Claims (17)

  1. Modulares Konstruktionssystem, beispielsweise für Ausbildungszwecke oder zur Verwendung als Spielzeug, wobei das System zumindest zwei Komponenten (1, 2) zur gegenseitigen, lösbaren Verbindung mittels Kupplungsmitteln aufweist und die Kupplungsmittel
    zwei Kupplungskanten (9), die einen Teil der Wand der einen Komponente (2) und ebenso den Rand einer oder zweier durchgehender Öffnungen (3) in dieser Wand bilden, und
    zwei Kupplungslippen (7), die einen Teil der anderen Komponente (2) bilden, deren Lippen (7) jede geeignet ist, in die eine oder die zwei durchgehenden Öffnungen (3) eingesetzt zu werden, und von denen jede zu diesem Zweck zumindest eine Schnappkante (7) für das Zusammenwirken mit der zugehörigen einen der Kupplungskanten (9) derart aufweist, dass nachdem dieses Zusammenwirken durchgeführt wurde, das Zurückziehen nur durch Ausüben einer gewissen Mindestkraft für das Lösen der Kupplungsmittel stattfinden kann, und wobei die Komponenten (1,2) zumindest teilweise aus Kunststoff bestehen,
    aufweisen,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Kupplungsmittel so angeordnet sind, dass in gekuppeltem Zustand die Kupplungskanten (9) und die Kupplungslippen (7) gegeneinander unter Spannung mit sich derart neigenden Kupplungsflächen drücken, dass bei einer Drehung um ein Paar aus zusammenwirkender Kupplungslippe und -kante der Kontakt zwischen dem anderen Paar aus zusammenwirkender Lippe und Kante gelöst werden kann, und
    eine Stoppfläche eine Verbindung zu den zwei Kupplungslippen (7) herstellt, wobei die Stoppfläche in gekuppelter Stellung mit einiger Kraft gegen zumindest einen Teil einer Kupplungskante (9) so presst, dass die Verbindung zwischen diesen Komponenten spielfrei ist.
  2. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 1,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Kupplungsflächen eine allgemein konvexe Gestalt haben.
  3. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 1,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Kupplungskanten und Kupplungslippen geneigte Druckflächen auf ihren von den Kupplungsflächen entfernt liegenden Seiten haben, wobei diese Druckflächen übereinander gleiten können, um das Kuppeln zu erreichen, wenn eine Druckkraft angewandt wird.
  4. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 3,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Druckflächen eine allgemein konvexe Gestalt haben.
  5. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 2 oder 4,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Kupplungslippen und Teile der mit diesen zusammenwirkenden Kupplungskanten im wesentlichen dieselbe Gestalt haben.
  6. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 1,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Kupplungskanten und Kupplungslippen derart unrund sind, dass die verbundenen Komponenten gegen relatives Verdrehen blockiert sind.
  7. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 1,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Stoppfläche einen Teil einer Flanschplatte bildet.
  8. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 7,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Flanschplatte permanentmagnetisch ist.
  9. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 7,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Flanschplatte in einer Ausnehmung in der Kupplungskante versenkt montierbar ist.
  10. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 9,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Flanschplatte in die Ausnehmung mit geringem Spiel passt.
  11. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 9,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die eine Komponente zwei Paare von Kupplungslippen an jeder Seite der Flanschplatte aufweist und dass die Tiefe der Ausnehmung der Hälfte der Dicke der Flanschplatte so entspricht, dass zwei durch die zuerst erwähnte Komponente verbundene Komponenten mit ihren Kupplungskanten zumindest im wesentlichen wechselseitig aneinander liegend angeordnet sind.
  12. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 1,
    gekennzeichnet durch
    Spannungsmittel zum Anordnen der Lippen unter gerichteter und großer Spannung im eingesetzten Zustand, so dass ein rückwärtiges Herausziehen nur möglich ist, nachdem die Spannungsmittel deaktiviert wurden.
  13. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 12,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Spannungsmittel von außen mittels Steuermitteln gesteuert werden können.
  14. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 12,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Steuermittel Anzeigemittel für den aktiven und inaktiven Zustand der Spannungsmittel aufweisen, wobei die Anzeigemittel z. B. als farbcodierende Mittel ausgeführt werden können.
  15. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch I,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Komponenten aus Kunststoff bestehen, beispielsweise ABS oder Polypropylen (PP).
  16. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 1,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Komponenten durch Spritzgießen hergestellt sind.
  17. Konstruktionssystem nach Anspruch 1,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Komponenten durch Extrudieren hergestellt sind, gefolgt durch ein Aufteilen in Stücke des profilierten prismatischen Stabes, der durch Extrudieren hergestellt ist, und optional gefolgt durch selektives Entfernen ausgewählter Bereiche.
