Definitions
- the invention concerns a coupling mechanism with a rod- shaped object and a coupling head, said coupling mechanism being adapted to be used in a toy building set containing various building elements with other types of coupling means, e.g. bushings and ball heads.
- constructions of this type are not suitable for use in toy building sets, since consideration has been paid to the forces occurring in practice when constructing the cables and when arranging the means used for fixing the cables to the construction in general, while mounting is often difficult and requires the experience of a skilled person.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a coupling mechanism which is to be used in an existing toy building set for transferring forces between various ele ⁇ ments in constructions built with the toy building set, e.g. for transferring pressure, pull and rotation between the individual construction elements or e.g. for stabiliz ⁇ ing a static construction built with the toy building set, where such a coupling mechanism must of course be easy to mount and be connectible with various building elements in the toy building set.
- the rod-shaped object has at least one terminal part adapted to releasably engage the coupling head, said terminal part being adapted to be received between two resilient walls on the coupling head, and that the coupling head has secondary coupling means for coupling with other parts belonging to the toy build ⁇ ing set.
- This provides a form of snap action between the rod-shaped object and the coupling head, whereby these two parts can easily be engaged with and disengaged from each other.
- the secondary coupling means of the coupling head may e.g. comprise a cylindrical eye adapted to receive a cylindri ⁇ cal bushing, or having two axially spaced stop means in- side the eye so that a ball head can be received rotat- ably.
- the rod-shaped object has a circular cross-section and a constriction spaced from the end to receive the terminal part.
- At least one of the resilient walls of the coupling head has a collar transversely to the axial direction of the rod-shaped ob ⁇ ject. Upon interconnection of two parts of the coupling mechanism, this collar will counteract axial movement of the rod-shaped object with respect to the coupling head.
- the two resilient walls are normally connected by a portion of material extending in the axial direction of the rod-shaped object. When coupled with the coupling head, the rod-shaped object can then be caused to engage said portion of material.
- the rod-shaped object may be adapted to be passed through a tubular liner or envelope with an internal diameter corresponding to the diameter of the object. This is feasible when the rod-shaped object is formed with a terminal part whose diameter is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the rest of the rod-shaped object.
- the rod-shaped object may be used as a type of Bowden cable where the travel of the cable with respect to the end point of the liner may be used for displacing parts in a construction built with the toy building set.
- the cable liner may advantageously be attached in a bushing whose outer diameter corresponds to other parts incorporated in the toy building set, so that the cable lining may be fixed in existing building elements.
- the rod-shaped object preferably has a terminal part at each end so that a coupling head may be mounted at each end.
- one end of the rod-shaped object is an integral part of a component incorporated in the toy building set. It may thus be connected directly to the piston rod in a pressure operated cylinder.
- the rod-shaped object may also be formed with a terminal part having e.g. a four-sided cross-section, so that the coupling mechanism will be able to transfer tor- sion or rotation between two construction parts.
- the terminal part of the rod- shaped object may be formed with a diameter greater than the rest of the object, so that there is no need for passing the object through a narrow envelope.
- fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a cable end with a terminal part according to the invention
- fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a coupling head according to the invention
- fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of a coupling head according to the invention
- fig. 4 is a lateral view of the coupling head shown in fig. 3,
- fig. 5 is an end view of the coupling head shown in figs. 3 and 4,
- fig. 6 shows an application of the coupling mechanism according to the invention
- fig. 7 shows a second application of a coupling mechanism according to the invention
- fig. 8 shows a third application of a coupling mechanism according to the invention
- fig. 9 schematically shows a fourth application of a coupling mechanism according to the invention
- fig. 10 shows an alternative embodiment of a rod-shaped object according to the invention
- fig. 11 shows a further alternative of a rod-shaped object according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a rod-shaped object 10 for a coupling mechanism according to the invention.
- the rod-shaped object 10 has a terminal part consisting of a constriction 15 which forms an integral part of the rod- shaped object 10.
- the constriction 15 is connected to the end 12 and main body of the rod-shaped object 10, respec ⁇ tively, by two frusto-conical parts 13, 14.
