Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un module pour parcours de motricité pour jeunes enfants, ainsi qu'à un parcours de motricité obtenu en assemblant plusieurs modules selon l'invention.The present invention relates to a module for traction course for young children, as well as a motor skills course obtained by assembling several modules according to the invention.

Pour l'éveil des tout-petits, notamment âgés d'au moins 1 ans, on a recours à des jeux pour développer leur coordination motrice et leur faire prendre conscience de leur schéma corporel. A cet effet, on utilise des éléments de différentes formes, juxtaposés les uns à côtés des autres de manière à former un parcours sur lequel les tout-petits peuvent se déplacer en marchant ou en rampant. Avantageusement, ces éléments sont disposés sur des tapis souples pour amortir les éventuelles chutes des enfants.For the awakening of toddlers, especially those aged at least 1 years old, we use games to develop their motor coordination and make them aware of their body diagram. For this purpose, we use elements of different shapes, juxtaposed next to each other so as to form a path on which toddlers can move while walking or crawling. Advantageously, these elements are arranged on soft mats to cushion possible falls of children.

Les produits existants ne donnent pas pleinement satisfaction pour les raisons suivantes.Existing products are not fully satisfactory for the reasons following.

Les éléments formant le parcours sont simplement juxtaposés entre eux si bien qu'ils peuvent s'écarter, constituant une source de danger pour les enfants. Ce phénomène est accentué par les enfants qui ont tendance en s'amusant à les déplacer. En variante, les éléments formant le parcours peuvent être reliés entre eux par l'intermédiaire de pièces distinctes. Cette solution n'est pas satisfaisante car les pièces de liaison peuvent se perdre.The elements forming the course are simply juxtaposed with each other so well that they can deviate, constituting a source of danger for children. This phenomenon is accentuated by children who have a tendency to have fun move. Alternatively, the elements forming the path can be connected between them through separate pieces. This solution is not satisfactory because the connecting pieces can be lost.

D'autre part, les éléments existants ne sont pas très polyvalents et n'offrent qu'un nombre limité d'alternatives à moins de disposer d'un nombre pléthorique d'éléments encombrants et coûteux afin de varier les agencements et les possibilités de jeux pour l'enfant. Or, il est souhaitable de varier les parcours afin de développer les capacités d'adaptation de l'enfant aux différents environnements.On the other hand, the existing elements are not very versatile and do not offer a limited number of alternatives unless you have a plethoric number bulky and expensive elements in order to vary the arrangements and the play opportunities for the child. However, it is desirable to vary the routes in order to develop the child's ability to adapt to different environments.

En contrepartie, un grand nombre d'éléments de formes variées nécessite un espace de stockage relativement encombrant.In return, a large number of elements of various shapes require a relatively bulky storage space.

Enfin, le manque de polyvalence conduit nécessairement à une perte d'attrait au cours du temps.Finally, the lack of versatility necessarily leads to a loss of attractiveness course of time.

Aussi, la présente invention vise à pallier les inconvénients de l'art antérieur.Also, the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un module pour parcours de motricité pour enfants, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend quatre parois latérales et une surface supérieure délimitant une cavité, au moins deux ouvertures permettant de faire communiquer la cavité avec l'extérieur du module ou avec la cavité d'un autre module ainsi qu'une forme adaptée susceptible de coopérer avec la forme d'un autre module de manière à obtenir une liaison par emboítement entre deux modules juxtaposés.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a module for traction course for children, characterized in that it comprises four side walls and a surface upper part delimiting a cavity, at least two openings making it possible to communicate the cavity with the outside of the module or with the cavity of another module and an adapted form capable of cooperating with the shape of a another module so as to obtain a connection by interlocking between two juxtaposed modules.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description qui va suivre de l'invention, description donnée à titre d'exemple uniquement, en regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels:

