Description

MATERIEL EDUCATIF A CONFIGURATIONS MULTIPLES. EDUCATIONAL EQUIPMENT WITH MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS.
L'invention concerne, de façon générale, la conception rationalisée des supports d'activités ludiques et / ou didactiques .The invention relates generally to the streamlined design of the supports for fun and / or didactic activities.
Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un matériel éducatif, comprenant une pluralité de supports d'informations de dimensions identiques, porteurs de données au moins partiellement différentes.More specifically, the invention relates to an educational material, comprising a plurality of information carriers of identical dimensions, carrying at least partially different data.
De nombreux jeux existants ou futurs répondent ou peuvent répondre à cette définition.Many existing or future games meet or may meet this definition.
Tel est notamment le cas du jeu de domino, qui comprend vingt-huit éléments rectangulaires à deux faces, l'une de ces faces portant deux cases dont chacune contient un nombre de points compris entre zéro et six.This is particularly the case of the domino game, which includes twenty-eight rectangular elements with two faces, one of these faces bearing two boxes each containing a number of points between zero and six.
Tel est également le cas du jeu de loto, qui comprend des plaques découpées en cases numérotées de façon aléatoire, et des jetons numérotés que les différents joueurs tirent tour à tour et dont chacun doit identifier le plus vite possible la correspondance avec une case numérotée de la plaque ou des plaques dont il dispose.This is also the case of the game of lotto, which includes plates cut into randomly numbered boxes, and numbered tokens that the different players draw in turn and each of which must identify as quickly as possible the correspondence with a numbered box of the plate or plates it has.
Tel est le cas également du jeu mémo, qui comprend des vignettes associées par paires identiques ou correspondantes . Comme des jeux différents requièrent typiquement des configurations spécifiques différentes et / ou des manipulations elles-mêmes différentes, le matériel associé à un jeu est généralement dédié à ce jeu et donc impropre à la pratique d'un autre jeu.This is also the case of the memo game, which includes thumbnails associated in identical or corresponding pairs. Since different games typically require different specific configurations and / or different manipulations themselves, the hardware associated with a game is generally dedicated to that game and thus unsuited to playing another game.
Il en résulte que la pratique de plusieurs jeux différents requiert a priori la disponibilité d'un nombre équivalent de matériels dont chacun est dédié à l'un de ces jeux.As a result, the practice of several different games a priori requires the availability of an equivalent number of materials each of which is dedicated to one of these games.
Il est connu de remédier au moins partiellement à cette situation en imprimant des données différentes sur les deux faces d'un même support, par exemple un échiquier sur une première face d'un plateau de jeu, et un damier sur l'autre face de ce plateau.It is known to at least partially remedy this situation by printing different data on both sides of the same medium, for example a chessboard on a first face of a game board, and a checkerboard on the other side of this plateau.
Dans ce contexte, l'invention a pour but de proposer une autre solution d'intégration, permettant l'utilisation d'un même matériel dans plusieurs configurations possibles et rendant ainsi ce matériel propre à la pratique de plusieurs jeux différents.In this context, the invention aims to propose an alternative integration solution, allowing the use of the same hardware in several possible configurations and thus making this material suitable for the practice of several different games.
A cette fin, le matériel de l'invention, par ailleurs conforme à la définition générique qu'en donne le préambule ci-dessus, est essentiellement caractérisé en ce que chaque support prend la forme d'une planche comprenant un cadre externe, au moins deux cadres internes, et au moins quatre vignettes portant au moins une partie desdites données, en ce que le cadre externe de chaque planche présente au moins deux fenêtres principales dans chacune desquelles est inséré, de façon amovible, l'un desdits cadres internes, en ce que chaque cadre interne de chaque planche présente au moins deux fenêtres auxiliaires dans chacune desquelles est insérée, de façon amovible, l'une desdites vignettes, en ce que les fenêtres principales, les cadres internes, les fenêtres auxiliaires et les vignettes de toutes les planches présentent des dimensions respectives identiques, les cadres internes étant ainsi interchangeables entre eux et les vignettes étant ainsi interchangeables entre elles, et en ce que chaque insert constitué par un cadre interne inséré dans une fenêtre principale ou une vignette insérée dans une fenêtre auxiliaire est lié à la fenêtre dans laquelle il est inséré par une force de frottement s ' exerçant entre le bord de cet insert et le bord de cette fenêtre.To this end, the material of the invention, moreover in conformity with the generic definition given in the preamble above, is essentially characterized in that each support takes the form of a board comprising an external frame, at least two internal frames, and at least four thumbnails bearing at least a portion of said data, in that the outer frame of each board has at least two main windows in each of which is inserted, so removable, one of said internal frames, in that each internal frame of each board has at least two auxiliary windows in each of which is inserted removably, one of said stickers, in that the main windows, the internal frames , the auxiliary windows and the thumbnails of all the boards have identical respective dimensions, the internal frames thus being interchangeable with each other and the vignettes thus being interchangeable with each other, and in that each insert constituted by an internal frame inserted into a main window or a thumbnail inserted in an auxiliary window is linked to the window in which it is inserted by a friction force exerted between the edge of this insert and the edge of this window.
