Definitions

  • the invention relates to a kit of plug-in components for layered construction with coupling elements, which are arranged in a square grid with a module, and with corresponding counter-coupling elements.
  • kits for layer construction are not suitable for the production of rigid beams.
  • FIG. 11 discloses a module for connecting two walls that are perpendicular to one another.
  • This module is prismatic and has a row of coupling pins on each of two perpendicular side walls.
  • This module is also not suitable for Construction of rigid beams.
  • FIGS. 50 to 53 A similar building block is known from CH patent specification 365 015, FIGS. 50 to 53.
  • the object of the present invention is to further develop a kit of the type mentioned above in such a way that it can also be used to produce rigid supports.
  • the kit according to the invention comprises belt elements which have centering means on two opposite end faces for centering with further belt elements adjoining the end face and on two first side faces at least one row of coupling members with the module spacing.
  • FIGS. 1 to 9 are intended for a modular system which is built on a square grid with the module M and whose building blocks have coupling pins 1 and mating coupling elements 2 adapted to them.
  • the principle of this layered construction is described in GB Patent No. 866 557.
  • a one-piece injection molded plastic belt element 10 is shown for a truss.
  • the belt element 10 consists of an essentially prismatic hollow body with a square cross section with two opposite, parallel end faces 11, 12 arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the belt element 10 and four side faces 13, 14, 15, 16 perpendicular to the end faces 11, 12.
  • the width of the side surfaces 13 to 16 is a module M that Length of the belt element 10 is 5M.
  • a single row of five hollow cylindrical coupling pins 1 projects along the plane of the side surfaces 13, 14 along the mutually perpendicular side surfaces 13, 14.
  • the pins 1 have a regular distance of 1M from each other.
  • the belt element 10 has a cylindrical centering bore 21, each with a cylindrical countersink 22.
  • the bore 21 is formed in a cylindrical sleeve 23, which projects into the cavity of the belt element 10 and ends in a radial shoulder 24.
  • the axes of the bores 21 intersect the axes of the coupling pins 1 of the side surfaces 13, 14.
  • the diameter of the bores 21 is equal to the diameter of the coupling pins 1.
  • the bores 21 serve to receive cylindrical plug-in elements 28 (FIG. 5) with a central flange 29 and edge beads 30, which are radially resilient due to axial slots 31.
  • half of the flange 29 lies in the countersink 22 and the edge bead 30 is behind the shoulder 24 of the sleeve 23 snapped.
  • a further belt element 10 can be plugged onto the half of the plug element 28 protruding from the bore 21.
  • the belt elements 10 are centered against one another and connected to one another in a tensile manner.
  • the connecting rods 34 have the width M and two end pins 35 projecting in the thickness direction and corresponding, coaxial counter-coupling elements 36.
  • the end pins 35 are spaced apart by ⁇ 2 times an integer multiple n of the module M, in the example shown 3M ⁇ 2.
  • the thickness of the connecting rods 34 corresponds approximately to the distance a between the side surface 13 or 14 and the front side 19.
  • the ends of the connecting rods 34 are rounded off coaxially to the end pins 35.
  • the connecting rod 34 has a length of 3M ⁇ symmetrical to the central plane 2nd + M two additional pins 1 arranged at a module distance from each other.
  • the number of pegs corresponds to that of a component 38 arranged perpendicular to the belt extension and spanning the same width (FIG. 3), i.e. the number of module spacings between the belts .
  • the straps are composed of the belt elements 10 shown in Fig. 1 and 2, analog, but shorter belt elements 10 'and further belt elements 39, which are formed without the approaches 17, 18.
  • the side surfaces 40, 41 provided with pegs of these belt elements 39 form the same, in the illustrated case, a right angle with one another as the side surfaces 13, 14 of the belt element 10.
  • the cross section of the belt elements 39 corresponds to the cross section of the end sections of the belt elements 10, 10 'outside the shoulders 17, 18.
  • the belt element 10 ' is connected to the opposite belt element 10 by a plug-in module 38 of length 4M, width M and thickness a. This module 38 has four pins 1 and corresponding counter-coupling elements 2.
