Description
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf ein baukastenartiges Spielsystem zur Erstellung von Gebäuden, Fahrzeugaufbauten, Landschaftsteilen usw. umfassend Bauelemente aus Kunststoff, die mittels Rast-Steck-Verbindungselementen lösbar miteinander verbindbar sind.The invention is directed to a modular game system for creation of buildings, vehicle bodies, landscape parts, etc. comprehensively Plastic components using snap-in connectors are releasably connectable.
Derartige baukastenartige Spielsysteme sind beispielsweise aus DE 21 11 971 C3, DE 22 08 882 C3 und DE 72 40 172 U1 bekannt. Die Verbindungselemente der bekannten Spielsysteme sind so ausgestaltet, daß sie jeweils symmetrisch aufgebaut sind, d.h. an ihren beiden Kupplungsseiten entsprechend ausgestaltete Rastelemente aufweisen, wobei auch die entsprechenden Spiel-Bauelemente Rastausnehmungen aufweisen, die einheitlich jeweils mit den Rastvorsprüngen der Kupplungselemente korrespondierend ausgestaltet sind.Such modular game systems are, for example, from DE 21 11 971 C3, DE 22 08 882 C3 and DE 72 40 172 U1 are known. The connecting elements of the known game systems are designed that they are each constructed symmetrically, i.e. on their two coupling sides have appropriately designed locking elements, also the corresponding game components have recesses that uniformly corresponding to the locking projections of the coupling elements are designed.
Es sind weiterhin Spielsysteme bekannt, welche ohne gesonderte Kopplungselemente arbeiten, wobei an der einen Seite der Bauelemente Rastvorsprünge und an der anderen Seite korrepondierende Rastausnehmungen angeordnet sind, wobei in der Regel die Rastvorsprünge und Rastausnehmungen nach Art eines Rasters verteilt sind.Game systems are also known which have no separate coupling elements work, with locking projections on one side of the components and corresponding recesses on the other side are arranged, the locking projections and locking recesses as a rule are distributed like a grid.
Aus dem europäischen Patent 0 379 033 sind weiterhin Rastverbindungen fuhr Spielzeugbauelemente bekannt, wobei an plattenförmigen Teilen rasterartige Nuten ausgebildet sind, so daß hierauf entsprechende Ausnehmungen von an den Platten zu befestigenden Bauelementen aufrastbar sind.There are also latching connections from European patent 0 379 033 drove toy components known, being grid-like on plate-shaped parts Grooves are formed so that there are corresponding recesses of components to be attached to the plates can be snapped on.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein baukastenartiges Spielsystem zu schaffen, welches auch die Realisierung großflächiger Bauelemente mit glatten ununterbrochenen Flächen zur Erzielung eines vorbildgetreuen Erscheinungsbildes ermöglicht, wobei diese Bauelemente einerseits mit vertretbarem Kostenaufwand herstellbar sein sollen und anderseits gleichwohl eine so feste Rastverbindung mit dauerhaft gleichbleibenden Rast- und Halteeigenschaften geschaffen werden soll, daß die Realisierung größerer Bauwerke möglich ist und diese dabei so haltbar sind, daß das Kind beispielsweise mit Spielfiguren unter Benutzung dieser Bauwerke spielen kann.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is a modular system To create game system, which also the realization of large areas Components with smooth uninterrupted surfaces to achieve allows a true to the original appearance, these components on the one hand, should be producible at a reasonable cost and on the other hand nevertheless such a firm locking connection with permanent constant locking and holding properties should be created that the construction of larger structures is possible and they are so durable are using the child, for example, with pawns this building can play.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils
des Anspruch 1 gelöst.This task is characterized by the characteristics of the characteristic part
of
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Konzeption wird die Herstellung der eigentlichen Bauelemente getrennt von der Herstellung der Verbindungselemente. Erst dann, wenn das Kind ein derartiges Spielsystem in Benutzung nimmt, bringt es überall dort Verbindungselemente über eine schwer lösbare Rastverbindung an den Bauelementen an, wo es für den jeweiligen Spielzweck solche Verbindungselemente benötigt, d.h. es bleibt dem Kind frei, beispielsweise bestimmte Seiten oder Flächen von Bauelementen nicht mit Verbindungselementen zu bestücken und diese dementsprechend mit einer glatten Oberfläche zu belassen. Durch die Herstellung der schwer lösbaren Rastverbindung entsteht ein gewisser Spielreiz, da das Kind sein Spielsystem praktisch selbst zunächst aktivieren und verwendungsbereit machen muß. Wenn dann anschließend mit so vorbereiteten Bauelementen gespielt wird und ein erstelltes Gebäude od.dgl. wieder umgestaltet werden soll, ist dies aufgrund der zweiten, leicht lösbaren Rastverbindungen problemlos möglich, wobei sichergestellt ist, daß immer nur die leicht lösbaren Rastverbindungen unterbrochen werden und demgegenüber die in die Bauelemente eingesetzten Verbindungselemente an ihrem Platz verbleiben.The conception according to the invention makes the actual production Components separate from the manufacture of the connecting elements. Only when the child uses such a game system it brings fasteners everywhere there over a difficult to solve Snap connection to the components where it is for the respective game purpose such fasteners are needed, i.e. the child remains free For example, certain sides or surfaces of components are not included Fitting connecting elements and accordingly with a to leave a smooth surface. By making the difficult to solve Rest connection creates a certain stimulus to play, since the child uses its play system Activate it yourself and make it ready for use got to. When then played with components prepared in this way is and a built building or the like. to be redesigned again this is no problem due to the second, easily detachable locking connections possible, whereby it is ensured that only the easily detachable Snap connections are interrupted and, in contrast, those in the components used fasteners remain in place.
