Description

Modular building set.

Object of the invention

The present invention, constructive set modular, refers to a set to fix different pieces between yes by means of magnets in order to assemble or build various structures These structures may be, preferably, although not exclusively, furniture, furniture accessories, decorative objects, partition walls, etc.

The present invention is applicable mainly in the furniture construction sector, Decoration and interior design.

Background of the invention

In the state of the art they are known different ways of building structures, which differ mainly by the method of anchoring or fixing between the different independent elements that make up the structure once they have been joined. For example in wooden structures, the pieces are assembled, among others options, by means of tabs, box and spigot assemblies, splices to miter or embedded joints. In all cases the pieces They require fixing with adhesives. The pieces of wood or metal They can also be attached with screws or screws.

The drawback of joining methods previous is that they are fixed unions, so that once made cannot be disassembled or, for this, it is necessary to perform a specific effort that requires time, use the precise tools and assume the risk of deterioration of their own pieces. They are normally non-reversible joints that, therefore, they condition the final shape of the resulting structure. This same effect will have the metal parts joined by welding.

There are also systems or sets of assembly in wood using the tongue and groove or anchoring of Slotted parts that can be mounted and removed. In these cases or you can only build a certain structure, in the case of tongue and groove, or the design is very conditioned to the system of union, case of the pieces with grooves.

Description of the invention

The present invention, constructive set modular, proposes a new set of modular construction that does not It is limited by existing solutions in the state of technique, satisfactorily solving the problem existing and offers new alternatives in the sector.

The object of the invention is a modular construction set, for the construction or assembly of furniture, interior architecture solutions, furniture accessories and decorative objects, among others, by joining independent construction elements together, comprising at least one first and second construction elements independent of each other and at least one magnet disposed on at least one of the surfaces of each of the independent construction elements, said at least first magnet being disposed on the first construction element of a pole opposite to said at less second magnet arranged in the second construction element to allow the union between both elements
cough.

The modular construction set can be formed by several independent constructive elements, being able to arrange each building element of different shapes and sizes, as well as different number of magnets arranged in some or all of its surfaces. Said magnets will preferably be circular and of small thickness / height, however they can present any geometry or size.

Such magnets are preferably found. inserted in recesses made on the surfaces of the construction elements or superficially glued to the material in which the construction elements are manufactured, which obviously it can be any material, such as wood, aluminum, steel, plastic, etc. The magnets inserted in recesses can also be attached to the construction element. The main difference between placing the magnet in a recess or placing it in the surface will determine the existence or not of holes, equivalent at the height / thickness of the magnet, between the different elements constructive together.

For the assembly of a structure by means of constructive set of the present invention, the surfaces of different construction elements that will remain adhered together due to the opposite polarity between the magnets of one of the surfaces and the opposite.

Through this fixing set with magnets, not only the assembly of structures is allowed according to the tastes of the user, but also allows the separation of structures, separating the construction elements by pressure, to build New structures with the same constructive elements. The The present invention describes a modular construction assembly that It is new, easy and versatile to join building elements, or parts or components, originally loose.

The magnets can be placed or placed in different places of the pieces or constructive elements, allowing to realize innumerable compositions, which, in addition They can subsequently modify without effort or tools. This ease of joining and separating pieces opens up huge possibilities for the design, to generate structures in multiple ways that adapt to any taste or need.

Depending on the size and material of the construction elements magnets of different material are used. Thus, for example, for large pieces that require a high power of clamping, or for parts that need to incorporate very small magnets Neodymium magnets are used, which have a high magnetic force per unit area. Neodymium magnets belong to the family of rare earth magnets. They are permanent magnets of alloy of Ne, Fe, B (neodymium, iron and boron) with great power, approximately six times higher than that of ferrite magnets. Neodymium magnets are specially designed to use high temperature (up to 220 ° C.), and its magnetic force, or product magnetic energy, measured in MGOe units (mega gauss-oersteds) reaches different values depending on among other reasons of the size of the magnet. The magnets are coated with nickel, zinc, silver or gold to protect them from oxidation. Likewise magnets of other materials or other elements may be used magnetic

Description of a preferred embodiment

Based on the figures, we will proceed to detail one or more embodiments using the modular set of construction object of the present invention.

The modular set presents elements independent constructs 2 that are joined together by the magnetic force exerted by the opposite poles of magnets 1, being these magnets preferably of neomide for their greatest strength magnetic

For the description of the embodiment example disc magnets 1 of 45 MGOe can be used, with 20 mm of diameter and 3 mm thick that provide a clamping force Approximately 3.9 Kg. The above is set forth by way of example and that magnets can have any measure and shape and therefore adapt according to the needs of the structure to build.

For the assembly of a first element constructive independent 2 that has at least one pole magnet positive 1 in a recess 3 on said surface, with a second 2 'independent building element that has at least one magnet of negative pole 1 'in a recess 3', just bring an element constructive 2 to another 2 'and therefore face the two magnets 1,1', that due to their opposite polarity will force the union between both construction elements 2, 2 '.

Figures 5, 6 and 7 show examples of constructions made according to the modular construction set object of the present invention.
