrupted This expectation has so far been countered by the knowledge of the fact that the vehicles are decoupled and

must be lifted off the track and stowed away individually · This is time consuming. In addition, this compulsion drags them in a hurry There is a risk of toys being damaged in the process · Trailer hitches are bent, occasionally in so small that it is not noticeable, but causes disruptions to the operation of the vehicle, the causes of which are difficult to locate are"

This finding was the basis for the task to be able at any time to play quickly, waobei it matters _t the toy invisible to machenund it at a different location to accommodate the possible in narrow rooms

It takes up little space, and above all as little horizontal space as possible »This wish leads to the necessity of being able to tilt the tabletop 90 or even 180 so that it or a second tabletop can be used for other purposes. Nothing or, if possible, little should be touched on the toy. Above all, however, the rolling stock should remain unmolested, z «, B _{0 in} order to avoid bending the trailer hitches. According to the invention, this object is achieved by a device for detecting and holding the vehicles, consisting of spring-loaded jaws in the form of a building roof, e.g. a platform roof, which are spring-loaded in the sense of holding, but can be manually moved away from the vehicle against the suspension, whereby in a further embodiment of the invention it can be provided that an over-center suspension fixes one or both roof end positions.

In this case, a clamping device is used that exercises a representational function that contributes to the stimulus to play, so the second effect cannot be seen, bww. from which one does not expect an operational effect.

The drawing shows an exemplary embodiment schematically simplified in cross section. On the table T lays the track for the vehicles F «the foundation 3 of the roof 1b protrude upwards in the direction P pivotable columns 1a, on which the in Rientur. £ R swiveling hand lever 1c are attached «, The roof 1b is covered with foam 2 at the bottom. The abutment 3a is based

the pillar 1a. If the hand lever 1c is pivoted in the direction R, the tension spring 5 jumps over the dead center of this over-center lock away. The roof that descends on the vehicles 1b, 2 presses the vehicles onto the track under spring load and holds them gently - secured against damage, so that the table tilted by 90 can be carried away without the vehicles falling off him.