  • Flat blocks 44 with 2 x 3 or 1 x 2 pins 1 and counter-coupling elements 2 are plugged onto the truss nodes, that is to say the connecting points of belt elements 10, 10 'and connecting rods 34 or modules 38, which significantly strengthens these nodes.
  • the mating coupling elements 2, 36 are formed by the circumferential wall 45 of the component 44 and two hollow pins 46 or a solid pin 47 for connecting rods 34. The coupling pins 1 are clamped between these hollow pins 46 or solid pin 47 and the wall 45 when inserted.
  • Fig. 4 shows a partial section through two telescopically movable trusses of the type shown in Fig. 3. Inside these two trusses, the building blocks 44 and the single-row building blocks plugged between the building blocks 44 on the belt elements 10, 10 'and 39 are replaced by building blocks 44 'without coupling pin, that is, with a smooth, continuous surface 48. This surface 48 slides on the rear sides 20 of the lugs 17, 18 of the belt elements 10 of the outer framework. In addition, the side surfaces of the blocks 44 'are guided through the side surfaces 15, 16 of the belt elements 10.
  • a second embodiment of a belt element 50 is shown, the same reference numerals being used for analog parts, so that a detailed description is unnecessary.
  • the belt element 50 also has two side surfaces 13, 14 of length 5M, each with a single row of coupling pins 1.
  • the side surfaces 13, 14 here form an angle of 60 ° with one another.
  • These belt elements 50 are used to build trusses with three belts.
  • the set-back lugs 51, 52 with the front sides 53 parallel to the side surfaces 13, 14 are formed here smoothly continuously over the entire length of the belt element 50 and are considerably narrower than M. As FIG. 6 shows, they serve to support the connecting rods 34.
  • the belt element 50 also has axial bores 21 for the plug-in elements 28.
  • the counter-coupling elements 36 which are coaxial with the end pins 35 can be omitted from the connecting rod 34.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 looks lighter aesthetically and results in less bulky knots. In addition, fewer different parts are required to build a framework. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3, however, larger forces can be transmitted via the nodes.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 can also be designed for the construction of trusses with three belts.
  • 7 shows the end view of the belt element 60 required for this.
  • This in turn has side surfaces 13, 14 with a single row of pins 1.
  • the side surfaces 13, 14 intersect at an angle of 60 °.
  • Shorter, recessed lugs 61, 62 with front sides 63 and also a row of three pins 1 are arranged on the side surfaces 15, 16.
  • the knots of one connecting rod level are offset in the longitudinal direction of the belt on one of the three belts, so that here the belt element 60 only on one of the side surfaces 15, 16 need the approach 61 and 62, respectively.
  • two types of belt elements 60 are required, namely those with an extension 61 and those with two extensions 61, 62, which is indicated in FIG. 7 by a broken line of the extension 62.
  • the lugs 61, 62 are here somewhat wider than M in order to enable a telescopic guide analogous to FIG. 4 in this embodiment as well.
  • FIG. 8 shows the variant of the belt element 70 corresponding to the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6 with side surfaces 13, 14 which are perpendicular to one another.
  • the narrow projections 51, 52 with front sides 53 which run over the entire element length have the same function as the projections 51, 52 of the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • FIG. 9 shows part of a framework with the belt elements 70 according to FIG. 8.
  • the embodiment with the narrow, smooth, continuous lugs 51, 52 requires less differently designed belt elements.
  • the connecting rods 34 ' have at their ends two bevels 71 at 45 ° to the longitudinal extent of the connecting rods 34'; the bevels 71 are each 0.5M from the center of the end pin 35. They facilitate the insertion of the connecting rods 34 'in the correct position.
  • the kit described enables the construction of stable trusses, which was previously not considered possible with modular building blocks. Due to the described design of the belt elements, the rod forces are introduced into the belt axis, since the rod axes intersect in the belt axes. The node conditions therefore correspond to the ideal framework. In addition to the higher strength, this also results in an aesthetically optimal expansion. Due to the introduction of the rod forces into the belt axis, the belt element with a length of 5M is the basic element. This length of 5M is unusual for modular systems for layered construction. For lengths over 4M, only modules are offered whose length is an even multiple of the M module.
