Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'assemblage notamment pour éléments de construction tels que par exemple des éléments de jeux de société, en particulier, mais non exclusivement, les dominos, c'est-à-dire comprenant des jetons portant des signes distinctifs susceptibles d'être appariés avec ceux portés par d'autres jetons complémentaires à deux, trois ou quatre branches.The invention relates to an assembly device in particular for building elements such as, for example, board game elements, in particular, but not exclusively, dominoes, that is to say comprising tokens bearing distinctive signs capable of to be matched with those carried by other complementary tokens with two, three or four branches.

On connaît déjà de tels jetons et l'invention se différencie de la variante de réalisation faisant l'objet d'un brevet français 2 586 200 du 14 août 1985 (appartenant au déposant), qui se réfère notamment à des jetons formés d'un noeud central susceptible de recevoir deux, trois ou quatre branches pour former des ensembles différents, construits sélectivement, en fonction de la convention arrêtée par les joueurs.Such tokens are already known and the invention differs from the variant embodiment which is the subject of a French patent 2,586,200 of August 14, 1985 (belonging to the applicant), which refers in particular to tokens formed by a central node capable of receiving two, three or four branches to form different sets, selectively constructed, according to the convention decided by the players.

L'invention a pour but de simplifier encore la fabrication des ensembles multibranches, en supprimant le noeud central qui servait jusqu'alors de pièces d'accouplement pour les pions ou branches du jeton proprement dit.The object of the invention is to further simplify the manufacture of multi-branch assemblies, by eliminating the central node which until then served as coupling parts for the pins or branches of the token itself.

On connaît, en outre, une demande de brevet N° FR-A-2534484 décrivant un jeu de construction constitué de plaquettes assemblables par encliquetage d'un organe mâle dans un organe femelle.There is also known a patent application No. FR-A-2534484 describing a construction set consisting of plates which can be assembled by snapping a male member into a female member.

L'invention concerne donc un dispositif d'assemblage notamment pour éléments de construction tels que les éléments de jeu de société fonctionnant à partir de jetons portant des signes distinctifs susceptibles d'être appariés avec ceux portés par d'autres jetons similaires et complémentaires, ce jeu comprenant une pluralité de modules, susceptibles d'être accouplés sélectivement les uns aux autres pour former des ensembles à deux, trois ou quatre branches, les modules comprenant des moyens d'assemblage complémentaires pour la construction desdits ensembles, caractérisé en ce que les moyens d'assemblage comprennent des organes de verrouillage et de rotation autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au plan de deux modules voisins, permettant un positionnement angulaire différent des modules selon que les ensembles réalisés sont à deux, trois ou quatre branches.The invention therefore relates to an assembly device in particular for construction elements such as board game elements operating from tokens bearing distinctive signs capable of being matched with those carried by other similar and complementary tokens, this game comprising a plurality of modules, capable of being selectively coupled to one another to form sets with two, three or four branches, the modules comprising complementary assembly means for the construction of said sets, characterized in that the means assembly comprise locking and rotating members about an axis perpendicular to the plane of two neighboring modules, allowing different angular positioning of the modules depending on whether the assemblies produced are in two, three or four branches.

De façon plus détaillée, chaque module comprend à son extrémité d'accouplement, d'une part une languette à bord arrondi, dont l'épaisseur est moindre que celle du module, ladite languette comportant un téton en légère saillie sur une de ses faces, d'autre part, une paire d'oreilles dont l'une au moins est élastique et perforée pour recevoir, par accouplement alterné, le téton de la languette d'un autre module complémentaire.In more detail, each module comprises at its coupling end, on the one hand, a tongue with a rounded edge, the thickness of which is less than that of the module, said tongue comprising a stud projecting slightly on one of its faces, on the other hand, a pair of ears, at least one of which is elastic and perforated to receive, by alternating coupling, the stud of the tongue of another complementary module.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description ci-après et des dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • - la fig. 1 est une vue en perspective d'un module,
  • - la fig. 2 est une vue en élévation de deux modules accouplés,
  • - la fig. 3 est une vue en élévation d'un jeton à trois branches formé par l'accouplement de trois modules,

  • - la fig. 5 est une coupe longitudinale selon la ligne A-A de la figure 2,
  • - les fig. 6 et 7 illustrent en perspective des éléments de construction tridimensionnels.
Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the description below and the attached drawings in which:
  • - fig. 1 is a perspective view of a module,
  • - fig. 2 is an elevational view of two coupled modules,
  • - fig. 3 is an elevational view of a three-branch token formed by the coupling of three modules,
  • - fig. 4 is an elevation view of a four-branch token,
  • - fig. 5 is a longitudinal section along the line AA in FIG. 2,
  • - figs. 6 and 7 illustrate in perspective three-dimensional construction elements.

