Rear axle of a chassis for a toy vehicle

Abstract

This rear axle of a chassis is suitable for installation in a toy vehicle which is operated as a track-guided vehicle on a raceway. The chassis has a front and rear axles and a guide wedge which is movable about a vertical pivot axle to cooperate with a groove on the track in the front area. The rear axle is driven by an electric motor, with the rear axle and the electric motor together forming a module. To optimize the driving properties of the toy vehicle, the module of the toy vehicle is held in position on a receptacle section of the chassis with the mediation of a guide arm-spring system.

1 . Chassis rear axle arrangement for a toy vehicle operated as a track-guided raceway vehicle having a front axle and a guide wedge movable about a vertical pivot axle cooperates with a track groove at a chassis front area, the rear axle driven by an electric motor which together form a module wherein the module is held in position on a receptacle section of the chassis via a guide arm-spring system.  
     
     
         2 . Chassis rear axle arrangement as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the guide arm spring system comprises at least one guide arm and at least one spring arm.  
     
     
         3 . Chassis rear axle arrangement as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the guide arm is arranged to extend between the module and the receptacle section in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and in a central longitudinal plane.  
     
     
         4 . Chassis rear axle arrangement as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the guide arm spring system comprises at least one guide arm and at least one spring arm.  
     
     
         5 . Chassis rear axle arrangement as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the guide arm is mounted on the module and the receptacle section of articulated joints.  
     
     
         6 . Chassis rear axle arrangement as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the articulated joints are film joints.  
     
     
         7 . Chassis rear axle arrangement as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the guide arm-spring system comprises two spring arms on sides of a central longitudinal axis of the vehicle.  
     
     
         8 . Chassis rear axle arrangement as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the guide arm is arranged to extend between the module and the receptacle section in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and in a central longitudinal plane.  
     
     
         9 . Chassis rear axle arrangement as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the at least one guide arm and at least one spring arm are connected to at least one of upright bearing sections of the module and the receptacle section.  
     
     
         10 . Chassis rear axle arrangement as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the at least one guide arm and the at least one spring arm are arranged on sides of a roll axle viewed from a side of the toy vehicle, said roll axle rising from bottom to top against a travel direction of the toy vehicle.  
     
     
         11 . Chassis rear axle arrangement as recited in  claim 10 , the at least one guide arm is situated above the roll axle, and the at least one spring arm is situated beneath the roll axle.
