Definitions
- the invention concerns a toy building set comprising a screw with a shank with threads for screwing into another of the elements of the toy building set with a preformed threaded hole, so that the screw is capable of resisting a force acting transversely to the shank of the screw at a distance from the element.
- the International Patent Application WO-A-9009825 discloses a screw which blocks the flexible properties of an element. Here too, the tension is applied to the screw in the longitudinal direction.
- the diameter of the threaded section of the screw is determined by the dimensions of the element into which the screw is inserted. With respect to the overall structure the dimensions of this element are often to be minimized, so that the diameter of the threaded section is likewise minimized.
- the moment of force on the screw is determined partly by the size of the transverse component of the force acting on the screw, partly by the distance between the point of application of the force and the contact point of the shank with the element (the arm on which the force acts) in which the screw is secured.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a toy building set with a screw, said screw being constructed such that it is better capable of resisting forces acting transversely to the longitudinal direction of the screw and at a distance from that of the elements of the toy building set in which the screw is placed in a preformed threaded hole.
- the engagement area consists of a conical engagement face on the screw.
- the conical engagement face can advantageously be caused to engage a corresponding conical engagement face on the element in which the screw is placed.
- the conical engagement face on the screw can advantageously form a transition between the small diameter of the threaded section and a shank section having a diameter greater than said diameter. This is expedient in particular if the latter is not subject to any diameter restrictions.
- Special screws and wheels for use in machines may have a form which has important similarities with the screw according to the ivention.
- Such an example is known from "La construction procedurachanique” (1982), Editions de l'Usine salt, page 48, fig. 6, in which a knurl wheel is disclosed.
- the invention concerns hollow screws of plastics, and that said prior art concerns solid metal items. If the bending strength of a metal rod is to be increased, the diameter will be increased. Part of the bending moment can be transferred to the tractive force if the rod is embodied with a stepped configuration between two rod parts having different diameters; however, the bending strength of the rod will never reach that of a rod having a uniform diameter corresponding to the diameter of the thickest rod part.
- Two complementary, conical engagement areas on the screw and the building element, respectively, will usually be preferable.
- the pitch of the threads will typically be relatively great, so that the engagement faces can advantageously be formed with complementary depressions and projections, such that the screw is retained in its inserted position when the depressions and the projections are engaged.
- the projection may expediently be shaped as a round knob.
- the depression can be formed asymmetrically with a steep stop face and an inclined guide face. Sufficient retention of the screw can be achieved by these features, even if the threads on it are just formed by about one convolution.
- the screw can hereby be manufactured by injection moulding using simple tools.
- the invention furthermore relates to the use of a screw as stated in claim 9.
- Fig. 1 shows a screw according to the invention. It comprises a screw head 12 with a shank having a threaded section 24 with one thread 25 at the end facing away from the screw head 12.
- the threaded section 24 terminates downwardly in a conical section 22 which is formed with two diametrically positioned locking holes 23.
- the conical section 22 constitutes a borderline section between the threaded section 24 having a relatively small diameter and the rest of the screw shank having a greater diameter.
- the screw 10 of the invention is preferably manufactured from plastics by injection moulding and it is therefore usually hollow.
- the shank section 14 of the screw between the head 12 and the conical face 22 thus has a greater diameter than the threaded section 24.
- the shank section 14 has an annular bead 19 which is formed with a guide face 21 and a stop face 20.
- the shank 14 merges into a shank section 16 via a conical guide face 15, the shank section 16 having the same diameter as the bead 19.
- a hub 40 shown in fig. 4 can be received and rotatably secured on the shank portion 14 positioned between the bead 19 and the head 12.
- the guide face 21 permits such reception, while the blocking face 20 prevents removal of the hub 40 again.
- the guide face 15 and the shank section 14 correspond to the hole in the hub 40, and the complementary guide face (not shown) of the hole can advantageously be recessed with respect to the outer side of the hub to provide a better guide between the parts during the assembling process.
- the head 12 on the screw 10 preferably has longitudinal grooves so that the screw will have a better finger grip when the screw 10 is to be screwed into another element.
