Abstract

MODULAR TOY CONSTRUCTION, composed of a set of structural members, consisting of rod-plugs with end and intermediate anchoring plugs; mixed square prismatic bars and emptied inside with intermediate anchoring gudgeons and external anchoring gudgeons or external anchoring plugs; a ring or radial gudgeons pinched in "U", with multiple integral or partial development, recessed internal fittings and a equicentral housing device with means of jibbing means related to each other together with different supplements completing the formation of structures and exact regular dihedric and polyhedric volumes.

Description

The invention refers to a modular toy construction, consisting of a series of basic parts shaped to assemble or fit them to construct complex toy structures, as well as, by means of developments based on the parts themselves, to likewise construct complementary parts or others giving a determined finish, functionality or movement to the combination or structured body.
A modular construction, according to the invention, which is essentially based on the development of a minimum of parts that may be assembled or recessed which, being provided with beneficial linking means permitting the establishment of unions, knots, connections or joints of, practically any shape or regular geometric frame, both straight and curved, being possible that they be flat, spherical, discoidal, dihedric or polyhedric.
According to the invention, said parts may be sized with the measurements required, although this capability is attributed to the main members of the structure, whose over sizing does not demand special changes in its manufacture, that is, that by maintaining its specific design joints the only variable will be its length, which would be repeated as many times as may be fitted in said size of the assembly, linking or recessing means, corresponding to this part.
Therefore, according to the invention, the core gudgeon component, integrated by a ring of anchoring members, a ring which is known, but in its constructive solution, will be manufactured by means of a complete or partial annular development, being possible to count with partial toothing of a member, two or more until the total permitted by the ring diameter or radius.
A specific solution of the invention is that the plugs are manufactured with a mixed or ambivalent part, such that its assembly plug ends consist of a body with gudgeon devices according to that admitted by its length, with an anchoring solution which is the same the assembly gudgeon ring has.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The system of the invention is based on the toy construction development patented in the USA by Glikman, having its most representative version in US patent number 5350331 which is the culminating point, US patent number 5061219 and US patent number 5137486 which mainly comprise a connection component provided with one or several radial swinging arms and a set of structural components between them to carry out a structure system identified with the geometrical principle of complementary triangles, comprising a lattice or framework, where the hypotenuse of the base triangle is the leg of the associated complementary triangle. The US Patent No. 08/725.095 is a construction set based on a set of parts, joined by assembling their members, among which, there is a gudgeon catch ring with anchorage that may be complete at 360° or proportionally, passing through the entire scale, it may be a part of the latter at 45° and a rod or plug which at its ends has assembly or fastening gudgeons.
Other fittings are subdivided from this set of parts. The catching is carried out by means of a side fastening which, by slightly forcing the small elastic stress of the part, the teeth interlock in a throat, gudgeon anchoring of the rod or set plug.
This assembly allows the rod to rotate. Also the gudgeon part has a central or equal central housing for a rod, especially a free housing of the rod.
In the other reference, patent EP No. 97500115.3 "TOY CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM", also containing a set of parts that may be assembled, where the union is articulated, being possible to pivot over the same point of union, on counting with a spheric plug member and a trough consisting of two spherical caps and where the spherical plug head has a cylindrical crest forming the pivoting point itself.
Another solution of this system is that the plug parts integrate a ring of radial plug members, with a circular core provided with a circular mouth endowed with slots for jibbing of other parts which belong to the ring and which compose assembly plug volumes, according to the different coordinated axis of a regular geometric body.

INVENTIVE STEP

The invention contributes a new anchoring system between the parts to be assembled, having the capability of sufficient fastening and non-detachability among the assembled parts; enabled to articulate with the shape of a joint or to rotate in any of its interlocking points, between the receiving gudgeon component ring and the plug end of the rods.
It is also intended to enable said rods with the body provided with its own intermediate or equidistant means, according to a fixed elevation as a value of the distance satisfied in the entire system, to be fastened with the possibility of locking said ring with its own means.
It is also intended that said ring provides means, specifically its equicentral housing, with a special shape to freely receive said rods and other complementary members with the possibility to rotate or not.
Another capability of the invention is to contribute mixed bars having ends with assembly plugs. It consists of a body having gudgeon housings to receive rods of the previous plug type or other parts under the same conditions as the equicentral ring means.
Another idea of the invention is that the equicentral gudgeon means of the rings have two different versions, regarding the receiving means of other parts of the assembly and, in another version, the mentioned gudgeon means consist of non-detachable assembly plug means, to be assembled on the mentioned equicentral gudgeon means or on other intermediate gudgeon means of the mentioned mixed bars.
Another capability of the invention is to develop mixed curvilinear bars with or without anchoring plug means and with a different number intermediate gudgeon housings of this type.
Another functionality of the project is to incorporate equivalent parts, both with peripheric plug means of the mentioned type and circular gudgeon means of the mentioned type.
It considers the contribution of parts to form the housing or body of the objects that may be obtained with the mentioned construction members which we will call superficial parts.
Therefore, the essential idea of the invention is to develop constructions with a greater structural and functional complexity where the shapes and their functional behaviors approach more reality or the tridimensional toy specifically constituted as such, and not by means of a construction system by parts.
Another basic purpose of the invention is therefore that of constructing regular geometric volumes, such as a regular straight hexahedral, a regular spherical body, a regular cylinder, or a mixed body with possible combination of the latter.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

