Definitions

  • This invention falls within the field of toys and refers to a set of constructional elements for a puzzle game.
  • the constructional set for children known from the disclosed International invention applications Nos. WO 96/09869 and WO 96/09870 wherein the basic element of a set is formed by a square enabling to match the elements along a straight line or under an angle of 90°.
  • the connection of elements is solved here by means of coupling projections being in contact only on the internal surface of an additional connecting cylinder, which is attached to an external flange by stiffening ribs, situated off the peaks of a prism.
  • An another known solution, wherein an octagon has already been used in the construction, is that according to the NL Patent No. 1439343.
  • the basic constructional element of a toy consists of at least two cup-like parts having two levels, fixedly interconnected by at least one connecting part.
  • a set of constructional elements comprising at least two basic elements having each an upper side which is provided with a number of coupling projections, arranged in uniform patterns with a fix modular distance of one to another and having a lower side which is provided with a connecting element in the form of a cylindrical wall with stiffening ribs and having further lateral flanged walls; the subject-matter of which consists in that all the lateral flanged walls of the basic element are made in the shape of an equilateral octagon.
  • every basic element has at least four coupling projections each, placed on connecting lines of opposed octagon peaks, out of which two central projections are situated on a smaller circle and two circumferential projections are situated on a greater circle.
  • the interconnection with other constructional elements derived from the configuration of the basic elements is ensured by contacts of the coupling projections with the cylindrical walls and respectively or with the flanged walls and respectively or with the stiffening ribs.
  • the stiffening ribs are advantageously formed in the octagon peaks points and have got slots in their lower part to place and contact the coupling projections of other constructional elements.
  • the slot depth size is greater than the central projections height size.
  • One of the derived elements is a two-cylinder vertical element, consisting of a basic element to which is as if built-in an additional basic element under an angle of principal axes equal to 90° at an imaginary contact point, and wherein the back part of the built-in element is completed by an another, as if a flange cutoff in the form of a basic element.
  • a modular pattern is made out of a set of two complete central projections kits and of a set of a part of circumferential projections kits on the upper side of such a vertical element.
  • An another of the derived elements is a two-cylinder oblique element consisting also of a basic element to which is as if built-in an another basic element under an angle equal to 135° and its back part is completed by as if a cutoff of the next basic element.
  • a modular pattern is made out of a set of two complete kits of the central projections and of a set of a part of circumferential projections kits on the upper side of such an oblique element.
  • a still another of the derived elements is a two-cylinder straight element, consisting of as if two coaxially, successively arranged basic elements with a flange having flush lateral walls.
  • the modular patterns are made out of as if two identical basic elements on the upper side of such a straight element.
  • a still another of the derived elements is also a three-cylinder element consisting of a basic element to which are as if from both sides built-in two additional basic elements under an angle of their principal axes equal to 135° at an imaginary contact point.
  • a modular pattern is made out of a set of three complete central projections kits and of a set of a part of circumferential projections kits on the upper side of such a three-cylinder element.
  • derived elements are a half-size element and a quarter-size element consisting of as if a half-size and a quarter-size cutoffs of a basic element.
  • a modular pattern is formed on the upper side of such elements consisting of a corresponding amount of the central and circumferential projections.
  • a basic element 1 of the constructional set shown in the Fig. 1 is composed of lateral flanged watts 11 in the shape of an equilateral octagon with a plane upper wall.
  • Two groups of coupling projections are formed on the upper side of the plane wall of the basic element 1 .
  • the first group consists of eight central projections 12 situated on a smaller circle m and the second group consists of eight circumferential projections 13, situated at the peaks of an octagon on a greater circle n.
  • the bottom part of the basic element 1 of the constructional set is completed by a cylindrical connecting wall 14, engaging concurrently with flanged walls 11 into an octagon being interconnected with the same by means of stiffening ribs 15 in the area of its peaks.
  • These stiffening ribs 15 have the slots 16 formed in their lower part to place the coupling projections of an another constructional element.
  • the depth a of the slot 16 is approximately double the size of the height b of the central projection 12 .
  • An another element of the constructional set is a derived two-cylinder straight element 4 shown in the Fig. 5, which is formed as if by the connection of two successively arranged basic elements 1 with a direct flushing of two lateral flanged walls 11.
  • the third element of the constructional set is a derived half-size element 6 shown in the Fig. 2b, which is formed by as if a dissection of the basic element 1 in the direction of a principal axis whereby the section point is completed by an interconnecting external flange.
  • the last element of this example is a derived quarter-size element 7 shown in Fig. 2a, which is formed by as if a quarter-size cutoff of the basic element 1 and completed by a broken interconnecting external flange.
  • the described elements form a simple set of the constructional elements.
  • the very simple pattern as for example a cross can be created from these as follows.
  • Two basic elements 1 are put side by side in the form of a cross on a plane base (not shown), one two-cylinder straight element 4 is inserted crosswise in between them and two half-size elements 6 are put to its both ends, forming the first level of a pattern.
  • the second level of a pattern is gradually formed by taking an another two-cylinder straight element 4 and placing it crosswise into the centre of a pattern, taking care for that both internal cylindrical surfaces 141 thereof slide in between the central projections 12 of the three elements 1 , 4 , 1 of the first level spanning them by means of a principal contact.
  • connection by means of a secondary contact is done by sliding further central projections 12 and circumferential projections 13 of the three elements 1 , 4 , 1 of the first level over the internal surfaces 112 and external surfaces 111 of the flanged walls 11 and also over the contact surfaces 151 of stiffening ribs 15 of the straight element 4.
  • a patern is gradually completed along the edges by placing other two basic elements 1 and two half-size elements 6 so that the whole second level is filled in the pattern configuration.
  • the basic element 1 in this example can also be replaced by one half-size element 6 and two quarter-size elements 7 , or the half-size element 6 can be replaced by two quarter-size elements 7 .
  • This example describes a set of constructional elements composed of different types of elements except the basic element 1 formed in accordance with the description of the Example 1.
  • An another element of this set is a derived two-cylinder vertical element 2 shown in Fig. 3, formed as if by a vertical connection of two basic elements 1 and an additional forming of the external flanged walls 11 by a cutoff of the third basic element 1 .
  • An another element of this set is a derived two-cylinder oblique element 3 shown in Fig. 4 which is formed by as if a crosswise connection of two basic elements 1 and an additional forming of external flanged walls 11 by a cutoff of the third basic element 1 .
  • the last element in this example is a derived three-cylinder element 5 shown in the Fig. 6, which is formed of as if a connection of three basic elements 1 under the defined angles.
  • the described four elements form a more complicated set of the constructional elements enabling to create also more complicated patterns having more rounded shapes.
  • Such a more complicated pattern (see Fig. 8) will be formed from these as follows.
  • the basic elements 1 are put on a plane base in the form of a pattern thus forming the first level.
  • the second level is formed similarly as in the example 1, with the difference that instead of the elements 4 , 1 , 6, vertical elements 2 , oblique elements 3 and three-cylinder elements 5 are gradually placed in this second level.
