Plug connection for plates or · bodies

The invention relates to a plug connection ' for plates or bodies.

There is often a desire to connect plates or plate-shaped building blocks or building blocks as somehow shaped bodies, which are used in different sizes and different shapes, either in order to place two such plates on top of one another, for example, or with the help of these plates bodies, i.e. cubes, To form Reohteoker, pyramids and the like.

-Z-

The solution to this problem has now been found according to the invention in that on the inside and optionally Outside of the plates or the outside of the body supports are provided with spherical bodies at their ends are and opposing pairs of tabs, with ball sockets on the inside, facing each other have such a distance that the spherical body of a support can be inserted.

In order to ensure that the connection of such plates to a body or the .Anreihung several bodies represents a kind of lock, according to a further proposal of the invention, the procedure is as follows: that on the inner surfaces and optionally outer surfaces of the plates or the outer surfaces of the body Supports with spherical bodies and pairs of brackets are attached in such a sequence or at such intervals are that the plates inner surface against inner surface and the body outer surface against outer surface, or along their peripheral edges can be connected to one another.

The plug connection according to the invention has the advantage that the plates or bodies can be lined up in any direction, since the connecting elements are arranged in such a way that spherical bodies and pairs of tabs always meet. In addition, this connection arrangement is not limited to any body shape, fa. It can be used for rectangular, hexagonal, round or any other SOrmejsbung application. So every module can be equipped with such a plug connection. This connector can be particularly advantageous in

Further features of the invention emerge from the The following description of an exemplary embodiment in connection with the submitted sample and the claims.

In the case of a square plate, as the sample presented shows, are at a certain distance from the corners on one side provided a support with a spherical body attached to its end, while on the other edge, the same distance from the corner to the middle of the pair of tabs, one such is attached, with each cLei * tabs inside has incorporated a small ball socket that can accommodate the ball body.

Since this arrangement of the sequence, across the corner, of If the support is provided with spherical bodies and a pair of tabs on all edges of the panel, you can use two such panels with their insides facing one another connect, but you can also attach four perpendicular panels of the same type to such a panel, if necessary then, close the still open space with another plate and thus get a cube or a hexagon.

The two tabs that make up the pair of tabs are spaced apart so that when they are pressed together, the spherical body, spreading apart the tab ends, penetrate between them and into the Ball sockets can snap into place »

Protection claims 1. Plug connection for plates or bodies, characterized in that on the inside and optionally outside of the plates or the outside of the body supports with spherical bodies are provided at the ends and are opposite to each other Pairs of tabs, with ball sockets on the inside, one from the other , Have a distance that the spherical body of a support can be inserted. 2. Plug connection according to claim 1, characterized in that on the inner surfaces and optionally outer surfaces of the plates or the outer surfaces of the body supports with spherical bodies and pairs of tabs are attached in such a sequence or at such intervals that the plates inner surface against the inner surface and the body outer surface against the outer surface or with one another along their circumferential edges .
