Une caractéristique des pièces mouvantes de support est qu'elles sont constituées par un corps monopièce mixte, ayant une base ou support d'appui triangle - sphérique équivalente à une huitième partie de la sphère (hexaèdre), d'où (équicentre) se projète une jetée cylindrique à diamètre échelonnées décroissants et munis de nerfs tangentiels générateurs équidistés agissant en goupilles ou encastrage mâles pour le montage des pièces extérieures de recouvrement.A feature of moving support parts is that they are constituted by a mixed one-piece body, having an equivalent triangle or spherical base or support to an eighth part of the sphere (hexahedron), hence (equicenter) projects a cylindrical pier with diameter decreasing staggered and provided with tangential nerves Equidistant generators acting as pins or recessed studs for mounting the outer cover parts.

Une autre caractéristique des pièces mouvantes mentionnées de support est que leurs bases ou patins d'appui, par le plan inférieur, présentent trois chaínes ou rabaissements radiaux et égaux entre eux, dirigés au centre de leurs respectifs côtés et ouverts par leurs extrêmes, qui permettent de guider à nouveau les pièces dans leur déplacement allant au delà du butoir escamotable, qui est placé au point antagonique à la pièce faisant le rôle de pivot de rotation.Another feature of moving parts mentioned support is that their bases or support pads, by the lower plan, present three chains or radial and equal lowerings between them, directed in the center of their respective sides and open by their extremes, which allow the parts to be guided again in their displacement going beyond the retractable stopper, which is placed at an antagonistic point to the part acting as a pivot of rotation.

Un autre détail caractéristique de la pièce de support fixe tenant le rôle de pivot rotatif est qu'elle est constituée de manière égale aux pièces mouvantes de support, la différence étant que le plan inférieur de la base ou patin d'appui ne présente pas les canaux ou rabaissement radiaux, mais, par contre, un saillant concentrique avec format égal et dimension que les creux triangulaires du nucléus et s'incruste dans un d'eux de forme immobilisée, se constituant en organe de pivotage autour duquel se déplace les sept autres pièces mouvante de support.Another characteristic detail of the support piece fixed holding the role of rotary pivot is that it is made up equally of the moving support parts, the difference being that the bottom plane of the base or skate support does not have radial channels or lowering, but, on the other hand, a concentric salient with equal format and dimension as the triangular hollows of the nucleus and encrusted in one of them of immobilized form, constituting in organ pivot around which the other seven parts move moving support.

Un autre aspect spécifique à l'invention est l'incorporation d'un butoir de conditions rétractifs ou escamotables, se trouvant dans un point antagoniquement opposé au pivot ou pièce fixe de support, se trouvant également placé et encaissé au creux triangulaire du nucléus respectif. Ce butoir permet d'arrêter éventuellement la pièce mouvante de support dans son déplacement. Mais une légère pression de poussée permet d'aller au delà du butoir qui s'occulte ou escamote et émerge ou monte quand la pression monte.Another aspect specific to the invention is the incorporation of a retractable conditions buffer or retractable, located in an antagonically opposite point to the pivot or fixed support part, also located and cashed in the triangular hollow of the respective nucleus. This stopper allows the moving part to be stopped support in its displacement. But a slight pressure from push allows to go beyond the bumper which is hidden or retracts and emerges or rises when the pressure rises.

Un détail caractéristique du butoir est le fait qu'il se trouve constitué par une boule qui subit la pression d'un ressort et se trouve logé dans une tarière à bouche évasée munie d'un petit talon ou cale qui possède un format triangulaire et qui ajuste à pression dans un des creux triangulaire du nucléus, plus précisément dans le creux antagonique au pivot de rotation. La pression du ressort qui se trouve situé par dessous la boule et contenu dans ledit creux triangulaire du nucléus, pousse de manière permanente la bille qui, dû à la bouche évasée de son logement, un petit casque sphérique émerge ou sort,A characteristic detail of the stopper is the fact that it found constituted by a ball which undergoes the pressure of a spring and is housed in an auger with a flared mouth fitted with a small heel or wedge which has a format triangular and which adjusts to pressure in one of the hollows triangular of the nucleus, more precisely in the hollow antagonistic to the pivot of rotation. The pressure of the spring which is located below the ball and contained in said triangular hollow of the nucleus, permanently pushes the ball which, due to the flared mouth of its housing, a small spherical helmet emerges or comes out,

Un autre aspect qui est spécifique à l'invention est que huit pièces externes de recouvrement sont disposée ou fixées par encaissage, par assemblage d'emboítement (à baïonnette ou autre) dans les jetées mâles des sept pièces mouvante et la fixe de support. Ces huit pièces comprennent un octant du corps de l'ensemble et, chacune, une portion proportionnelle, régulière ou irrégulière, de l'objet reproduit ou représenté.Another aspect which is specific to the invention is that eight external cover pieces are arranged or fixed by casing, by socket assembly (at bayonet or other) in the male piers of the seven pieces and the fixed support. These eight pieces include a octant of the whole body and, each, a portion proportional, regular or irregular, of the object reproduced or represented.

