Description

La présente invention concerne des éléments de construction, notamment de jeux de construction ou de puzzles, ainsi que des jeux comprenant de tels éléments.The present invention relates to construction elements, in particular construction games or puzzles, as well as games comprising such elements.

On connaît des jeux dans lesquels des éléments de formes diverses peuvent être assemblés par emboîtage, vissage ou autre, pour former des ensembles, par exemple architecturaux ou mécaniques.Games are known in which elements of various shapes can be assembled by interlocking, screwing or other, to form assemblies, for example architectural or mechanical.

On connaît également d'autres jeux dont les éléments peuvent être juxtaposés pour obtenir des formes ou des dessins divers.Other games are also known, the elements of which can be juxtaposed in order to obtain various shapes or designs.

La présente invention vise à fournir des éléments pour des jeux de ce dernier type qui permettent par simple juxtaposition d'obtenir des formes soit planes, soit dans l'espace, présentant des aspects divers en fonction de la façon dont ces éléments sont assemblés.The present invention aims to provide elements for games of the latter type which allow by simple juxtaposition to obtain shapes either flat or in space, having various aspects depending on the way in which these elements are assembled.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un élément de construction, notamment de jeu de construction ou de puzzle, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend un corps prismatique droit à base carrée, et au moins une tête dont l'enveloppe est un parallèlépipède rectangle ayant une base carrée dont le côté est égal à celui de la base du corps, ce parallèlépipède étant disposé à une extrémité du corps de sorte que sa base coïncide avec la face de ladite extrémité, ladite tête étant évidée selon au moins une surface cylindrique courbe dont les génératrices sont perpendiculaires aux génératrices du prisme.To this end, the subject of the invention is a building element, in particular a building game or puzzle, characterized in that it comprises a straight prismatic body with a square base, and at least one head whose envelope is a rectangular parallelepiped having a square base whose side is equal to that of the base of the body, this parallelepiped being disposed at one end of the body so that its base coincides with the face of said end, said head being hollowed out according to at least one curved cylindrical surface whose generatrices are perpendicular to the generators of the prism.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, ladite surface cylindrique est un cylindre à base circu-. laire.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said cylindrical surface is a cylinder with a circular base. laire.

L'axe de ce cylindre à base circulaire peut être une des arêtes de la tête perpendiculaire aux génératrices du prisme et son rayon égal au côté de la base de ladite tête. Dans ce cas, la tête a alors un cube pour enveloppe.The axis of this circular base cylinder may be one of the edges of the head perpendicular to the generatrix of the prism and its radius equal to the side of the base of said head. In this case, the head then has an envelope cube.

Ledit axe de la surface cylindrique peut être une des arêtes du cube de sa face coïncidant avec la face d'extrémité du prisme, auquel cas la surface cylindrique est une surface convexe, mais cet axe peut également être une des arêtes du cube de sa face opposée à la face d'extrémité du prisme, ladite surface cylindrique étant alors une surface concave.Said axis of the cylindrical surface can be one of the edges of the cube of its face coinciding with the end face of the prism, in which case the cylindrical surface is a convex surface, but this axis can also be one of the edges of the cube of its face opposite the end face tee of the prism, said cylindrical surface then being a concave surface.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, l'extrémité du corps opposé à la tête est découpée suivant une surface en biseau parallèle aux génératrices de la surface cylindrique.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the end of the body opposite the head is cut along a bevel surface parallel to the generatrices of the cylindrical surface.

Cette surface ep biseau peut faire par exemple avec les génératrices du prisme un angle sensiblement égal à 45°.This beveled ep surface can, for example with the prism generators, make an angle substantially equal to 45 °.

De préférence la hauteur du corps est un multiple de la hauteur de la tête.Preferably the height of the body is a multiple of the height of the head.

La présente invention a également pour objet un jeu, notamment un jeu de construction ou un puzzle, comprenant une plaque en matériau rigide découpée en éléments, caractérisé par le fait que certains au moins de ces éléments sont des éléments tels que décrits ci-dessus, dont les génératrices des surfaces cylindriques sont perpendiculaires à ladite plaque.The present invention also relates to a game, in particular a construction game or a puzzle, comprising a plate of rigid material cut into elements, characterized in that at least some of these elements are elements as described above, whose generatrices of the cylindrical surfaces are perpendicular to said plate.

_ La figure 1 représente un jeu selon l'invention comprenant un cadre 1 formant boîte, à l'intérieur duquel sont disposés des éléments 2, par exemple en bois ; ces éléments 2 sont réalisés à partir d'une planche dont la forme et les dimensions correspondent à l'intérieur du cadre 1, cette plante étant découpée selon des plans perpendiculaires à sa surface le long de lignes rectilignes 3 et courbes 4._ Figure 1 shows a game according to the invention comprising a frame 1 forming a box, inside which are arranged elements 2, for example of wood; these elements 2 are produced from a board whose shape and dimensions correspond to the interior of the frame 1, this plant being cut along planes perpendicular to its surface along rectilinear lines 3 and curves 4.

