BG731Y1 - Structure of a maze - Google Patents

Abstract

The structure is used in the advertising and entertainment industries. It is simplified, comprising modular elements and is designed to be displayed in open-air and outside areas in urban areas, roadside terrains and recreational zones. It comprises flat panels (1), vertical (2) and upper horizontal (3) supports. The vertical supports (2) comprise four profile elements of rectangular cross section and slits (2A) and three securing ring-type brackets. The structure is built from the vertical (2) and upper horizontal (3) supports, the arc-type ending part of supports (3) is inserted into the upper part of the profile elements of rectangular cross-section and slits (2A). The upper horizontal supports should connect any vertical support to the surrounding vertical supports. In the joints, formed between the four rectangular profiles with slit (2A), the ends of the flat panels (1) are inserted. The securing of the tightening ring-type brackets ensure the fixing of the ends of the flat panels to the vertical supports.

Description

Technical field

The utility model refers to a modular maze construction that is used in the advertising and entertainment industries for outdoor and indoor areas, settlements, roadside areas, and leisure and recreation areas.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The maze is a system of intricate corridors. "Labyrinth" is a name given by ancient Greeks and Romans to buildings located wholly or partly underground, containing chambers and passageways that hinder the exit. Later, labyrinths appear in gardens containing intricate aisles formed by tall bushes.

In the 20th century, labyrinths were a popular form of entertainment in Europe and Japan. Many commercial mazes are emerging in amusement parks. Commercial mazes in Europe are traditionally made of shrubs, and those in Japan are made of wooden walls, supported by vertical pillars dangled in the ground. They do not allow the movement of the facility, but the configuration of the intricate corridors is possible.

Portable and demountable mazes are described in the following 2 patents:

US 5,474,501, Dec. 12, 1995, a disassemble maze is described which allows disassembly, assembly in any configuration, change of configuration. The labyrinth is made up of 4 main types of elements - connecting columns with channels, profile elements with rectangular sections, dividing surfaces with channels and connecting elements for the columns. The rectangular section elements are placed in the grooves of the dividing surfaces.

The vertical ends of the dividing surfaces enter the grooves of the connecting pillars with grooves. The connecting pillars are connected vertically to each other by means of pillars. The patent described is the closest known solution (prototype).

US 5,364,311, Nov. 15, 1994, a folding maze is described, the construction of which allows rotation of the barrier panels about a vertical axis to provide a change in configuration.

The technical nature of the utility model

The task of the utility model is to create a static modular design that has areas for the placement of graphical information, realized as a maze made of planes lying in parallel planes or in planes having 90 ° angles between them for people in the formed corridors, to be built in different places, to occupy different sizes and configuration of the area, to allow easy change of the configuration of the corridors, to be built of elements that are cheap and easy to manufacture st.

In accordance with the utility model, this problem is solved by constructing a maze consisting of planes usable for positioning graphical information interconnected by attaching them to vertical supports by squeezing the edges of the panels between elements of the vertical supports to whose upper parts are attached upper horizontal supports, connecting each vertical support to the surrounding vertical supports.

The advantages of the maze construction over the described prototype are that it allows for the complete removal of the panels, their rearrangement or replacement, without disturbing the structure constructed by the supports, in that it is made of elements that are cheap and easy to use. production, in that it is made of simplified elements, in that it guarantees greater stability due to the multiple horizontal supports.

Examples of implementation of the utility model

The construction of the maze is made up of the following elements: boards, vertical supports 2, upper horizontal supports 3.

In turn, the vertical supports consist of: four profile elements with rectangular section and slots 2A, three clamping brackets - rings 2B.

Initially, the structure is constructed from the vertical supports 2 and the upper horizontal supports 3, with a curved ending portion of the upper horizontal supports 3 entering the upper part of the profile elements with rectangular sections and slots 2A, with the upper horizontal supports connecting each vertical support with the surrounding vertical supports. For greater stability, lower horizontal supports may be used, which are similar to those of the upper horizontal supports 3 but are attached to the lower part of the vertical supports 2. The lower horizontal supports do not differ in type and size from the upper horizontal supports 3 They also connect each vertical support 2 to the surrounding vertical supports, but are positioned only where the plane 1 is placed directly above them.

The clamping rings 2B are loosened, allowing the joints formed between the four rectangular profiles with slots 2A to accommodate the edges of the plates 1. The operation is performed using flexible plates. The tightening of the clamping rings 2B ensures that the edges of the plates are attached to the vertical supports.

To counteract strong winds, the structure is attached to ground buckets or weights.

Plates 1 are also intended for placement of advertising. It may be printed on the surface of the boards or printed on a carrier to be lined on the boards 1.

The maze is constructed according to a scheme illustrating a number of intricate corridors.
