[0003] In response to this, FIG. 10 and FIG.
A connecting coupler for an articulated vehicle shown in FIG. 1 has been proposed. The articulated vehicle refers to a vehicle of a type in which the center of the connecting portion of the vehicle and the center of the bogie coincide with each other, and the outer shape of the connecting coupler is configured as a hollow. The coupling coupler is mainly composed of a frame 1 having four sides defined and a cross-shaped member 2 formed integrally with the inner surface of each side inside the rectangular frame 1, This cross-shaped member 2 was formed of a column-shaped vertical shaft portion 2a and a horizontal bar portion 2b provided substantially in the middle thereof.

On the other hand, a trolley 3 having two wheels installed on each side
Has a single shaft 3a rising from its upper center position, and this shaft 3a is connected to the vertical shaft portion 2 of the cross member 2 described above.
It is connected and fixed to the lower frame side of the rectangular frame 1 on the same central axis as that of FIG. Therefore, the truck 3
The shaft 3a extending from the shaft 3 and the vertical shaft portion 2a of the cross member 2 are formed as if they are a single shaft, and this shaft penetrates the frame 1 in the vertical direction to have such a structure.

A connecting arm 5 is fixed to an end of each articulated wheel 4. A circular concave portion, that is, a C-shaped engaging groove 5a is formed at the tip of the connecting arm 5. The connecting arms 5 fixed to both ends of the articulated vehicle 4 are provided with their upper and lower positions slightly shifted from each other. Each articulated wheel 4 to be connected is assembled in such a way that the ends with the connecting arms 5 whose mounting positions are shifted from one another face each other.

Accordingly, the connecting arm 5 provided at one end of the articulated wheel 4 is fitted and mounted on the vertical shaft portion 2a above the horizontal bar portion 2b from one opening surface of the frame 1, for example. A connecting arm 5 connected to the other end of the articulated wheel 4 facing the end of the articulated wheel 4 is connected to the lateral beam portion 2b from the opening surface on the opposite side of the frame 1.
The lower shaft portion 2a is fitted and attached to the lower shaft portion 2a.

When the engaging groove 5a formed at the tip of each connecting arm 5 is relatively fitted and mounted on the vertical shaft portion 2a in the frame 1, the two can relatively rotate, and the rotation thereof can be performed. The range is up to the position where the connecting arm 5 contacts the left and right frame sides of the frame 1. As a result, when the articulated vehicle 4 connected by such a conventional means travels on the rail 6, it can pass through a curve having a curvature calculated from this rotation range.

When the passenger cars 8, 8 are connected using the coupler 7 as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the holo connecting the passenger cars 8, 8 is thin. There was a need for a railway model that could only be mounted in a small form, was less sensible as a model, and was more realistic, including the hood.

Further, in the connecting coupler structure of the articulated vehicle shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the holo can be made intuitive. Since the radius of curvature at the curved portion is small, the end of the vehicle comes into contact with the frame 1 and, as a result, there is an inconvenience that the vehicle cannot pass through the curved curve.

Of course, if the length of the connecting arm 5 is increased to increase the distance between the ends of the articulated vehicle 4, such a curve can be passed, but this is very poor in appearance and is a product as a model railway. There is a problem of lack of sex. It is assumed that the railway model is produced as close to the actual vehicle as possible.

Further, in the conventional coupling coupler structure for a railway model connecting car, the connecting arm 5 substantially fitted and mounted on the shaft 3a rising from the bogie 3 is rotatable with respect to the shaft 3a. Since the connecting vehicle 4 is fixed to the connecting vehicle 4, there is no function of the connecting vehicle 4 moving away from the shaft 3a.

Therefore, when a railway model constituted by a plurality of articulated vehicles 4 connected by such a conventional connecting coupler structure is run on rails, the body is likely to swing from side to side, making vehicle running unstable and derailing. There was even fear of. That is, it was considered that such a problem occurred because the connecting arm 5 did not have a function of expanding and contracting with respect to the connecting vehicle 4 or the connecting arm 5 with respect to the shaft 3a.

Furthermore, in recent years, high-speed vehicles such as Shinkansen have adopted a type in which the coupler is not exposed to the outside, and from this point of view, the development of a new holo coupling device has been strongly desired.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem. The horo (hood) itself is configured as a connecting device to obtain a vehicle with a hood close to an actual vehicle.
An object of the present invention is to provide a holo connecting device for a railway model that facilitates connecting and releasing vehicles. In addition, the present invention makes it possible to extend and retract the holo connecting device so that the connecting surface interval approximates the actual vehicle scale during straight running and at a slight deflection angle (relative angle of the vehicle during running on a curve). A holo connecting device for a railway model that can be assembled, can be made narrower, and the connecting surface interval is widened when passing a curve, so that smooth running can be guaranteed without causing contact between corners inside the curve at the opposite end of the vehicle To provide.

The provision of the extension / contraction and swing mechanism 12 allows the holo coupling device to freely extend / contract and oscillate, and can be coupled when the vehicle is traveling straight or at a slight deflection angle (relative angle of the vehicle when traveling on a curve). The surface spacing can be reduced to the extent that it approximates the actual vehicle scale, and when passing through a curve, the connection surface spacing automatically widens, so that the corners inside the curve at the opposite end of the vehicle do not come into contact with each other and run smoothly. Can be guaranteed. In addition, the degree of expansion and contraction and the degree of swing of the holo connecting device can be increased, so that not only do the holo connecting devices not come off during running of the vehicle, but also the vehicle does not derail, and the structure is simple. It is possible to obtain a vehicle with a model model top which is similar to the shape and structure of an actual vehicle because it does not need to be incorporated into a bogie as in the prior art, can be assembled independently, has a simple assembling procedure, and has a similar shape and structure to an actual vehicle.

A cutout window 28 is provided at the outer lower part of the left and right side walls 27 of the floor plate 25 to widen the left and right swinging range of the expansion and contraction and swinging mechanism 12. For this reason, even when the vehicle travels on a sharp curve or the like, there is no fear that the pair of hollow connection bodies 10 are released or the vehicle is derailed.

Further, by providing the telescopic and swinging mechanism, the hollow connecting device can be freely extended and contracted and swung, and can be connected when the vehicle is running straight and at a slight deflection angle (relative angle of the vehicle when running on a curve). The surface spacing can be reduced to the extent that it approximates the actual vehicle scale, and when passing through a curve, the connection surface spacing automatically widens, so that the corners inside the curve at the opposite end of the vehicle do not come into contact with each other and run smoothly. Can be guaranteed.

Also, the degree of expansion and contraction and the degree of swing of the holo connecting device can be increased, so that the holo connecting devices do not come off from each other while the vehicle is running, and the vehicle does not derail. Is simple and does not need to be assembled into a bogie as in the past, can be assembled independently, is easy to assemble, and can provide a vehicle with a model model top that is similar in shape and structure to the actual vehicle. .