  • la figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'un parcours de motricité obtenu en assemblant des modules selon l'invention,
  • les figures 2A à 2D sont des vues en perspective de variantes de modules selon l'invention,
  • les figures 3A et 3B sont des vues en perspective d'accessoires, et
  • la figure 4 est une vue de détail illustrant en détails les formes de deux modules assurant la liaison entre lesdits modules.
Other features and advantages will become apparent from the following description of the invention, a description given by way of example only, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of a traction path obtained by assembling modules according to the invention,
  • FIGS. 2A to 2D are perspective views of variants of modules according to the invention,
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B are perspective views of accessories, and
  • Figure 4 is a detail view illustrating in detail the shapes of two modules providing the connection between said modules.

Sur la figure 1, on a représenté à titre d'exemple un parcours de motricité pour jeunes enfants, constitué de modules 10 selon l'invention. De préférence, ce parcours est disposé sur un ou plusieurs tapis souple(s) pour amortir les éventuelles chutes des enfants. FIG. 1 shows, by way of example, a motor path for young children, consisting of modules 10 according to the invention. Preferably, this course is placed on one or more flexible mats to cushion the possible falls of children.

Selon l'invention, un module 10 se présente sous la forme d'un cube ou d'un parallélépipède, avec quatre parois latérales 12 et une surface supérieure 14 délimitant une cavité 16, au moins deux parois latérales comprenant chacune une ouverture 18 permettant de faire communiquer la cavité avec l'extérieur du module ou avec la cavité d'un autre module et une forme adaptée susceptible de coopérer avec la forme d'un autre module de manière à obtenir une liaison par emboítement entre deux modules juxtaposés.According to the invention, a module 10 is in the form of a cube or a parallelepiped, with four sidewalls 12 and an upper surface 14 delimiting a cavity 16, at least two side walls each comprising a opening 18 for communicating the cavity with the outside of the module or with the cavity of another module and an adapted shape capable of cooperate with the shape of another module so as to obtain a connection by nesting between two juxtaposed modules.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, les ouvertures 18 ont une forme en U renversé, les modules n'ayant pas de fond, les extrémités inférieures des parois latérales reposant directement au sol.According to one characteristic of the invention, the openings 18 have a U-shape overturned, the modules having no bottom, the lower ends of the walls lateral resting directly on the ground.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le module comprend au moins une forme en saillie 20, ou en creux 22, susceptible de coopérer respectivement avec une forme en creux 22, ou en saillie 20, d'un autre module, les formes en saillie 20 et en creux 22 ayant des profils conjugués de manière à empêcher l'écartement de deux modules assemblés.According to another characteristic of the invention, the module comprises at least one protruding form 20, or recessed 22, capable of cooperating respectively with a hollow form 22, or projecting 20, of another module, the protruding forms 20 and recessed 22 having conjugate profiles so as to prevent the spacing of two assembled modules.

Avantageusement, les formes en saillie 20 et en creux 22 ont des formes telles qu'elles autorisent une liaison entre deux modules par emboítement lorsque les modules à assembler sont disposés face contre face et que la forme en creux 22 d'un second module vient coiffer la forme en saillie 20 d'un premier module, comme illustré sur la figure 4.Advantageously, the protruding and recessed shapes 22 have shapes such that they allow a connection between two modules by interlocking when the modules to be assembled are arranged face to face and that the hollow form 22 of a second module is to cap the projecting shape 20 of a first module, as shown in Figure 4.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la forme en saillie 20 et/ou en creux 22 est prévue au niveau du bord d'une ouverture 18.According to another characteristic of the invention, the protruding form 20 and / or hollow 22 is provided at the edge of an opening 18.