Un détail caractéristique des pièces de recouvrement mentionnées est qu'elles sont intégrées par un bouclier triangulaire sphérique (hexaédrique) du jouet), munies intérieure et axialement d'une frette cylindrique convenablement renforcée d'une entaille femelle en forme d'étoile assemblable avec le profil de la jetée mâle des pièces mouvantes - fixe du support.A characteristic detail of the cover pieces mentioned is that they are integrated by a shield triangular (hexahedral) of the toy), provided inside and axially of a cylindrical hoop suitably reinforced with a shaped female cut of star assembly with the profile of the male pier of moving parts - fixed support.

Bien évidemment, la partie extérieure du bouclier présente la portion, convenablement décorée, dessinée ou représentée, de la reproduction estimée de l'ensemble, quel que soit l'objet que celle - ci manifeste.Obviously, the outer part of the shield presents the portion, suitably decorated, drawn or represented, of the estimated reproduction of the set, what whatever the object that it manifests.

Une idée plus ample des caractéristiques de l'invention sera donné par la suite, lors de la considération de la lame de dessins qui fait partie de ce mémoire, où, de manière légèrement schématique et seulement à titre d'exemple, se représentent les détails préférés de l'invention. A broader idea of the characteristics of the invention will be given later, when considering the blade of drawings which is part of this thesis, where, so slightly schematic and only as an example, show the preferred details of the invention.

  • DESCRIPTION DES DESSINSDESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

    En ce qui concernes ces illustrations (fig. 4), le nucléus sphérique est signalé de manière générale avec (1); l'organe de guidage (figure 5) pour les pièces mouvantes de support, et est signalé avec (2); ces pièces mouvantes (figure 6) avec (3); la pièce fixe de support /(figure 7) avec (4); le talon ou cale pour le butoir rétractif avec (5); une pièce externe de recouvrement (figure 9) avec (6) et le bouton de fixation des organes de guidage (2) (figure 10) avec (7).With regard to these illustrations (fig. 4), the spherical nucleus is generally indicated with (1); the guide member (Figure 5) for the moving parts of support, and is flagged with (2); these moving parts (figure 6) with (3); the fixed support part / (FIG. 7) with (4); the heel or wedge for the retractable buffer with (5); a piece external cover (figure 9) with (6) and the fixing the guide members (2) (figure 10) with (7).

    Le nucléus (1) (figure 4) constituant l'organe central pour le développement du corps du jouet est composé par un corps sphérique semi - creux leste de masse, sous - divisé par trois plans doubles parallèles et équidistants (10 - 10a - 10b) distribués orthogonalement selon leurs axes de coordonnées, et configurant six logements prismatiques (11) pour soutien des organes de guidage (2) (figure 5); huit vidés ou creux triangle - sphériques (12) qui servent de logement, du moins, pour la pièce de support fixe (4) (figure 7) et le talon ou cale porte - butoir (5) (figure 8) et huit espaces morts (13) dans l'intersection d'uns et autres pour permettre la diminution de masse du corps.The nucleus (1) (figure 4) constituting the central organ for the development of the toy body is composed by a semi-hollow spherical body ballast of mass, subdivided by three parallel and equidistant double planes (10 - 10a - 10b) distributed orthogonally along their axes of coordinates, and configuring six prismatic housings (11) to support the guide members (2) (Figure 5); eight videos or hollow triangle - spherical (12) which serve as accommodation, at least, for the fixed support piece (4) (Figure 7) and the bumper heel or wedge (5) (figure 8) and eight spaces dead (13) in the intersection of others and others to allow decrease in body mass.

    Les logements prismatiques (11) ont une profondeur moyenne, et, au fond, un trou borgne fileté convenablement pour permettre la fixation du bouton (7) (figure 10).The prismatic housings (11) have a depth medium, and, at the bottom, a suitably threaded blind hole to allow the fixing of the button (7) (figure 10).