De préférence, le cadre externe, les cadres internes, et les vignettes de chaque planche présentent une épaisseur identique, commune à toutes les planches.Preferably, the outer frame, the internal frames, and the thumbnails of each board have an identical thickness, common to all boards.
Le cadre externe, les cadres internes, et les vignettes de chaque planche peuvent par exemple présenter une épaisseur comprise entre 0.8 et 12 millimètres, et de préférence entre 1.5 et 5 millimètres.The outer frame, the internal frames, and the thumbnails of each board can for example have a thickness of between 0.8 and 12 millimeters, and preferably between 1.5 and 5 millimeters.
Il est en particulier envisageable de réaliser chaque planche par découpage d'un flan de carton, de bois ou de matière plastique, ce découpage étant de préférence réalisé à l'emporte-pièce ou éventuellement au laser ou au jet d'eau. Chaque planche présente par exemple trois fenêtres principales et trois cadres internes, chaque cadre interne pouvant présenter deux fenêtres auxiliaires et deux vignettes.In particular, it is conceivable to make each board by cutting a blank of cardboard, wood or plastic, this cutting being preferably made by punch or possibly laser or water jet. Each board has for example three main windows and three internal frames, each internal frame may have two auxiliary windows and two thumbnails.
Dans un mode de réalisation possible de l'invention, les fenêtres principales et les cadres internes de chaque planche sont rectangulaires, tandis que les fenêtres auxiliaires et les vignettes de chaque cadre interne sont carrées .In a possible embodiment of the invention, the main windows and the internal frames of each board are rectangular, while the auxiliary windows and the thumbnails of each internal frame are square.
De plus, le matériel de l'invention comprend de préférence au moins des premier et deuxième ensembles de vignettes, les vignettes d'un même ensemble portant toutes des données différentes, alors même que chaque vignette de chacun des premier et deuxième ensembles de vignettes peut porter des données identiques ou correspondantes à celles d'une vignette de l'autre de ces premier et deuxième ensembles de vignettes .In addition, the material of the invention preferably comprises at least first and second sets of thumbnails, the thumbnails of the same set all bearing different data, even though each thumbnail of each of the first and second sets of thumbnails can carry data identical or corresponding to that of a sticker of the other of these first and second sets of stickers.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront clairement de la description qui en est faite ci-après, à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge clearly from the description which is given hereinafter, by way of indication and in no way limitative, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue d'une première face que peut présenter une planche d'un matériel conforme à l' invention;- Figure 1 is a view of a first face that can present a board of a material according to the invention;

- la figure 4 illustre une deuxième configuration que peut prendre, ainsi qu'une manipulation que permet, un matériel conforme à l'invention et comprenant deux planches telles qu'illustrées à la figure 2.- Figure 4 illustrates a second configuration that can take, and a manipulation that allows a material according to the invention and comprising two boards as illustrated in Figure 2.
Comme annoncé précédemment, l'invention concerne un matériel éducatif qui comprend une pluralité de supports d'informations de dimensions identiques, ces différents supports étant porteurs de données qui diffèrent au moins partiellement d'un support à l'autre.As previously announced, the invention relates to an educational material which comprises a plurality of information carriers of identical dimensions, these different media carrying data that differ at least partially from one medium to another.