- the rod-shaped object 10 has a maximum diameter corresponding to the diameter of the main body.
- Fig. 2 shows a coupling head 20 for the coupling mecha ⁇ nism, where the coupling head 20 has two resilient walls
- the coupling head 20 is a flat, oval body with a cylindrical, through-going eye 21 at one end, which is adapted to rotatably receive and re ⁇ tain a cylindrical bushing on another building element incorporated in the toy building set.
- a circular channel 23 is provided between the two resilient walls 27 in the longitudinal direction of the coupling head 20, said channel serving to receive the terminal part of the rod- shaped object 10.
- a cavity is formed between the resilient walls 27 on the coupling head 20 and is divided into an inner part 24 and an outer part 22, between which a collar
- the coupling head 20 is typically manufactured by injection moulding of a plastics material, so the coupling head 20 may in certain areas be formed with recesses 25 to reduce the wall thickness and to thereby achieve the best possible product.
- Fig. 3 shows a coupling head 30 substantially correspond ⁇ ing to the one shown in fig. 2, where a cylindrical eye is adapted to rotatably receive a ball head; the eye there ⁇ fore has two axially spaced stop means 36 which may e.g. consist of two spaced rings or, as is the case here, parts of two such rings.
- Two resilient walls 37 form an outer and an inner cavity 32, 34 separated by a collar 38.
- a rod-shaped object 10, displaced laterally, may be received in a substantially circular channel 23 which forms the rear wall of the cavities 32, 34 formed by the resilient flaps 37.
- some recesses 35 of reduced thickness may be provided owing to the wall thickness.
- Figs. 4 and 5 are a lateral view and an end view, respec ⁇ tively, of the coupling head 30 shown in fig. 3. It is seen in fig. 4 how the inner part 34 of the cavity formed by the resilient walls 37 has the shape of the end 12 on the rod-shaped object 10.
- the width of the cavity 34 i.e. the distance between the two resilient walls 37 in this part, is constant in the entire depth of the cavity.
- the end 12 on the rod-shaped object 10 will not meet with any resistance until it reaches the rear wall of the inner part 34 of the cavity. It is seen in fig.
- the coupling head 20 for receiving a bushing is oval, while the coupling head 30 for retaining a ball head is U-shaped. A user can hereby readily distinguish between the two types of coup ⁇ ling heads 20, 30.
- Fig. 6 shows an application of a coupling mechanism according to the invention, where a coupling head 30 is mounted at one end of a flexible cable 10.
- the other end of the cable 10 is secured to a piston 61 in a pressure- pull cylinder 60, said cable 10 being passed through an opening in the end plate 62 of the cylinder 60.
- the cylinder 60 is operated by a pump 63.
- Two uniform elements 40 and 42, together with the pressure operated cylinder 60, are fixed to a construction built with the toy building set. These two building elements 40, 42 have a circular opening to receive a bushing 41 and 43, respec ⁇ tively.
- These two bushings 41, 43 retain their respective ends of a tubular envelope 50 with respect to the two building elements 40, 42.
- the envelope 50 will preferably be flexible and formed with an inside diameter corresponding to the diameter of the rod-shaped object or the cable 10. Since the cable 10 can easily be separated from the coupling head 30, this can easily be passed through with a tubular envelope 50.
- the cable 10 is passed through the envelope 50 after the envelope has been attached to the building elements 40, 42 by means of the bushings 41, 43.
- the travel of the piston 61 in the pressure operated cylinder will thus be transferred through the cable 10 so that the coupling head will perform a corresponding travel with respect to the building element 40. This travel may be used for moving other parts (not shown) of the construction.
- Fig. 7 shows an example of an application of such a cable construction.
- the shown construction may e.g. be used for regulating the inclination of a toy helicopter rotor.
- a power supply and regulation device 104 controls the supply power to an electric motor 100.
- the electric motor 100 has a drive shaft 102, which through a connector 105 is con ⁇ nected to the rotor shaft of the helicopter.