    Lesdits logements (11) comptent avec les organes de guidage (2) (figure 5) tenus par six boutons (7) (figure 10) et avec l'interposition d'un ressort (8) (figure 10) agissant en amortisseur selon montre la figure 2. Said housings (11) count with the organs of guide (2) (figure 5) held by six buttons (7) (figure 10) and with the interposition of a spring (8) (figure 10) acting as a shock absorber according to Figure 2.

    L'organe de guidage (2) (figure 5) est une pièce entière en (T) de plante carrée, arc - sphérique (20) de côtés arc - concaves (21) et un fût vertical (23) prismatique à section -carrée pour son logement en (11) avec intérieur cylindrique creux (24) fini en une tarière de moindre diamètre (25) passant pour passage du bouton (7) (figure 10) et une embouchure supérieure avec siège (22) pour la tête du bouton mentionné (7).The guide member (2) (Figure 5) is a whole piece in (T) of square plant, spherical arc (20) with arc sides concaves (21) and a vertical prismatic barrel (23) with cross-section - square for its housing in (11) with cylindrical interior hollow (24) finished in a smaller diameter auger (25) passing for passage of the button (7) (figure 10) and a upper mouth with seat (22) for the button head mentioned (7).

    Les quatre côtés (21) avec la tête ou plante carrée (20) soutiennent les points coincidents d'un numéro égal de bases des pièces mouvantes - fixe de support (3-4) (figures 6-7), servant de guides pour reconduire le déplacement des mouvantes.The four sides (21) with the square head or plant (20) support the coincident dots of an equal number of bases moving parts - fixed support (3-4) (Figures 6-7), serving as guides to extend the movement of moving.

    Les huit pièces à support mouvantes - fixe (3-4) (figure 6-7) ont une configuration similaire, mais une fonction différente. En effet, les sept pièces mouvantes (3) glissent ou se déplacent par l'action manuelle sur les six plans mouvants de la sphère, et la pièce restante (4) reste fixe, servant de pivot excentrique de rotation aux autres.The eight moving support pieces - fixed (3-4) (figure 6-7) have a similar configuration, but a function different. Indeed, the seven moving parts (3) slide or move by manual action on the six planes moving of the sphere, and the remaining part (4) remains fixed, serving as an eccentric pivot for rotation to others.

    Les sept pièces mouvantes de support (3) (figure 6) sont composée par un corps monopièce mixte, de base ou support d'appui triangle équilatère (30) à côtés convexes (31) de biseautage en plan chanfrain (36) descendant ou parti vers le plan inférieur.The seven moving support parts (3) (Figure 6) are composed by a one-piece mixed body, base or support of equilateral triangle support (30) with convex sides (31) of bevelling in the chanfrain plane (36) descending or leaving towards the lower shot.

    Ce plan inférieur à trois canaux ou rabaissement radiaux (32) projetés vers le centre de chaque côté (31) et ouverts par leurs extrêmes respectifs, et dont l'intersection coïncide avec la projection perpendiculaire extérieure d'une jetée s'élevant verticalement (35) et de sections échelonnées décroissantes ascendantes (34) comptant également avec des nervures tangentiels et génératrices (35) à 120 ° constituant le moyen mâle pour assemblage et soutien des pièces externes de recouvrement (6) (figure 9). This plane less than three radial channels or lowering (32) projected towards the center on each side (31) and open by their respective extremes, and whose intersection coincides with the perpendicular external projection of a pier rising vertically (35) and staggered sections decreasing ascending (34) also counting with tangential and generative ribs (35) at 120 ° constituting the male means for assembly and support of the external parts of cover (6) (Figure 9).

    La pièce de support fixe (4) (figure 7) offre des parties identiques (40 - 41 - 43 - 44 45 et 46) aux parties respectives analogues (30 - 31 - 33 -34 -35 et 36) de la pièce antérieure (3).The fixed support piece (4) (figure 7) offers parts identical (40 - 41 - 43 - 44 45 and 46) to the parts respective analogs (30 - 31 - 33 -34 -35 and 36) of the part anterior (3).

    Cependant, le plan inférieur de ta base (40) est recouvert par un saillant concentrique (42) formant une cane permettant d'encaisser la pièce dans un des creux triangle - sphériques (12) du nucléus (1) (figure 4).However, the bottom plane of your base (40) is covered by a concentric projection (42) forming a cane allowing to collect the coin in one of the triangle hollows - spherical (12) of the nucleus (1) (Figure 4).

