Definitions
- the present invention relates to a connection means for construction elements according to
- the preamble of claim 1 Furthermore, it relates to a block set with such a connecting means.
- Block systems are known, for. B. toy building blocks systems, for children, their stones can be connected by plying or simple screw together. Such a system is described in Applicant's WO-A-2004/87277. In order to provide playful incentive and manageable, it is desirable to provide only a relatively small number of different elements and to make the blocks relatively large, especially for smaller children.
- this also has a connection mechanism in which elements that are substantially complementary to one another are inserted into one another in the direction of construction.
- elements that are substantially complementary to one another are inserted into one another in the direction of construction.
- here slide the elements easily into each other. Stabilization and fixation can be achieved by screwing through the elements of the mechanism.
- problems are constructions in which not only built in one direction, z. B. upward, but should be further developed in a second direction, z. B. laterally, or even the direction of construction is reversed.
- An example could be a laterally projecting arm as for a crane to which a down-hanging object is attached is.
- Small-scale systems regularly allow at most one reversal, but wear and thus reduced clamping effect will very soon give rise to stability problems. Due to the cohesion solely by the clamping action, the stability is already fundamentally limited.
- connection elements for lateral or reverse connections in the block system.
- this increases the number of block types, and the block system is the user unclear and thus uninteresting.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a provision for building with building blocks, which in at least one main direction
- a connecting means which realizes such a provision, is specified in claim 1.
- the further claims indicate preferred embodiments and modular systems with such a connecting means.
- the invention is to provide a connection means which allows a combination of slide-in connection and a second, releasable connection mechanism.
- a connection mechanism is z. B. in the aforementioned block system of the applicant already provided in the form of a screw.
- the screw connection as a prototype of an actuatable connection mechanism is in the known game building block system only as a connection in a first direction, z. B. upward.
- Slide-in connections are only for decorative slide-in plates provided, including the game modules in their side walls slots or grooves. According to the invention, the slots in the side walls are modified such that they preferably have an extension at the bottom.
- the inventive connecting means has a corresponding strip-shaped part, which also, preferably at its front end and the front edge, corresponding thickening. It can thus be inserted in a modified groove in the longitudinal direction, but not pulled out transversely.
- a corresponding strip-shaped part which also, preferably at its front end and the front edge, corresponding thickening. It can thus be inserted in a modified groove in the longitudinal direction, but not pulled out transversely.
- connection mechanism of the toy building block system z. B. the mother of a Versehraubung. This makes it possible in a simple way to provide a side wall of a block with a component of a connection mechanism (nut of a screw) and thus to allow a continuation across the original main building direction.
- Connecting mechanism is the one with which the blocks in the main building direction (or in the construction directions) are connected to each other.
- it is a plug-in connection, which in addition with another form-locking attachment, z.
- screw, snap, bayonet or Renkver gleich can be combined to ensure a secure cohesion.
- the modular system is thus extended essentially only by this further part, the connecting means, whereby the complexity of the overall system is kept low and it retains its appeal especially for younger children or by the extension of the
- FIG. 1 view of a block with laterally attached second module
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of the arrangement according to FIG. 1 with a partial section through laterally attached component, according to I-I;
- Fig. 3 is a top view of an inventive connecting means
- FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the connecting means according to FIG. 3; FIG. and
- the first module has a cuboid body 5. In the main building direction is located on a side surface 7 of the characteristic nubs 8 for attaching other blocks. This side surface 7 is referred to as "top”. On the opposite, lower side (not shown) of the block body 5 is a recess which - o -
- the module 2 has a substantially cylindrical body 10.
- grooves 16 In the side surfaces of the body 5, of which the front 12 and left 14 are visible, there are grooves 16.
- the grooves 16 have from the opening initially a passage of constant width 18, to which the bottom of the groove is a substantially cylindrical Extension 19 connects (see also Fig. 2).
- the connecting means 3 has a substantially complementary to the groove 16 formed, strip-shaped member 22 which can be inserted from above or below in a groove 16.
- the strip-shaped member 22 has correspondingly a strip-shaped neck 24, at the front edge of a substantially cylindrical thickening 25 is arranged (see Fig. 3, 5). Centered at the trailing edge of the web-shaped neck 24 is a nut 27 of the building block system, which is easily recognizable in shape with the nubs 8, but is provided with an internal thread 28 (see FIG. 4).
- the coupling part 3 is only dependent on the presence of the grooves.
- the module 2 with cylindrical body 10 also has circumferential grooves 16. It is therefore conceivable, in general, but also in particular on a cylindrical block body to provide the grooves in a different arrangement and number, z. B. at 45 ° intervals.
- a wedge-shaped incision is present at the front edge of the thickening 25 . It serves to give the thickening 25 a slight flexibility in order to facilitate insertion into a groove 16 in the case of a tight fit or to adjust the increase in the cladding effect between the strip-shaped member 22 and the groove 16 when the screw 30 is tightened.
- strip-shaped member 22 and groove 16 are designed so that they can be easily inserted into each other. Surprisingly advantageous has been found that when tightening the screw 30, a clamping effect between strip-shaped member 22 and groove 16 results. This effect is further supported by the fact that the web-shaped neck 24 is executed at most as long as the passage 18.
- the components of the building block system are made of plastic by injection molding.
- the components of the building block system are made of plastic by injection molding.
- Diameter block 2 building blocks; Diameter block 2.
- the shape of the strip-shaped member can be chosen differently, for. B. wedge-shaped wider. It is important for a connection that the strip-shaped part has a widening, which can form a positive connection with a correspondingly complementary groove, which prevents the withdrawal of the strip-shaped member transversely to the longitudinal axis of the groove.
- the thickening of the strip-shaped member is divided, z. B. as a series or a few thickened sections, z. B. similar embedded in the strip-shaped member balls.
- the thickening has a different circular cross-section, z. B. polygonal and / or deformed rounded (elliptical, oval).
- a releasable connection mechanism is a snap connection, z. B. with ball and pan.
