Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug-in module as part of a play kit, which can be brought into a releasable connection with one or more plug-in modules of the kit.
  • Cube-shaped (cubic), pluggable game components which can be plugged together by means of connecting knobs in the side surfaces, the latching connection always taking place with circular knobs and correspondingly designed bores in the counterpart.
  • DE 2920743 C2 discloses building blocks of a toy building set. This is designed as a hollow cube open on one side, which is provided on its upper side opposite the open cube side and on the other side walls with a centrally arranged and square connecting pin.
  • the connecting pins are dimensioned so that another module can be brought with its open side onto a connecting pin of another module. A firm cohesion can only be achieved with additional connecting elements. This is a particular disadvantage.
  • DE 1868651 U1 also shows, for example, a cube-shaped element with latching elements which are to be connected to the counterparts of a corresponding module.
  • latching elements in the form of small balls at the corners of a connecting pin are pressed into a correspondingly shaped corner inside another building block. The plastic deformation causes fatigue, which opposes the permanent use of the block.
  • the AT-PS 327725 shows parts of a kit, of which a two-part, hinged component can be joined together with a snap connection. To cancel the snap connection, it is necessary to compress the side surfaces of the module. In addition, it is not possible to couple other building blocks to the side surfaces that can be compressed to release the latching connection
  • a plug-in module with the features of the preamble of independent claim 1, 7 or 8 is described in US Pat. No. 4,385,467.
  • the plug-in modules known from this US patent can also be connected to one another only on one side.
  • the invention described below has set itself the task of creating a plug-in module in which the aforementioned disadvantages are avoided and the user has the additional advantage that he can plug on a plug-in module on several surfaces of another plug-in module. This increases the game value significantly.
  • the invention provides a plug-in module as part of a play kit, which can be brought into a releasable connection with one or more plug-in modules of the kit, characterized in that several side surfaces of the plug-in module are designed such that they have side edges, with at least two These side edges of the terminal strips are formed and that on the remaining side surfaces of the plug-in module at least two are from the body of the plug-in module Path-extending spring leaves that are not connected to one another are formed with grooves that have a corresponding orientation as the terminal strips and into which the terminal strips of another plug-in module can be brought into the connecting position with initial spring deflection and subsequent spring-back.
  • the invention provides a plug-in module as part of a play kit, which can be brought into a detachable connection with one or more plug-in modules of the kit, characterized in that several side surfaces of the plug-in module are designed such that they have side edges, whereby at least two of these side edges are formed with terminal strips and that at least two spring leaves extending from the body of the plug-in module and not connected to one another are formed on the remaining side surfaces of the plug-in module with nubs that rise inwards, which after initial springing-out of the spring leaves for establishing the connection with another plug-in module and subsequent spring-back grip its terminal strips.
  • a plug-in module as part of a play kit, which can be brought into a detachable connection with one or more plug-in modules of the kit, characterized by recesses provided in the end faces of the side surfaces of the plug-in module and integrally formed on at least one side surface of the module, at least two spring leaves extending from the body of the plug-in module and not connected to one another with inwardly raised knobs which are complementary to the recesses, oriented in accordance with these and arranged in the same grid dimension as these and which, after initial spring deflection of the spring leaves, make the connection to one engage another plug-in module and subsequent springback into the recesses.
  • the result shows a plug-in module, the one side of which has four tulip-shaped, slightly springy connectors in the form of spring leaves which protrude from the body of the plug-in module and which can easily snap onto the other five closed side surfaces of an identical plug-in module.
  • the closed side surfaces have at least two, preferably opposite, strips, and a maximum of four strips, each of which can snap into the spring leaves of another plug-in cube.
  • connection is wear-free on clean surfaces and functions easily over the entire life of the parts.
  • the spring leaves of the tulip-shaped connectors spring out and in again during the establishment of the connection within the limits of the elastic deformation of the plastic and thus work without fatigue.
  • the spring leaves on the body of the plug-in module are formed so offset that they do not exceed the outer contours of the plug-in module in their position of maximum deflection - namely when establishing the connection. This prevents a block that is already coupled to a plug-in module from being impeded in relation to a plug-in module to be coupled in the immediate vicinity, since its spring leaves still have sufficient space to rebound.
  • the plug-in module according to the invention makes it possible, in further advantageous application examples, for a reduction or transmission gear to be accommodated in its interior, as a result of which versatile gear combinations can be put together for use in games, but also in the industrial sector.