L'invention n'est nullement limitée à un contenu sémantique particulier, ni à aucune forme matérielle spécifique de ces données, qui constituent donc des paramètres extrinsèques à cette invention.The invention is in no way limited to a particular semantic content, nor to any specific material form of these data, which therefore constitute extrinsic parameters to this invention.
En particulier, ces données peuvent aussi bien être de nature picturale, alphabétique ou numérique, et elles peuvent aussi bien être apposées sur ces supports par impression, par embossage ou par toute autre technique.In particular, these data may be of a pictorial, alphabetical or digital nature, and they may as well be affixed to these supports by printing, by embossing or by any other technique.
Selon l'invention, chaque support prend la forme d'une planche 1 qui, en configuration complète, comprend un cadre externe 2, deux cadres internes 3 ou plus, et au moins quatre vignettes 4, les données offertes par cette planche étant de préférence exclusivement portées par les vignettes 4.According to the invention, each support takes the form of a plate 1 which, in complete configuration, comprises an outer frame 2, two internal frames 3 or more, and at least four thumbnails 4, the data offered by this board being preferably exclusively worn by the vignettes 4.
Le cadre externe 2 de chaque planche 1 présente au moins deux fenêtres principales 20 de forme préférablement allongée, le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures présentant trois fenêtres principales de forme rectangulaire .The outer frame 2 of each board 1 has at least two main windows 20 of preferably elongated form, the embodiment illustrated in the figures having three main windows of rectangular shape.
Chaque fenêtre principale 20 reçoit un cadre interne 3, de forme complémentaire à celle de cette fenêtre, et qui y est inséré de façon amovible.Each main window 20 receives an internal frame 3, of complementary shape to that of this window, and which is inserted removably.
Par ailleurs, chaque cadre interne 3 de chaque planche 1 présente au moins deux fenêtres auxiliaires 30 de forme triangulaire, carrée ou présentant un degré de symétrie encore plus élevé.Furthermore, each inner frame 3 of each board 1 has at least two auxiliary windows 30 of triangular shape, square or having an even higher degree of symmetry.
Bien que le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures ne comporte que deux fenêtres auxiliaires de forme carrée, ces fenêtres 30 pourraient donc aussi bien être plus nombreuses et / ou de forme par exemple circulaire.Although the embodiment illustrated in the figures has only two auxiliary windows of square shape, these windows 30 could therefore be more numerous and / or shaped, for example circular.
En configuration complète de la planche, une vignette 4 de forme complémentaire à celle d'une fenêtre auxiliaireIn complete configuration of the board, a sticker 4 of complementary shape to that of an auxiliary window
30 est insérée, de façon amovible, dans chacune de ces fenêtres auxiliaires 30.30 is inserted, removably, into each of these auxiliary windows 30.
Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, les fenêtres principales 20, les cadres internes 3, les fenêtres auxiliaires 30, et les vignettes 4 de toutes les planches 1 présentent des dimensions respectives identiques .According to an important characteristic of the invention, the main windows 20, the internal frames 3, the auxiliary windows 30, and the stickers 4 of all the boards 1 have respective respective dimensions.
Grâce à cette caractéristique, les cadres internes 3 d'une même planche ou de différentes planches sont interchangeables entre eux, de même que les vignettes 4 d'une même planche ou de différentes planches sont interchangeables entre elles.With this feature, the internal frames 3 of the same board or different boards are interchangeable with each other, as thumbnails 4 of the same board or different boards are interchangeable between them.
Par ailleurs, chaque cadre interne 3 inséré dans une fenêtre principale 20 est lié à la fenêtre dans laquelle il est inséré par une force de frottement qui s'exerce entre le bord périphérique de ce cadre interne et le bord de cette fenêtre principale.Moreover, each internal frame 3 inserted in a main window 20 is connected to the window in which it is inserted by a friction force which is exerted between the peripheral edge of this inner frame and the edge of this main window.
De même, chaque vignette 4 insérée dans une fenêtre auxiliaire 30 est liée à la fenêtre dans laquelle elle est insérée par une force de frottement qui s ' exerce entre le bord périphérique de cette vignette et le bord de cette fenêtre auxiliaire.Similarly, each sticker 4 inserted in an auxiliary window 30 is linked to the window in which it is inserted by a friction force which is exerted between the peripheral edge of this sticker and the edge of this auxiliary window.