    Le creux (12) diamétralement opposé ou antagonique au lieu de montage (12) de la pièce de support fixe (4) (figure 7) sert à installer le talon ou cane porte butoir rétractif (5) (figure 8).The hollow (12) diametrically opposite or antagonistic to the mounting location (12) of the fixed support part (4) (figure 7) used to install the heel or retractable stopper cane (5) (Figure 8).

    Ce talon (5) est composé d'une simple pièce triangle équilatère (50) aux côtés arc - convexes (51)
    de biseautage en plan chanfrain (52) entrant ou en fugue vers l'intérieur, en forme de cale, pour ajuster au creux triangle - sphérique (12) du nucléus (1) étant muni d'une trou centrale (équicentrique) (53), avec une embouchure supérieure (54) en biseautage en plan chanfrain évasé vers l'extérieur.
    This heel (5) is composed of a simple equilateral triangle piece (50) with arc-convex sides (51)
    chamfer plane bevel (52) entering or running inward, wedge-shaped, to adjust to the triangle-spherical hollow (12) of the core (1) being provided with a central hole (equicentric) (53) , with an upper mouth (54) bevelling in a chanfrain plan flared outwards.

    Ce trou sert au logement de la bille (9) qui subit la pression du ressort (90). La bille émerge partiellement en une portion équivalente à un casque sphérique par la bille évasée (54).This hole is used for housing the ball (9) which undergoes the spring pressure (90). The ball partially emerges in a portion equivalent to a spherical helmet by the flared ball (54).

    Les jetées mâles (33) des sept pièces mouvantes à support (3) et la jetée mâle (43) de la pièce de support fixe (4) servent au montage des huit pièces externes de recouvrement (6) (figure 9) qui conformeront le corps externe de l'ensemble ou corps du jouet lui - même.The male jetties (33) of the seven moving moving parts (3) and the male jetty (43) of the fixed support piece (4) are used to mount the eight external cover parts (6) (figure 9) which will conform the external body of the assembly or the body of the toy itself.

    Les pièces externes de recouvrement (6) sont fondamentalement égales. Elles sont toutes composées par des fragments triangle - sphériques (60) correspondants à un octant du développement extérieur du corps (sphérique) du jouet. Avec ses côtés arc - convexes (61) et les bords de celui - ci en chanfrain biseauté entrant (62) et muni intérieure et centralement d'un appendice (63) radialement renforcé à l'aide de nervures à 120 ° (64) et intérieurement muni d'une entaille femelle (65) aussi avec rainures à 120 ° pour assemblage aux jetées (33 - 43) des pièces de support (3 et 4) (figures 6 et 7). Il s'agit finalement d'un assemblage connecté à baïonnette.The outer cover pieces (6) are basically equal. They are all composed of triangle - spherical fragments (60) corresponding to a octant of the external development of the (spherical) body of the toy. With its arc - convex sides (61) and the edges of this in beveled chamfer entering (62) and provided inside and centrally of an appendage (63) radially reinforced with 120 ° ribs (64) and internally provided a female notch (65) also with 120 ° grooves for assembly of the support pieces (3 and 4) at the jetties (33 - 43) (Figures 6 and 7). It is ultimately an assembly connected to bayonet.

    La partie extérieure de la pièce (6) comprend une portion externe (66) de l'objet représenté par l'ensemble. Cette - ci montre l' "oreille" d'une tête d'animal, reproduite par l'ensemble.The outer part of the part (6) comprises a portion external (66) of the object represented by the assembly. This shows the "ear" of an animal head, reproduced by all.

    Le bouton (7) (figure 10) servant de fixation pour l'organe de guidage (2) (figure 5) est constitué par un sortant muni de tête (70) est finit en une zone bouchée mécanisée (71), et entre l'une et l'autre se forme un goulot (73) délimité par la tête (70) et un siège (72) où se loge un ressort (8) (figure 10 - E) servant d'amortissage pour la tête (20) de l'organe de guidage (2).The button (7) (figure 10) serving as fixing for the guide member (2) (Figure 5) consists of a outgoing fitted with head (70) is finished in a blocked area mechanized (71), and between one and the other forms a neck (73) delimited by the head (70) and a seat (72) where a spring (8) (figure 10 - E) serving as cushioning for the head (20) of the guide member (2).

