Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a combinatorial sphere in which displacement of individual parts of the sphere instead of other parts by rotation of its hemispheres is provided.

To date, a combinatorial ball is known, in which the coupling of the ball elements with the movement of the strips along the main circles of the ball by means of gears is solved. The disadvantage of this connection is the considerable complexity of the coupling mechanism of the ball elements. Its advantages include its applicability to various types of combinatorial balls and the ease of rotation of the hemispheres due to the use of wheels.

The aforementioned drawback is solved by combining the combination ball elements according to the invention, the essence of which is to connect the ball elements in such a way that the individual parts of the ball in the contact surfaces are connected by guide bars whose position is stabilized by spacers.

By connecting the ball elements by means of guide rails, the position of which is stabilized by the spacers and the fixed connection of one ball element to the guide rails, a simplification of the coupling mechanism is achieved, which consists in movable connection only by the guide rails and spacers.

In the attached drawing, FIG. 1, a way of connecting the ball elements in a ball with 8 equilateral spherical triangles and 6 spherical squares is shown. The colored coverage of the sphere surface is indicated by broken lines.

The elements of the comhinatoric ball are movably connected by means of spherical guide bars 1, which are mounted in recesses 4 on the contact surfaces of the ball parts 3. The guide rails ensure the connection of the elements so as to allow the displacement of the ball portions 3 only along the main circle circles determined only by the half-cuts. Spacers 2, which can be cylindrical in shape, are used to stabilize the position of the guide bars in the main circles of the ball. The stabilization of the guide rails 1 and spacers 2 with respect to the ball elements is ensured by the fixed connection of the rails 1 with one part 5 of the ball, the contact surfaces of which lie in all the central planes determined by the semi-cam sections of the combinatorial ball. The existence of such a part 5 determines simultaneously the combinatorial balls in which such a connection can be realized. Such combinatorial spheres include a sphere with 8 spherical triangles and a sphere with 6 spherical squares and 8 spherical triangles. For the first ball, such an element is any spherical triangle230286 nik and for the second ball any spherical square.

In a sphere with 8 spherical triangles, all spacers can be rigidly connected to a ball inserted inside the combinatorial sphere, with which a ball element which is rigidly connected to the guide rails can also be rigidly connected. U balls with

With the 6-spherical squares and the 8-spherical triangles, only the element which is firmly connected to the bars and its corner spacers can be connected to the inserted ball. In addition, the intervening ball performs the function of transverse contraction of the combinatorial ball while rotating its hemispheres.
