De nombreux petite trains utilisent des agrafes ou des dispositifs d' attache du type a crochets pour reunir les wagons du train ensemble. Les dispositifs d' attache du type a crochets permettent une plage de deplacement, mais ils necessitent generalement que l'utilisateur tire un levier ou une piece superieure chargee par ressort pour pouvoir ouvrir la partie de crochet pour separer les wagons du train. En outre, les agencements de dispositifs d' attache vent tous destines a Small trains and other vehicles that assemble to be towed or hauled during the well known wind game. Many small trains use staples or hook-type fasteners to join the train cars together. Hook-type fasteners allow for a range of movement, but generally require the user to pull a lever or top spring loaded part to be able to open the hook portion to separate the cars from the train. In addition, the arrangements of wind fasteners all intended for

Generalement les vehicules comportent un aimant a chaque extremite. Chaque aimant est presque identique, ainsi les aimants doivent etre capables de tourner ou de se deplacer d'une certaine facon pour s'aligner avec les poles opposes (nord/sud) d'un aimant d'un autre vehicule Certains de ces vehicules ont reuni les aimants aux vehicules par des chalnes ou des cordons qui ont permis une articulation semblable a un dispositif d' attache lors de la traction des vehicules, mais qui ne permettent pas Generally, vehicles have a magnet at each end. Each magnet is almost identical, so the magnets must be able to rotate or move in a certain way to align with the opposite poles (north / south) of a magnet from another vehicle Some of these vehicles have joined the magnets to the vehicles by chalnes or cords which allowed an articulation similar to a fastening device during the traction of the vehicles, but which do not allow

l'autre des elements semblables. En faisant reference aux dessins en detail, il est represente sur la figure 3 un ensemble de vehicule -jouet composite 1400 conformement a un premier mode de realisation prefere de la presente s invention. L' ensemble de vehicule -jouet composite 1400 comprend un premier vehicule constitutif 1480 comprenant un chassis comportant une partie pour cabine integree 1485, un element d'accouplement avant 1452 et un element d'accouplement arriere 1458. De preference, le premier vehicule -jouet constitutif 1480 est un chassis de camion comportant au moins deux roues 1487, mais de preference quatre roues 14870 Les roues 1487 tournent librement sur des essieux (non representes). Les roues 1487 comprennent egalement des elements d'accouplement lateraux 1487a, 1487b qui se trouve sous la forme d'une protuberance 1487b ou d'un evidement 1487a (figure 6) qui est configure en vue d'un accouplement lateral avec un autre the other similar elements. Referring to the drawings in detail, there is shown in Figure 3 a set of vehicle-composite toy 1400 in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The assembly of composite toy vehicle 1400 comprises a first constituent vehicle 1480 comprising a chassis comprising a part for an integrated cabin 1485, a front coupling element 1452 and a rear coupling element 1458. Preferably, the first toy vehicle constitutive 1480 is a truck chassis comprising at least two wheels 1487, but preferably four wheels 14870 The wheels 1487 rotate freely on axles (not shown). The wheels 1487 also include lateral coupling elements 1487a, 1487b which is in the form of a protuberance 1487b or a recess 1487a (FIG. 6) which is configured for lateral coupling with another
vehicule constitutif 1480 ou 1580.constituent vehicle 1480 or 1580.
L'ensemble de vehicule -jouet composite 1400 comprend en outre un premier accessoire de vehicule constitutif 1410 qui est configure en vue d'une fixation liberable au premier vehicule constitutif 1480 de facon a creer un nouveau vehicule presentant un aspect modifie par rapport au premier vehicule constitutif 14800 De preference, le premier accessoire de vehicule constitutif 1410 est la cabine dun camion de pompiers comportant une rampe lumineuse amovible 1412, des portes 1410a, des fenetres 1410b et une grille 1410c. Le premier accessoire de vehicule constitutif 1410 presente l' aspect dinn camion ou d'une grosse semi -remorque ou d'un camion du type a semi -remorque comportant des bandes et des emblemes de peinture rouge pour ressembler a un vehicule de pompiers. Le premier accessoire de vehicule constitutif ou cabine de camion 1410 comporte des 3s premiere et seconde moities de coques 1411a, 1411b qui s'ecartent en coulissant pour laisser place a un element d'espacement central dextension 1413 offrant a la cabine The composite toy vehicle assembly 1400 further includes a first component vehicle accessory 1410 which is configured for releasable attachment to the first component vehicle 1480 so as to create a new vehicle having a modified appearance compared to the first vehicle constitutive 14800 Preferably, the first constitutive vehicle accessory 1410 is the cabin of a fire truck comprising a removable light ramp 1412, doors 1410a, windows 1410b and a grid 1410c. The first component vehicle accessory 1410 has the appearance of a truck or a large semi-trailer or a truck of the semi-trailer type with bands and emblems of red paint to resemble a fire engine. The first constitutive vehicle accessory or truck cabin 1410 has first and second halves of hulls 1411a, 1411b which slide apart to make room for a central extension element 1413 providing the cabin
28411 4928411 49
du camion 1410 une largeur globale plus importante. De preference les moities de coques 1411a, 1411b vent espacees en tirant uniquement par la force de l'utilisateur, mais optionnellement un mecanisme de s liberation ou un actionneur peut etre employe pour bloquer de facon liberable les moities de coques 1411a, 1411b soit ensemble, soit de facon espacee sans s'ecarter de la presente invention. Lorsque la cabine de camion 1410 se trouve dans une position fermee c'est-a-dire que les moities de coques 1411a, 1411b vent rapprochees en poussant, la cabine de camion 1410 presente une largeur of the truck 1410 a greater overall width.
