Description

The present invention relates generally to means for playing with engine running sounds, and more particularly Operating instruments that are suitable for making the noises of an engine-noisy toy so that it got used to Operating play of an engine is reproduced.

Usually one of the motorized noise toys used according to the state of the art was a direct mechanical one. Compound with an encircling member, such as _β of a wheel axle when the wheel is thus turned, engine noise was generated, and was not independently of the wheel movement are influenced "Y / eiterhin such an operation, of course, not correspond to the actual operating

an engine on a vehicle; such as a motorcycle. For example works both when starting and when the engine is idling

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention a device for imitating the noise of a running internal combustion engine, especially for toys, which is suitable for regulating such noises in such a way that the normal operating game of a motor is reproduced «

Further objectives in creating such a device are the requirement for an externally removable key connection for regulating the noise of the engine noise toy and in the ability to reproduce the usual operating clearance of an engine by rotating in a single direction.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following description and drawings; Refer to references which illustrate a preferred pattern exemplifying the present invention.

In general, the present invention includes a motorized noise toy that is operated by an electric motor supplied from an electric power source. The intensity and frequency of the noise produced by this device are proportional to the input voltage, Μ "· '' ■ " ^r

wrote. As described there and specifically shown in Figure 1, the engine noise emitter 21 contains a resonator 22, which is intended to emit internal combustion engine noises when excited, and a rotatably built-in clapper 25 which has at least one clapper attached to its circumference and with this is able to strike against the resonator 22 during the revolution 30 rotated spindle 27 are built around. The electric motor 30 is a direct current motor, so that the rotational speed of the spindle 27 is proportional to the input voltage to the electric motor 30. As a result, the engine noise mimic 21 generates sounds of an intensity and frequency that are proportional to the input voltage to the electric motor 30. {The electric motor 30 is connected to the power source 31 directly through a first line wire 32 and indirectly through a second line wire 33, which is connected to the regulating means 70. The regulating means 70 are in turn connected ^to the power source 31 by a third lead wire 34. The power source 31 contains a compartment 35 incorporated in the motor housing 50 j described below. This contains at least one battery 35, one electrode on the lead wire

The other battery electrode stretches against a metal clamp 3ö, the attached to the outer wall 39 of the compartment 35 and to the lead wire 34 is attached »The battery 36 is enclosed and supported by an inner wall 40 and an outer wall 39, on a removable cap 4-1 with the help of a lock 42 is attached. The cap 41 allows access to the battery 36 to replace it from time to time.

The engine noise mimic 21 and the electric motor 30 are enclosed in the motor housing 50 which in its external construction mimics a real motor and on a frame, e.g. a two-wheel or Di-e ir ad frame can grow. The motor housing 50 contains a rounded lower wall 51 which forms a chamber 52 on the inside. the Chamber 52 is partially enclosed by the compartment 35, the outer wall 39 and cap 41 form components of the housing. The chamber 52 is partially defined by a top wall 53 and a cylinder wall 54 attached thereto which mimics an actual cylinder wall of an air-cooled engine. A plurality of hangers 55 with holes 56 are attached to the housing 50 and are suitable for mounting the housing 50 on a frame. The cylinder core 54 is at the top by a head wall 57 covered, in which a mimicked spark plug 58 is used. The spark plug 58 is, to continue the illusion, by an ignition cable 60 with a mimicked distributor cap 59 connected, which sits on the compartment cap 41.

The electric motor 30 has a connection via the regulator 70 to the power source 31, as he / m suspected above. In addition, since the regulating means 70 are connected to the electric motor 30 and the power source 31 only by the lead wires 33 and 34, they can keep a considerable distance therefrom. The regulating means 70 can therefore be installed on the handlebars of a two-wheeler or three-wheeler. The R _o guliermittel 70 include a housing 71 having a bottom wall 72 and a rear wall 73 ". from which a cylinder flange 74 protrudes to the rear. The Elansch 74 has two aligned grooves 75 which are intended to receive the handlebars 76 of a two- or three-wheeler. Inside the flange 74 there is a toothed cut 77 in the rear wall 73, which is also suitable for receiving the handlebar 76 with a flexible band 78 (FIG. 2) secured by means of a flexible band 78 (FIG. 2). The band 78 is inserted through holes 79 in the rear wall. 73 and fastened around the handlebar 75 with the aid of bolts and nuts. The housing 71 also has a front wall 81 which is attached to the rear wall 73 by a rearwardly protruding flange 8,2 and by a rearwardly protruding socket 85; the flange 82 sits on shoulders 84 and 84 which are integrally formed on the rear wall 73 and the bottom wall 72, respectively; the socket 85 takes one on the rear wall 73

In the chamber 87 of the housing 71, a support plate 90 is built with two separate holes 91 through the screws 92 are inserted. To attach the holding board 90 to the "front wall 81, the screws 92 are screwed into posts 93, which protrude inward from the forehand 81. In addition, the holding board 90 is held by struts which protrude from the front wall 81 to the rear and clamp against the holding plate 90. Two separate cable lugs 95 are also connected to this, between which a resistance coil 96 is located. A base plate is also located between the conductor lugs 95 on the holding board 90. The base plate 97 contains an im substantial circular rim 98 near the resistance coil 96.

The disk 101 has a first contact finger 102 and a second contact finger 105, which are set up to touch the resistance coil 96 in a set order, which is determined by its contact with the base plate 97 during the rotation of the disk 101. A protrusion 103 on the first contact finger 102 can run on the base plate 97 during its rotation and fall into the groove 99 thereof after a predetermined angle of rotation. As an extension of the first contact finger 102 in the vicinity of the resistance coil 96, a bar 104 is kept away from it by means of the boss 103 when the latter is running on the base plate 97 (FIG. 7); the bar touches the resistance coil 96, however, when the projection 103 falls into the groove 99 (FIG. 8) can fall away from it.
