Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to a child's vehicle, which can be, for example, a child's pedal vehicle, a motor-driven child's vehicle, or even an unpowered vehicle which is moved by a child on the ground by being pushed off.
  • the invention relates to a steering wheel designed in a special way for a children's vehicle.
  • the present invention has for its object to develop a children's vehicle so that its play value is increased.
  • the children's vehicle according to the invention contains an audio playback device which is integrated in the children's vehicle.
  • this audio playback device can be installed at any suitable location in the child's vehicle, for example at a suitable location in the body.
  • the audio playback device is arranged on the steering wheel or is integrated into the steering wheel, or on a steering rod if such is arranged on the children's vehicle instead of a steering wheel.
  • the audio playback device After pressing a push button or the like, the audio playback device preferably reproduces electronic noises, for example motor noises, so that, for example, the impression can arise that the children's vehicle is driven by a motor and is in busy traffic. Pressing the actuation button again turns the audio playback device off again. Through this background noise to be initiated by the child, playing with the vehicle can become considerably more attractive.
  • electronic noises for example motor noises
  • the audio playback device is arranged in a housing which is arranged approximately centrally in the steering wheel and is fastened to the steering wheel spokes.
  • the housing expediently has a removable cover so that, for example, a battery housed therein can be replaced.
  • the housing has the shape of a hexagon in plan with alternating shorter and longer sides, with three wheel spokes attached to the shorter sides.
  • the shorter and the longer sides of the housing each have approximately the same length, and the corners of the hexagon should be slightly rounded in order to avoid the risk of injury.
  • the audio playback device can contain a circuit board with electronic signals recorded thereon, a power source in the form of batteries or a rechargeable battery and a loudspeaker, which are electrically connected to one another and are preferably permanently installed in the housing.
  • the circuit board is designed in such a way that it continuously reproduces the sounds until it is switched off.
  • a different type of audio playback device for example a cassette player, which can be permanently installed in the housing.
  • a cassette player which can be permanently installed in the housing.
  • Such a player is considerably more expensive than the electronic player mentioned above, but has the advantage that the child can enter and play different tapes.
  • a miniature cassette player can be easily integrated into the steering wheel according to the invention.
  • any suitable audio playback device can be used.
  • the actuation button for the playback device or the playback device is expediently located on the cover of the housing, wherein an actuation button or an actuation button for a horn can additionally be arranged here.
  • the figures show a steering wheel 1 of a child's vehicle, not shown, which is connected via three spokes 2 to a sleeve-shaped section 3, which comprises a handlebar 4 of the child's vehicle and is non-rotatably connected thereto.
  • a housing 5 is fastened centrally within the steering wheel 1 and has a cylindrical section 6 that is open at the bottom and an overlying receiving space 8, closed by a removable cover 7, for an electronic audio playback device.
  • the cover 7 is in a lower position than the steering wheel 1 and preferably closes the receiving space 8 in a watertight manner.
  • the electronic audio reproduction device shown in FIG. 1 contains a circuit board 9 with the audio signals, batteries 10 with an associated holder 11 and a loudspeaker 12, these components being connected to one another by electrical lines 14.
  • the cover 7 which, like the associated housing 5, has the shape of a hexagon with alternately long sides 14 and short sides 15 in plan view, contains an actuation button 16 with which the playback device is started and switched off again, and a further push button 17, when they are pressed, a lifting sound is heard as long as this button is depressed. Both actuation buttons 16 and 17 are connected to the circuit board 9 by means of lines 18.
  • all components of the audio playback device are accommodated in a further housing 18, which has essentially the same shape as the receiving space 8, into which the housing 18 is inserted. Accordingly, this housing also has the hexagonal outline shape described above and is closed on all sides with the exception of holes in the base plate for the passage of the audio signals, a separate lateral receiving chamber 19 for the batteries having openings for exchanging them.
  • the two operating buttons 16 and 17 protrude from the top of the housing.
  • the operating buttons are made of a rubber-like material and pass through the holes in the above-mentioned cover 7 so that they sit in a light press fit therein, whereby the cover is held on the housing.
  • the cover 7 overlaps the edge of the receiving space 8 and thereby encloses the housing with the audio playback device in a watertight manner.
  • the housing with the audio playback device can be easily removed for the purpose of replacing the batteries by lifting off the cover with the housing held thereon.
  • the battery storage chamber is accessible by removing the cover.
  • the housing 18 is seated in a slight press fit in the receiving space 8.
