Abstract

The toy with parachute has two arms (26) forming grip, hinged to a head (2) and on which acts a spring (3) to cause the spacing of the arms. At the lower end of each arm there is hinged a large panel (28) on which acts the air pressure and to which are fixed the ties (64) of the parachute. The panels have extensions (29) extending upwardly and engaging, in the closed position of the grip, with a corresponding portion (24a) of the arms The head is carried by a support above the grip. To use the toy, the parachute is arranged inside the grip maintained in a closed position. Then the toy is thrown in the air. The air pressure acting on the panels prevents the opening of the grip or clip by the spring until the highest point of the trajectory is reached. Then the clip opens due to the action of the spring and the parachute opens out by the spacing of the arms and of the panels.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fallschirmspielgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a parachute game device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiges Fallschirmspielgerät weist eine Aufnahme- und Halteeinrichtung auf, an der ein Fallschirm befestigt ist und in der der Fallschirm untergebracht werden kann. Das Fallschirmspielgerät wird in die Luft geworfen oder mittels einer Abschußvorrichtung in die Höhe katapultiert, um im Bereich des Höhepunktes der Flugbahn den Fallschirm freizugeben und zum Boden zurückzuschweben.Such a parachute game device has a receiving and holding device to which a parachute is attached and in which the parachute can be accommodated. The parachute game device is thrown into the air or catapulted into the air by means of a launching device in order to release the parachute in the region of the peak of the flight path and to float back to the ground.

Aus der DE-C-700 901 ist bereits ein Fallschirmspielgerät bekannt, das zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundene Teile hat, zwischen denen ein Fallschirm angeordnet ist. Diese Teile haben eine nach außen gewölbte Form, so daß beim Hochschleudern des Spielgerätes die Teile vom Luftdruck zusammengedrückt werden. Ein Kopfteil dient beim Hochschleudern als untere Stabilisierungsfläche. Wenn das Fallschirmspielgerät seinen höchsten Flugpunkt erreicht, muß es sich in der Luft um 180° drehen, damit die die Fallschirmkammer bildenen Teile auseinanderklappen und der Fallschirm herausfallen kann.From DE-C-700 901 a parachute game device is already known which has two articulated parts, between which a parachute is arranged. These parts have an outwardly curved shape, so that the parts are compressed by the air pressure when the game device is thrown up. A head section serves as the lower stabilizing surface when flung up. When the parachute game device reaches its highest flight point, it must rotate in the air by 180 ° so that the parts forming the parachute chamber can expand and the parachute can fall out.

Aus der US-A-3 432 962 ist ein Luftspielzeug mit langgestreckten Flügeln bekannt, die an einem Basisteil derart verschwenkbar angeordnet sind, daß sie von einer von dem Basisteil radial nach außen gerichteten Lage um etwa 90° gedreht werden können, so daß sie mit ihren Längsseiten aneinander anliegen. Die Flügel sind von Gummibändern in Richtung der radialen Position beaufschlagt und werden in der zusammengefalteten Stellung von einem elastischen Band umschlungen, mit dem das Spielzeug in die Luft geschleudert wird. Dabei hält das elastische Band noch für eine kurze Zeitspanne das Spielzeug in der zusammengefalteten Stellung, bis die Flügel freigegeben und in radialer Richtung verschwenkt werden, in der das Spielzeug langsam zur Erde zurückschwebt.From US-A-3 432 962 an air toy with elongated wings is known, which are arranged pivotably on a base part in such a way that they can be rotated by approximately 90 ° from a position directed radially outwards from the base part, so that they can be rotated with their long sides lie against each other. The wings are acted upon by rubber bands in the direction of the radial position and are wrapped in the folded position by an elastic band with which the toy is thrown into the air. The elastic band keeps the toy in the folded position for a short period of time until the wings are released and pivoted in the radial direction, in which the toy slowly floats back to earth.

Aus der DE-C-378 590 ist ein Spielzeugfallschirm bekannt, dessen Schirmstangen beim Zusammenfalten des Fallschirmes eine Gummischeibe elastisch verformen. Wenn der zusammengefaltete Fallschirm in die Luft geworfen wird und sich wieder abwärts bewegt, bläst die Luft unter den Schirm und die Gummischeibe drückt den Schirm auseinander, wodurch er sich voll entfaltet.A toy parachute is known from DE-C-378 590, the umbrella rods of which elastically deform a rubber disc when the parachute is folded up. When the folded parachute is thrown into the air and moves downward again, the air blows under the umbrella and the rubber disc pushes the umbrella apart, causing it to fully deploy.

