Abstract

Peep box stage, characterized in that it is detachably assembled from individual parts and has a mounted turntable.

Description

The invention relates to a box set, a turntable for a box and a model kit for a box.

Theater model boxes as children's toys have a long tradition. The scene changes and play processes in the paper theater are carried out using figures and decorative elements that are guided in rails.

In a real theater, a revolving stage enables a quick change of scene during a theatrical performance. It is therefore obvious to offer a toy in which a turntable is used.

A known possibility of providing a revolving stage in a theater model watch case is to place the disc on a base plate without rolling elements (see, for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gggoD-k23Qk&t=140s)

The storage without rolling elements causes a large frictional resistance, which makes turning a turntable of little interest for a game process.

A full-scale ball bearing for a theater turntable is an expensive individual solution. Even if the dimensions of a theater model watch case are 20 to 50 times smaller, there is no inexpensive standard warehouse that can be used for a turntable in a theater model watch case.

Turntables previously used in toys, such as roulette turntables, are often only supported by a central spine. However, figures, furniture and stage decorations are played on a turntable of a theater model box and the resulting mechanical stress on the disc edges would require a very robust design of the turntable and its central bearing.

An alternative solution to the design of a rotatable bearing is from CN210473036U famous. In this music-producing toy, the turntable is mounted by means of balls rotating in a groove between the turntable of a base plate.

Finally, from https://www.technikschoul.lu/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Kugellager-mit-Konservendosen-und-Murmeln-DE.pdf is a rotatable bearing with between an inner and an outer ring and the top a first stationary tin can and the underside of a second rotatable tin can guided rolling elements in the form of colored glass marbles known. This construction is mainly used for educational purposes and is not suitable for being used as a turntable in a peep box theater.

The invention is based on the object of designing a peep box stage, a turntable for a peep box stage and a model kit for a peep box stage so that it can be used in a peep box stage and is both economical and child-friendly and has a simple and robust construction.

This object is achieved by the box set according to claim 1, a turntable according to claim 3, a model kit for a box set according to claim 7.

Advantageous refinements result from the subclaims.

The peep box stage (often also referred to as theater peep box or peep box theater) can be assembled from individual parts and then dismantled again into individual parts or it is packaged economically as a model kit within an optimized pack size and the model kit is designed in such a way that the peep box stage (the peep box theater) can be used by children can be assembled.

The use of colored marbles (preferably glass marbles) makes the technical solution interesting for children. This encourages children and young people to be interested in mechanical solutions in general. In addition, the experience of the stage space in the theater box promotes spatial understanding.

An embodiment of the invention is based on the 1 until 12th explained.

This consists of

• (6) Turntable,
• (7) Table top,
• (8th) two vertically extending towers,
• (9) a horizontally extending tower which is arranged at the top between the towers 8,
• (10) a back wall,

The peep box stage as a model kit ( 1 ) thus for the first time has a turntable ( 2 ) with one in the tabletop 7th recessed turntable 6th . The turntable 6th rotates around a central spine 3 , which acts as an axis and is preferably used on colored 16 mm glass marbles as rolling elements 1 (see 2 ) stored.

The rolling elements run in a fixed inner and outer ring ( 4th , 5 ), which are on a common bearing plate (2) are attached.

Out 2 is therefore the turntable with an embedded turntable 6th can be seen which in the table top 7th the lower stage is inserted. The lower stage has the base plate 11 , four vertical side panels 12th and the table top connected to them 7th on.

3 Figure 13 shows a partial side view of the assembled thrust bearing; 4th a 3D view of the bearing plate 2 with all storage parts and the lower stage.

The thrust bearing ( 3 ), which is integrated into the lower stage, has the turntable on its upper side 6th on.

It also has a plurality of preferably spherical rolling elements 1 which are arranged on a circular path and which are located at the bottom on a bearing plate 2 prop up. The turntable is rotatable on the rolling elements 1 6th arranged. Turntable 6th and bearing plate 2 are about a central spine 3 operatively connected to each other, so that the turntable 6th around the central spine 3 is rotatable. The rolling elements 1 run between an outer ring 4th and an inner ring 5 .

Out 5 the structure of the lower stage with the thrust bearing and turntable supported on it 6th evident.

6th shows the 3D view of the two vertical towers 8; these each have two openings arranged one above the other as windows 15 on the front sides 8 and on the sides facing one another. Below the windows 15 floors / floors 14 extend. The towers 8 are open from the outwardly facing sides, so that figures can be placed on the floors / floors 14 from the outside.

In 7th the horizontal tower 9 is shown. This has an arcuate shape in the front and rear horizontally extending plate, which in the assembled state ( 1 ) is facing down.

The back wall 10 is in 8th shown and the the base plate 11 in 9 .

In the base plate 11 There are rectangular recesses, not designated, into which projections of the parts to be connected therewith engage, so that a plug connection is formed.

In 10 is the table top 7th with the turntable arranged in it 6th shown and in 11 shows an exploded view of the lower stage with recesses a and projections / protrusions b that can be engaged in them.

The kit works like a 3-D puzzle and can be assembled and disassembled in a few minutes.

1. 1. Grundplatte (11) / Unterbühne (13) / Lagerplatte (2) mit aufgesetztem Innen- und Außenring (4 und 5)
2. 2. Tischplatte (7) / Drehscheibe (6) / Tischseiten (12)
3. 3. Vertikale Türme (8) /horizontaler Turm (9)
4. 4. Rückwand (10)

The structure is preferably divided by the numbering of the parts in 9 groups for 10 construction steps and a color design of the parts in 4th Functional areas:

1. 1. Base plate (11) / Lower stage (13) / Bearing plate (2) with attached inner and outer ring ( 4th and 5 )
2. 2. Table top (7) / Turntable (6) / Table sides (12)
3. 3. Vertical towers (8th) / horizontal tower (9)
4. 4. Back wall (10)

The construction takes place in particular in two steps. In the first step, all 4 functional areas are put together. In the second step, the vertical towers are inserted into the base plate, the horizontal tower onto the two vertical towers and the rear wall into the tabletop ( 12th ). The vertical towers and the horizontal tower form the proscenium (portal area) of the peep box stage.

The peep box stage preferably has a width X of 30 cm to 100 cm, in particular 40 cm, and a depth Y of 30 cm to 100 cm, in particular 40 cm.

The height Z is preferably between 30 cm and 100 cm, in particular the height X is 38 cm.

The individual parts of the peep show stage are preferably made from wooden panels, in particular from MDF panels (MDF - this stands for medium-density fibreboard). Alternatively, chipboard or plastic panels can also be used. The plate thickness and thus the thickness of the individual parts is preferably 3mm to 10mm, depending on the size of the peep box stage.

For a peep box stage with a width of 40cm, a depth of 40cm and a height of 38cm, a plate thickness of 6mm has proven to be advantageous.

In the case of smaller dimensions, cardboard, e.g. honeycomb cardboard, or possibly a composite material can also be used as the panel material. The plate thickness can then be reduced to up to 3mm or less, if necessary.

The peep box stage is preferred for play and learning purposes in kindergartens, schools, theaters and museums.

Due to the existing revolving stage and the stacked floors on which figures can be positioned, it is possible to bring plays and the like to the children in a playful way and to stimulate the imagination.

It is possible, for example, to reproduce the stage of a theater in miniature stylized and market it as a 3D puzzle.
