Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coasting device.
  • Such coasting devices are in recent years known in a series of embodiments as well from metal as from plastic material. Different modifications have been produced round as well as oblong and provided with guiding ribs, brakeand steering arrangements, etc.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a further feature as to such coasting devices, whereby new ranges of use are possible for the children.
  • the invention relates to a coasting device of the kind which is provided with means arranged at the central axis thereof, whereby the device can be coupled to further such devices thereby to form a row or train of two or more coasting devices, the new and characterizing features being that each of these coasting devices has its rear edge so formed that at each side of the coupling means is a rest or engagement for one foot of a child sitting on the following coasting device.
  • the means whereby the coasting devices are coupled to each other preferably are so arranged that the coupling is locked when established.
  • FIG. 1 shows some coasting devices in coupled condition as seen from above
  • FIG. 2 shows two such coasting devices seen from the side.
  • Each of the coasting devices 1 shown in the drawing consists of a tray-formed somewhat longitudinally extended body, for example, made from plastic material.
  • Two steering ribs 2 are provided and in both ends there are projecting parts 3 respective 4 of the rim of the coasting device 1.
  • In the foremost projection 3 is a central aperture (not shown).
  • the rear projection 4 carries a downwardly extending pin 5 adapted for engagement into the aperture 3 of a following coasting device.
  • the coupling means shown are to be considered as an example only.
  • the means are preferably so arranged that they are more or less locked in coupled condition. This can be obtained by replacing the pin by a hook, so that the coasting devices will have to be hooked together before use.
  • the pin 5 can be provided with a head which has such form that it can be introduced in a corresponding aperture only in a mutual position of the coasting devices where they are swung out the maximum angle of mutual rotational movement. In the usual relative positions of the coasting devices the pin is, however, locked in the aperture. Also further modifications of the coupling means are possible falling within the scope of the invention.
  • the rear edge 6 of the coasting device is so formed that a good rest or support is obtained for the feet of the child sitting on the following coasting device.
  • the train of coasting devices can be steered in the desired direction.
  • a coasting device having a one-piece, molded, unitary construction, said device comprising:
  • an elongated generally dish-shaped rider supporting body having a bottom surface, a front end portion and a rear end portion, said rear end portion being disposed at a higher elevation relative to said bottom surface than said front end portion;
  • a coupling part at each of said end portions one of said parts comprising a vertical journal pin and the other part comprising means defining a bearing hole positioned for receiving therein the pin of an identical coasting device disposed in longitudinal alignment with said device, said parts being integral with their respective end portions;
  • a coasting device as set forth in claim ,1 said supporting body having an inclined upper surface disposed at an angle of inclination extending along the longitudinal axis of the device relative to said bottom surface such that the surfaces are closer together at said front end portion than they are at the rear end portion whereby the portions are disposed at different elevations.
  • a train of coasting devices comprising a plurality of attached, longitudinally aligned identical devices, each of said devices being as set forth in claim 1, the pin of at least one of the devices in the train being journalled into the bearing hole of an adjacent, longitudinally aligned device.
