Abstract

Ein Spielzeug-Gelenkbaustein besteht aus zwei gleichartigen Elementen (1, 2) in Gestalt etwa eines «A» mit einem Scheitelteil (5) und zwei daran angesetzten Schenkeln (3, 4), und mit einer in das Scheitelteil eingeschnittenen quadratischen Durchstecköffnung, sowie aus einer in diese Durchstecköffnung einsteckbaren Achse (6) mit kreisrundem Querschnitt oder Achse (7) mit quadratischem Querschnitt.A toy joint component consists of two similar elements (1, 2) in the shape of an «A» with a crown part (5) and two legs (3, 4) attached to it, and with a square push-through opening cut into the crown part, as well as an axis (6) with a circular cross-section or axis (7) with a square cross-section which can be inserted into this through-opening.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spielzeugsteckbaustein mit gelenkartigen Eigenschaften zur Verwendung in Baukastensystemen mit Durchstecköffnungen, insbesondere solchen gemäß DE-PS 2 161 913 und US-PS 2.278.327, bei denen das Grundelement aus einem H-förmigen Baustein besteht und das gesamte System bezüglich seiner Dimensionierung auf einer Grundlängeneinheit a basiert. Beispielsweise haben die Durchstecköffnungen dieser H-förmigen Bausteine den Querschnitt a x a.The invention relates to a toy plug-in module with joint-like properties for use in modular systems with through openings, in particular those according to DE-PS 2 161 913 and US Pat. No. 2,278,327, in which the basic element consists of an H-shaped module and the entire system with regard to its dimensions is based on a basic length unit a. For example, the push-through openings of these H-shaped modules have the cross section a x a.

Die neuen gelenkigen Spielzeugsteckbausteine weisen ebenfalls Durchtrittsöffnungen mit dem Querschnitt a x a auf,und sie sind miteinander durch Achsen verbindbar, welche durch diese Durchtrittsöffnungen gesteckt werden.The new articulated toy plug-in modules likewise have passage openings with the cross section a x a, and they can be connected to one another by axes which are inserted through these passage openings.

Es sind bereits Gelenkbausteine anderer Konstruktion bekannt, mit denen Spielzeugbausteine untereinander gelenkig verbunden werden können. Diese haben jedoch alle den Nachteil, daß die Verdrehbarkeit des Gelenkes begrenzt ist und es nicht zuläßt, wahlweise das Gelenk in einer bestimmten Winkelstellung auf einfache Art formschlüssig zu arretieren.Articulated building blocks of another construction are already known, with which toy building blocks can be articulated to one another. However, all of these have the disadvantage that the rotatability of the joint is limited and does not permit the articulated element to be locked in a simple manner in a certain angular position.

Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist deshalb ein Gelenkbaustein, der mit anderen Bausteinen in beliebigen Winkelstellungen zusammengefügt oder aber in bestimmten Winkelstellungen arretiert werden kann. Dieses Ziel wird erfindungsgemäß mit einem Gelenk-Steckbaustein erreicht, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß er aus 2 gleichartigen Steckelementen , die etwa die Gestalt eines "A" mit einem Scheitelteil und zwei an diesem Scheitelteil angesetzten Schenkeln aufweisen, wobei die größte Länge jedes Steckelements = 3a, die größte Breite = 2a, die Breite der Schenkel = a/2, die Tiefe im Bereich der Schenkel = a und die Tiefe im Bereich des Scheitelteils = a/2, und wobei in das Scheitelteil eine quadratische Durchstecköffnung mit dem Querschnitt a x a eingeschnitten ist, sowie aus einer durch die Durchstecköffnungen beider Steckelemente gesteckte Achse besteht.The aim of the present invention is therefore an articulated component which can be assembled with other components in any angular position or locked in certain angular positions. This goal is achieved according to the invention with an articulated plug-in module, which is characterized in that it consists of 2 similar plug-in elements, which have approximately the shape of an "A" with an apex part and two legs attached to this apex part, the largest Length of each plug-in element = 3a, the greatest width = 2a, the width of the legs = a / 2, the depth in the region of the legs = a and the depth in the region of the apex part = a / 2, and with a square through-opening in the apex part the cross section axa is cut, and consists of an axis inserted through the through openings of both plug elements.

