Abstract

The cross-section of the pin shaft (3), excluding the pointed area (3a), corresponds to the cross-section of the central aperture (6) of the flat-shaped gyroscope body (4). The flat gyroscope body is stamped out of the plate-shaped support (1), maintaining a small intended break point. The stamping process is by means of milling, stamping, wafer jet, and preferably by means of laser. The rear side of the plate-shaped support is covered with a sheet or foil-shaped protective layer (7), preferably on which matter can be printed. The plate-shaped support is rectangular with dimensions 10cm x 15cm.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bausatz für einen Kreisel, bestehend aus einer Kreiselachse, einem oder mehreren Kreiselelementen, die etwa im Bereich ihres Schwerpunktes eine Bohrung aufweisen, deren Querschnitt praktisch gleich dem Querschnitt der Kreiselachse ist, und einer unteren Auflage für das Kreiselelement.The invention relates to a kit for a gyro, consisting of a gyro axis, one or more gyroscopic elements which have approximately in the region of their center of gravity a bore whose cross section is practically equal to the cross section of the gyro axis, and a lower support for the gyro element.

Aus der US-A-2739415 ist ein Kreisel bekannt, der aus einer Kreiselachse, einem Kreiselelement, das etwa im Bereich seines Schwerpunktes eine Bohrung aufweist, deren Querschnitt praktisch gleich dem Querschnitt der Kreiselachse ist, und einer unteren Auflage besteht, auf der das Kreiselelement aufliegt und an der das Kreiselelement über Ausnehmungen und Stifte befestigt ist, die an der unteren Auflage und dem Kreiselelement vorgesehen sind. Ein Griff ist oben auf die Kreiselachse aufgesetzt.From US-A-2739415 a gyroscope is known, which consists of a gyroscope axis, a gyroscopic element which has approximately in the region of its center of gravity a bore whose cross section is substantially equal to the cross section of the gyro axis, and a lower support on which the gyro element rests and on which the gyro element is secured via recesses and pins which are provided on the lower support and the gyro element. A handle is placed on top of the gyro axis.

Ein derartiger Kreisel hat eine durch die Form seiner Bauteile vorgegebene Form, die nicht ohne Weiteres verändert werden kann.Such a gyroscope has a predetermined by the shape of its components form that can not be changed easily.

Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe besteht demgegenüber darin, einen Bausatz für einen Kreisel zu schaffen, mit dem insbesondere Kinder in einfacher Weise Kreisel in verschiedener Ausbildungsform erstellen können und mit dem die Kreativität bezüglich der Formen und Farbzusammenstellungen spielerisch angeregt wird.The object underlying the invention is in contrast to provide a kit for a gyro, with the particular children in a simple way can create gyroscope in various forms and with the creativity in terms of shapes and color schemes is playfully stimulated.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Bausatz für einen Kreisel nach dem Anspruch 1 oder nach dem Anspruch 7 gelöst.This object is achieved by a kit for a gyro according to claim 1 or claim 7.

Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Bausätze sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 2 bis 6 bzw. 8 bis 13.Preferred developments and refinements of the kits according to the invention are the subject matter of claims 2 to 6 or 8 to 13.

Besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden anhand der zugehörigen Zeichnung näher beschrieben.Particularly preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Es zeigenShow it

Fig. 1 in einer auseinandergezogenen perspektivischen Ansicht ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Bausatzes und.Fig. 1 in an exploded perspective view of a first embodiment of the kit according to the invention and.

Der Bausatz gemäß Fig. 1 besteht aus einer Kreiselachse 1, die bevorzugt aus Holz gebildet ist. Die Kreiselachse 1 ist in eine Bohrung 3 in einem oder mehreren flächigen Elementen 2 einschiebbar, wobei diese Elemente derart aneinander angepaßt sind, daß die Achse 1 unter geringer Kraftaufwendung eingeschoben werden kann, jedoch ohne innerhalb der Bohrung 3 zu verrutschen. Die Bohrung 3 ist bevorzugt im Schwer- bzw. Gleichgewichtspunkt des Elements 2 angeordnet, um Gleichlauf des Kreisels zu gewährleisten.The kit of FIG. 1 consists of a gyro axis 1, which is preferably formed of wood. The gyro axis 1 can be inserted into a bore 3 in one or more planar elements 2, these elements are adapted to each other so that the axis 1 can be inserted with little force, but without slipping within the bore 3. The bore 3 is preferably arranged in the gravity or equilibrium point of the element 2 in order to ensure synchronization of the gyroscope.

Das untere Ende der Kreiselachse 1 ist zum fixierenden Einschub in die Bohrung 6a eines halbkugel- oder kegelförmigen Bauteils 6 ausgebildet. Die Schnittfläche des Bauteils 6 dient als untere Auflage 4 für das flächenförmige Element 2. Als obere Auflage dient ein Gummiring 5, der nach Aufschub des oder der Elemente 2 auf die Kreiselachse 1 verriegelnd aufgeschoben wird, so daß das oder die Elemente 2 zwischen der unteren Auflage 4 und der oberen Auflage 5 fixiert sind.The lower end of the rotary axis 1 is designed for fixing insertion into the bore 6 a of a hemispherical or conical component 6. The cutting surface of the component 6 serves as a lower support 4 for the sheet-like element 2. As the upper support is a rubber ring 5, which is postponed after postponement of the element or elements 2 on the gyro axis 1, so that the element or elements 2 between the lower Pad 4 and the upper edition 5 are fixed.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Bausatz werden eine Vielzahl flächenförmiger Elemente 2 zur Verfügung gestellt, die unterschiedliche Formen, Durchmesser und/oder Farben aufweisen, und so bei Bedarf übereinander geordnet, gegebenenfalls mit zwischenliegendem Abstandshalter (z.B. Gummiring), zu verschiedenartigen Kreiseln führen.In the kit according to the invention, a plurality of sheet-like elements 2 are provided, which have different shapes, diameters and / or colors, and if necessary arranged one above the other, optionally with intermediate spacer (for example rubber ring), lead to different rotors.

Bevorzugt besteht das untere, auf der unteren Auflage 4 aufliegende Element 2 aus festem Material, während die darüber anordbaren Elemente beispielsweise aus Stoff, Papier, Fell, Leder, Gaze, Geflecht bestehen; bevorzugt sind die Elemente in Form eines Blütenblätterkranzes oder insbesondere drehsymetrischen Formen ausgebildet.Preferably, the lower, resting on the lower support 4 element 2 made of solid material, while the elements can be arranged over it, for example, made of fabric, paper, fur, leather, gauze, braid; Preferably, the elements are in the form of a petals or in particular rotationally symmetrical shapes.
