Description

SELF-SUPPORTING WEAVING-MODULE BUILDING SYSTEM
CONCEPT DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:
The system consists of a basic element, which may be square and a connector ele- ment, which may be symmetrically cross-shaped. Wth these elements, a number of different shapes, sizes and expressions can be created. 3-Dimensionelle models can be made like stars, hearts, wreaths, animals, fish, birds, plants, abstract designed sculptures etc. Designer lamps in many different shapes, Christmas lamps and kids deco lamps. The possibilities are limitless.
The light sources are mainly mini LED lights on a copper wire that can be flared into the inside of the lamps by hanging fixed in the cross-sectional joint's hooks / arrows.
The output can be different plastic materials such as PP, PVC, ABS, Acrylic, etc. With the advantage that they can be translucent and light can shine through. It can also be carried out in thin metals, which have the necessary flexibility as well as various wood types made from thin plates that can give enough holding power when merged. Final- ly, it is also possible to combine the different materials mentioned to achieve the right coupling function and / or design expression.
Size dimensions are without limitations. WO 2012/026226 describes a modular system comprising substantially flat base modules and assembly elements. The basic modules comprise edges of the same dimensions and two or more slots located in two layers of the base module at its edges. Each assembly element can be retained in the slots via flaps in the base module, which are positioned so that they can retain the counter-elemental tips of the connector element. The modular system can form self-supporting spacious structures.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Most people are not really creative or struggling to create something creative that they are content with. It does not mean that people do not want to unfold themselves and if only the risk of failing is manageable, and the success is fairly secured, they will really like to make something. In fact, it is relaxing and pleasant to do something concrete with your hands, such as weaving.
This is becoming an increasing need because the society's development of digitization causes people to create fewer concrete things in their everyday life.
At the same time, there has been a rapid development within LED lighting within the last few years. One of the innovations is copper wire mini LED light. Because they work at low voltage, it is possible for end-users themselves safely to use them creatively for decorating etc.
But the challenge for the users has been to find objects where they can "sling" these light chains into, to make them decorative. For both manufacturers and consumers, it is difficult to create different designs where the LED lights sit on the inner / outer "shell", thus making the shape or sculpture bright as a whole. Currently, you can only buy fin- ished metal grids shaped like a star, for example.
If the lights could only follow the inner contour, then it would be possible to make the shape of a semitransparent material that will make the light more or less diffuse and illuminate the whole rather than just the LED light point. These two needs have now been united and possible to be met by means of the invention of the self-supporting modular building system.
The system is a modular and creative design building system for creating shapes, design lights, light decorations, Christmas decorations and season lighting effects as well and much more.
The light effects that can be created with this system are quite unique and in addition to lamps and decorative lighting in all shapes, - letters and numbers can also be created. In this way, the flexible wiring module system can act the same as neon lights, but in a new way that allows the user to create what to write with the light, at low cost, easy and instantly.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The novelty of the invention is a modular system comprising substantially flat base modules and connector elements wherein the base modules comprise edges of the same dimensions and at each edge comprise two or more slots located adjacent to each other and in parallel and where the individual assembly element can be retained in the two or more slots in the same basic module, and where the modular system can form self-supporting spacious constructions.
Self-stabilizing and self-supporting spatial modular weaving system, where base modules can be connected through two or more slots with one or more connector elements.
A modular folding system that creates stability between the individual connectors, so that the basic elements can be in level to each other when assembled.
With the module, it is understood that the weaving side always are joint together in the same dimensions and in a grit module, so that they reach same height, length and width measurements
At the same time, they ensure self-supporting stability for the 3-D spatial structures that can be created by the system. The system is unique in that it does not need an inner skeleton to achieve stable special constructions.
This is crucial in the users' creative process, where stability can be achieved without planning an inner design first.
The basic modules can have a diagonal curved edge that creates a basic structural geometric design.
A diagonal bend edge can ensure all basic elements to have a triangular structure that provides stability to the basic static structure.
The unique three-point design can provide a strong static construction to any shape that are created with the system. Although the connector joints are flexible, the triangle geometry can make all shapes created with the system become stable and static, making big and spatial shapes possible..
The connector elements may have one or more barb-shaped coupling head members. By means of an insert guiding shape and subsequent barb functions that can hold, once the connector element is weaved fully in to the base element.
Basic elements and connector elements may have a material flexibility that allows them to mitigate the oversize of the braid head relative to the braces. This makes it thus possible for them to get braided together.
The connector elements may have barb heads that can flip up to lock back and forth and side to side.
