Definitions

• the invention relates to a component, in particular for children's kits, which is intended for mutual connection. Namely, it relates to such a device, at the top of which are primary connection means for insertion connection, which have the shape of at least two attachments with perpendicular to this top walls, and in its opposite parallel side secondary connecting means are perpendicular to this opposite side walls, wherein the walls, which together form a push-in connection, are substantially planar.
• LEGO is the most well-known system in which primary fasteners on the top, which are formed as a grid of cylindrical pins, between secondary connecting means - also cylindrical pins - are inserted, which are integrated into the opposite side of the adjacent element.
• primary fasteners on the top which are formed as a grid of cylindrical pins, between secondary connecting means - also cylindrical pins - are inserted, which are integrated into the opposite side of the adjacent element.
• the components of various shapes which belong to the modular system according to DE 3900816, have a uniform square grid of grooves in the top and square grid forming projections on the opposite side, which are intended for insertion into the grooves of the adjacent element.
• a disadvantage of this system is that a multiplicity of different components is necessary for the formation of more complex objects, and that the system contributes only very limitedly to the development of combinatorial capabilities of the users.
• the invention has for its object to design a device as the basis of a new modular system that would contribute to the further development of children's creativity.
• the object is achieved by a component having at its top primary connection means for insertion connection, which have the shape of at least two attachments with perpendicular to this top walls, and in its opposite parallel side secondary connecting means are perpendicular to this opposite side walls , wherein the walls, which form a push-in connection with each other, are substantially planar.
• a component having at its top primary connection means for insertion connection, which have the shape of at least two attachments with perpendicular to this top walls, and in its opposite parallel side secondary connecting means are perpendicular to this opposite side walls , wherein the walls, which form a push-in connection with each other, are substantially planar.
• an angle between the adjacent walls of the attachment 3607n where n assumes a value of 6 or 8, wherein two of the headers are mutually rotated by half the angle.
• the header may take the form of a hexagonal or octagonal prism, but in an advantageous embodiment which ensures a sufficiently stable connection, it is articulated by n radial grooves, the secondary connecting means acting as an n-headed star-shaped projection integrated into the opposite side are performed.
• the pitch of the projections and projections is advantageously equal to twice the distance of the axis of the projection / attachment from a side wall of the element resting against the adjacent element.
• the device may be formed with two equal cylindrical opposite side walls and two planar side walls, which subtend an angle with the plane lying in the axes of the projections, the value of which is the integer multiple of the angle divided by two Include walls of the intent.
• n-sided polygonal cavities can be formed in the middle of the attachments.
• edges of the device may be chamfered, resulting in squaring on the walls of the objects.
