Definitions

  • the invention relates to a modular polyhedron object, preferably in cuboid, prism or cube shape, with at least four outer surfaces of different shape and / or color in the assembled state, as in the preamble of claim 1 and claim 11 in connection with a modular Cube object is specified.
  • Such objects consist of a plurality of individual building blocks, which can be variably assembled and each form part of the shape and / or color of each outer surface of the object in the assembled state of the object.
  • the object according to the invention is composed of individual, likewise a polyhedron-containing blocks in various ways, so to speak. If the individual building blocks are intended to be combined with one another to form the entire object, the outer surfaces each form a uniform design, for example in the form of a color design, a motif or symbols.
  • Such modular objects are used, for example, for the training of spatial imagination.
  • such objects can also be used as a three-dimensional visualization medium to display content on the respective exterior surfaces of the modular object variably and in three dimensions.
  • Such objects have hitherto been known, for example, in the form of image cubes, which consist of individual, square building blocks, on each of which a part of an overall motif is depicted and which in a certain state of an assembly reproduce an overall motif.
  • Another type of such cubic objects are the so-called rotating cubes, in which individual cubes with different outer versions are coupled in the interior of a special mechanism, so they always have a firm cohesion as a whole despite adjustability.
  • the object according to the invention is intended to enable a higher degree of complexity and greater variability than previous such objects with the simplest possible structure of the individual components.
  • the modular object according to the invention is constructed of a plurality of individual building blocks of the same size and shape and has at least four outer surfaces of different shape and / or color in the assembled state, wherein the individual blocks each have a part of the respective shape and / or Color design of each outer surface form a module.
  • the object can be assembled loosely or with detachable connection means to an overall object variably.
  • the individual building blocks of this module within the object have at least four differently shaped side surfaces of the type that, if the object is congruently assembled, both identically designed exterior surfaces result on each side of the object, and the side surfaces of the building blocks that are respectively opposite in the interior of the object, where there are vertically and horizontally matching pair codings.
  • the individual building blocks can thus be assembled in different ways, but only with a correct, shape-congruent assembly of the blocks, the uniformly shaped outer surfaces of the object arise.
  • the differently shaped or shaped side surfaces of the individual building blocks are both a respective component of the design of the outer surfaces of the object and a coding for the composition of the individual building blocks for the correct, shape-congruent structure of the modular polyhedron object.
  • Respective interior side surfaces of the blocks are always in accordance with the invention of correspondingly shaped or designed side surfaces of iedem adjacent building block.
  • the shape and shape of the individual building blocks of the object according to the invention is chosen so that a coincidence of the embodiments of the side surfaces in total both inside adjacent building blocks as well as a uniform shape of the design of the entire outer surface of each side of the object is present.
  • the coding for a correct composition of the object is achieved equally by the various individual designs of the side surfaces, which at the same time form part of the overall design of the outer surface of the object in the state of correct assembly.
  • Each type of execution of the side surfaces of the blocks is, so to speak, the connecting means for the construction of the object.
  • the execution of the individual side surfaces of the blocks can be, for example, a color design with or without symbols.
  • the different embodiments of the side surfaces of the individual blocks are formed with each interlocking recesses and elevations of at least four different shapes.
  • an additional coding for the assembly of the building blocks to the object can be given with the depressions and elevations.
  • a certain cohesion of the building blocks can be produced during construction, so that the object already has a certain hold without additional (alternative) connection means.
  • each cube module has releasable connection means.
  • releasable connection means for example, connectors, adhesive bonds or the like can be used, as long as the blocks variable, d. H. with their different sides differently aligned, can be put together and be taken apart again.
  • the releasable connection means have the advantage that the object has greater stability even without outer sheaths or the like. In addition, they help to hold the object together for transportation and after the construction has taken place.
  • the execution of the side surfaces of the individual building blocks may also be part of an overall pictorial motif which, in conjunction with the associated building blocks, may form an overall motif of each side of the object.
  • the respective different type of execution of the side surfaces of the blocks may also be formed with relief-like shapes, ie in a non-planar surface.
  • this is not restrictive, and the design of the side surfaces of the individual blocks can also take place via other forms of coding, as long as each may give different, uniform identifications for the outer surfaces of the entire object and the individual blocks with according to the invention at least four, or for example five designed differently shaped or shaped side surfaces.
  • each individual building block of the object at least four, five or six different versions of side surfaces. That is, the single device is provided with different side surfaces such that there are at least four different types of side surfaces in each device of a modular object.
  • each block within the object has a unique shape through its differently shaped side surfaces.
  • the individual blocks are therefore each a unique and find no equivalent in another block and the same object.