In this way the distance between two basic elements will be kept precise.
This feature further strengthens the self-supporting construction.
It is possible to choose only to lock on one side, with a fixed angle between two basic elements in the horizontal plane.
The modular system may have variable and flexible angles in the horizontal plane and the distance between basic elements in the mode when they are joint together.
By making the root of the connector element longer than just able to reach through the tilts, it is possible to vary the horizontal distance and angle between the basic elements.
This gives great design freedom while maintaining stability and fixation. The slots may have a smiley shape. The smiley slot allows the plastic foil meshes to withstand greater pressure from the punching process in production without being deformed or forming unwanted shadows in the component.
In addition, this form guides and helps the insertion of itself.
The module system can have a 360 degree variable angle between basic elements relative to each other.
The flexible bracket assembly allows the base elements to be angled up to 360 de- grees in relation to each other. This gives the ultimate module grit, which makes the module always live up to the basic geometric. The module system can have 130 degree angle connection, which provides a closed half module. When two diagonal-bend elements are directly weaved together, a closed half-module will occur.
The connector elements may have a fixation insertion function of LED light chains.
The connector elements are designed to receive an insertion of a copper wire.
The wire with LED lights on can be merged completely close to the inner surface in any shape created by the system.
The basic elements and connector elements can be formed with a suspension function. In order to hang or attach the modular system it is possible to design functions that click or snap or can be screwed, glued, taped to other objects or interior objects.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
The basic element is a square flat plate with two or more slots 46 in each coupling direction. (FIG 1.) These slots are braid openings 303, 306 for a cross-shaped connector element 108,260. (FIG. 2). The coupling principle consists in merging the two slots in the base element and the cross-shaped connector element four arrow-shaped insertion members 16. (FIG. 3). The elements are merged and laced into each other through the two slots 46 of the base element, whereby the outer ends of the arrow shape then form a retention, which makes them not easily and unintentionally slide apart. (FIG. 4). How powerful this clutch power must be is determined by the overlap of the arrows in relation to the slots. (FIG. 5). The connector element 108, 260 can be inserted through the front slit hole from one side, thereby reaching the other side of the square element. Then it can be inserted through the next slit hole, through which it comes through to the first side again. In this manner, the square element and connector element 108, 260 are braided together. The reason for the two slots 46 is to ensure that the connections are in line with each other. (FIG 6.) Two or more slots 46 ensures the cross-shaped connector element 108,260 and the square element to be brought into alignment with each other. This is important when the next basic element is added to the cross element. It is now possible to continue to weave elements after each other like a flat blanket. (FIG 7.)
When the elements are made of flexible materials such as thin wood, thin metal, plastic and rubber, it will be possible to deflect the connector element's 108,260 arrow tips when pressed into a slit hole. Therefore, they can be made with a wider width than the slit holes they must pass true (FIG. 8)
In case both the base plates and the assembly members materials are not flexible, it may be necessary to force the connector element 108,260 a portion to the side to make it pass the slit hole. The slit hole closest to the outer edge must be made slightly wider than the inner one so that it can give enough leave way. (FIG 9.) To avoid the el- ements twisting in relation to each other so they risk falling appart, it is important that the two middle arrows on the connector that are not used for the weaving joint, can be flipped up so that they gets locked and prevented from twisting to the sides. (FIG. 10 & FIG. 1 1) In the building of the models it is important to be able to control whether elements should hold a certain distance or not. Especially when elements are to be angled, ie 90 degrees or 180 degrees, it is necessary that they do not slide completely close together. (FIG. 12) Both elements can be made in a flat flexible material such as plastic foil, cardboard, paper, metal foil, rubber, EVA or other foam types, natural materials such as wood, bamboo etc.
When two base plates are connected to a connector element, they can be pushed close together, but can also slide out to the point where the arrow couplings barb and hold the elements. The square base plate has two hooks that can form clutch power when the cross element's arrow ends, which are not used to hold plates together, are tilted on the top of the two basic elements. This creates a controlled distance between the basic elements with the maximum connection distance. (Figures 13 & 14) If the arrow-shaped connector element 108, 260 is not "locked" by flipping the two unlocked ends upwards, it is possible to angle two basic elements a lot with each other. So the bending or angle between two basic elements in flat planes can be 35 degrees or more depending on the slit holes lengths relative to the connector element's arrow rod. This technical option allows for the connection of basic elements in a ring of 5, 6, 7, 8 etc. and provides plentiful of design constructions.