- the end face 11 of the screw head 12 may be formed with an opening which is adapted to receive a specially constructed tool by means of which the screw can be tightened.
- the screw is adapted to be received in a threaded hole 35 on another element 30 incorporated in the toy building set, said threaded hole 35 having a conical section which is complementary to the conical section 22 of the screw, and which is formed with two diametrically positioned locking bosses 37. These locking bosses are adapted to be received in the locking holes 23 of the screw.
- the locking bosses 37 are preferably in the form of small rotational-symmetric knobs, while the holes 23 will be asymmetric.
- the holes will thus have a guide face serving to guide the locking bosses 37 into engagement, and a stop face counteracting further tightening.

It will be clear to a skilled person that it will also be possible to provide the screw with locking bosses, while the conical section 36 on the toy building element 30 is then provided with complementary locking holes.
- a vehicle built-with the toy building set may be considered as being bodies consisting of several individual subbodies. These subbodies may e.g. consist of the actual vehicle bottom with a superstructure as well as each of the four wheels.

- the screw is screwed into the element 30 and thus received and retained in the threaded hole 35 and the threaded coupling 42. Since two complementary conical sections 22 and 36 are involved, the engagement area of the screw will likewise be a continuous conical face. In practice, however, there will often be a gap between the two faces, but owing to the flexibility of the screw the faces 22 and 36 will be pressed together under external, mechanical forces.

Abstract
Description
- The invention concerns a toy building set comprising a screw with a shank with threads for screwing into another of the elements of the toy building set with a preformed threaded hole, so that the screw is capable of resisting a force acting transversely to the shank of the screw at a distance from the element.
- It is known from toy building sets of the construction type to screw elements together. Thus, there are examples that, in addition to ordinary coupling means, such as coupling studs and complementary receiving means, elements subjected to special loads are also coupled together by means of screws constructed for the purpose. These screws are screwed into special, preformed threaded holes in others of the building elements of the toy building set. It is also known to use screws for securing wheels to vehicle bottoms built with the elements of the toy building set. The mutual intensified attachment of the elements takes place in a fully satisfactory manner as far as it goes. Such a load is absorbed in the screw in its longitudinal direction, and the tension absorbing properties of the screw are fully satisfactory. Such a screw is known e.g. from the US Patent Specification 4 551 110.
- The International Patent Application WO-A-9009825 discloses a screw which blocks the flexible properties of an element. Here too, the tension is applied to the screw in the longitudinal direction.
- However, screws loaded transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shank have a significant weakness. The diameter of the threaded section of the screw is determined by the dimensions of the element into which the screw is inserted. With respect to the overall structure the dimensions of this element are often to be minimized, so that the diameter of the threaded section is likewise minimized. The moment of force on the screw is determined partly by the size of the transverse component of the force acting on the screw, partly by the distance between the point of application of the force and the contact point of the shank with the element (the arm on which the force acts) in which the screw is secured. With the requirement of a small threaded section diameter screws used e.g. as wheel shafts will tend to break in the area positioned around the surface of the element when the screw is subjected either to great static loads or by pulse impacts e.g. when being dropped. A corresponding problem will be present if the screw is used for transferring forces in the transverse direction of the screw.
- The object of the invention is therefore to provide a toy building set with a screw, said screw being constructed such that it is better capable of resisting forces acting transversely to the longitudinal direction of the screw and at a distance from that of the elements of the toy building set in which the screw is placed in a preformed threaded hole.
- This object is achieved with a toy building set as stated in claim 1, since the location of the engagement area - at a greater radial distance than the radius of the threaded section - entails that the resulting moment of force is reduced because the resulting arm is smaller.
- The engagement area consists of a conical engagement face on the screw. The conical engagement face can advantageously be caused to engage a corresponding conical engagement face on the element in which the screw is placed. The conical engagement face on the screw can advantageously form a transition between the small diameter of the threaded section and a shank section having a diameter greater than said diameter. This is expedient in particular if the latter is not subject to any diameter restrictions.
