Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, ist ein Basisteil 10 stabförmig ausgebildet und weist stirnseitig angeordnete Sacklöcher 12 auf. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist das Basisteil 10 zylinderförmig ausgebildet. In modifizierten Ausführungsformen ist das Basisteil 10 tonnenförmig und/oder hat eine im Querschnitt quadratische, rechteckige, ovale oder vieleckige Form, wie z.B. eine Sechskantform. Weiterhin kann das Basisteil 10 in Längsrichtung Abstufungen in Form von Bünden oder Nuten aufweisen und/oder konisch verlaufen oder mit einer Krümmung versehene Bereiche aufweisen.As in Fig. 1 is shown, a base part 10 is rod-shaped and has frontally arranged blind holes 12. In the embodiment shown, the base part 10 cylindrically shaped. In modified embodiments, the base part 10 is barrel-shaped and / or has a square, rectangular, oval or polygonal shape, such as a hexagonal shape. Furthermore, the base part 10 may have gradations in the form of collars or grooves in the longitudinal direction and / or be conical or have regions provided with a curvature.

In einer weiteren Modifikation weist das Basisteil 10 statt der Sacklöcher 12 ein durchgehendes Loch (nicht gezeigt) auf.In a further modification, the base part 10 instead of the blind holes 12 has a through hole (not shown).

In der bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht das Basisteil 10 aus einem magnetisch anziehbaren Material, insbesondere einem ferromagnetischen Material.In the preferred embodiment, the base part 10 consists of a magnetically attractable material, in particular a ferromagnetic material.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform besteht das Basisteil 10 aus einem nichtmagnetischem Material und ist mit einem magnetisch anziehbaren Material, insbesondere einem ferromagnetischen Material überzogen.In another embodiment, the base part 10 is made of a non-magnetic material and is coated with a magnetically attractable material, in particular a ferromagnetic material.

Ein in Fig. 2 dargestelltes Kopplungsteil 20 weist einen mittleren Bereich 22 auf, der biegsam und/oder dehnbar ausgebildet ist und weist an beiden Stirnseiten jeweils einen Zapfen 24 auf, der zum Eingriff mit dem Sackloch 12 vorgesehen ist und so dimensioniert ist, daß der Zapfen 24 und das Sackloch 12 durch einen gewissen für Steckverbindungen im Bausatzbereich üblichen Kraftaufwand steckbar bzw. lösbar ist.An in Fig. 2 illustrated coupling member 20 has a central portion 22 which is flexible and / or stretchable and has at both end faces in each case a pin 24 which is provided for engagement with the blind hole 12 and dimensioned so that the pin 24 and the blind hole 12 plugged or solvable by a certain force required for connectors in the kit area force.

In einer modifizierten Ausführungsform weist der Zapfen 24 einen Längsschlitz 24a auf, wie in Fig. 2 durch eine gestrichelte Linie dargestellt, um eine Federwirkung in Radialrichtung entfalten zu können. In dieser modifizierten Ausführungsform ist der Zapfen 24 so gestaltet, daß er eine zu der Stirnseite hin sich erweiternde Form hat (in Fig. 2 nicht dargestellt). In einer Abwandlung dieser Ausführungsform sind mehrere Längsschlitze 24a vorgesehen, um den Zapfen 24 in mehr als zwei Abschnitte zu unterteilen.In a modified embodiment, the pin 24 has a longitudinal slot 24a, as in FIG Fig. 2 represented by a dashed line in order to develop a spring action in the radial direction. In this modified embodiment, the pin 24 is designed so that it has a widening towards the end face shape (in Fig. 2 not shown). In a variation of this embodiment, a plurality of longitudinal slots 24a are provided to divide the pin 24 into more than two sections.

Der mittlere Bereich 22 des Kopplungsteils 20 ist ziehharmonikförmig bzw. faltenbalgförmig ausgebildet und besteht in der bevorzugten Ausführungsform aus einem solchen Material, daß es radial zur Längsachse biegsam ist, wie in Fig. 11 dargestellt ist und entlang der Längsachse dehnbar ist, wie es in Fig. 10 dargestellt ist.The central region 22 of the coupling part 20 is accordion-shaped or bellows-shaped and, in the preferred embodiment, is made of such a material that it is flexible radially to the longitudinal axis, as in FIG Fig. 11 is shown and is extensible along the longitudinal axis, as in Fig. 10 is shown.

In der bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht das Kopplungsteil 20 aus einem Kunststoffteil, wobei der mittlere Bereich 22 hohl ausgebildet ist. Der mittlere Bereich 22 des Kopplungsteils 20 und die Zapfen 24 sind in einer Ausführungsform einstückig ausgebildet, währenddessen in einer anderen Ausführungsform der mittlere Bereich 22 und die Zapfen 24 als Einzelteile hergestellt werden und zu dem Kopplungsteil 20 zusammengesetzt und miteinander verbunden werden, insbesondere unlösbar miteinander verbunden sind.In the preferred embodiment, the coupling part 20 consists of a plastic part, wherein the central region 22 is hollow. The middle region 22 of the coupling part 20 and the pins 24 are integrally formed in one embodiment, while in another embodiment, the central region 22 and the pins 24 are manufactured as individual parts and assembled to the coupling member 20 and connected to each other, in particular permanently connected to each other are.

Der mittlere Bereich 22 ist in der gezeigten Ausführungsform so dimensioniert und besteht aus einem solchen Material, daß dieser beim Aufbringen einer vorbestimmten Kraft in die in den Fig. 10 und 11 gezeigte Stellung bringbar ist und bei Wegfall der Kraft in die Ausgangslage, die in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist, selbsttätig zurückkehrt.The central region 22 is dimensioned in the embodiment shown and is made of such a material that this when applying a predetermined force in the in the Fig. 10 and 11 shown position can be brought and in the absence of the force in the starting position, in Fig. 2 shown, returns automatically.