- the shaft is moved through a flat building element 120 with holes to receive shafts and bushings.
- the shaft 120 is retained vertically with respect to the flat building element 120 by means of positioning rings 122 mounted on each side of the flat building element.
- the shaft 110 is secured to a cardan ball (not shown), which is engaged with carrier pins on an internal cylinder face on a cross-shaped ele ⁇ ment 130, so that its rotation is provided by the shaft 110.
- the cross-shaped element 130 has four radially protruding arms with coupling studs 132 with which heli- copter blades may be mounted.
- a guide ring 140 is rotat ⁇ ably journalled about the tubular part of the cross-shaped element 130, so that the guide ring 140 may be used for regulating the inclination of the element 130 with respect to horizontal.
- the guide ring 140 has four radially pro- truding arms with ball heads 145.
- a coupling head 160 of the second type (30) is secured to one of these ball heads 145.
- this coupling head 160 is connected with a flexible cable 160 and is passed into a bushing 180 extending through the flat building element 121 as well as an additional element 122 whereby the bushing will be able to retain a flexible envelope 170, whose other end is secured with a bushing 181 to a building element 185.
- the cable 160 is attached at its other end to a coupling head 155 of the first type (20), which is secured via a bushing 190 to a lever or swing arm 192 which may be pivoted about a stationary pivot shaft 195.
- the shaft 195, the building element 185, the building elements 120 and 121 and the electric motor 100 are secured to stationary construction parts which are omitted for the sake of clarity.
- the cable 160 When the swing arm 192 is pivoted about the shaft 195, the cable 160 will be displaced in the envelope 170, and the rotation about the shaft 195 will result in a linear displacement of the coupling head 160 and thereby change the inclination of the cross-shaped element 130.
- one of the ball heads may be fixed with respect to the flat building element 120, so that the element 130 can now only tilt about an axis.
- Fig. 8 shows that the coupling mechanism according to the invention may be used for stiffening stationary construc ⁇ tions, which is exemplified by a tail portion of a heli- copter built with the elements of the toy building set.
- the tail portion is composed of long building elements having through openings to receive shafts.
- the construc ⁇ tion consists of five beams 210, 220, 230, 240, 250 which are coupled together with shafts and bushings to form a substantially trapeziform body constituting the tail of the helicopter. Since the individual beams are rotatably connected with each other, the tail portion will not be stable as such, and two stiffening elements 260, 270 are therefore connected between the two substantially parallel beams 210 and 240.
- Fig. 9 schematically shows how a cable construction of the type shown in fig. 6 may be used for controlling the shape of an otherwise semistatic construction.
- the construction is formed by four beams 300, 301, 302 and 303 which are rotatably secured to each other through shafts 380, 381, 382 and 383.
- the beams 301-303 form a trapezium whose shape may be varied by adjusting the angle between two of the beams 300 and 303 forming part of the paral ⁇ lelogram.
- a Bowden cable comprises a envelope 360 attached to the beam 300 and an inner cable 310 attached to the beam 303 through a coupling head 320 by means of a bushing.
- the travel of the inner cable 310 in the envelope 360 will thus be able to adjust the angle between the beam 300 and the beam 303.
- Fig. 10 shows an alternative embodiment of a rod-shaped object 10 according to the invention with a terminal part in the form of a ball 12.
- This rod-shaped object will be useful in connection with static constructions since, in this case, it is not necessary that the object 10 is to be movable through a cable envelope, but is merely to be received in a coupling head.
- This coupling head must be shaped such that an inner part of the cavity between the flexible walls of the coupling head must be receivable on the ball-shaped terminal part.
- Fig. 11 shows an alternative embodiment of the rod-shaped object where the terminal part is here formed with an end part 12 having a square cross-shaped section.
- the rod- shaped object 10 otherwise corresponds to the rod-shaped object shown in fig. 1, but owing to the plane faces of the end part, it will be able to transmit rotary movements or torsion if the coupling head is formed with corres ⁇ ponding complementary plane faces.