Selon un mode de réalisation illustré par la figure 4, la forme en saillie 20 comprend, selon une direction transversale, de l'intérieur du module vers l'extérieur, une gorge 24 et un bourrelet 26, s'étendant avantageusement sur toute la longueur du bord d'une ouverture 18 ou formant une forme en U renversé. En complément, la forme en creux 22 comprend, selon une direction transversale, de l'intérieur du module vers l'extérieur, une gorge 28 susceptible de recevoir le bourrelet 26 d'une forme en saillie d'un autre module et un bourrelet 30 susceptible de se loger dans la gorge 24 de ladite forme en saillie. Comme pour la forme en saillie 20, la gorge et le bourrelet de la forme en creux 22 s'étendent avantageusement sur toute la longueur du bord d'une ouverture 18 ou forment une forme en U renversé.According to an embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, the projecting shape 20 comprises, in a transverse direction, from the inside of the module towards outside, a groove 24 and a bead 26, advantageously extending over the entire length of the edge of an opening 18 or forming a U-shape reversed. In addition, the hollow form 22 comprises, in one direction transversely, from the inside of the module to the outside, a groove 28 capable of to receive the bead 26 of a projecting shape of another module and a bead 30 capable of being housed in the groove 24 of said projecting form. As for the projecting form 20, the groove and the bead of the hollow form 22 extend advantageously over the entire length of the edge of an opening 18 or form an inverted U shape.

Ces formes permettent d'obtenir une liaison solide entre les modules limitant les risques d'écartement entre lesdits modules. Par ailleurs, elles permettent également de faciliter le moulage desdits modules, ces derniers étant réalisés de préférence en matière plastique.These forms make it possible to obtain a solid connection between the modules limiting the risks of spacing between said modules. Moreover, they allow also facilitate the molding of said modules, the latter being made of preferably made of plastic.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le module comprend une forme en saillie 20 ou une forme en creux 22 au niveau des ouvertures 18. De préférence, chaque module comprend deux formes en saillie 20 et deux formes en creux 22 disposées sur chacune des parois latérales 12. Cette caractéristique renforce la polyvalence des modules et augmente sensiblement le nombre d'agencements possibles. Selon les cas, les formes en saillie ou en creux peuvent ne pas comprendre systématiquement une ouverture comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2A à 2D. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les formes en saillie 20 sont disposées sur deux parois adjacentes d'un module.According to another characteristic of the invention, the module comprises a form in protrusion 20 or a hollow form 22 at the openings 18. Preferably, each module comprises two projecting shapes 20 and two recessed shapes 22 disposed on each of the sidewalls 12. This feature strengthens the versatility of modules and significantly increases the number of layouts possible. Depending on the case, the protruding or recessed shapes may not systematically understand an opening as we can see on the Figures 2A to 2D. According to a preferred embodiment, the projecting shapes 20 are arranged on two adjacent walls of a module.

Ainsi, en assemblant plusieurs modules selon l'invention, on obtient un parcours tel qu'illustré sur la figure 1, qui comprend une première surface constituée par la surface supérieure des modules ainsi qu'un réseau de galeries constitué des cavités 16 des modules reliées par les ouvertures 18.Thus, by assembling several modules according to the invention, a route is obtained. as illustrated in Figure 1, which includes a first surface formed by the upper surface of the modules as well as a network of galleries consisting of cavities 16 of the modules connected by the openings 18.

Comme illustré sur les figures 2A à 2D, un premier type de modules comprend deux ouvertures 18 disposées sur des parois latérales opposées, un deuxième type de modules comprend trois ouvertures 18, un troisième type de modules comprend deux ouvertures 18 disposées sur des parois latérales adjacentes. Ainsi, à partir d'un nombre restreint de types de modules, notamment quatre tels qu'illustrés sur les figures 2A à 2D, un grand nombre de combinaisons sont possibles, permettant d'obtenir des parcours variés.As illustrated in FIGS. 2A to 2D, a first type of module comprises two openings 18 arranged on opposite side walls, a second type of modules comprises three openings 18, a third type of modules comprises two openings 18 disposed on adjacent sidewalls. Thus, from a limited number of module types, including four as illustrated in FIGS. 2A to 2D, a large number of combinations are possible, to obtain varied courses.

