Description

Assembled module

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a fabricated module, and more particularly, to a fabricated module including: which can be made of a lightweight material and which can feel a click feeling

Meanwhile, the characters can be combined with each other, so that the characters can be freely combined into various character arrangement or creative shapes.

Background

The fabricated modules are well known as amusement products that induce curiosity in children and promote development of the mind. Most of such modules have a structure that can be butted, and various forms can be realized according to the butted structure or the assembling position.

Generally, the more complex the structure the more time, effort and intelligence is required for assembly, and thus the module rank is determined according to the age of the child. Therefore, for children of small age or before entering primary schools, modules that are easier to assemble and capable of being assembled into various forms are more helpful to be familiar with the concept of assembly and space of things.

A module using a plurality of magnets has been proposed as in korean patent nos. 10-1047689 and 10-1468130.

However, since such an assembled module using magnets maintains the connection state between modules only by the magnetic force of the magnets, when a module assembly having a long length in the horizontal direction or a large-sized shaped object is formed, there is a problem that the coupling state between the modules is arbitrarily released or easily collapsed due to its own weight.

Further, since only the coupling force based on the magnetic force acts on the coupling surface between the modules, when an external force in a direction parallel to the coupling surface acts on the coupling surface, the coupling surface between the modules is easily slid, and the coupling is released.

Meanwhile, when one set of products including a plurality of modules is provided as a commercial product, the weight becomes significantly heavy, and thus there is a problem in that it is practically impossible for an infant or a child to move with holding.

Detailed Description

Before the present invention is described, it is clear that the same reference numerals are used for the components having the same structure and the first embodiment is representatively described, and only the structure different from the first embodiment is described in other embodiments.

Hereinafter, a fabricated module according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a fabricated module according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a front view of fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the module according to the first embodiment of the present invention is formed of a plastic material such as Polycarbonate (PC), and includes a main body 10 and a main snap-fit coupling portion 20.

The main body 10 is provided as a panel having a length in one direction larger than that in the other direction.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of a in fig. 1, and fig. 4 is a sectional view taken along line I-I' of fig. 3. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the main snap-coupling portion 20 includes a snap-coupling groove 21 and a coupling wing and is formed at least one edge of the main body portion 10. In the present embodiment, the main buckle coupling portion 20 is illustrated as being formed at both sides in the length direction and both sides in the width direction along the edge of the main body portion 10.

The snap coupling groove 21 is concavely formed on an edge side of the body part 10 and has a thickness smaller than that of the body part 10, and coupling wings are provided on both sides of the snap coupling groove 21.

At this time, snap-fit insertion protrusions 23 are formed to protrude in the mutually facing directions of the coupling wings 22, respectively. The snap insertion projection 23 is formed on an outer end portion and spaced apart from an inner end portion, and a seating portion 24 having a height lower than that of the snap insertion projection 23 is formed from the inner end portion to the snap insertion projection 23.

Furthermore, a snap-fit groove 25, which is recessed and located on the inner side, and a plug-fit protrusion 26, which is located on the outer side of the snap-fit groove 25, are formed on the outer side surface of each coupling wing 22.

Here, the insertion projection 26 is formed to have an inclined surface inclined outward downward, and insertion can be stably induced at the time of insertion coupling.

Next, the assembled state of the above-described assembly-type module according to the first embodiment of the present invention is explained. Fig. 5 and 8 are assembled state views of the assembled module according to the first embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of explanation, two assembly modules will be named as a first assembly module 1A and a second assembly module 1B, and the assembly modules will be explained in the same way as the first and second assembly modules in the lower structure.

First, as shown in fig. 5, two modules, i.e., a first assembly module 1A and a second assembly module 1B, are prepared, and both are arranged such that a first main snap joint portion 20A and a second main snap joint portion 20B located at ends in a longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction) face each other. And as shown in fig. 6, one of the second coupling wings 22B of the lower second main snap coupling part 20B is insert-coupled to the first snap coupling groove 21A of the first main snap coupling part 20A.

At this time, the second snap insertion projection 23B formed inside the coupling wing 22B of the second main snap coupling part 20B and the second insertion projection 26B formed outside are insert-coupled by the portion of the first main snap coupling part 20A in which the first snap insertion projection 23B is formed and seated in the seating portion 24A formed inside thereof.

That is, in the insertion coupling, when the second insertion protrusion 26B of the second buckle insertion protrusion 23B and the second buckle insertion protrusion 23B are abutted against the first buckle insertion protrusion 23B, the first buckle insertion protrusion 23B is unfolded in an outward direction, and is elastically restored as the second insertion protrusion 26B of the second buckle insertion protrusion 23B and the second buckle insertion protrusion 23B are seated in the first seating portion 24A, and insertion coupling can be achieved along with a "click" sound (click sound). The end of the plug-in connection process is known along with such a sound.

In the same way, the plug coupling can be achieved by embedding the first coupling wing 22A of the first main snap coupling 20A into the second snap coupling groove 21B of the second main snap coupling 20B.

