Abstract

Construction game, characterized in that at least 4 vertically aligned posts / supports / columns are arranged in relation to one another in a certain grid.

Description

The invention relates to a versatile and expandable modular construction game for children in which walls and ceilings can be built and flexibly changed / rebuilt by inserting wall elements into grooved posts and placing ceiling elements on posts and / or walls. With these spatial elements, which can be arranged horizontally and vertically, the children can build rooms and spatial units on a scale appropriate to their body size and change them again and again. This space-creating construction game is primarily intended for outdoors, but in principle can also be used indoors.

In contrast to previously known construction games for children, with which structures can be built on a smaller scale, the board-cloth game is suitable for playable and climbed rooms, spatial units and elements such as walls and ceilings, platforms, caves, labyrinthine structures To create tunnels, etc. Due to the neutral shape of the elements, the children's imagination can develop freely. This also creates “rockets, pirate ships, railways, animal enclosures”, etc. Both the creation process and the handling of the building stimulate constructive understanding, movement, diverse role play and social interaction. Especially smaller children can benefit from the resulting structures.

• Das Konstruktionsspiel besteht aus einer rasterförmigen Anordnung von Pfosten, die je in verschiedene Richtungen mit gefrästen Nuten versehen sind. Sie haben eine im Prinzip beliebige, jedoch auch von den Fallschutz-Eigenschaften des Untergrunds abhängige Höhe und werden mit einer statisch üblichen Befestigung entweder direkt im Boden befestigt oder auf entsprechenden Tragrosten oder Tragplatten verankert. Der Abstand der Pfosten ist ebenfalls frei wählbar, sollte aber eine bestimmte Größe nicht übersteigen, um die Handhabbarkeit für Kinder zu gewährleisten. Die Anzahl der Pfosten ist u. a. abhängig von der zur Verfügung stehenden Fläche. Die Mindestanzahl beträgt 4. Zudem werden in ausreichender Anzahl Wand- und Deckelemente angeboten, deren Maße wiederum vom Abstand der Pfosten abhängig sind. Die Wandelemente sind so beschaffen, dass sie in die Pfostennute eingeschoben werden können. Sie können aus Holz, Metall, Kunststoff oder anderen wandbildenden Materialien hergestellt sein, die ausreichend leicht und stabil für einen dauerhaften Einsatz sind. Die Decken-Elemente wiederum sind so beschaffen, dass sie auf den Pfosten aufgelagert werden können. Sie sind aus flächenhaften Materialien, wie z.B. Textilien, hergestellt, die ausreichend leicht und stabil für einen verletzungsarmen und dauerhaften Einsatz sind. Die Maßverhältnisse zwischen Pfosten und Wandelementen sind aus Sicherheitsgründen so abgestimmt, dass die Wandelemente nicht seitlich herausrutschen, sondern nur nach oben entnommen werden können. Die Deckelemente sind so auszubilden, dass ihr Herunterfallen erschwert ist - zum Beispiel mittels Fixierung auf den Pfosten. Ihr Gewicht ist so zu bemessen, dass sie beim möglichen Herunterfallen nicht zu relevanten Verletzungen führen können.

The invention will be explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment:

• The construction game consists of a grid-like arrangement of posts, each provided with milled grooves in different directions. In principle, they have any height, but also depend on the fall protection properties of the subsurface and are either fastened directly in the ground with a static fastening or anchored on corresponding support grids or support plates. The distance between the posts can also be freely selected, but should not exceed a certain size in order to ensure that children can handle them. The number of posts depends, among other things, on the space available. The minimum number is 4. A sufficient number of wall and cover elements are also offered, the dimensions of which in turn depend on the distance between the posts. The wall elements are designed in such a way that they can be pushed into the post groove. They can be made of wood, metal, plastic or other wall-forming materials that are sufficiently light and stable for permanent use. The ceiling elements, in turn, are designed so that they can be placed on the posts. They are made of flat materials, such as textiles, that are sufficiently light and stable for long-term use with little injury. For safety reasons, the proportions between the posts and wall elements are coordinated so that the wall elements cannot slide out sideways, but can only be removed upwards. The cover elements must be designed in such a way that it is difficult to fall down - for example by fixing them to the post. Their weight is to be measured in such a way that they cannot lead to relevant injuries if they fall down.

The wall and ceiling elements can be made from different materials.