Es ist dementsprechend möglich, durch diese Bautechnik relativ großflächige Bauelemente, z.B. in Form von Wand- oder Bodenplatten, mit glatter Oberfläche zu realisieren und diese trotzdem haltbar miteinander zu verbinden.Accordingly, it is possible to use this construction technique over a relatively large area Components, e.g. in the form of wall or floor panels, with smooth Realize the surface and still connect it durable.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Verbindungselemente mit ihren zweiten Rasteinrichtungen in die zweiten Rastausnehmungen der Bauelemente derart einsetzbar sind, daß von der jeweiligen, die zweite Rastausnehmung aufnehmenden Oberfläche des Bauelements lediglich die ersten Rastelemente nach außen wegstehen. Dies bedeutet, daß die Verbindungselemente formschlüssig in dem jeweiligen Bauelement aufgenommen sind und lediglich die ersten Rastelemente nach außen vorstehen.In a further embodiment of the invention it can be provided that the Connecting elements with their second locking devices in the second Locking recesses of the components can be used such that the respective, the second locking recess receiving surface of the component only the first locking elements protrude outwards. This means that the connecting elements in the respective Component are included and only the first locking elements after protrude outside.
Diese ersten Rastelemente sind günstigerweise zapfenförmig ausgebildet, insbesondere in Form eines kreuzweise geschlitzten Zapfens.These first latching elements are advantageously cone-shaped, especially in the form of a cross-slotted pin.
Dabei ist mit Vorteil weiterhin vorgesehen, daß die ersten Rastelemente an einem rechteckigen Grundkörper ausgebildet sind und die Schlitze sich in Richtung der Diagonalen des rechteckigen Grundkörpers erstrecken.It is also advantageously provided that the first locking elements a rectangular base body are formed and the slots in Extend in the direction of the diagonals of the rectangular base body.
Im Bereich der äußeren Enden der zapfenförmigen Rastelemente sind günstigerweise Rastvorsprünge ausgebildet, welche sich etwa in Richtung senkrecht zur malen Richtung der zapfenförmigen Rastelemente erstrecken.In the area of the outer ends of the peg-shaped locking elements are favorable Locking projections formed, which are approximately in the direction extend perpendicular to the paint direction of the peg-shaped locking elements.
Diese Rastvorsprünge können sich lediglich über einen Teil eines jeden Sektors der kreuzförmig geschlitzten zapfenförmigen Rastelemente erstrecken, insbesondere derart, daß jeder von vier Rastvorsprüngen sich beiderseits der Mitte einer Rechteckseite erstreckt.These locking projections can only over part of each Sector of the cross-shaped slotted pin-shaped locking elements, in particular such that each of four locking projections extends on both sides of the center of a rectangular side.
Mit Vorteil sind die zweiten Rasteinrichtungen durch Rastvorsprünge an dem Grundkörper der Verbindungselemente gebildet. Dabei kann günstigerweise jeder Grundkörper eine rechteckige, nicht quadratische Grundform aufweisen und die Rastvorsprünge können jeweils an den Längsseiten des Grundkörpers angeordnet sein.The second latching devices are advantageously connected by latching projections the base body of the connecting elements. It can be convenient each basic body has a rectangular, non-square basic shape have and the locking projections can each on the long sides of the Base body to be arranged.
Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird erreicht, daß die Rastverbindung durch Drehbewegungen nicht gelöst wird, dementsprechend als schwer lösbar ist. ein Lösen dieser Rastverbindung ist ausschließlich durch Zug in Richtung senkrecht zu dem Grundkörper des Verbindungselementes möglich. Demgegenüber ermöglicht die vorstehend beschriebene leicht lösbare Rastverbindung mit Hilfe des geschlitzten Zapfens ein Verdrehen von zwei so verbundenen Bauelementen gegeneinander, so daß, ohne daß die leicht lösbare Rastverbindung gelöst werden müßte, Bauelemente relativ zueinander positioniert werden können oder eine Umpositionierung möglich ist.This configuration ensures that the locking connection through Rotational movements is not solved, is accordingly difficult to solve. a release of this locking connection is only by train in the direction perpendicular to the base body of the connecting element possible. In contrast enables the easily detachable locking connection described above with the help of the slotted pin a twisting of two so connected components against each other, so that without the easy releasable locking connection would have to be solved, components relative to each other can be positioned or repositioning is possible.
Diese Verschwenkbarkeit wird neben der Ausgestaltung der ersten Rastelemente als Zapfen auch dadurch ermöglicht, daß die ersten Rastausnehmungen quadratisch ausgebildet und vorzugsweise lediglich zur Außenseite der jeweiligen Bauteil-Außenwand hin offen sind. Dabei können wenigstens zwei gegenüberliegende Seitenwände der Rastausnehmung mit den Rastvorsprüngen der zapfenartigen ersten Rasteransätze korrespondierende Hinterschneidungen aufweisen.This pivotability is in addition to the design of the first locking elements as a pin also allows that the first recesses square and preferably only to the outside of the respective component outer wall are open. At least you can two opposite side walls of the locking recess with the locking projections corresponding undercuts of the cone-like first grid approaches exhibit.
Um demgegenüber bei den zweiten Rastausnehmungen eine Verdrehsicherung korrespondierend zu dem rechteckigen Grundkörper des Verbindungselementes zu schaffen, kann vorgesehen sein, daß die zweiten Rastausnehmungen ebenfalls eine rechteckige Grundform aufweisen und an den beiden sich gegenüberliegenden Längsseiten mit den Rastvorsprüngen der zweiten Rasteinrichtung korrespondierende Hinterschneidungen aufweisen.In contrast, an anti-rotation device for the second locking recesses corresponding to the rectangular base body of the connecting element To create, it can be provided that the second locking recesses also have a rectangular basic shape and the two themselves opposite long sides with the locking projections of the second locking device have corresponding undercuts.
Die Elastizitäts- und Haltbarkeitseigenschaften der Verbindungselemente einerseits und der Bauelemente andererseits sind in der Regel unterschiedlich, so daß dem dadurch Rechnung getragen werden kann, daß unterschiedliche Kunststoffe, z.B. einerseits ABS und andererseits POM erwendet werden. Dies ist ein weiterer wichtiger Vorteil der gesonderten Herstellung der Verbindungselemente und der Bauelemente. The elasticity and durability properties of the fasteners on the one hand and the components on the other are usually different, so that this can be taken into account by the fact that different plastics, e.g. ABS on the one hand and POM on the other be used. This is another important advantage of the separate Manufacture of fasteners and components.
Die Bauelemente können quaderförmig ausgebildet sein und Seitenflächen ohne Rastausnehmungen sowie Seitenflächen mit Rastausnehmungen aufweisen, wobei an unterschiedlichen Seitenflächen Rastausnehmungen entweder der ersten oder der zweiten Art ausgebildet sind. Dabei ist es insbesondere auch möglich, Oberflächen zu schaffen, die keinerlei Rastelemente aufweisen.The components can be cuboid and side surfaces without notches and side surfaces with notches, with recesses on either side of the first or the second type. It is special also possible to create surfaces that have no locking elements exhibit.
Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung sieht vor, daß ein Bauelement plattenartig mit einem sich von der Plattenebene nach unten erstreckenden Rand ausgebildet ist, wobei an der Unterseite des Bauelements innerhalb des Randes Ansätze vorgesehen sind, die mit der Unterkante des Randes fluchten, und in welchen erste Rastausnehmungen vorgesehen sind. Dementsprechend müssen derartige Platten nicht massiv ausgebildet sein, sondern es kann eine gewisse "optische Dicke" erzielt werden unter Einsparung von Material und Gewicht.A preferred embodiment provides that a component is plate-like formed with an edge extending downward from the plate plane is, being on the underside of the component within the edge Approaches are provided that are aligned with the lower edge of the edge, and in which first recesses are provided. Accordingly Such plates do not have to be solid, but can a certain "optical thickness" can be achieved while saving material and weight.