Les lignes de découpe sont telles que l'on obtient pour l'essentiel des éléments concaves tels que l'élément 5 représenté en détail à la figure 2, et des éléments con- .vexes tels que l'élément 6 représenté à la figure 3.The cutting lines are such that essentially concave elements such as element 5 shown in detail in FIG. 2 are obtained, and convex elements such as element 6 shown in FIG. 3. .

Les éléments 5 et 6 comprennent tous deux un corps 7 prismatique à base carrée. La hauteur de ce corps est un multiple (dans le cas présent le double) du côté de la base.The elements 5 and 6 both comprise a prismatic body 7 with a square base. The height of this body is a multiple (in this case double) on the side of the base.

.A une des extrémités du corps est accolée une tête qui peut être soit une tête concave 8 dans le cas de l'élément 5, soit une tête convexe 9 dans le cas de l'élément 6.At one end of the body is attached a head which can be either a concave head 8 in the case of element 5, i.e. a convex head 9 in the case of element 6.

Les têtes 8 et 9 sont inscrites dans un cube 10 dont le côté est égal au côté de la base du prisme 7. Ce cube 10 est disposé au sommet du prisme 7 de sorte qu'une de ses faces est en coïncidence avec la face d'extrémité du prisme 7.The heads 8 and 9 are inscribed in a cube 10 the side of which is equal to the side of the base of the prism 7. This cube 10 is arranged at the top of the prism 7 so that one of its faces is in coincidence with the face d end of the prism 7.

Le cube de l'élément 5 est découpé, pour former la tête 8, selon une surface cylindrique 11 à section circulaire, ayant pour axe une arête 12 de la face 13 du cube 10 opposée à sa face 14 coïncidant avec la face d'extrémité du prisme 7.The cube of the element 5 is cut, to form the head 8, according to a cylindrical surface 11 with circular section, having for axis an edge 12 of the face 13 of the cube 10 opposite its face 14 coinciding with the end face from the prism 7.

Ainsi la surface 11 de la tête 8 de l'élément 5 est une surface concave.Thus the surface 11 of the head 8 of the element 5 is a concave surface.

Au contraire la tête 9 de l'élément 6 est découpée selon une surface cylindrique 15, également à base circulaire, mais dont l'axe 16 est une des arêtes de la face 14 du cube 10 coïncidant avec la face d'extrémité du prisme 7. La surface 15 est donc une surface convexe.On the contrary, the head 9 of the element 6 is cut according to a cylindrical surface 15, also with a circular base, but whose axis 16 is one of the edges of the face 14 of the cube 10 coinciding with the end face of the prism 7 The surface 15 is therefore a convex surface.

La base du prisme 7 étant carrée, on comprend que la distance entre deux lignes de découpe rectiligne 3 est égale à l'épaisseur de la planche dans laquelle sont réalisés les éléments 2.The base of the prism 7 being square, it is understood that the distance between two straight cutting lines 3 is equal to the thickness of the board in which the elements 2 are made.

La plupart de ces éléments sont du type des éléments 5 et 6. Par exemple l'élément 17 est un élément du type convexe, c'est-à-dire du type de l'élément 6, dans lequel la hauteur du corps est égale à cinq fois la hauteur de la tête. De même, l'élément 18 est un élément concave, c'est-à-dire du type de l'élément 5, dans lequel la hauteur du corps est égale à six fois la hauteur de la tête.Most of these elements are of the type of elements 5 and 6. For example element 17 is an element of the convex type, that is to say of the type of element 6, in which the height of the body is equal at five times the height of the head. Similarly, the element 18 is a concave element, that is to say of the type of the element 5, in which the height of the body is equal to six times the height of the head.

Les éléments concaves 19, et convexes 20, sont des cas particuliers qui ne comportent pas de corps ou dont Le corps a une hauteur nulle. Enfin, l'élément 21 est un simple cube.The concave 19 and convex 20 elements are special cases which do not have a body or whose body has zero height. Finally, element 21 is a simple cube.

La variante de la figure 4 montre que, lorsque l'on défini la section du prisme 7 comme étant carrée, on englobe dans ce terme des formes qui n'en diffèrent que légèrement par la présence de rainures longitudinales telles que 22 qui permettent, lors de la juxtaposition de deux éléments, d'obtenir un effet d'accrochage.The variant of FIG. 4 shows that, when the section of the prism 7 is defined as being square, this term includes forms which differ only therefrom slightly by the presence of longitudinal grooves such as 22 which allow, during the juxtaposition of two elements, to obtain a hooking effect.