According to the invention, the set of parts integrating the system are the mentioned plug part, a rod having spherical members at its ends, basically oblate on two opposite planes, provided for their assembly on the anchoring or assembly gudgeon members, such that the oblate parts, limit the head diameter to reconduct its entry in the gudgeon anchoring members, rotating the rod a quarter of a turn. Said head remains housed in the gudgeon member with the possibility of rotating and articulating being doubled with a suitable inclination, towards one side or another of the gudgeon anchoring member by the two open parts of the mentioned gudgeon anchoring member.
A mentioned anchoring gudgeon member, which specifically is a "U" fork basically having a substantially spherical trough and an entrance with less diameter than said trough. An entrance through which the oblate planes of the spherical head of the rod or plug member pass, as well as a head that remains housed and pinched in the mentioned spherical trough and which, rotating a quarter of a turn, remains interlocked, preventing that it detaches unless that the opposite maneuver is made or it is pulled forcing the pinching.
A spherical trough, according to the invention, having small salients on one side or other of the trough, respectively situated in an area next to their respective entrances and a diagonally opposite or inversely antagonic position, such that whatever the selected entrance of the fork, the spherical head remains restricted or retained by two small interlocking stops, preventing the head from detaching alone, but not preventing its rotation or articulation.
Essentially, the diagonally opposite and inversely antagonic arrangement of the salients within the spherical pinching trough, assures an easy shake out of the part, without forcing it, being possible to open the azial mold, antagonically and regularly.
The mentioned plug member in the form of a rod, which is cylindrical rod likewise oblate in two opposite coplanar planes with the head oblates and that the cylindrical part consists of equidistant sections, as many permitting the extension of the rod, comprising as many other specific sections that may likewise freely assembled or fixed on the gudgeon anchoring or housing of the remaining gudgeon parts, in a crossed position, whether centered or uncentered, under the same conditions as the mentioned plug head, that is, it being possible to rotate or articulate in the two possible directions across the two entrances of the fork.
The initially mentioned plug rods, beneath the neck of the spherical assembly heads, have some straight side undercuttings so that, the articulation of the plug rods in the anchoring or pinching housings of the rings and mixed bars, articulate in the same direction as the openings of said forks, preventing articulation in opposite directions.
A gudgeon part which is a circular ring with as many gudgeon anchoring or pinching forks as may fitted in the complete diameter of the latter or that may be partial rings equipped with one, two, three or more forks or as many that may form the complete ring, constituting multiple angles of 45° until completing the 360° of the ring or in as many combinations as may fit in the geometric sections of this scale.
Said rings, according to the invention, consists of a circular core provided with likewise equicentral circular housing. A housing that has a regular square version and another, which is made in an angular core which, internally is octagonal and which has less height than the ring core, but which is coplanar with one of the faces of this ring.
In said housings, it is possible to install the mentioned free or fixed plug rods by means of a linch pin.
For this purpose, the invention contributes two sockets having an external adjustable configuration to the respective housing and an internal configuration provided with a spline to optionally immobilize rod installation.
In this case, the spline is a rectangular slot for jibbing of a specific plug member, related to the mentioned pinching gudgeon means, a specific component which among others, may be a cylindrical pin or bushing integrated by three lugs arranged at 120° and with different lengths; two of them shorter and equal to each other with ends having chamfered edges and a prismatic triangular section and the other, longer, of the same section and finished by an external lateral salient. The difference of length between one and the other is equivalent to the height of the base from which the former project. This base forms a relative elevation with the support face over the gudgeon fork.
On the one hand, this configuration permits that the lateral salient of the long lug catches against the opposite edge of the circular housing, fitting in the spline and the other, that the other equal plug member, may be housed through the opposite side of the housing, being respectively imbricated, being possible to fit two plug parts of this type, on one and other side of the housing.
A gudgeon member, according to the invention, associated with a pin or cylindrical bushing of the lugs at 120°, where the support plane consists of a gudgeon housing, which is a proportional part of the circular housing of the ring and of the bars, and which especially in its interior, in the straight horizontal support plane, has a partial and eccentric semi-cylindrical salient for recessing of a respective groove foreseen in a prismatic lug, associated to a complementary gudgeon fork member having a dihedric base to form a spherical body of gudgeon fork members.
Another essential feature of the invention is that the mentioned plug member is a mixed bar which, in one case is: a rod having plug components at its ends formed by said spherical heads and a rectangular hollow prismatic gudgeon body which, internally, has as many circular housings with linch pins as admitted by the length of the rod. Some housings whose centers are equidistant from the edges of the spherical plug heads and also equidistant from the centers of other housings located in the axis of the bar, centers which in all cases, have the same distance.
Another detail is that the invention in another case, has other bars which having the same characteristics as those mentioned and a single intermediate gudgeon housing at their ends, has gudgeon pinching means with equal interlocking salients for the oblate heads of the plug rods.
This mixed bar in association with a plug rod will permit articulation at 90° and up to 180° of both members.
Another aspect is that the circular housings with spline integrated in the mixed bars are included in the bars with an equidistant separation in relation to their respective external edges.
