Abstract

The connecting link element for construction toy consists of link halves made from plastic and of a link shaft. The link halves carry one piece coupling elements (for instance pins tongues, forks or heads) for adjoining pieces. The link shaft consists of a roundhead screw (1, 2) and of a multi cornered nut (6). The holes for the link shaft are stepped in the same link way thus forming a base for the multi-cornered nut which cannot turn inside it. The diameter and the height of the head (1) of the round head screw (1, 2) corresponds to the overall width or the height of the multi-corner nut and the base is as deep as the height of the head of the screw and/or the nut.

Description

Gelenk für BauspielzeugO Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gelenk für Bauspielzeug, bestehend aus Gelenkhälften aus Kunststoff und aus einer Gelenkwelle, wobei die Gelenkhälften einstückig Kuppelglieder (z03. Zapfen, Zungen, Gabeln, Köpfe od. dergl.) für Nachbarsteine tragen, Gekennzeichnet ist das Erfundene daduroh, dass die Gelenkwelle aus einer Rundkopfschraube und aus einer Mehrkantmutter besteht, die itö cher für die Gelenkwelle in den gleichen Gelenlhälften abgestuft sind, so dass die Löcher in gleicher Weise aussen vergrössert sind und ein Bett für die darin nicht drehbare Mehrkantmutter bilden, Dies in weitarer Ausgeatlatung der Hauptsache der Erfindung mit der Zutat, dass der Durchmesser und die Höhe des Kopfes der Rundkopfschraube der Gabelweite der Mehrkantmutter bzwO der Höhe dieser Mehrkantsutter entspricht, ferner die Betten so tief wie dieser Kopf hoch und wie auch die Mehrkantmutter hoch ist0 Es ist der Wunsch der Hersteller der Blechbauspielseuge, Gelenke leicht zusnmmenbauen zu können. Kindern fällt dies.schwerO Sie wünschen sich dazu oft eine dritte Hand, denn der Umgang mit Schrauben, Mutter und Werkzeug bedarf in hohem Maß der GeschicklichkeitsbegabungO Bei Kunststoffbauspielzeugen versucht es der Fabrikat leidenschaftlich, ohne Werkzeug auszukommen0 Man kann z.B. Joint for construction toys The invention relates to a joint for construction toys, consisting of joint halves made of plastic and a cardan shaft, whereby the One-piece joint halves Coupling links (z03. Pins, tongues, forks, heads or the like) for neighboring stones, what has been invented is characterized by the fact that the cardan shaft consists of a round head screw and a polygon nut that itö cher for the cardan shaft are stepped in the same gelenlhälften so that the holes are enlarged in the same way on the outside and a bed for the non-rotatable in it Form polygonal nut, this in wider Ausgeatlatung the main thing of the invention with the ingredient that the diameter and height of the head of the button head screw corresponds to the fork width of the polygon nut or the height of this polygon nut, Furthermore, the beds are as low as this head high and, like the polygonal nut, high ist0 It is the desire of the manufacturers of sheet metal construction toys to assemble joints easily to be able to. This is difficult for children O They often want a third hand because dealing with screws, nuts and tools requires a high degree of skill With plastic construction toys the brand tries passionately get along without tools0 One can e.g.

Gelenkhälften mit Renkverschlussbolzen und mit Knebelzapfen über Nocken oder Schrägen zusammenziehenO Aber dazu werden bisher Verschlüsse verwendet, die beim Hantieren so kompliziert sind, dass sie Kindern schwer verständlich, oft sogar nicht zumutbar sind. Stufenkupplungsgelenke haben andererseits den mangel aller Stufungen gegenüber stufenlos verstellbaren Spanneinrichtungen0 Aus dieser Schwierigkeit führt die erfinderische Lehre elegant heraus. Sie ist leicht verständlich und bietet sowohl das stufenlose Winkeljustieren als auch die stufenlosveränderliche Gelenkreibungsschlüssigkeit an. Metallschraube und Metallmutter mit Gelenkhölfte aus elastischem Kunststoff sind optimal hantierwilligO Die Zeichnung zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel. Die Fig 1 und 2 stellen es in Vorderansicht und in REckenan sicht dar, während die Fig 3 und 4 eine der beiden Gelenkhälften mittels eines Querschnittes und der Rückansicht veranschaulichenO Das Gelenk besteht aus den Gelenkhälften 7 aus einem Thermoplast und aus der Gelenkwelle 2, wobei die Gelenk#####hälften einstückig Kuppelglieder (Gabeln 9) für Nachbarsteine tragens Die Gelenkwelle 2 ist Hauptteil der Rundkopfschraube 1, 2o Die Löcher 4, 5 dienen dem Aufnehmen der Mehrkantmutter 6, dem KopSt 1 und dem Gewindeschaft 2 der Rundkopfschlitzschraube 1, 2o Die Löcher sind in den beiden gleichen Gelenkhälften gleich abgestuft, so dass die Löcher in gleicher Weise aussen vergrössert sind und je ein Bett 5 für die darin nicht drehbare Mehrkantmutter 6 bilden Der Durchmesser bzwO die Höhe des Kopfes 1, 2 entsprechen der Gabelweite der Mehrkantmutter 6 bzwO der Höhe der Mehrkantmutter 6o Die Betten 5 sind so tief wie der Kopf 1 hoch ist und wie auch die Mehrkantmutter 6 hoch ist0Joint halves with bayonet locking bolts and with toggle pins over cams or tighten bevels O But until now, closures have been used for this purpose are so complicated to handle that they are difficult for children to understand, often in fact are not reasonable. Step clutch joints, on the other hand, have the shortcomings of all Gradations compared to infinitely adjustable clamping devices0 From this difficulty elegantly brings out the inventive doctrine. It is easy to understand and offers both the stepless angle adjustment and the steplessly variable joint friction fit at. Metal screw and metal nut with joint halves made of elastic plastic are optimally easy to handle. The drawing shows an exemplary embodiment. The fig 1 and 2 show it in front view and in REckenan view, while FIG and FIG. 4 one of the two joint halves by means of a cross section and the rear view The joint consists of the joint halves 7 made of a thermoplastic and from the propeller shaft 2, the joint ##### halves integrally coupling elements (9 forks) for neighboring stones The cardan shaft 2 is the main part of the round head screw 1, 2o The holes 4, 5 are used to hold the polygon nut 6, the head 1 and the threaded shaft 2 of the round head slotted screw 1, 2o the holes are equally graduated in the same two halves of the joint, so that the holes in are enlarged in the same way on the outside and each a bed 5 for the non-rotatable in it Polygon nut 6 form the diameter or the height of the head 1, 2 correspond the fork width of the polygon nut 6 or the height of the polygon nut 6o the beds 5 are as deep as the head 1 is high and like the polygon nut 6 is high0
