COLLAPSIBLE ELECTRIC TRAIN SET Application filed December 14, 1931, Serial No. 580,807. Renewed February 18, 1933.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a collapsible electric train set.
The invention has for an object the 'con struction of an article as mentioned above which is. characterized by a container comprising a bottom, sides hingedly connected therewith, and a top hingedly connected to one of the sides, and a miniature railroad system secured down upon the sides and bottom and adapted to assume an operative posi-' tion when the contalner is opened upwith the sides and top in the same plane with the bottom.
As a further object of this invention it is proposed to connect the rails between the sides of the container with adjustable track sections adapted to be moved to, open and closed positions as the container is respectively in its open andclosed positions.
Furthermore, it is proposed to arrange grass mats along the edges of the sides adapted to engage in the corners when the sides are in the open position.
Furthermore, as another object, it is pros posed to arrange the adjustable track sections from several pieces pivotally connected and adapted to open and closein a manner simulating a hinge.
A still further object of this invention is the construction of an article of the class described which is of simple, durable construction, dependable in use and efficient in operation and which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.
For further comprehension of the invention and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and
to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure I Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a train set constructed according to this invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the train set in a completely open position.
Fig. 8 is an enlarged detailed view of an area'ofFig. 2, particularly in the vicinity of the ends of the sides forming the container.
Fig.4 is a fragmentary enlarged sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3. V
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view of a corner of the container shown in the closed position.
Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 3 but illustrating a modification of the invention.
Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken on the line 77 of Fig. 6.
Fig. 8 is a fragmentary plan view of one corner of the container in a closed position and illustrating the form of the invention shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
In Fig. 1 the container is shown in a completely closed position. It consists of a bot tom lOhavingsides cover 13 is hingedly connected upon the free end of one of the sides. A means is provided for detachably connecting the sides together so. as to hold the container in formation. This means comprises catchelements 14: and 15 upon adjacent edges of the sides adapted for co-action' to hold the sides together. Thecatch element 14 is formed with a removable pin 16 adapted to engage through lug portions in theelements top 13 closed. 1Alock 18 is also provided along these edges. Ahandle 19 is mounted upon the outer face of thecover 13 so that the container may be carried around as a grip. v
A miniature railroad system is mounted upon the bottom and sides of the top of the container and consists of tracks and suitable scenery together with the tracks. More particularly, arail system 20 is extended around upon thesides tunnel 21 upon one of theends 12, apassage 22 upon one of thesides 11 and alargetunnel 23 upon the bottom 10. Country scenery in the form of small houses, roads and woodlands are arranged around the tracks. A
At the junction where the tracks extend from the ones of thesides 11 to the ends of thesides 12, adjustable track sections are arranged so as to allow the container to assume a closed position and when in the open position permit connection of the tracks in a continuous fashion. The track system comprises a pair of spacedrails 27 and athird rail 28 therebetween. The adjustable track sections are indicated on the drawing byreference numerals 29 and are shown withpins 30 projecting from one of their ends and engaging inslots 31 and formed inlinks 32 pivotally mounted at 33 upon the ends of the main track. The free ends of thetrack sections 29 are formed withknife edges 34 adapted to engage withinfork portions 35 formed upon the ends of the main track with which theadjustable sections 29 engage. This arrangement allows thetrack sections 29 to be pivoted free from the junction between thesides Grass mats 36 are shown attached. upon the ends of thesides 11 and of sizes so as to fill in the corners between the sides of the container when the container is in the open position. When the container is closed, these grass mats are merely folded and disposed within it. 7
In Figs. 6 to 8 inclusive, a modification of the invention has been disclosed in which the adjustable track sections are shown to be composed of a pair oftrack portions 37 pivotally connected in end alignedrelation 38 and having theirouter ends 39 pivotally connected with the ends of the main track upon thesides track portions 37 to be moved inwards in a manner that a hinge moves when the container is moved to the closed position. Fig. 8 illustrates the closed position and it should be noted that thegrass mat 36 is dis posed in between thetrack portions 37 which hold the mat against free moving about within the container. Thlli the track port-ions 37 perform the double function of allowing the container to be opened and closed without interrupting the tracks and also holding the grass mats when the container is in the closed position so that they do not fall around freely within the container and become readily broken.
- The miniature railroad system may be supplemented with any of the auxiliaries known to such systems, such signals, switches and the like. In Fig. 2 of the drawings, thereference numeral 40 indicates an electrical switch to control the operation of trains of the miniature railroad system andnumeral 11 indicates a track switch so that an auxiliary track line may be connected with the line sh own in the drawings.
While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patents is 1.