    FONCTIONNEMENTOPERATION

    Tout l'ensemble s'arme sur la structure du nucléus (1), le volume de l'ensemble pouvant avoir la même forme sphérique du nucléus (1) ou une autre polyédrique équivalente géométriquement.The whole unit is armed with the nucleus structure (1), the volume of the assembly can have the same spherical shape of the nucleus (1) or another equivalent polyhedral geometrically.

    Les logements (11) servent au montage des six organes de guidage (2) à l'aide de boutons (7) avec incorporation du ressort (8) (figure 2). Chaque côté (21) de la tête (20) de l'organe en question marchent simultanément sur deux sommets contigus des bases (30 - 40) des supports (3 - 4) mouvant et fixe.The housings (11) are used for mounting the six guidance (2) using buttons (7) with incorporation of spring (8) (figure 2). Each side (21) of the head (20) of the organ in question walk simultaneously on two summits contiguous bases (30 - 40) of the supports (3 - 4) moving and fixed.

    Les sept supports mouvants (3) se montent sur la surface du nucléus (1) y permettant ainsi le déplacement par action manuelle.The seven moving supports (3) are mounted on the surface of the nucleus (1) allowing movement by action manual.

    Un des creux triangulaires du nucléus sphérique sert au montage de ta pièce de support fixe (4) inamoviblement. Le creux (12) antagonique sert au montage du talon ou cale porte - butoir rétractif (5) avec la bille (9) et le ressort (90).One of the triangular hollows of the spherical nucleus is used for mounting of your fixed support piece (4) irremovably. The antagonic hollow (12) used for mounting the heel or door wedge - retractable stopper (5) with ball (9) and spring (90).

    Une fois le squelette intérieur du jouet structuré, celui - ci se recouvre avec huit octants égaux (6) assemblés par connexion par les jetées (33 - 43) des pièces de support (3 - 4), formant te corps extérieur de l'ensemble, évidemment circonscrit au nucléus.Once the internal skeleton of the toy is structured, the one - it overlaps with eight equal octants (6) assembled by connection by the jetties (33 - 43) of the support parts (3 - 4), forming the external body of the whole, obviously circumscribed to the nucleus.

    La condition mobile des sept pièces (3) en permet le déplacement dans les trois sens (10 - 10a - 10b) de la division orthogonale du nucléus (1), grâce au mouvement des casques semi - sphériques délimités par ces divisions ou:

  • a): la pièce (4) agit en pivot rotatif des pièces mouvantes restantes (3).
  • b): le butoir (9) permet le contrôle de la limite de tournée, et il est possible de varier le sens et le reconduire à l'aide des canaux radiaux (32) des pièces mouvantes (3). De tels déplacements permettent de placer chaque partie externe (6) au lieu correspondant pour former correctement l'objet que le jouet reproduit. Tout ceci demande évidemment une certaine habilité, vision et sens mathématique pour l'obtenir de manière rapide et efficace.
  • The mobile condition of the seven parts (3) allows it to move in three directions (10 - 10a - 10b) of the orthogonal division of the nucleus (1), thanks to the movement of the semi-spherical helmets delimited by these divisions or:
  • a): the part (4) acts as a rotary pivot of the remaining moving parts (3).
  • b): the stopper (9) allows control of the travel limit, and it is possible to vary the direction and extend it using the radial channels (32) of the moving parts (3). Such movements make it possible to place each external part (6) at the corresponding place to correctly form the object that the toy reproduces. All this obviously requires a certain skill, vision and mathematical sense to obtain it quickly and efficiently.