  • a shaft is provided with part of a claw coupling.
  • openings are provided through which the respective other parts of the claw coupling engage, which are in engagement with one another by means of shafts and gearwheels which form the gears.
  • one part of the claw coupling on the shaft of the gearbox engages in the first plug-in module or in the other part of the claw coupling on the shaft since the gearbox in the other plug-in module, such that a frictional connection between the two gears prevails.
  • an angular gear is installed in a plug-in module with openings in the side surfaces at 90 °, 180 ° and 270 ° with respect to the axis of the snap connector, a variety of deflected drive trains can be realized, which can be coupled to an electric motor, for example.
  • a plug-in component in a drive train preferably has an internal slip clutch to avoid overloading the motor in the event of a blockage.
  • Figure 1 shows a cubic body 1 according to the invention with the closed plug-in surfaces on five sides, of which four plug-in surfaces 2 to 5 are designated in Figure 1, and partially cut open the four-leaf, tulip-shaped connector in the form of spring leaves 6, 6 'on the sixth side of the Cube 1.
  • the grooves 7, 7 ', 7' 'of the spring leaves 6, 6' snap into the strips 8, 8 'at the closed plug-in surfaces 1 of an identical cube.
  • the four spring elements 6, 6 'of a cube 1 are guided to an insertion surface 2 to 5 of another cube.
  • the spring leaves spring out under the action of force and the grooves 7 to 7 '' snap into the strips 8, 8 'when the end position is reached.
  • the Kubi are uncoupled in the reverse order.
  • Figure 2 shows a variant of the plug-in module 1 'from Figure 1 with a centrally located, square opening 10 on the opposite side of the four-leaf connector.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further variant of a cube 1 ′′ with a centrally seated, circular opening 11 on the opposite side of the four-leaf connector.
  • a major advantage in the design of the cubic plug-in cube according to the invention over all previously known systems is that larger versions of the cubic plug-in cube can also be snapped together with two or more smaller designs (see FIG. 4).
  • the spring leaves 26, 26 'of the larger cube 20 snap over the terminal strips 9, 9' of the smaller plug-in cubes 1. It is not absolutely necessary that the larger version has a cubic shape, but it can also be cuboid (for example in such a way that snaps them over two or six of the smaller cubic pegs).
  • FIG. Another embodiment of the plug-in module according to the invention is shown in FIG.
  • clamping strips 8, 8 ', 9, 9' are formed on all - with the exception of one - side edges of the side surfaces.
  • clamping strips 38, 38 ' are formed on one side surface, but do not extend over the entire length of the side edges.
  • a spring leaf 36, 36 ' is provided on the remaining length of the side edges. These have grooves 37, 37 ', which in the sense described above in the Terminal strips 8, 8 ', 9, 9'; Snap in 38, 38 '.
  • the invention is not limited to the fact that the grooves and the terminal strips of the plug-in module are continuous.
  • knobs 30 are hemispherical. Cone-shaped, pyramid-shaped or roof-shaped designs which are not shown are also advantageous.
  • the plug-in module according to FIG. 6 has continuous clamping strips 38 with which the connection between the spring leaves 36 and the knobs 30 can be established.
  • FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment with knobs 30 ′ arranged in a row on the inner sides of the spring leaves 36 ′.
  • knobs 30 ′ On the end faces 35 of the side faces there are recesses 32, which have a complementary shape to that of the knobs 30 'and are arranged in the same grid dimension as these knobs 30'.
  • All of the exemplary embodiments shown also have spring leaves (6, 6 '; 26, 26'; 36, 36 ') which are molded inwards offset from the edge of the body of the plug-in module.
  • the extent of this displacement is chosen so that the spring leaves in their maximum deflection position when establishing the connection with another plug-in module do not exceed the contour of the module.
  • the result of this is that two (or more) plug-in modules can be plugged next to one another on a larger module without the contour of one module interfering with the deflection movement of the spring leaves of the other module.
  • the exemplary embodiments shown have in particular in common that the material of the plug-in modules returns to a practically de-energized or unloaded state after the connection has been made. The material is only stressed when the spring leaves spring out of their rest position for the purpose of establishing or releasing the connection to another module.
  • FIGS. 8 to 10 advantageous designs of the plug-in module are shown, which have a transmission or reduction, translation or angular transmission in their interior.
  • the spring leaves that are always present are not shown on each plug-in module as described above. They are formed on the side, which is labeled "Input 0 °".