  • the object can be used as To combine a three-dimensional puzzle in a correct manner only with high concentration and in consideration of all side surfaces of the individual building blocks both inside and on the outside.
  • the different embodiments of the side surfaces of the blocks are realized by means of a combined color and shape design.
  • a color design alone or a shape design alone can be used as an identifier for the respective side surfaces of the blocks.
  • the marking or design of the side surfaces is also possible by means of symbols or logos or other similar ciphers such as relief-like surfaces, as long as an assignment of the correct assembly by matching side surfaces of each adjoining building blocks is possible and on the respective sides of the object as a whole distinctive designs or content in shape-congruent assembly.
  • a combined color and shape of the side surfaces of the design freedom for the production of the object is increased, and it can, for example, color images as a form of visualization on the outer surfaces of the object can be realized from the individual designs of the side surfaces of the blocks in the correct, predefined structure automatically arise.
  • at least four outer surfaces can be realized with a symmetrical, uniform color design, while the other outer surfaces carry a motif of a product or a national flag. Only in the correct shape-congruent assembly of the building blocks based on the coding according to the invention will the latter arise and be visible.
  • the different embodiments of the respective side surfaces of the blocks on a number or letter coding can be used alone as well as in addition to a color or motivational design. Coding by means of numbers or letters has the advantage that, for example, when used as a training object, the degree of difficulty is further increased in order to carry out the correct assembly.
  • the object is further characterized according to the invention characterized in that in the correct shape congruent assembly of the object, the individual codes on the outer surfaces of the object are uniform and inside the opposite side surfaces of the blocks each have the same code (letter or number).
  • the respective different shape and / or color of the outer surface result in a jigsaw puzzle-shaped motif in the predefined state of a correct, congruent assembly of the individual building blocks of the object.
  • the Overall, the object shows on its outer sides a complete motif, for example an image of a product or object, which arises only in a single, correct assembly of the building blocks. Incorrect assembly of the individual components, ie if the coding is not properly taken into account by the respective shaped side surfaces of the blocks, does not result in the desired motif on the outer sides. It can be immediately recognized whether or not the coincidence has been maintained inside the opposing shapes of side surfaces, otherwise the outer motifs on the outer surfaces of the object will not adjust.
  • the invention can be used, for example, as a multi-dimensional presentation object for products with both external and internal representation or as a learning or training device for practicing spatial imagination.
  • the consistent three-dimensionality of the forms of side-piece shapes makes assembly particularly challenging and requires high concentration from the user when the object is used, for example, as a puzzle game or for competitions. Even with a repeated use of the object, the degree of complexity remains difficult due to the special design of the individual building blocks, each with at least five different, individualized side surfaces.
  • the different design is provided in the design of the side surfaces of the blocks with an asymmetrical in relation to the block motif.
  • an asymmetrical motif in the degree of complexity lower.
  • Such an embodiment in addition to considering the (inner) codings, also requires the correct alignment of the respective asymmetrical symbols to be properly aligned with the symbols on the adjacent building blocks of each side surface of the object. With this information can be given for the correct construction of the object.
  • the modular polyhedron object is composed of 16, 27 blocks, 64 blocks, 125 individual blocks, 216 or 512 individual blocks.
  • the system of 27 consists of three individual building blocks each in width, depth and height, and the 64-system consists of four or the 125 system of five building blocks per dimension.
  • objects can be produced with 216 or 512 individual components. The variability and complexity of the modular Object is then correspondingly higher. There is also the version with 32 or 48 blocks.
  • the Fig. 1 shows in a perspective view of a first embodiment of a cube-shaped object 10, consisting of twenty-seven individual building blocks 20.
  • the building blocks 20 are in the assembled state of the cube object 10 each three in width, depth and height.

  • each module 20 is provided in its design in this example with at least five different side surfaces 21 and in this embodiment also a unique within each cube object 10. That is, this cube object 10 consisting of twenty-seven individual blocks 20 each has each block 20 in his certain form and execution only once.
  • the execution of the individual building blocks 20 is chosen such that, given a correct, shape-congruent assembly of the cube object, both uniform outer surfaces 11 of the cube object 10 result on all six sides (cf. Fig. 1 ) as well as inside the embodiments of the side surfaces 21 correspond, each of adjacent building blocks 20 and lie against each other.

  • the middle side surface of the individual cubes 1.1.1 to 1.3.3 is realized here with the points in the middle gray area and a skew hatching in all blocks 20 equal.
  • This correspondence or coincidence of abutting side surfaces 21 thus forms a kind of coding for the three-dimensional assembly of the individual building blocks 20 of the cube object 10 in order to obtain in the finished modular cube object the respective outer shapes of the outer surfaces 11 in a unitary form.

  • the individual side surfaces 21 of the differently designed components 20 are embodied here in a different form in order to explain that what matters is not the nature or shape of the motifs or the color of the side surfaces, but that after Invention are realized in each case at least four different side surfaces 21 in each individual block 20.