Pour ce faire, chaque planche 1 est de préférence réalisée par découpage à l'emporte-pièce d'un flan de carton relativement souple, la découpe s ' opérant ainsi sans perte de matière ni réduction sensible des dimensions des pièces subissant la découpe. Il est néanmoins possible de réaliser les planches en bois ou en matière plastique, et de les découper par laser ou jet d' eau.To do this, each board 1 is preferably made by punching a relatively flexible cardboard blank, the cut thus operating without loss of material or significant reduction in the dimensions of the parts undergoing cutting. However, it is possible to make wooden boards or plastic, and cut by laser or water jet.
En toute hypothèse, il peut être judicieux de faire en sorte que le cadre externe 2, les cadres internes 3, et les vignettes 4 de chaque planche 1 présentent une épaisseur identique, commune à toutes les planches et par exemple comprise entre 0.8 et 12 millimètres, de préférence entre 1.5 et 5 millimètres et plus avantageusement encore entre 1.5 et 2.5 millimètres.In any event, it may be wise to make external framework 2, internal frameworks 3, and the stickers 4 of each plate 1 have an identical thickness, common to all boards and for example between 0.8 and 12 millimeters, preferably between 1.5 and 5 millimeters and more preferably between 1.5 and 2.5 millimeters.
De préférence, le matériel de l'invention comprend au moins deux ensembles de vignettes 4 tels que les vignettes d'un même ensemble portent toutes des données différentes, alors que chaque vignette de chacun de ces ensembles porte des données identiques ou correspondante à celle d'une vignette de l'autre ensemble, la correspondance étant établie par toute caractéristique physique ou toute relation sémantique appropriée.Preferably, the material of the invention comprises at least two sets of thumbnails 4 such that the thumbnails of the same set all carry different data, whereas each thumbnail of each of these sets carries data identical or corresponding to that of a thumbnail of the other set, the correspondence being established by any physical characteristic or any appropriate semantic relationship.
En d'autres termes, chaque vignette de chacun de ces ensembles est discernable de chaque autre vignette de ce même ensemble, et identique ou susceptible d'être associée à une et une seule vignette de l'autre ensemble, quelles que soient la nature et / ou la forme des données portées par les différentes vignettes.In other words, each vignette of each of these sets is distinguishable from each other vignette of the same set, and identical or likely to be associated with one and only one vignette of the other set, whatever the nature and / or the shape of the data carried by the different thumbnails.
La figure 3 illustre une configuration susceptible d'être adoptée par un matériel conforme, à l'invention et comprenant deux planches telles qu'illustrées à la figure 2, cette configuration permettant en l'occurrence de réaliser des associations spatiales de cadres internes, fondées sur le caractère indiscernable des vignettes adjacentes portées par ces cadres 3, à la manière d'un jeu de domino. La figure 4 illustre une autre configuration susceptible d'être adoptée par un matériel conforme à l'invention et comprenant deux planches telles qu'illustrées à la figure 2.FIG. 3 illustrates a configuration that can be adopted by a hardware compliant with the invention and comprising two boards as illustrated in FIG. 2, this configuration making it possible in this case to create spatial associations of internal frames, based on on the indistinguishable character of the adjacent vignettes carried by these frames 3, in the manner of a domino game. FIG. 4 illustrates another configuration that can be adopted by a material according to the invention and comprising two boards as illustrated in FIG.
Dans cette configuration, des vignettes libres de tout cadre peuvent être déplacées individuellement pour venir recouvrir chacune une vignette identique ou associée, appartenant à l'ensemble des vignettes portées par une planche 1 complète.In this configuration, free thumbnails of any frame can be moved individually to each cover an identical or associated vignette, belonging to all the thumbnails carried by a complete plate 1.
Comme le comprendra l ' homme du métier à la lecture de la présente description, chacune des vignettes 4 peut porter des données sur chacune de ces deux faces, cette -possibilité augmentant encore le nombre de configurations offertes par le matériel de l'invention. As will be understood by those skilled in the art upon reading the present description, each of the thumbnails 4 may carry data on each of these two faces, this possibility further increasing the number of configurations offered by the material of the invention.