Die beliebige Verdrehbarkeit der einzelnen Elemente zueinander oder die Arretierung derselben in einer bestimmten Winkelstellung wird dadurch erreicht, daß bei gleicher Form der Steckelemente die Verbindung untereinander durch eine Achse mit kreisförmiger Außenkontur oder durch eine Achse mit quadratischer Außenkontur erfolgt. Da der Durchbruch für die Aufnahme der Achsen im Steckelement erfindungsgemäß quadratisch ausgebildet ist, ergibt sich bei der Wahl einer Achse mit kreisförmiger Aussenkontur in der Kombination nach Fig. 2 eine stufenlose Verdrehbarkeit der beiden Steckelemente gegeneinander vonoc= 90 ... 270° oder in der Kombination nach Fig. 3 eine unbegrenzte Verdrehbarkeit untereinander. Bei Wahl einer Achse mit quadratischer Außenkontur ergibt sich eine formschlüssige feste Verbindung der beiden Steckelemente bei Kombination nach Fig. 4 in einem Winkel von α = 90°, oder α = 180°, oder α = 270°. Bei Kombination nach Fig. 5 ergeben sich Winkel von α = 0° bzw. 360°, oder α = 90°, oder α = 180°, oder α = 270°.The arbitrary rotatability of the individual elements relative to one another or the locking of the same in a certain angular position is achieved in that, with the same shape of the plug-in elements, the connection to one another is made by an axis with a circular outer contour or by an axis with a square outer contour. Since the opening for receiving the axes in the plug-in element is square according to the invention, the choice of an axis with a circular outer contour in the combination according to FIG. 2 results in a stepless rotatability of the two plug-in elements relative to one another of oc = 90 ... 270 ° or in Combination according to Fig. 3 an unlimited rotatability with each other. When an axis with a square outer contour is selected, there is a positive, fixed connection of the two plug-in elements in the combination according to FIG. 4 at an angle of α = 90 °, or α = 180 °, or α = 270 °. In the combination according to FIG. 5 there are angles of α = 0 ° or 360 °, or α = 90 °, or α = 180 °, or α = 270 °.

Durch Aufstecken von mehr als 2 Elementen auf eine gemeinsame Achse lassen sich mehrere Gelenkverbindungen gleichzeitig herstellen (Fig. 6).

  • Fig. 1 zeigt perspektivisch ein erfindungsgemäßes Steckelement. Es hat etwa die Gestalt eines A mit einem Scheitelteil 5 und zwei daran angesetzten Schenkeln 3 und 4. Seine größte Länge beträgt 3a, seine größte Breite 2a, seine Tiefe im Bereich der Schenkel 3,4 = a,und seine Tiefe im Bereich des Scheitelteils a/2. Die Länge der Schenkel 3, 4 beträgt a und ihre Breite jeweils a/2, und die Länge des Scheitelteils 5 beträgt 2a. In das Scheiteilteil 5 ist eine quadratische Durchstecköffnung a x a eingeschnitten.
  • Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 zeigen zwei Möglichkeiten der Kombination der beiden Steckelemente (1, 2) bei Verwendung einer Achse (6) mit kreisrundem Querschnitt.
  • Fig. 4 und Fig. 5 zeigen zwei Möglichkeiten der Kombination der beiden Steckelemente bei Verwendung einer Achse (7) mit quadratischem Querschnitt.
By placing more than 2 elements on a common axis, several joint connections can be made at the same time (Fig. 6).
  • 1 shows a plug element according to the invention in perspective. It has the shape of an A with an apex part 5 and two legs 3 and 4 attached to it. Its greatest length is 3a, its greatest width 2a, its depth in the region of the legs 3.4 = a , and its depth in the region of the apex part a / 2. The length of the legs 3, 4 is a and their width a / 2, and the length of the apex part 5 is 2a. A square through opening axa is cut into the part of the log part 5.
  • Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 show two ways of combining the two plug-in elements (1, 2) when using an axis (6) with a circular cross-section.
  • Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show two ways of combining the two plug elements when using an axis (7) with a square cross-section.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Steckelemente können zur Herstellung von gelenkigen Steckverbindungen zwischen Steckbausteinen gemäß DE-PS 2 161 913, bzw. US-PS 2,278,327 verwendet werden.The plug-in elements according to the invention can be used to produce articulated plug connections between plug-in components according to DE-PS 2 161 913 or US-PS 2,278,327.