Diese bekannten Spielgeräte haben den Nachteil, daß sie sich nicht zwangsläufig zum gewünschten Zeitpunkt öffnen.These known play equipment have the disadvantage that they do not necessarily open at the desired time.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Freigabe des Fallschirmes nicht dem Zufall zu überlassen, sondern ein Fallschirmspielgerät anzugeben, bei dem der Fallschirm zuverlässig und zwangsläufig freikommt und sich sogleich entfaltet.The object of the invention is not to leave the release of the parachute to chance, but to provide a parachute game device in which the parachute is released reliably and inevitably and immediately unfolds.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Fallschirmspielgerät mit zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Teilen, die bei der Aufwärtsbewegung des Fallschirmspielgeräts durch Luftdruck zusammengehalten werden, und einem zwischen diesen Teilen angeordneten und an ihnen befestigten Fallschirm erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Teile an ihren einen Enden in Form einer Zange gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind, wobei im Bereich dieses Gelenks eine die Teile beaufschlagende Federeinrichtung vorgehen ist, und an ihren anderen Enden mit Luftandruckflächen verbunden sind, deren freie Endabschnitte Ösen bzw. Haken zum Haltern und Öffnen des Fallschirms aufweisen.This object is achieved according to the invention in a parachute game device with two articulated parts which are held together by air pressure during the upward movement of the parachute game device and a parachute arranged between these parts and fastened to them in that the parts at one end in the form of pliers are connected to one another in an articulated manner, a spring device acting on the parts being used in the region of this joint and being connected at their other ends to air pressure surfaces, the free end sections of which have eyelets or hooks for holding and opening the parachute.

Durch diese Ausbildung ist sichergestellt, daß bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Fallschirmspielgerät die die Haltevorrichtung für den Fallschirm bildenden Teile beim Hochwerfen des Spielgerätes - im Normalfall auf eine Flughöhe von ca. 6 bis 12 m - geschlossen bleiben, da der auf die verbreiterten Luftandruckflächen ausgeübte Luftdruck die Öffnungskraft der Federeinrichtung übersteigt. Wenn das Fallschirmspielgerät jedoch den Höhepunkt seiner Flugbahn erreicht, verringert sich der Druck auf die Luftandruckflächen rapide, so daß die im Bereich des Gelenks angeordnete Federeinrichtung die Teile öffnet. Durch die sich spreizenden Teile wird der Fallschirm zwangsläufig entfaltet und das Fallschirmspielgerät seinem Zweck entsprechend zum Boden zurückschweben. Dabei können die Luftandruckflächen mit den Teilen starr verbunden sein und gleichzeitig als Haltegriff für das Fallschirmspielgerät dienen.This design ensures that in the parachute game device according to the invention, the parts forming the holding device for the parachute when the game device is thrown up - normally at an altitude of about 6 to 12 m - remain closed, since the air pressure exerted on the widened air pressure surfaces causes the opening force the spring device exceeds. However, when the parachute game device reaches the peak of its trajectory, the pressure on the air pressure surfaces decreases rapidly, so that the spring device arranged in the region of the joint opens the parts. Due to the expanding parts, the parachute is inevitably deployed and the parachute game device floats back to the ground according to its purpose. The air pressure surfaces can be rigidly connected to the parts and at the same time serve as a handle for the parachute game device.

Unmittelbar oberhalb des Gelenks kann ein Kopfteil angeordnet sein, das beispielsweise als Gummiball ausgebildet sein kann, das den Schwerpunkt des Fallschirmspielgerätes nach vorne bringt und den Aufprall des Spielgerätes auf dem Boden auffängt. Die im Bereich des Gelenks angeordnete Federeinrichtung kann dabei das Kopfteil in der vorgesehenen Lage halten.A head part can be arranged directly above the joint, which can be designed, for example, as a rubber ball, which brings the center of gravity of the parachute game device to the front and absorbs the impact of the game device on the ground. The spring device arranged in the region of the joint can hold the head part in the intended position.

Vorteilhafterweise können die Luftandruckflächen an den Teilen angelenkt sein und je einen nach oben verlaufenden Hebel und eine Einhakeinrichtung aufweisen, die im geschlossenen Zustand der Teile jeweils ineinandergreifen und ein Verschlußmoment ausüben, das zunächst größer als das in Öffnungsrichtung wirkende Moment der Federeinrichtung ist. Dabei kann in dem den unteren Endabschnitt der Teile überdeckenden Bereich der Luftandruckflächen je eine Aussparung ausgebildet sein, und im Bereich des Gelenks kann ein Abschußhaken für das Spielgerät befestigt sein. Ein derart ausgebildetes Fallschirmspielgerät kann mit Hilfe einer Abschußvorrichtung hochgeschossen werden, so daß es eine erheblich größere Höhe erreicht. Dabei wird das Spielgerät durch die Aussparungen in den Luftandruckflächen hindurch im unteren Bereich der Teile gehalten, die als Griff verstärkt ausgebildet sind. Die Ausbildung der Luftandruckflächen als Verschlußhebel bewirkt durch Übersetzung eine größere Verschlußkraft. Deshalb kann eine kräftigere Öffnungsfeder an dem Gelenk vorgesehen werden, durch die am oberen Punkt der Flugbahn ein noch schnelleres Öffnen des Fallschirms erreicht werden kann.Advantageously, the air pressure surfaces can be articulated on the parts and each have an upwardly extending lever and a hooking device, which each engage in the closed state of the parts and exert a locking moment that is initially greater than the moment of the spring device acting in the opening direction. A recess can be formed in the region of the air pressure surfaces covering the lower end section of the parts, and a launching hook for the game device can be fastened in the region of the joint. Such a parachute game device can be shot up with the help of a launcher so that it reaches a considerably greater height. The game device is held through the cutouts in the air pressure surfaces in the lower region of the parts, which are reinforced as a handle. The formation of the air pressure surfaces as a locking lever causes a greater locking force through translation. Therefore, a stronger opening spring can be used the joint are provided, through which an even faster opening of the parachute can be achieved at the upper point of the flight path.