These separations permit the attached overlapping of said prismatic bars to form platforms. For this reason, the invention incorporates a cylindrical bushing divided by an annular arista over which, the two adjacent overlapped bars make a stop, while the two parts of the bushing which fit in the respective rod housings, consist of two ruling grooves to provide the bushing with certain elasticity to adjust with relative pressure in said housings.
These are also two bushings integrated by a rib or octagonal or circular arista separating two equal tubular parts with grooves, according to a ruling cut and, in the mouths, tangential salients extended over the edge of the latter forming anchoring ratchets hooking on the opposite external face of the housings where they are fitted.
Additionally, the invention contributes a gudgeon pinching part, also in fork, whose base is an anchoring claw which is mounted over the closed surfaces of the mixed bars in which, the separations between the edges of said faces and housings, serve as an anchoring for some lateral ratchets of said claw, whose ratchets in "C" are closed over the edges of the mentioned mixed bar.
A complementary pinching gudgeon part, according to the invention, having the mentioned fork shape, consists of a cylindrical plug pin consisting of two equal shoulder lugs, like pins, with the externally chamfered tips and with horizontal salients beneath these tips to be fitted in the central circular housing of the gudgeon member, where the chamfers aid assembly and the salients are ratchets for anchoring against the opposite edge of the mentioned housing.
According to the invention, the different auxiliary parts of the assembly to complete the formation of the different objects that may be constructed with this construction system, include the following:
A spherical oblate cap with the shape of a hat fitted as a finish of the oblate spherical head of a plug rod and consisting of a tubular neck cut in two symmetrical halves with respective means for internal interlocking.
A meshing which is a discoidal part with a toothed perimeter of cylindrical sections and an equicentral housing with spline of the mentioned type which may be fitted in a plug rod, like an axis, which may be immobilized with a special linch pin for this purpose.
A linch pin which is a flat shank with the same section as the spline, joined to a semicircular part equivalent to the half of the mentioned housing, provided with a crest over the external face to facilitate its assembly-disassembly.
A meshing, according to that mentioned, that has as a central body a complete ring of anchoring or pinching gudgeon forks with the mentioned central housing and spline.
A wheel for a tyre integrated by a central member which is a complete ring of mentioned pinching gudgeon forks, over which two symmetrical rings with a semi-conical profile are fixed and each one of which is provided with spherical head plug members which interlock in respective pinching forks, for example, in four pinching forks at 90°. Two rings, overlapped in the gudgeon ring form the channel for tyre installation.
A shock absorber consisting of a cylindrical-tubular sheath with a spherical plug head where a spring and a piston are housed consisting of a plug rod member completed by a gudgeon bushing where an internal tongue is housed and interlocked having two lateral ratchets guided and anchored in two longitudinal parallel grooves opposite the sheath, where the spring is housed.
A linking and articulation part between mixed bars, gudgeon-gudgeon having external spherical plug members and pinching gudgeon members in end fork. A part therefore having, a plug part of this type and a gudgeon part of this type and consisting of a supplement to complete the measurements, always proportional, of the system. A supplement which is installed between the gudgeon end of the fork and the plug member of the link part, being embedded in the neck of this plug part like a staple.
Another complementary part of the structure in which the mixed rectangular prismatic bars with circular integrated housings and plug ends are curved, with similar dimensions to the straight ones, may be supplemented by the link, connection or union parts referred to.
Another link part consisting of two plug members with a spherical head joined by a thin plate of the same format and size as the mixed prismatic parts.
A set of superficial, flat or curvo-parabolic parts having regular polygonal formats proportional to the measure given by the different parts of the structure and provided with anchoring plug means, such that said spherical or simple or ratchet heads with catching to fasten on the separations of the shoulders of the mixed parts.
The plug means of the spherical head are arranged in the flat superficial parts which, moreover, equicentrally, consist of the mentioned circular housing with spline. The ratchets are arranged over the edges of the superficial curvo-parabolic parts.
The flat parts are fitted on the structure to close the panels, walls or surfaces of the object which is desired to form or to form the housing, bottom, cockpit or body of the object in question.
The flat parts are mainly, quadrangular, octagonal or semi-octagonal parts cut by a diagonal or straight plane; others with a polygonal-octagonal shape and others, semi-octagonal; others quadrangular and, by multiplying or demultiplying the polygons to obtain shapes of different dimensions and other polygonal shapes, such as semicircular, circular or others.
The basic superficial arco-parabolic parts have shapes with a triangular, quadrangular, octagonal, rectangular or other developments in shape of a spherical sector at 90° and another complementary, increasing or decreasing the measurements of the latter.
The combination of the mentioned structural parts, permits respective polyhedric volumes to be constructed such that a regular straight hexahedron and a sphere, as well as other volumes equivalent to those given as examples in the illustrations of the patent, may be formed. As well as different passive or active structures with different articulated or mobile organs. Vehicles of two and four or more wheels. Aerodynamic vehicles, as well as articulated bodies, constructed with a combination of the mentioned parts. Likewise, with the latter, mechanized housings are constructed, by means of motorized complements, supplying energy or components of this type, to make the operation of these sets automatic.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

