Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gelenk-Steckbaustein der im ersten Teil des Patentanspruchs genannten Art.The invention relates to an articulated plug-in module of the type mentioned in the first part of the claim.

Spielzeugsteckbausteine mit gelenkartigen Eigenschaften zur Verwendung in Baukastensystemen mit Durchstecköffnungen sind bereits aus der DE-A-2161 913 und US-A-2 278 327 bekannt. Bei diesen Bausteinen besteht das Grundelement aus einem H-förmigen Baustein, und das gesamte System basiert bezüglich seiner Dimensionierung auf einer Grundlängeneinheit a. Beispielsweise haben die Durchstecköffnungen dieser H-förmigen Bausteine den Querschnitt a x a.Toy plug-in modules with joint-like properties for use in modular systems with push-through openings are already known from DE-A-2161 913 and US-A-2 278 327. In these building blocks, the basic element consists of an H-shaped building block, and the entire system is dimensioned 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.

Ferner 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. Beispielsweise ist aus der DE-A-2 547 343 ein Gelenk-Steckbaustein der im ersten Teil des Patentanspruchs genannten Art bekannt geworden, das ungefähr die Gestalt eines «A» aufweisen kann und das eine aus einer Rundkopfschraube und aus einer Mehrkantmutter bestehende Gelenkwelle aufweist. Dieses bekannte Gelenk ist ein blosses Zusatzteil, das nur als Verbindungsstück, nicht aber als selbständiges Bauteil verwendet werden kann.Furthermore, articulated building blocks of another construction are already known, with which toy building blocks can be articulatedly connected to one another. However, all of these have the disadvantage that the rotatability of the joint is limited and does not allow the joint to be locked in a simple, positive manner in a certain angular position. For example, from DE-A-2 547 343 a joint plug-in module of the type mentioned in the first part of the patent claim has become known, which may have approximately the shape of an "A" and which has a propeller shaft consisting of a round-head screw and a polygonal nut. This known joint is a mere additional part that can only be used as a connector, but not as an independent component.

Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist deshalb ein Gelenkbaustein, der nicht nur mit anderen Bausteinen in beliebigen Winkelstellungen zusammengefügt oder in bestimmten Winkelstellungen arretiert werden kann, sondern auch für sich als selbständiges Bauteil verwendet werden kann, so dass mehrere der erfindungsgemässen Gelenkbausteine bereits miteinander zu interessanten Figuren verbunden werden können. Insbesondere soll es mit dem erfindungsgemässen Gelenkbaustein möglich sein, nach Belieben eine bewegungsschlüssige oder aber eine formschlüssige Verbindung herzustellen.The aim of the present invention is therefore an articulated building block that can not only be assembled with other building blocks in any angular position or locked in certain angular positions, but can also be used as an independent component, so that several of the articulated building blocks according to the invention are already connected with one another to form interesting figures can be. In particular, it should be possible with the joint component according to the invention to establish a positive or a positive connection as desired.

Dieses Ziel wird erfindungsgemäss mit einem Gelenk-Steckbaustein der im ersten Teil des Patentanspruchs genannten Art erreicht, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass alle Dimensionen dieses Steckbausteins auf einer Grundlängeneinheit «a» basieren und ganzzahlige Vielfache oder geradzahlige Brüche dieser Grundlängeneinheit «a» sind, 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 ist, dass die Durchstecköffnung quadratische Gestalt mit dem Querschnitt axa hat und dass die Achse einen kreisrunden oder quadratischen Querschnitt aufweist.This object is achieved according to the invention with an articulated plug-in module of the type mentioned in the first part of the patent claim, which is characterized in that all dimensions of this plug-in module are based on a basic length unit "a" and are integer multiples or even fractions of this basic length unit "a", whereby The greatest length of each plug 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 is that the push-through opening has a square shape has the cross section axa and that the axis has a circular or square cross section.

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 von a = 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 a = 90°, oder a = 180°, oder a = 270°. Bei Kombination nach Fig. 5 ergeben sich Winkel von a = 0° bzw. 360°, oder a = 90°, oder a = 180°, oder a = 270°.The arbitrary rotatability of the individual elements relative to one another or the locking thereof in a specific 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 a = 90 ... 270 °, or in the combination according to FIG. 3, unlimited rotatability with one another. If 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 a = 90 °, or a = 180 °, or a = 270 °. In the combination according to FIG. 5 there are angles of a = 0 ° or 360 °, or a = 90 °, or a = 180 °, or a = 270 °.

Durch Aufstecken von mehr als 2 Elementen auf eine gemeinsame Achse lassen sich mehrere Gelenkverbindungen gleichzeitig herstellen (Figur 6).By placing more than 2 elements on a common axis, several joint connections can be made simultaneously (Figure 6).

Fig. zeigt perspektivisch ein Steckelement des erfindungsgemässen Gelenk-Steckbausteins. 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 Scheitelteil 5 ist eine quadratische Durchstecköffnung axa eingeschnitten.FIG. 1 shows in perspective a plug element of the joint plug component according to the invention. It has approximately 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 apex part 5.

Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 zeigen zwei Möglichkeiten der Kombination der beiden Steckelemente 1, 2 bei Verwendung einer Achse 6 mit kreisrundem Querschnitt.Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 show two ways of combining the two plug elements 1, 2 when using an axis 6 with a circular cross-section.

Fig. 4 und Fig. 5 zeigen zwei Möglichkeiten der Kombination der beiden Steckelemente bei Verwendung einer Achse 7 mit quadratischem Querschnitt.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-A-2 161 913, bzw. US-A-2 278 327 verwendet werden. Sie können aber auch miteinander, d.h. ohne Mitverwendung anders geformter Bauelemente zu eigenen Figuren zusammengesteckt werden, und jedes einzelne Steckelement 1 oder 2 kann allein als Bauelement verwendet werden.The plug-in elements according to the invention can be used to produce articulated plug connections between plug-in modules according to DE-A-2 161 913 or US-A-2 278 327. But you can also with each other, i.e. can be put together into separate figures without the use of differently shaped components, and each individual plug element 1 or 2 can be used alone as a component.