Weiter kann mit Vorteil vorgesehen sein, daß die gelenkig verbundenen Teile an einem Kopfhalter an zwei Ösen angelenkt sind und daß die Teile durch je zwei Federn, die an dem Kopfhalter und an den Teilen befestigt sind, gespreizt werden.It can also be advantageously provided that the articulated parts are articulated on a head holder to two eyelets and that the parts are spread by two springs which are attached to the head holder and to the parts.

Eines der beiden Teile kann als längliche flache Schale geformt sein, wobei das andere Teil entweder auch gewölbt oder flach ausgeführt ist und . den Fallschirm in das andere Teile hineindrückt.One of the two parts can be shaped as an elongated flat shell, the other part being either curved or flat and. pushes the parachute into the other part.

Es kann auch mit Vorteil vorgesehen sein, daß der Fallschirm in einen Zwischenraum zwischen den Luftandruckflächen, an denen er über Bänder jeweils zur Hälfte befestigt ist, aufnehmbar ist. Es kann auch zweckmäßig sein, zwischen den Teilen eine Aufnahmekammer für den Fallschirm zu befestigen. Dabei können die gelenkig verbundenen Teile an einem Verbindungsteil jeweils an Ösen angelenkt sein, während die Aufnahmekammer ebenfalls an dem Verbindungsteil angelenkt ist.It can also be advantageously provided that the parachute can be accommodated in an intermediate space between the air pressure surfaces, to which it is fastened in half by straps. It may also be useful to attach a parachute receiving chamber between the parts. The articulated parts can each be articulated on a connecting part to eyelets, while the receiving chamber is also articulated on the connecting part.

Weiter kann es den Spielwert des Fallschirmspielgeräts erhöhen, die Teile über das Gelenk hinaus scherenförmig zu verlängern, wobei die verlängerten Abschnitte eine Aufnahmekammer bilden. In dieser Aufnahmekammer kann entweder der Fallschirm oder ein anderer Gegenstand untergebracht sein, der beim Öffnen der Teile und der verlängerten Abschnitte freikommt.Furthermore, it can increase the play value of the parachute game device to extend the parts in a scissor-like manner beyond the joint, the extended sections forming a receiving chamber. Either the parachute or another object which is released when the parts and the extended sections are opened can be accommodated in this receiving chamber.

Die Luftandruckflächen können zweckmäßigerweise auch jeweils mindestens eine zusätzliche Luftandruckfläche aufweisen. Dadurch können die die gelenkig verbundenen Teile schließenden Kräfte noch weiter erhöht werden.The air pressure surfaces can expediently also each have at least one additional air pressure surface. As a result, the forces closing the articulated parts can be increased even further.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Fallschirmspielgerät ist ein zwangsläufiges Öffnen des Fallschirmes zum gewünschten Zeitpunkt sichergestellt. Der Fallschirm, der mit seinen Befestigungsleinen am unteren Ende der gelenkig verbundenen Teile oder der Luftandruckflächen befestigt ist, wird in den vorgesehenen Raum zwischen den Teilen oder den Luftandruckflächen eingelegt, woraufhin die Teile zusammengedrückt und hochgeworfen oder hochgeschossen werden. Während der Aufwärtsbewegung bewirkt der auf die Luftandruckflächen wirkende Luftdruck, daß die Teile geschlossen bleiben, wobei die Federeinrichtung entsprechend abgestimmt ist. Die Teile öffnen sich erst im Endbereich der Aufwärtsbewegung und geben den Fallschirm frei. Durch das Einhaken der an den angelenkten Luftandruckflächen angesetzten Hebel wird eine Kraftübersetzung für die Luftandruckfläche am hinteren Schenkelteil am Anfang des Öffnungsvorganges erreicht.In the parachute game device according to the invention, an inevitable opening of the parachute is ensured at the desired time. The parachute, which is attached with its fastening lines to the lower end of the articulated parts or the air pressure surfaces, is inserted into the space provided between the parts or the air pressure surfaces, whereupon the parts are pressed together and thrown up or shot up. During the upward movement, the air pressure acting on the air pressure surfaces causes the parts to remain closed, the spring device being matched accordingly. The parts only open in the end area of the upward movement and release the parachute. By hooking the levers attached to the articulated air pressure surfaces, a force transmission for the air pressure surface on the rear leg part is achieved at the beginning of the opening process.