Günstigerweise sind die Ausnehmungen längs zu den Außenkanten parallel der Linien der Bauelemente ausgebildet, wobei der Abstand der Rastausnehmungen jeweils dem Vielfachen eines Rastermaßes entspricht. Dabei können auch zwei Rastermaße vorgesehen sein, wobei ein erstes Rastermaß innerhalb jeweils eines Bauelements realisiert ist und ein zweites Rastermaß dann, wenn zwei benachbarte Bauelemente aneinanderliegen und die so benachbarten Rastausnehmungen einen zweiten Rasterabstand aufweisen.The recesses are advantageously parallel to the outer edges of the lines of the components, the distance between the locking recesses each corresponds to the multiple of a grid dimension. Here two grid dimensions can also be provided, with a first grid dimension is realized within one component and a second grid dimension when two adjacent components lie next to each other and the so adjacent locking recesses have a second grid spacing.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist es auch vorstellbar, daß die Rastausnehmungen schlitzartig-länglich, rechteckig ausgebildet sind, so daß ein Bauelement mit einem Verbindungselement in Längsrichtung des Schlitzes verschiebbar arretierbar ist.In the context of the invention, it is also conceivable that the locking recesses slit-elongated, rectangular, so that a Component with a connecting element in the longitudinal direction of the slot is slidably lockable.
Weiterhin können Verbindungselemente mit zwei leicht lösbaren ersten Rastelementen vorgesehen sein, welche dazu dienen, eine Verbindung zwischen Bauelementen mit zwei korrespondierenen Rastausnehmungen herzustellen, um auf diese Weise Dreh- bzw. Kippmomente abzufangen.Furthermore, connecting elements with two easily detachable first Locking elements are provided, which serve to connect between To produce components with two corresponding notches, to absorb torques or tilting moments in this way.
Schließlich ist es noch möglich, Rastausnehmungen rund auszubilden, so daß beim Herstellen einer Rastverbindung die so verbundenen Teile frei gegeneinander verschwenkt werden können. Diese Ausgestaltung kann immer dann vorgesehen sein, wenn es entweder auf die relative Winkelorientierung zweier zu verbindender Bauteile nicht ankommt oder die Schwenkbarkeit speziell gewünscht wird.Finally, it is still possible to form recesses around, so that when making a snap connection, the parts connected so free can be pivoted against each other. This configuration can always be provided if it is either based on the relative angular orientation two components to be connected does not arrive or the Swiveling is specifically desired.

welches einen in Fig. 2 erkennbaren rechteckigen Grundkörper 2 aufweist.1 shows a connecting
Von der einen Seite dieses Grundkörpers 2 (in Fig. 1 nach oben) erstrecken
sich erste Rastelemente 3 in Form eines Zapfens weg. Der die
Rastelemente 3 bildende Zapfen ist mit kreuzweisen Schlitzen 4 versehen,
die in Richtung der Diagonalen des Grundkörpers 2 (vgl. Fig. 2) verlaufen.Extend from one side of this base body 2 (upwards in FIG. 1)
An den äußeren Enden jedes Sektors 6 der Rastelemente 3 sind Rastvorsprünge
5 ausgebildet. Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 erkennbar, erstrecken
sich die Rastvorsprünge 5 nur über einen Teil jedes Sektors 6 der
zapfenartigen Rastelemente 3, wobei die Außenkanten 7 der Rastvorsprünge
5 parallel zu den Längskanten 8 und Querkanten 9 des Grundkörpers
2 verlaufen.At the outer ends of each
Zweite Rasteinrichtungen 10 sind an der anderen, in Fig. 1 unteren Seite
des Grundkörpers 2 ausgebildet und umfassen zwei Rastvorsprünge 11,
welche sich von den Längsseiten 8 des Grundkörpers nach außen weg,
also senkrecht zur Längsachse 12 der zapfenartigen Rastelemente 3, erstrecken.

eine quadratische Grundform mit abgerundeten Ecken 16 aufweisen und
parallel zu den Seitenwänden 17, 18 in einem ersten Rasterabstand R1
bzw. einem zweiten Rasterabstand R2 angeordnet sind.Each

bzw. Freimachungen 19, 19' auf, die korrespondierend zu den
Rastvorsprüngen 5 ausgebildet sind, d.h. ein lösbares Einrasten der
Rastvorsprünge 5 ermöglichen. Aufgrund der zapfenartigen Ausgestaltung
der Rastelemente 3 und der abgerundet-quadratischen Ausgestaltung der
Rastausnehmungen 15 ist es möglich, Bauelemente 13 und Verbindungsteile

und 15. Hieraus wird deutlich, daß die Hinterschneidungen 19, welche an
zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeder Rastausnehmung 15 ausgebildet
sind, sich in axialer Richtung nur über einen gewissen Abschnitt
erstrecken, wohingegen die Hinterschneidungen 19', welche an dem jeweils