Selon une autre caractéristique, au moins un orifice 32 est prévu, de préférence au niveau de la surface supérieure 14 de chaque module, susceptible de constituer une source de lumière pour éclairer l'intérieur du module. Cet orifice 32 permet également d'une part, aux enfants présents dans le réseau de galeries de voir à l'extérieur, ce qui renforce l'aspect ludique, et d'autre part, pour les adultes de surveiller les enfants présents à l'intérieur.According to another characteristic, at least one orifice 32 is provided, preferably at the level of the upper surface 14 of each module, capable of provide a source of light to illuminate the interior of the module. This orifice 32 also allows on the one hand, to the children present in the network of galleries to see outside, which reinforces the fun aspect, and secondly, for adults to monitor the children present indoors.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la surface supérieure 14 du module comprend une signalétique permettant de définir le nombre d'ouvertures et leurs dispositions. Avantageusement, la signalétique est obtenue grâce au nombre d'orifices 32 et à leurs dispositions. Ainsi, un premier orifice 32 est disposé sensiblement au centre de la surface supérieure 14, les autres orifices étant disposés entre l'orifice central et les ouvertures 18.According to another characteristic, the upper surface 14 of the module comprises a signage allowing to define the number of openings and their provisions. Advantageously, the signage is obtained thanks to the number 32 and their provisions. Thus, a first orifice 32 is arranged substantially in the center of the upper surface 14, the other orifices being arranged between the central orifice and the openings 18.

Ainsi, comme illustré sur la figure 2A, lorsque le module comprend deux ouvertures 18 disposées sur des parois latérales opposées, il comprend trois orifices 32 alignés selon la direction des ouvertures 18.Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 2A, when the module comprises two openings 18 disposed on opposite side walls, it comprises three orifices 32 aligned in the direction of the openings 18.

Comme illustré par la figure 2B, lorsque le module comprend trois ouvertures 18, il comprend quatre orifices 32 formant un T dont les branches et le pied indiquent la position des ouvertures 18.As illustrated by FIG. 2B, when the module comprises three openings 18, it comprises four orifices 32 forming a T whose branches and foot indicate the position of the openings 18.

Enfin, comme illustré pas les figures 2C et 2D, lorsque le module comprend deux ouvertures disposées sur des parois latérales adjacentes, il comprend trois orifices 32 formant un L dont les branches indiquent la position des ouvertures 18.Finally, as illustrated in FIGS. 2C and 2D, when the module comprises two openings arranged on adjacent side walls, it includes three orifices 32 forming an L whose branches indicate the position of the openings 18.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les orifices 32 comprennent une paroi 34 transparente de manière à former un hublot pour que lesdits orifices ne constituent pas une source de danger lorsqu'un enfant déambule sur la surface supérieure 14 des modules. According to another characteristic of the invention, the orifices 32 comprise a wall 34 transparent so as to form a porthole so that said orifices do not do not constitute a source of danger when a child walks on the surface higher 14 modules.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le parcours peut comprendre des modules particuliers, illustrés sur les figures 3A et 3B, comprenant soit des marches de manière à former un escalier 36, ou soit un plan incliné de manière à former un toboggan 38. Comme précédemment, le module formant escalier ou toboggan comprend au niveau d'au moins une paroi latérale une forme adaptée permettant d'assembler ledit module à un autre module par emboítement.According to another characteristic of the invention, the path may comprise particular modules, illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B, comprising either steps so as to form a staircase 36, or an inclined plane so as to forming a toboggan 38. As before, the stair module or toboggan comprises at least one side wall a suitable shape for assembling said module to another module by interlocking.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est évidemment pas limitée au mode de réalisation représenté et décrit ci-dessus, mais en couvre au contraire toutes les variantes, notamment en ce qui concerne les dimensions et matériaux des différents modules.Of course, the invention is obviously not limited to the embodiment shown and described above, but covers all variants, particular with regard to the dimensions and materials of the different modules.