Le but essentiel de l'invention réside dans un nouveau dispositif d'assemblage d'éléments de construction, par exemple pour des dominos, ce dispositif élargissant et développant les formules de jeux, puisque, contrairement aux jetons usuels de type monobloc, ceux objet de l'invention sont formés de modules pouvant être accouplés, pour constituer au choix des jetons à deux, trois ou quatre branches.The essential object of the invention resides in a new device for assembling construction elements, for example for dominoes, this device widening and developing the game formulas, since, unlike the usual tokens of the monobloc type, those object of the invention are formed of modules which can be coupled, to constitute a choice of tokens with two, three or four branches.

Pour des raisons de simplification de fabrication, chaque module est constitué, comme illustré en figure 1, d'un élément 1 de forme sensiblement carrée, de faible épaisseur, dont l'extrémité d'accouplement comporte d'une part une languette en saillie 2 et d'autre part une paire d'oreilles 3 et 4, contiguë à la languette, et ayant sensiblement la même forme.For reasons of simplification of manufacture, each module consists, as illustrated in FIG. 1, of an element 1 of substantially square shape, of small thickness, the coupling end of which comprises on the one hand a projecting tongue 2 and on the other hand a pair of ears 3 and 4, contiguous to the tongue, and having substantially the same shape.

La languette 2 prolonge le corps de la pièce 1 et présente un bord arrondi 2,, sensiblement semi-circulaire, de même forme que le bord arrondi 3, et 4, des deux oreilles 3 et 4 qui sont symétriques. L'épaisseur de la languette 2 est inférieure à celle du corps de l'élément 1, ce qui définit deux décrochements 5 et 6, dont la hauteur correspond précisément à l'épaisseur d'une paire d'oreilles 3 et 4 d'un module complémentaire. L'une des faces de la languette 2, de préférence celle tournée vers l'oreille 3, comporte un téton en saillie 7 destiné à venir s'encliqueter dans l'orifice 8 traversant l'oreille 3 d'un module contiguë.The tongue 2 extends the body of the part 1 and has a rounded edge 2, substantially semi-circular, of the same shape as the rounded edge 3, and 4, of the two ears 3 and 4 which are symmetrical. The thickness of the tongue 2 is less than that of the body of the element 1, which defines two recesses 5 and 6, the height of which corresponds precisely to the thickness of a pair of ears 3 and 4 of a add-on. One of the faces of the tongue 2, preferably that facing the ear 3, has a protruding stud 7 intended to snap into the orifice 8 passing through the ear 3 of an adjoining module.

Les deux oreilles 3 et 4 d'un module sont d'une épaisseur différente, l'oreille 3 étant relativement fine pour pouvoir se déformer élastiquement afin de permettre l'encliquetage du téton 7 dans l'orifice 8. Au contraire l'oreille 4 est d'une épaisseur sensiblement plus importante (environ le double) pour être rigide.The two ears 3 and 4 of a module are of a different thickness, the ear 3 being relatively thin so as to be able to deform elastically so as to allow the latching of the stud 7 in the orifice 8. On the contrary, the ear 4 is of substantially greater thickness (about twice) to be rigid.

Ainsi chaque module comporte un système d'accouplement amovible (du type tenon et mortaise), permettant un assemblage de deux modules 1, en position alternée, comme visible en figure 2.Thus each module comprises a removable coupling system (of the tenon and mortise type), allowing an assembly of two modules 1, in alternating position, as visible in FIG. 2.

Le détail d'un tel accouplement est particulièrement visible en figure 5 où l'on observe que le téton 7 de l'élément 1, est verrouillé dans l'orifice 8 de l'élément 1, la languette 2, étant venue se loger entre les deux oreilles 32, 42 de cet élément 1 et vice versa, c'est-à-dire que la languette 2 de l'élément 1 s'est quant à elle verrouillée dans les oreilles 3 et 4 dudit élément 1. Cet assemblage est rendu possible par le fait que chaque élément comporte à la fois un téton de verrouillage et un orifice pour recevoir le téton de l'autre module contigu.The detail of such a coupling is particularly visible in Figure 5 where it is observed that the stud 7 of the element 1, is locked in the orifice 8 of the element 1, the tongue 2, having come to be housed between the two ears 3 2 , 4 2 of this element 1 and vice versa, that is to say that the tongue 2 of the element 1 is itself locked in the ears 3 and 4 of said element 1. This assembly is made possible by the fact that each element comprises both a locking stud and an orifice for receiving the stud from the other adjacent module.