MULTI-COMBINABLE DIDACTIC SKILL-DEVELOPING AND RECREATIONAL DEVICE, made up of a mainly spherical nucleus upon which a set of eight parts is structured and mounted, with a base equivalent to an octant of the same, of which seven are movable and one fixed. All the parts have means to receive eight covering parts, which form the volume that circumscribes the nucleus and defines the unit by reproducing a determinate object. This device consists of a nucleus (1) made up of a spherical body, lightened in mass, subdivided into three planes that are orthogonal with each other (10-10a-10b) and which define six equidistant points that form square-sectioned housings (11), eight triangular-spherical cavities (12) and, between these, eight cavities forming dead volumes (13), six guide parts that are fixed in the points that form the square-sectioned housings (11); eight triangular-spherical support parts (3-4), of which seven are movable (3) and one fixed (4), that are guided and held by the guide parts (2) and provided with male prismatic means with a stepped profile (33-43) for joining with eight triangular-spherical outer covering parts (6), each of which is equivalent to an octant of the outer body, including also a retractable checking element (5) mounted at a point diametrically opposite or antagonistic to the position of the fixed support part (4).
    2. MULTI-COMBINABLE DIDACTIC SKILL-DEVELOPING AND RECREATIONAL DEVICE, as claimed in claim 1, in which the lightened spherical nucleus (1) is characterized in that the three planes (10-10a-10b) subdivide orthogonally, and by the fact that to each plane correspond two equidistant parallel surfaces which, at their intersection, form prismatic square-sectioned housings (11) of medium depth and provided with blind drill holes (14) for fixing the bolts (7) that serve, in turn, to attach the guide parts (2).
    3. MULTI-COMBINABLE DIDACTIC SKILL-DEVELOPING AND RECREATIONAL DEVICE, as claimed in claim 1, which consists of a guide part (2), characterized in that it is a T-shaped part with a arched-spherical square head (20) and concave sides (21) provided with a hollow prismatic shaft (23) to cooperate with the housings (11) and having axially a housing (24) for a spring, with a lower outlet (25) for the attachment bolt (7) and a hollow (22) at the mouth that serves as seating for the head of the said bolt (7).
    4. MULTI-COMBINABLE DIDACTIC SKILL-DEVELOPING AND RECREATIONAL DEVICE, as claimed in claim 1, in which the seven movable supporting parts (3) and the fixed supporting part (4) are characterized in that they are defined by being composed of a mixed part made up of a base or supporting shoe (30-40), equivalent to an octant of a sphere, which is triangular-spherical and has arched-convex sides (31-41) and bevelled, recess-chamfered edges (36-46), from whose base a shaft projects in perpendicular elevation (33-43). This shaft is prismatic with descending stepped levels (34-44) and has tangential bands in descending steps that form generatrices at 120° (35-45) where the outer covering parts engage (6).
    5. MULTI-COMBINABLE DIDACTIC SKILL-DEVELOPING AND RECREATIONAL DEVICE, as claimed in claim 4, in which the seven movable supporting parts (3) are characterized in that in the lower plane of its base (30) there are channels or slots of medium thickness (32) projected at 120° to the centre of their sides (31) and with open ends, by way of guides, that allow the movement to be guided.
    6. MULTI-COMBINABLE DIDACTIC SKILL-DEVELOPING AND RECREATIONAL DEVICE, as claimed in claim 4, in which the fixed support part (4) is characterized in that the lower plane of its base (40) has a Concentric projection (42) of identical form that allows it to be fitted into one of the triangular-spherical cavities (12) of the nucleus (1).
    7. MULTI-COMBINABLE DIDACTIC SKILL-DEVELOPING AND RECREATIONAL DEVICE, as claimed in claim 1, which consists of a retractable checking element (5) housed in a triangular-spherical cavity (12) that is antagonistic to that of the fixed support part (4), characterized in that it is made up of a small heel or wedge in the form of an arched-spherical equilateral triangle (50), with arched-convex edges (51) that are strongly bevelled with recessed chamfering (52), and provided, in turn, with a slightly trumpet-shaped (54) equicentric drill hole (53) at the upper mouth through which a ball (9) partially projects that is pressed by a spring (90) where it is seated and which yields to the pressure of the movable supporting parts (3) when they move upon it.
    8. MULTI-COMBINABLE DIDACTIC SKILL-DEVELOPING AND RECREATIONAL DEVICE, as claimed in claim 1, which consists of eight outer covering parts (6), characterized in that they are equivalent to an octant of the spherical body (6) with arched-convex sides (61) having bevelled edges with recessed chamfering (62) and provided inside with an equicentric hollow prismatic collar (63) that is, in turn, reinforced radially with bands and axially with a female joint (65) slotted vertically at 120° for fitting into the male shafts (33-43) of the supporting parts (3-4), and provided outside with a portion of the profile, outline or optional version (66) of the object reproduced.
    9. MULTI-COMBINABLE DIDACTIC SKILL-DEVELOPING AND RECREATIONAL DEVICE, as claimed in claims 1, 2 and 3, which consists of a bolt that, in turn, may hold the guide parts (2) in the housings (11) of the nucleus (1), characterized in that it has one end in the form of a machined screw hole for fixing (71), and a limiting head (70) between which a space or neck is created for housing an absorbing and tensing (8) spring and a seating (72) at the start of the screw thread (71) for supporting it.