In einer modifizierten Ausführungsform ist der mittlere Bereich 22 so dimensioniert und besteht aus einem solchen Material, daß dieser in der unter Aufbringen einer Kraft erzielten Stellung verbleibt und unter Aufbringen einer Gegenkraft in die Ausgangslage zurückgeführt wird, wie es z.B. bei Trinkhalmen bekannt ist.In a modified embodiment, the central region 22 is dimensioned and made of a material such that it remains in the position achieved by application of a force and is returned to the starting position while applying a counterforce, as described e.g. is known for drinking straws.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein erstes Verlängerungsteil 30, das stabförmig ausgebildet und stirnseitig angeordnete Sacklöcher 32 aufweist. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist das erste Verlängerungsteil 30 zylinderförmig ausgebildet. In modifizierten Ausführungsformen ist das erste Verlängerungsteil 30 tonnenförmig und/oder hat eine im Querschnitt quadratische, rechteckige, ovale oder vieleckige Form, wie z.B. eine Sechskantform. Weiterhin kann das erste Verlängerungsteil 30 in Längsrichtung Abstufungen in Form von Bünden oder Nuten aufweisen und/oder konisch verlaufen oder mit einer Krümmung versehene Bereiche aufweisen. Fig. 3 shows a first extension part 30, the rod-shaped and frontally arranged blind holes 32 has. In the embodiment shown, the first extension part 30 is cylindrical. In modified embodiments, the first extension part 30 is barrel-shaped and / or has a square, rectangular, oval or polygonal shape, such as a hexagonal shape. Furthermore, the first extension part 30 may have graduations in the form of collars or grooves in the longitudinal direction and / or be conical or have regions provided with a curvature.

In einer weiteren Modifikation weist das erste Verlängerungsteil 30 statt der Sacklöcher 32 ein durchgehendes Loch (nicht gezeigt) auf.In a further modification, the first extension part 30 has a through hole (not shown) instead of the blind holes 32.

In einem der Sacklöcher 32 (bzw. auf einer Seite des Durchgangslochs) des ersten Verlängerungsteils 30 ist ein Permanentmagnet 34 befestigt. Der Permanentmagnet 34 ist so in dem Verlängerungsteil 30 angeordnet, daß sein Südpol S nach außen weist. Ein anderes erstes Verlängerungsteil 30 ist so gestaltet, daß der Nordpol N des Permanentmagneten 34 nach außen weist (nicht gezeigt). Die Verwendung von beiden ersten Verlängerungsteilen 30, bei denen eines mit einem nach außen weisenden Südpol S und ein anderes mit einem nach außen weisenden Nordpol N ausgebildet ist, erweitert die Möglichkeiten zur Schaffung von konstruktiven Formgebilden.In one of the blind holes 32 (or on one side of the through hole) of the first extension part 30, a permanent magnet 34 is fixed. The permanent magnet 34 is disposed in the extension part 30 so that its south pole S faces outward. Another first extension part 30 is designed so that the north pole N of the permanent magnet 34 faces outward (not shown). The use of both first extension parts 30, one with an outboard south pole S and another with an outboard north pole N, expands the possibilities for creating structural designs.

Das erste Verlängerungsteil 30 besteht in der gezeigten Ausführungsform vorzugsweise aus einem nichtmagnetischem Material, z.B. Kunststoff, wobei die Erfindung aber nicht hierauf beschränkt ist. So besteht in einer modifizierten Ausführungsform das erste Verlängerungsteil 30 aus einem nichtmagnetischem Material und ist mit einem magnetisch anziehbaren Material, insbesondere einem ferromagnetischen Material überzogen. In einer weiteren modifizierten Ausführungsform besteht das erste Verlängerungsteil 30 aus einem magnetisch anziehbaren Material.The first extension part 30 in the embodiment shown is preferably made of a non-magnetic material, e.g. Plastic, but the invention is not limited thereto. Thus, in a modified embodiment, the first extension part 30 is made of a non-magnetic material and is coated with a magnetically attractable material, in particular a ferromagnetic material. In a further modified embodiment, the first extension part 30 consists of a magnetically attractable material.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform kann, insbesondere bei Verwendung mehrerer erster Verlängerungsteile 30, das Verlängerungsteil 30 statt mit einem Magneten auch ohne Sackloch 32 auf einer Stirnseite ausgebildet sein oder in dem Sackloch 32 ein magnetisch anziehbares Teil, insbesondere ein ferromagnetisches Teil, befestigt sein.In another embodiment, in particular when using a plurality of first extension parts 30, the extension member 30 instead of a magnet without blind hole 32 may be formed on an end face or in the blind hole 32, a magnetically attractable part, in particular a ferromagnetic part, attached.

Ein zweites Verlängerungsteil 40 ist, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt ist, ähnlich zu dem Basisteil 10 und dem ersten Verlängerungsteil 30 ohne Permanentmagnet ausgebildet. Das zweite Verlängerungsteil 40 besteht aus einem magnetisch anziehbaren Material, insbesondere einem ferromagnetischen Material oder aus einem nichtmagnetischem Material, wie z.B. Kunststoff. In einer modifizierten Ausführungsform besteht das zweite Verlängerungsteil 40 aus einem nichtmagnetischem Material und ist mit einem magnetisch anziehbaren Material, insbesondere einem ferromagnetischen Material überzogen.A second extension part 40 is as in FIG Fig. 4 is shown similarly formed to the base member 10 and the first extension member 30 without a permanent magnet. The second extension part 40 consists of a magnetically attractable material, in particular a ferromagnetic material or a non-magnetic material, such as plastic.