- Special screws and wheels for use in machines may have a form which has important similarities with the screw according to the ivention. Such an example is known from "La construction méchanique" (1982), Editions de l'Usine Nouvelle, page 48, fig. 6, in which a knurl wheel is disclosed. It should be noted that the invention concerns hollow screws of plastics, and that said prior art concerns solid metal items. If the bending strength of a metal rod is to be increased, the diameter will be increased. Part of the bending moment can be transferred to the tractive force if the rod is embodied with a stepped configuration between two rod parts having different diameters; however, the bending strength of the rod will never reach that of a rod having a uniform diameter corresponding to the diameter of the thickest rod part. This does not apply to hollow plastics elements, which is the technical field of the invention, which involves elements with a certain wall thickness. An increase in the diameter of the elements will therefore not result in the same increase in the bending strength. On the contrary, a stepped configuration between two sections of different diameters will result in an increase in strength such that the strength of the section concerned will exceed that of the section having the greater diameter. In plastics screws according to the invention a direct increase in strength at the section in which the stepped configuration is made, will be obtained in addition to moment relief.
- Two complementary, conical engagement areas on the screw and the building element, respectively, will usually be preferable.
- Since the toy building set in the preferred embodiment usually makes extensive use of plastics produced by injection moulding, the pitch of the threads will typically be relatively great, so that the engagement faces can advantageously be formed with complementary depressions and projections, such that the screw is retained in its inserted position when the depressions and the projections are engaged. This is expedient in particular when the screw is used is a wheel shaft, since the screw, depending on the vehicle side in which it is positioned, will be subjected to a force originating from friction with the hub of the wheel, otherwise entailing that the screw will be loosened or tightened. This is obviated with the complementary depressions and projections which are described above. The projection may expediently be shaped as a round knob. The depression can be formed asymmetrically with a steep stop face and an inclined guide face. Sufficient retention of the screw can be achieved by these features, even if the threads on it are just formed by about one convolution. The screw can hereby be manufactured by injection moulding using simple tools.
- The invention furthermore relates to the use of a screw as stated in claim 9.
- The invention will be described more fully below in connection with preferred embodiments and with reference to the drawing, in which
- fig. 1 is a side view of a preferred embodiment of a screw according to the invention for use in a toy building set,
- fig. 2 is a schematic view of the coupling between a screw and a threaded hole for the screw shown in fig. 1,
- fig. 3 is a schematic view of the coupling between a screw and a threaded hole for a first alternative embodiment of a screw according to the invention,
- fig. 4 is a perspective view showing how a screw according to the invention together with a wheel hub is placed in another of the building elements of the toy building set, and
- fig. 5 is a schematic view of an alternative arrangement of the interlocking of the screw according to the invention and the threaded hole.
- Fig. 1 shows a screw according to the invention. It comprises a
screw head 12 with a shank having a threadedsection 24 with onethread 25 at the end facing away from thescrew head 12. The threadedsection 24 terminates downwardly in aconical section 22 which is formed with two diametrically positionedlocking holes 23. Theconical section 22 constitutes a borderline section between the threadedsection 24 having a relatively small diameter and the rest of the screw shank having a greater diameter. Thescrew 10 of the invention is preferably manufactured from plastics by injection moulding and it is therefore usually hollow. Theshank section 14 of the screw between thehead 12 and theconical face 22 thus has a greater diameter than the threadedsection 24. Theshank section 14 has anannular bead 19 which is formed with aguide face 21 and a stop face 20. In a preferred embodiment theshank 14 merges into ashank section 16 via a conical guide face 15, theshank section 16 having the same diameter as thebead 19. - Since the
screw 10 has the shape shown in fig. 1, ahub 40, shown in fig. 4, can be received and rotatably secured on theshank portion 14 positioned between thebead 19 and thehead 12. The guide face 21 permits such reception, while the blocking face 20 prevents removal of thehub 40 again. The guide face 15 and theshank section 14 correspond to the hole in thehub 40, and the complementary guide face (not shown) of the hole can advantageously be recessed with respect to the outer side of the hub to provide a better guide between the parts during the assembling process. - The
