Description

DESCRIPTION

PART FOR FORMATION OF STRUCTURES

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The stated invention falls within the sector of the elements or accessories intended for the formation of structures.

Further specifying the sector, the stated invention falls within the field of the elements or accessories intended for the purpose described above and whose formation is basically carried out by assembling them, without the aid of external elements or accessories.

STATE OF THE ART

As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that various types of elements or accessories for the formation of structures by assembly in different planes, such as horizontal, vertical or inclined, are known by the inventor.

These elements or accessories are made of different types of material, the most common being iron, wood or resin, and have different geometric shapes, such as angular, tubular, and even flat, such as boards.

They are used in different integral parts of the structure, such as pillars, support beams, walls, floors, etc.

The elements mentioned above belong mostly to the construction sector, but there are other types of elements for assembling structures and which are intended for the recreational sector.

The latter are focused on the construction of small-scale structures and whose purpose is to stimulate creativity, imagination and dexterity, while serving as entertainment for the younger population.

At least, on the part of the applicant, the existence of some element similar to that of the stated invention is unknown, which presents technical and constitutive characteristics similar to those presented by the one advocated here as claimed below, and whose field or sector encompasses those previously exposed.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with what has been stated in the state of the art, the manufacture, handling and installation of said elements or accessories entails in most cases a fairly important preparation and logistics.

Another drawback they present is the risk of occupational accident that their handling presents due to the number of edges present, in addition to the weight they contain.

The stated invention is mainly intended to create structures whose support is that of light elements, such as tarpaulins, plastics, light panels or the like.

In the recreational sector it is destined to the elaboration of structures or constructions on a reduced scale in order to stimulate creativity, imagination and skill in the younger society.

It is the configuration, composition and form of use, which gives the stated invention advantages over what is contemplated in the state of the art as will be seen later.

Thus, the piece for the formation of structures that the invention proposes is configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, being the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish it from what is already known, conveniently included in the indications that accompany the present description.

Specifically, what the invention proposes, as mentioned above, is a piece for making structures formed by longitudinal and transverse parts by assembling several similar pieces and where said piece is made up of two octagons joined together by a straight hexagonal section and where On the opposite side of said octagons to the aforementioned union, there are also straight extensions with a hexagonal profile.

The central parts of the octagons have a hexagonal-shaped hole in order for these extensions to be inserted through them thanks to the previously defined profile.

In this way, and thanks to its configuration, it allows the multidirectional pieces to be assembled together, thus obtaining different structural configurations such as cubic, rectangular, triangular structures, etc.

As mentioned in the object of the invention, said pieces are designed to be handled in a simple and risk-free manner, said structures also being mainly focused on supporting light materials or recreational use on a smaller scale. For this purpose, and in order to make the structure light and manageable, the pieces are arranged for use with air blown inside them through a retractable valve placed in a strategic place on the piece and which does not interfere with the assembly.

In another presentation, and depending on circumstances that require it, the piece may be made of metal, wood, resin, plastic or cork.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED FORM OF EMBODIMENT

With reference to the attached figures, taking into account the numbering reflected therein, and in a preferred and non-limiting embodiment, the piece for forming structures consists of two equal octagons (1) with a hexagonal profile joined by a straight section (2) also with a hexagonal profile and with two extensions (3), also with a hexagonal profile, located on the reverse side of said union.

In the center of the octagons (1) there is a hole (4), also hexagonal, to be crossed by the extensions (3).

The material that makes up the part has elastic properties so that the part is inflated by blowing air, for which a retractable valve (5) is provided by which to inflate or deflate it.

In another embodiment, and depending on circumstances that require it, the piece may be made of metal, wood, resin, plastic or cork, hollow or solid.

Claims (4)

Piece for the formation of structures, characterized by comprising two octagons (1) with a hexagonal profile with holes (4) also hexagonal in its central part, both octagons being joined by a straight section (2) also hexagonal and where in the parts Opposite to said union there are also two extensions (3) which are also hexagonal. 2. Part for the formation of structures according to claim 1, characterized in that it is made of an inflatable material. 3. Part for the formation of structures according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that it has a retractable valve (5) for inflating or deflating it. 4. Part for the formation of structures according to claim 1, characterized in that in another embodiment the part is made of other non-inflatable materials.