La figure 5 représente un autre jeu selon l'invention montrant une autre disposition des découpes rectilignes 3 et courbes 4, et dans lequel est prévue en outre une découpe diagonale 23.FIG. 5 represents another set according to the invention showing another arrangement of the rectilinear cutouts 3 and curves 4, and in which a diagonal cutout 23 is also provided.

Ce jeu comporte alors, outre des éléments tels que les éléments 5 et 6 de la figure 1, d'autres éléments concaves 24 et convexes 25 dont l'extrémité du corps opposée à la tête est coupée en biseau suivant un angle égal, dans le cas présent, à 45°.This game then comprises, in addition to elements such as elements 5 and 6 of FIG. 1, other concave 24 and convex 25 elements whose end of the body opposite the head is cut at a bevel at an equal angle, in the present case, at 45 °.

On remarque par ailleurs que le jeu de la figure 5 comporte en outre des éléments tels que 26 qui sont de simples parallèlépipèdes rectangles dont une extrémité est coupée en biseau.Note also that the game of Figure 5 further comprises elements such as 26 which are simple rectangular parallelepipeds of which one end is cut at a bevel.

La figure 6 montre que les éléments du jeu de la figure 5 peuvent de plus être agencés de différentes manières dans leur cadre, conduisant ainsi à des présentations variées.Figure 6 shows that the game elements of Figure 5 can also be arranged in different ways in their frame, thus leading to various presentations.

La figure 7 représente une autre variante d'éléments et de jeu selon l'invention.FIG. 7 represents another variant of elements and of play according to the invention.

On constate dans cette variante l'existence d'éléments à deux têtes, soit biconvexes tels que l'élément 27, soit biconcaves tels que l'élément 28.We note in this variant the existence of elements with two heads, either biconvex such as element 27, or biconcaves such as element 28.

De plus dans ce cas, si la surface cylindrique courbe de ces têtes reste un cylindre à base circulaire, ce cylindre n'est toutefois plus axé sur une des arêtes de la tête perpendiculaire aux génératrices du prisme et son rayon n'est pas égal au côté de la base de cette tête.Furthermore in this case, if the curved cylindrical surface of these heads remains a cylinder with a circular base, this cylinder is however no longer focused on one of the edges of the head perpendicular to the generatrices of the prism and its radius is not equal to the side of the base of this head.

L'enveloppe de la tête est toujours un parallélépipède rectangle à base carrée, mais n'est alors pas un cube.The envelope of the head is always a rectangular parallelepiped with a square base, but is not then a cube.

Les jeux représentés aux figures 1, 5 et 7 permettent par juxtaposition et combinaison de leurs éléments placés verticalement ou horizontalement de réaliser des formes de caractère architectural ou sculptural dans l'espace, et présentent en outre les caractéristiques d'un puzzle lorsque ces éléments doivent être remis en place dans leur cadre 1.The games shown in Figures 1, 5 and 7 allow by juxtaposition and combination of their elements placed vertically or horizontally to achieve forms of architectural or sculptural character in space, and also have the characteristics of a puzzle when these elements must be replaced in their frame 1.

Une réalisation de caractère ornemental exécutée essentiellement d'éléments tels que ceux représentés aux Fig. 2 et 3 est représentée à la Fig. 8.An ornamental embodiment made essentially of elements such as those shown in Figs. 2 and 3 is shown in FIG. 8.

On retrouve dans l'objet représenté sur cette figure, des éléments tels que les éléments 5 et 6 dont les têtes présentent des découpes convexes ou concaves 15 ou 11 inscrites dans un cube qui prolonge le corps prismatique de l'élément. D'autres éléments comportent des têtes dont les découpes convexes ou concaves 29 ou 30 sont inscrites dans des parallélépipèdes qui eux aussi prolongent le corps prismatique de section carrée de l'élément mais dont la hauteur peut être supérieure à la base.We find in the object shown in this figure, elements such as elements 5 and 6, the heads of which have convex or concave cutouts 15 or 11 inscribed in a cube which extends the prismatic body of the element. Other elements include heads whose convex or concave cutouts 29 or 30 are inscribed in parallelepipeds which also extend the prismatic body of square section of the element but whose height can be greater than the base.

On obtient ainsi une construction dans l'espace qui, tout en pouvant conserver ses caractéristiques de jeux peut également être considérée comme un genre de sculpture réalisée par assemblage d'éléments suivant l'invention au gré de l'imagination de l'utilisateur.A construction in space is thus obtained which, while being able to retain its playing characteristics, can also be considered as a kind of sculpture produced by assembling elements according to the invention according to the imagination of the user.