Ce mode d'accouplement présente le grand avantage d'être non seulement amovible mais également rotatif puisque chaque téton 7 peut librement pivoter dans l'ouverture circulaire 8 de l'autre module auquel il est accouplé. Ainsi les tétons 7 servent non seulement de verrous, mais également d'axes de rotation lorsque l'on veut orienter les modules dans des positions angulaires différentes. Par ailleurs, la forme curviligne des décrochements 5 et 6 des languettes 2 est complémentaire de la forme arrondie des oreilles 3 et 4, ce qui autorise la rotation sur 90° d'un module par rapport à un autre. On observe en effet sur la figure 3, si l'on prend en référence le module 9 que, dans un cas, le module 1 Oforme un angle de 120° par rapport à la direction du module 9, tandis que dans l'autre cas (figure 4) le module 10 occupe une position perpendiculaire à ce module 9. Ainsi on peut construire des dominos à deux, trois ou quatre branches par simple déplacement angulaire des modules les uns par rapport aux autres, ces déplacements étant autorisés par la forme arrondie des pattes et oreilles et par la forme curviligne des décrochements 5 et 6 des languettes.This coupling mode has the great advantage of being not only removable but also rotary since each stud 7 can freely pivot in the circular opening 8 of the other module to which it is coupled. So nipples 7 not only serve as locks, but also as axes of rotation when the modules are to be oriented in different angular positions. Furthermore, the curvilinear shape of the recesses 5 and 6 of the tongues 2 is complementary to the rounded shape of the ears 3 and 4, which allows the rotation over 90 ° of one module relative to another. It is observed in FIG. 3, if we take module 9 as a reference that, in one case, module 1 forms an angle of 120 ° relative to the direction of module 9, while in the other case (Figure 4) module 10 occupies a position perpendicular to this module 9. Thus one can build dominoes with two, three or four branches by simple angular displacement of the modules relative to each other, these displacements being authorized by the rounded shape legs and ears and by the curvilinear shape of the recesses 5 and 6 of the tongues.

L'accouplement s'effectue par simple encliquetage dû à l'élasticité des oreilles 3, le déverrouillage et le désaccouplement étant réalisés par dégagement d'une des languettes puis pivotement d'un module par rapport à l'autre.The coupling is effected by simple snap-fastening due to the elasticity of the ears 3, the unlocking and uncoupling being carried out by releasing one of the tabs then pivoting of a module relative to the other.

Les modules peuvent comporter sur au moins l'une de leurs faces des signes distinctifs tels que des couleurs, des lettres, des chiffres, des figures, des syllabes, des mots, des phrases, des parties de phrases ou encore des objets usuels destinés à conférer aux dominos un caractère culturel ou pédagogique. On peut utiliser le jeu à deux ou plusieurs joueurs qui décideront, conventionnellement, avant le début de la partie, le type de jetons qui sera utilisé au cours du jeu, à deux, trois ou quatre branches.The modules can have distinctive signs such as colors, letters, numbers, figures, syllables, words, sentences, parts of sentences or even everyday objects on at least one of their faces. give the dominoes a cultural or educational character. You can use the game with two or more players who will decide, conventionally, before the start of the game, the type of tokens that will be used during the game, with two, three or four branches.

Les jetons selon l'invention présentent l'avantage d'être d'une fabrication relativement simple puisqu'ils peuvent être obtenus en matière plastique moulée et qu'ils ne font appel à aucune pièce d'accouplement extérieure, autre que les modules.The tokens according to the invention have the advantage of being relatively simple to manufacture since they can be obtained from molded plastic and they do not use any external coupling part, other than the modules.

Selon une variante de réalisation (figures 6 et 7), le dispositif d'assemblage peut être appliqué à tout élément de construction en général, plan ou tridimensionnel. Pour ce faire chaque module 11 peut comporter à chacune de ses extrémités 111, 112 des organes d'assemblage tels que ceux décrits ci-dessus, simple ou multiple. En outre, les modules 12 peuvent être pliés, coudés, cintrés ou en forme d'équerre, selon leurs destinations et applications industrielles ou artistiques.According to an alternative embodiment (Figures 6 and 7), the assembly device can be applied to any building element in general, plan or three-dimensional. To do this, each module 11 may comprise at each of its ends 11 1 , 112 assembly members such as those described above, single or multiple. In addition, the modules 12 can be folded, bent, curved or square-shaped, depending on their destinations and industrial or artistic applications.
