Definitions

the invention is directed to a coupling device for connection of a toy vehicle with one pushed or pulled by it
Trailer vehicle such as an attachment, e.g. in form of Mower, trailer or the like, being on the pulling vehicle and Interlocking coupling parts on the trailer vehicle are arranged.
the connections should be easy to make and easy to detach, to the child playing no special skill requirements to make and make the connection quickly and releasably.
the coupling condition must be so stable that in particular with a fast, not so controlled movement or with when driving over an uneven surface, the engaged state is certain preserved.
the coupling device according to the invention relates in particular to such Trailers or additional units that are special due to their geometry need a stable coupling, for example because they are, such as a Tedder aggregate, are particularly wide, so that when driving over uneven Apply strong tilting moments to the coupling device.
the invention has for its object a coupling device specifically for such applications compared to known solutions improve.
one of the coupling parts formed as a horizontally arranged sleeve with a transverse wall which has an X-shaped, Y-shaped or cruciform recess, wherein the other coupling part is designed as a pin, the one Has X, Y or cross-shaped cross-section and into the recess engages in the sleeve bottom, and wherein locking elements are provided, which in the axial direction a lock in the fully inserted Ensure position.
the locking elements on both sides and at a distance from the coupling pin or sleeve are arranged. This lateral spacing makes one for the Stabilization of the coupling valuable lever arm realized.
the locking elements as essentially vertical spring tongues are formed, which in the area of their free outer End locking projections have the side approaches of the to be coupled Snap the trailer into place. It goes without saying that also a kinematic reversal of the locking elements described in the frame the invention is possible. This configuration enables, for example, with an additional unit in the form of a mower Drive through the wheels of the mower.
the spring tongues in the area of its free outer end beyond the locking projections actuating sections which enable the playing child to with the help of the thumb to easily release the catch.
the sleeve and the lugs of the locking device are in one housing-like vehicle part on a vertical end plate this Housing part arranged.
stop ribs can be provided there as a limitation of the angle of rotation his.
This housing part 1 has a rear vertical end plate 2, of which, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 3, a sleeve 3 extends inwards, which has a bottom or a transverse wall 4, with a cruciform recess 5 clearly visible in FIG. 2 of the housing part 1 and the end plate 2, locking projections 6 are formed.
the trailer vehicle 7 is an additional unit in Shape of a mower, the towing vehicle on which the Housing part 1 is arranged, is formed by a tractor.
a coupling pin 9 is attached, which is perpendicular from this wall 8 extends away and corresponds to a cross-shaped cross section to the recess 5, so that it, as in Fig. 1 and 4 shown, positively interspersed in the coupling state.