In addition, as shown in fig. 7, the main snap coupling portions 20 formed in the longitudinal direction can be coupled to each other by insertion, and as shown in fig. 8, the main snap coupling portions 20 formed on the longitudinal direction edges and the main snap coupling portions 20 formed on the width direction edges can be coupled to each other by insertion.

Next, a fabricated module according to a second embodiment of the present invention is explained. In the second embodiment of the present invention, a guide portion 30 and a sub-snap coupling portion 40 are further formed on the edge where the main snap coupling portion 20 is formed.

Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a fabricated module according to a second embodiment of the present invention, fig. 10 is a front view of fig. 9, fig. 11 is an enlarged view of a of fig. 9, and fig. 12 is a sectional view taken along line ii-ii' of fig. 11.

As shown in fig. 9 to 12, the fabricated module according to the second embodiment of the present invention is formed with guide portions 30 and sub-snap coupling portions 40 at both lengthwise sides where the main snap coupling portions 20 are formed, respectively. The other structures are the same as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description is omitted.

The guide portions 30 are formed by being bent at both longitudinal sides where the main buckle coupling portions 20 are formed, respectively, to separate the main buckle coupling portions 20 into a plurality of pieces. The figure shows that a guide portion 30 of the present embodiment is formed to be bent in at a central portion of the main snap joint 20 formed on one edge to separate the main snap joint 20 into two.

The auxiliary snap-fit coupling portion 40 is formed to protrude from the guide portion 30, is built in a coupling portion of the main snap-fit coupling portion 20, and is formed to have a thickness capable of being coupled by insertion. Here, the sub snap coupling portion 40 is preferably formed on a line extended from the snap coupling groove 21. With such a configuration, the two separate modular modules can maintain the same thickness when the main engaging portion 20 of one module is engaged with the sub engaging portion 40 of the other module.

Further, the sub-snap coupling portion 40 has snap insertion portions 41 formed to protrude from both surfaces thereof. The snap insertion portion 41 is formed in an outer end region, and when it is engaged with the main snap engagement portion 20, it is engaged with a "click" sound (snap sound).

Further, the inner end of the guide portion 30 and the outer end of the main buckle coupling portion 20, which is inserted into the guide portion 30 and is coupled to the sub buckle coupling portion 40, are formed to have curved surfaces that are in contact with each other. Thus, the main snap coupling part 20 can be rotated at a predetermined angle around the sub snap coupling part 40, thereby allowing an assembling user to create a creative style.

Next, the assembled state of the assembly-type module according to the second embodiment of the present invention is explained. Fig. 13 to 16 are assembled state views of the fabricated module according to the second embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in fig. 13, the sub-snap coupling portion 40 of the fabricated module positioned on the left side and the main snap coupling portion 20 of the fabricated module positioned on the right side are arranged to face each other.

As shown in fig. 14, the sub snap-coupling part 40 is inserted into and coupled to the snap-coupling groove 21 of the main snap-coupling part 20 in a built-in manner. At this time, the snap-fit insertion part 41 is built into the snap coupling groove 21 positioned inside thereof while passing through the snap coupling groove 21 portion, thereby completing the insertion coupling.

Also, as shown in fig. 15, a plurality of the fabricated modules may be combined in various shapes by plugging. Further, as shown in fig. 16, in a state where the sub-snap coupling portion 40 of one of the assembly modules is coupled to the other main-snap coupling portion 20, the main-snap coupling portion 20 can be rotated at a predetermined angle around the sub-snap coupling portion 40, so that the user of the assembly can assemble the inventive model.

In addition, as shown in fig. 17, the fabricated module according to the first embodiment and the fabricated module according to the second embodiment are mixed for use, thereby being fabricated in various ways.

Next, a fabricated module according to a third embodiment of the present invention is explained. Fig. 18 is a perspective view of a fabricated module according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 18, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the main body 10 is formed by separating at least two divided bodies 51 around the longitudinal direction, and coupled to each other rotatably by a rotating shaft.

Here, the first divisional body 51a on the left side and the second divisional body 51b on the right side are formed into which the rotational shaft 52 is insertable.

Further, the main snap coupling portion 20 is formed only on the outer edge in the longitudinal direction of each divided body. If necessary, the main buckle coupling portion 20 may be formed at the end region in the width direction.

With such a prefabricated module according to the third embodiment, since the two divided bodies 51 divided around the rotation shaft 52 can be rotated, the mutually connected prefabricated modules can be assembled into a three-dimensional shape from a planar shape.

A fabricated module according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is explained. Fig. 19 is a perspective view of a fabricated module according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 19, in a module of a built-up type according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, main snap-fit coupling portions 20 made of an elastic material such as flexible silicone are formed on both side edges in the longitudinal direction of a main body portion 10 shown in fig. 1 as in the third embodiment. That is, if the bendable assembly type module is used, it can be assembled into a three-dimensional shape without providing a turning structure as in the third embodiment, as shown in fig. 19.

The invention is not limited to the embodiments described above but can be implemented in various forms of embodiments within the scope of the claims. Therefore, various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention claimed in the claims.