head 12 on thescrew 10 preferably has longitudinal grooves so that the screw will have a better finger grip when thescrew 10 is to be screwed into another element. As appears from fig. 4, the end face 11 of thescrew head 12 may be formed with an opening which is adapted to receive a specially constructed tool by means of which the screw can be tightened. It is shown in fig. 4 how the screw is adapted to be received in a threadedhole 35 on anotherelement 30 incorporated in the toy building set, said threadedhole 35 having a conical section which is complementary to theconical section 22 of the screw, and which is formed with two diametrically positionedlocking bosses 37. These locking bosses are adapted to be received in thelocking holes 23 of the screw. Thelocking bosses 37 are preferably in the form of small rotational-symmetric knobs, while theholes 23 will be asymmetric. The holes will thus have a guide face serving to guide thelocking bosses 37 into engagement, and a stop face counteracting further tightening. This is possible i.a. because the materials are flexible, and because thethread 25 has a great pitch. It will be clear to a skilled person that it will also be possible to provide the screw with locking bosses, while theconical section 36 on thetoy building element 30 is then provided with complementary locking holes. - It will be appreciated that the screw can be used for other purposes than precisely as a shaft for a wheel, but the principles of the invention are presumably best illustrated in that connection. A vehicle built-with the toy building set may be considered as being bodies consisting of several individual subbodies. These subbodies may e.g. consist of the actual vehicle bottom with a superstructure as well as each of the four wheels. When the overall body is subjected to a load e.g. caused by a drop, torsional forces will occur between the subbodies incorporated in the body. During the drop loading these forces are converted to moments acting between the subbodies. The moments depend partly on the size of the forces, partly on the arm on which the forces act. Since the engagement area of the screw (the
conical section 22 in fig. 1) is positioned at a greater radial distance from the longitudinal axis of the screw than the radius of the threadedsection 24, the point of application of the force will be moved from thetermination 22a of the threaded section to thetransition 22b between theconical area 22 and theshank section 14. The size of the arm on which the force acts will be reduced hereby, while the point ofapplication 22b will transform a bending force acting in the transverse direction of thescrew 10 at a distance form thebuilding element 30 to a tensile force acting in the longitudinal direction of the screw. - Fig. 2 shows a preferred embodiment of the screw of the invention, where a
conical engagement area 22 is provided between the threadedsection 24 of the screw and the rest of theshank 14 of the screw. The screw is screwed into theelement 30 and thus received and retained in the threadedhole 35 and the threadedcoupling 42. Since two complementaryconical sections faces - Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of a screw according to the invention, where the screw via its threaded
section 24 is threadedly coupled with the threaded section of thescrew hole 35. It will be seen that theshank 14 of the screw has the same diameter as the threadedsection 24 of the screw. Relief takes place here through abead 41 with conical faces, theengagement face 22 being one of these. The threaded hole on theelement 30 terminates in a step-wise expansion, so that the engagement face here is just formed by a ring-shapedcontact line 37. This embodiment provides substantially the same technical effect as the embodiment shown in fig. 2, since the point ofapplication 22b will be positioned on thecontact line 37. - Fig. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the screw shown in fig. 1, where the threaded
section 24 of the screw merges into theshank section 14 of the screw via aconical section 22. Thebuilding element 30, into which the screw has been screwed, has a threadedhole 35 with a likewiseconical section 36. The screw is coupled with thebuilding element 30 via the threadedcoupling 42, and the additional fixing between the screw and the element is provided by a pair of lockingbosses 39, which are arranged in the bottom of the threaded hole and are adapted to be received in the tip of the screw in the two locking holes 43 formed there. It is hereby ensured that the force provided by a wheel mounted on the screw does not loosen the screw from thebuilding element 30. This might otherwise occur because of the great pitch of thethread 25. This great pitch is caused by the wish that it should be easy to mount the screw during play and that the production of the screw should be facilitated, it being possible to manufacture it by means of simple tools.