One of the main members of the system, the plug bar (1) (Figure 1-1C) is the cylindrical bar with spherical plug members at its ends (1A-1B) having oblations (1C-1D) on opposite sides and are joined to the rod body (1) by cylindrical necks (1E). Likewise, the cylindrical body of the rod has opposing straights facets (1F and 1G) located in the same plane as the oblations (1C-1D), that is, coplanar with the oblation (1C-1D). The trunking between neck (1E) and the body (1) are symmetrical slots (1H) with respect to the facets (1F-1G).
The rod (1) has intermediate spherical sections (1I), in sufficient number to fit in the extension of the rod (1) limited by transverse notches (1G).
Another basic member of the assembly is the ring (2) (Figures 1) of the gudgeon assembly. It consists of a central annular organ (2A) with concentric housing (2B) which axially provides a cap (11) for the free or fixed assembly of the rod (1).
The ring (2) consists of radial anchoring or pinching means (28) with the shape of a "U" fork, having a straight outer section (28A) and another cylindrical inner section (28B) which is of greater radius than the straight section (28A).
Inside the cylindrical section (28B) there are interlocking means. These are ribs (28D-28E) located on the ends of this section, in diagonally opposite eccentric positions, among which the spherical head (1A-1B) of the plug rods is interlocked (1) (Figures 1A-1C) with the possibility of rotating or articulating or detaching in any position.
Regularly, if the oblations (1C-1D) are made to match with the opening (28A) of the fork (28) and are forced by a slight deformation, due to the difference between the diameter of the spherical head (1A) and the cylindrical housing (28B) of the pinching (28), it is only a 1/4, but sufficient for it not to detach by accident.
The arrangement of the ribs (28D-28E) is especially beneficial for manufacturing the part, allowing the shake out to be regular and axially antagonic without deformation of the part and without exceptional mechanical solutions in the mold.
The entrance (28A) of the external fork (28) of less radius, obliges the spherical heads (1A-1B) to be introduced by their oblate faces (1C-1D); once inside the section (28B), the heads (1A-1B) may freely articulate like a joint. The slots (1H) limit the penetration of the rod (1) in the pinching fork (28), obliging the position of the slots (1H) to be sought to be able to articulate the rod (1) through the open areas of the fork (28) (Figures 1.4-1.4D).
Through the intermediate spherical sections (1I), the rods (1) are fitted in the caps (19) contained in the housings (2B) of the rings (2) with possibility of rotating, in one option, or being immobilized by the solution of figures (17-17B).
Other main parts are the mixed bars (3) and (4) (Figures 1.0 and 1.0G). They are prismatic bars with a hollow rectangular section. The mixed bar (3) is a bar with pinching gudgeon ends (28) and the mixed bar (4) is a gudgeon bar with plug ends (1A) for anchoring.
The mixed bar (3) has at both ends, pinching gudgeon members with "U" fork (28) with all its precise characteristics. And a single intermediate gudgeon organ which is a housing (2B) with a respective jibbing slot (2C).
This is a member designed to receive a rod (1) with an articulated set until 180° at each end. And a rod (1) in the intermediate housing with free or fixed pinching.
The mixed bar (4) has at both ends spherical plug members (4A-4B), without oblations, but joined by means of the mentioned neck (1E) . Also equidistant and intermediate, there are the mentioned housings (2B) with respective slots (2C) for jibbing, sufficient of the latter at the same distance and in a straight line as fit in the length of the bar (4).
Through the respective open faces (3A-3B) and (4C-4D) of the mixed rods (3-4) there are shoulders (3C-4E) for anchoring and fastening of different supplementary parts.