On constate que grâce à la manière dont les têtes des éléments sont découpées, on obtient au niveau de la jonction des éléments des transitions harmonieuses entre les faces planes et les faces courbes de deux-ci.It is noted that thanks to the way in which the heads of the elements are cut, one obtains at the junction of the elements harmonious transitions between the planar faces and the curved faces of the latter.

Les éléments de construction et de jeux qui viennent d'être décrits comportent des têtes réalisées au moyen d'une seule découpe cylindrique dont les génératrices sont perpendiculaires aux génératrices du corps prismatique de l'élément.The construction and play elements which have just been described comprise heads produced by means of a single cylindrical cut whose generatrices are perpendicular to the generatrices of the prismatic body of the element.

L'élément représenté à la Fig. 9 diffère essentiellement des éléments précédents en ce que sa tête 31 comporte une première découpe convexe 32 d'axe 33 confondu avec un côté d'extrémité du corps prismatique 34 de l'élément et une découpe cylindrique concave 35 dont les génératrices sont perpendiculaires à celles de la découpe convexe 32 et dont l'axe 36 est constitué par une arête orthogonale à l'arête 33 du cube dans lequel est inscrite la tête 31 de l'élément.The element shown in FIG. 9 differs essentially from the preceding elements in that its head 31 comprises a first convex cutout 32 of axis 33 coinciding with an end side of the prismatic body 34 of the element and a concave cylindrical cutout 35 whose generatrices are perpendicular to those of the convex cutout 32 and whose axis 36 is constituted by an edge orthogonal to the edge 33 of the cube in which the head 31 of the element is inscribed.

L'élément représenté à la Fig. 10 comporte lui aussi une tête 37 à deux découpes cylindriques. La première découpe cylindrique 38 est une découpe convexe d'axe 39 constitué par une arête de la face d'extrémité du corps prismatique de section carrée 40 de l'élément. L'autre découpe cylindrique 41 est également une découpe convexe d'axe 42 de la même face d'extrémité du corps 40, perpendiculaire à l'axe 39 de la découpe 38. La tête 37 de l'élément de la Fig. 10 est également inscrite dans un cube et le rayon des découpes 38 et 41 est égal au côté du corps prismatique de l'élément.The element shown in FIG. 10 also includes a head 37 with two cylindrical cutouts. The first cylindrical cutout 38 is a convex cutout with an axis 39 constituted by an edge of the end face of the prismatic body of square section 40 of the element. The other cylindrical cutout 41 is also a convex cutout with an axis 42 of the same end face of the body 40, perpendicular to the axis 39 of the cutout 38. The head 37 of the element of FIG. 10 is also inscribed in a cube and the radius of the cutouts 38 and 41 is equal to the side of the prismatic body of the element.

L'élément représenté à la Fig. 11 comporte une tête 44 également inscrite dans un cube mais présentant deux découpes cylindriques concaves.The element shown in FIG. 11 comprises a head 44 also inscribed in a cube but having two concave cylindrical cuts.

La première découpe cylindrique 45 a pour axe un côté 46 de la, face d'extrémité du cube dans lequel est inscrite la tête 44 tandis que la seconde découpe concave 47 a pour axe un autre côté 48 de cette même face d'extrémité du cube, mais perpendiculaire à l'axe 46 précité.The first cylindrical cut 45 has for axis a side 46 of the end face of the cube in which the head 44 is inscribed while the second concave cut 47 has for axis another side 48 of this same end face of the cube , but perpendicular to the above-mentioned axis 46.

L'élément de construction ainsi obtenu présente une tête en forme de pointe biconcave, dont les découpes' présentent elles aussi des rayons égaux au côté du corps prismatique 49 de l'élément.The construction element thus obtained has a head in the form of a biconcave point, the cutouts of which also have radii equal to the side of the prismatic body 49 of the element.

Ainsi, toutes les têtes à double découpe représentées aux Fig. 9 à 11 sont compatibles entre elles et peuvent être disposées avec des interpénétrations de leur découpe respective assurant la continuité des lignes de liaison entre les éléments.Thus, all the double-cut heads shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 are compatible with each other and can be arranged with interpenetrations of their respective cut-out ensuring the continuity of the connecting lines between the elements.

Les éléments de construction représentés aux Fig. 12 et 13 sont des éléments dérivant respectivement des éléments des Fig. 2 et 3. L'élément de la Fig. 12 comporte un corps prismatique et une tête 51 prolongeant ce corps et présentant une découpe formée de gradins 52 dont les arêtes saillantes 53 et les arêtes rentrantes 54 sont parallèles aux génératrices d'une surface cylindrique concave fictive 55 et disposées de part et d'autre de celle-ci.The building elements shown in Figs. 12 and 13 are elements derived respectively from elements of FIGS. 2 and 3.
