Definitions

  • the invention relates to a kit consisting of components with magnetic elements and ferromagnetic balls.
  • Modules of the type mentioned are intended in particular as children's toys, educational toys, for the production of decorative objects or for applications in technology, for example for the production of models in architecture.
  • a kit which comprises components in the form of plastic rods with two permanent magnets in the ends and ferromagnetic balls which can be placed between the end magnets of two components in order to releasably connect them to one another by magnetic adhesion. These components can be used to form two- and three-dimensional, network-like structures of various designs.
  • rod-shaped and spherical parts are relatively unstable. This is why relatively strong permanent magnets are used and a small pin made of iron or ferromagnetic material is used in each plastic rod to increase the magnetic adhesive forces.
  • kits of the type described above is the subject of WO 99/60583 AI.
  • DE 39 10 304 AI discloses a kit in which the components have ferromagnetic contact surfaces and the clutches are permanent magnets or contain them (claim 1).
  • the components can be in particular plates and the couplings in particular balls.
  • Claim 4 relates inter alia on contact surfaces of the components that are concave and matched to convex surfaces of the couplings (e.g. balls).
  • the structure of the balls is shown in FIG. 2 and described in column 4, line 60 to column 5, line 57.
  • These balls are very complex and very expensive to manufacture. When used, they have the disadvantage that the components can only be aligned at specific angles to the spherical couplings, because otherwise insufficient magnetic adhesion will not occur.
  • DE 33 23 489 AI discloses a game and instructional means based on spherical elements, in which the balls contain magnetic elements.
  • the balls serve to pinch and hold strip-shaped elements by the magnetic forces that are effective between balls of different positions. This is illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the strips are made of "Perspex" and have no ferromagnetic elements.
  • the object of the invention is to create a modular system which is not restricted to the creation of net-shaped structures and in which the structures are sufficiently stabilized without special measures for increasing the magnetic adhesive forces.
  • the object is achieved by a modular system with the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous configurations of the modular system are specified in the subclaims.
  • the kit according to the invention has flat and / or spatial components with magnetic elements in corners and / or sides and ferromagnetic balls which can be placed between components placed against one another in order to releasably connect the components to one another by magnetic adhesion.
  • the kit comprises flat and / or spatial components
  • the stability of the structures created with the help of these components and with ferromagnetic balls is considerably improved in comparison to the known kit with rod-shaped components and balls.
  • the construction of particularly large, stable structures is also favored.
  • the two-dimensional or spatial components have the advantage that they make it possible to put together more or less closed structures, which increases the appeal of play and enables many interesting applications.
  • the use of less strong magnetic forces prevents disruptive magnetic fields, which can attract small parts or adversely affect watches or other precision components.
  • the flat components essentially extend in a surface, but they can have a certain transverse extent to the surface.
  • the spatial components extend considerably into all Spatial directions.
  • the rod-shaped components from the prior art extend considerably only along one axis and have only a small extent in the transverse direction.
  • the magnetic elements are preferably oriented essentially at the bisector of corners of the corners of the two large parallel side faces of the sheet-like components.
  • the magnetic elements are preferably arranged at the corners parallel to the two large side faces, preferably approximately in the middle in between.
  • the magnetic elements are preferably aligned at the corners essentially to all bisectors that limit these spatial corners. For a cube, for example, this means that the magnetic elements are essentially aligned with diagonals that run from the center of the cube to its corners.
  • the flat components can be, for example, curved flat components.
  • the flat or spatial components can be designed in a variety of forms. They can be closed components or open components, for example frame-shaped components that run in a surface or delimit a three-dimensional shape.
  • the components are plate-shaped.
  • Many interesting and particularly stable structures can be realized with plate-shaped components.
  • the magnetic elements are preferably arranged in corners. In addition or instead of this, they can be arranged in the sides of the components, in particular in the narrow sides of the flat components.
  • the plate-shaped components can be components with any number of corners.
  • the plate-shaped components can also have curved sides.

  • polyhedral for example cube-shaped, cuboid, prism-shaped, pyramid-shaped, truncated pyramid-shaped
  • the kit comprises components that have a chamfer on their edges. This favors placing a large number of components at the edges.
  • the kit comprises components whose walls are made thinner between their edges than at the edges.