Since the connector elements 108,260 are narrower than the basic elements, it will be possible to bend these without slipping out of the grooves in the two slots 46 in each basic element. This allows two basic elements to bend freely relative to each other at 45 degrees or 90 degrees or even 180 degrees until the two basic elements cover each other just by the distance a connector cross gives.
Since the basic elements themselves can be bent diagonally from corner to corner, it is possible to weave a basic element by itself by using a single connector component.
When two basic elements are bent diagonally and each is assembled with a cross- connector, they can be combined with two additional cross connectors, thus acting as a 2/3 module relative to the basic elements.
They will also merge into a diagonal line relative to the basic elements of the basic components.
The flexible modular module building system is able to bend and rotate in any direction, so even though its basic orientation is the total matrix straight up and down, it has very flexible design features that enable it to recreate almost every conceivable form and expression , one can imagine.
The basic element is shaped in its basic form, consisting of four equal sides, each of which forms a module connector side. On the surface of the base element, two or more brackets are made for each module side. The shape of the braid slits may be strait, curved as a smile, oval or arrow-shaped, as well as combinations thereof (FIG 15.) The corners of the slits may be semicircular, rectangular, straight, arrow-shaped or combinations thereof. The slot termination may also be formed with a circle or square larger than the sides of the slit it selves 5, 8, 22, 33, 51 , 59, 61 , 74, 85, 87, 93, 97, 99, 103, 106, 125, 126, 130, 133, 134, 135, 140, 143, 146, 149, 155, 156, 162, 165, 170, 175, 184, 186, 193, 219, 285, 287, 314. Finally, all designs can also be performed as one slot line and thus not at a given distance between the two slot opening sides.
Manufacturingly, there may be advantages to some of these in terms of production giv- ing flawless items.
The basic element may also be formed in a number of geometric shapes, which may advantageously have an appropriate number of side modules (Figures 16, 17, 18 & 19).
The basic elements have a diagonal bending line that gives the elements a triangular geometry. This particular geometry makes it possible to shape, merge or build an array of exciting shapes and expressions. You decide how much you want to bend the items, and depending on how they turn, they will turn in different directions. (FIG 20.)
The angular, triangular shape together with the adjustable angles between the joints created by the cross and base elements make the system create almost every con- ceivable shape. Especially very organic shapes are possible to achieve in stable constructions. (FIG 21.)
THE CONNECTOR COMPONENT
The connector element 108,260 is flexible and can be bent. This allows for 3D con- struction, and not only flat models, but also 3-dimensional models.
The cross-shaped connector element 108,260 with arrows at the ends can be formed in several ways. In case of double symmetry, it is to ease the users in the construction because it will always turn correctly, no matter which end is used. (FIG. 2). However, only two of the arrows are actually used for the connection of two basic elements. The arrow form is chosen to communicate a connecting direction, and also because they have a natural insertion control and a natural clutch power when they are larger than the bracket hole. A circular shape, a drop shape, a square of the tip or an oval shape may also be used. (FIG. 22). On the other hand, the arrow shape is more ideal when slid into a slightly angled, whereby its oversize may slide into place and subsequently, when aligned, give maximum pull back resistance. (FIG. 23)
It will be possible to design only the two unifying ends as arrows, thus creating other possible functions and shaping on one or two of the remaining ends. This can, for example, be used to make a circular end with a hole that can be used for fastening wire, cord or other suspension functionality as attachment to a wall, ceiling or other object. (FIG. 24) The connector element 108,260 can also be made of injection molded plastic, whereby the attachment function can be designed more advanced with click or snap. (FIG. 25)
Furthermore, cross-connectors 108, 260 are configured to form the wires passing through LED light chains that weave into lamps and decorations on the inside. Thus, without the use of tools or other coupling means, it is possible to attach the micro LED light chains close to the foil surface. (FIG. 26 & 27). This creates the maximum "dim" light in accordance to the desired transparency of the foil.
The LED chains can also be retained using a custom-made clip. These clips can be snapped onto the grooves or base plates as they get a hole in the middle or other stra- tegic places as an example. (FIGS. 28 & 29.) The clip is thus fixed in the flexible elements and forms anchor point for the wires or LED lights which are subsequently clipped.
It is also possible to integrate the basic element and the connector element 108,260 in- to one and the same element. (FIG 30.) Hereby, the system is a hermaphrodite construct, which thus has male organs and female organs integrated on the same basic element. In this case, it is therefore unnecessary to have dedicated connector elements. SHORT FIGURE EXPLANATION:
