Coupling

A toy with a coupling for connecting two toy components, the toy comprising:

• a first coupling part connected to one of the two toy components
• a second coupling part connected to the other of the two toy components, wherein the two coupling parts, are connected to one another along a connecting axis such that said two coupling parts are rotatable relative to one another about said connecting axis, wherein one of the coupling parts comprises a receiving coupling part and said receiving coupling part comprises at least one locking guide receiving portion, said at least one locking guide receiving portion comprising a locking receiver extending in a peripheral direction about the connecting axis through more than 180°, wherein the other of the coupling parts comprises an insert coupling part and said insert coupling comprises at least two insert guide portions, said at least two insert guide portions being axially spaced apart from one another along the connecting axis and said at least two insert guide portions being guided radially in the receiving coupling part, at least said at least one locking guide receiving portion generating a snap in retaining function as at least one of said insert guide portions is inserted in said receiving coupling part, wherein a first insert guide portion is simultaneously a counter-locking portion, which is received so as to lock in the locking guide receiving portion of the receiving coupling part, wherein a second insert guide portion is provided, which is guided in a second guide receiving portion of the receiving coupling part, wherein the toy is one of a crane and a toy vehicle.

A coupling for connecting two toy components, the coupling comprising:

• a receiving coupling part connected to one of the two toy components, said receiving coupling part comprising a first inserting guide portion retaining portion and a second inserting guide portion retaining portion, said first inserting guide portion retaining portion defining at least a portion of a first retaining portion space, said second inserting guide portion retaining portion defining at least a portion of a second retaining portion space;
• an inserting coupling part connected to another one of the two toy components, said insert coupling part comprising a first inserting coupling guide portion and a second inserting coupling guide portion, said first inserting coupling guide portion being located at an axially spaced location from said second inserting coupling guide portion with respect to a longitudinal axis of said inserting coupling part, said first inserting guide portion retaining portion generating a first snap in retaining function as said first inserting coupling guide portion is inserted in said first retaining portion space, said second inserting guide portion retaining portion generating a second snap in retaining function as said second inserting coupling guide portion is inserted in said second retaining space, wherein said receiving coupling part is connected to said inserting coupling part such that said receiving coupling part and said inserting coupling part are rotatable relative to one another about said longitudinal axis.
