Connection element to create spatial licriexa G

The invention relates to a connecting element sum creating three-dimensional structures of rectangular plates and of pipes.

The invention is based on the object of creating a connecting element that can accommodate both plates and pipes on the same side and connect them to one another. The invention consists in that a body is provided which has both at least one receptacle for inserting the corner of a plate oil and at least one receptacle for piercing the end of a plate

Br.j. In an especially advantageous embodiment of the τϊΐηαηχ 'it is provided that each body has at least two and no longer six cones arranged at right angles or oppositely to each other for attaching a pipe and a recess between two cones at right angles to one another Recordings of the corner of a plate "has, with .jede recess of two opposite parallel surfaces is limited by the plate holding cables, each of which also have two surfaces associated with a tube that rest on the outside of a tube that is on a pin of the right-angled Pin pair is attached.

In practice, the pipes and plates rest against one another so that they therefore tend dasu to support each other and to give strength to the structure.

The pegs are preferably of rectangular cross-section and arranged so that, x ^ if a raw x * with a corresponding cross-section is attached, at least one flat side of each tube rests against a plane of a plate.

Bas "connecting element can be made of elastically deformable material, for example HyIon exist. In this case a plate, which is slightly thicker than the distance between the receiving surfaces, can be used by placing the spaced apart Pushing ropes apart. The parts will then attempt to firmly grip the plate.

Some fasteners embodying the invention are shown in FIG Described below with reference to the drawings.

It contains twelve recesses 1, each of which is formed by a pair of parts 2 arranged in an outline, the opposing, flat, parallel receiving surfaces 3 bec-itaen The receiving surfaces of different recesses are all either parallel (e.g. receptacles la and 1b) or perpendicular to each other (e.g. 3rd recordings la and 1c).

The connecting element also has six right- -, ninkly arranged receptacle pin '+.

Acliir e Less than or equal to the de-farming between the surfaces 3 of each receptacle 1 can also be attached so that the edges of these plates also adjoin the flat surfaces of the adjacent pipes.

Since the material of the connecting element is elastically "deformable" a plate with a slightly greater thickness can be used, when the spaced apart parts 2 easily; deformed away from each other.

Fig. 5 "to 9 show connecting elements to connect a smaller number of rectangular plates and tubes, eg for use on corners, sides or edges of a right-angled construction.

The connecting elements and the pipes and plates connected to them can be used, for example, to create advertising displays or can be used as a modular toy. They have the advantage that they can be easily assembled, since none Screws or other fasteners are required and given the construction obtained a clear and clean impression gives. A wide variety of different constructions can be earthed.
