Abstract

The construction game is in the shape of an isosceles triangle with a right angle top (1). Each lateral face (2) is grooved in its middle and over all the height. The cylindrical groove is partially open over the whole height and each groove end includes a notch (3). The assembly of the modules is made with a friction peg of the same shape as the two grooves to be assembled. That is two cylinders (5) partially cut over all the height and joined on their cut part (6). A lug (8) located at the mid height of the peg is encastred in the groove notch.

Description

MODULE D'ASSEMBLAGE POUR JEU DE CONSTRUCTION
La présente invention est relative aux modules de jeu de construction et aux ensembles comprenant plusieurs modules assemblés.
ASSEMBLY MODULE FOR A CONSTRUCTION GAME
The present invention relates to building play modules and assemblies comprising several assembled modules.

Plus particulièrement, 1 invention concerne un module de construction en forme de prisme, c'est-à-dire en forme de polyèdre ayant deux bases égales et parallèles, et dont les faces latérales sont des parallélogrammes. Cette forme de prisme peut être un triangle isocèle (figure 1) avec un angle au sommet à angle droit (1). Elle peut aussi être un cube (Figure 2)
Chaque face latérale est rainurée en son milieu, permettant l'assemblage de modules à l'aide d'une cheville.
More particularly, the invention relates to a prism-shaped building module, that is to say in the form of a polyhedron having two equal and parallel bases, and the lateral faces of which are parallelograms. This form of prism can be an isosceles triangle (Figure 1) with an angle at the apex at right angles (1). It can also be a cube (Figure 2)
Each side face is grooved in the middle, allowing the assembly of modules using a dowel.

Les jeux de construction actuels, à système d'assemblage par emboitement, utilisant des modules de forme identique, avec des faces à ergots mâles et des faces femelles, ne permettent pas de faire des assemblages compacts et d'obtenir des figures carrées ou rectangulaires, base de toute construction, par ce procédé, le quatrième module ne pouvant être emboîté à cause du dépassement des ergots mâles. Par exemple, il n'est pas possible de former un quadrilatère carré composé de quatre modules connectés les uns aux autres, en forme de prisme en triangle isocèle avec un sommet à angle droit, ou de quatre modules de forme cubique, et par conséquent, d'en superposer ou d'en juxtaposer quatre autres formant la même figure. Par ailleurs, ce système d'assemblage ne permet pas des constructions de longue portée, horizontales ou obliques, non soutenues, sans un écroulement de celles-ci, conséquence du poids de la construction. Aussi, ces deux cas limitent les types de constructions. The current construction sets, with assembly system by interlocking, using modules of identical shape, with faces with male lugs and female faces, do not make it possible to make compact assemblies and to obtain square or rectangular figures, basis of any construction, by this process, the fourth module can not be fitted because of the protrusion of the male pins. For example, it is not possible to form a square quadrilateral composed of four modules connected to each other, in the form of an isosceles triangle prism with a vertex at right angles, or of four modules of cubic form, and therefore, to superimpose or juxtapose four others forming the same figure. Furthermore, this assembly system does not allow long-span constructions, horizontal or oblique, not supported, without collapsing them, consequence of the weight of the construction. Also, these two cases limit the types of constructions.

La présente invention a notamment pour but de pallier à ces inconvénients. The present invention aims in particular to overcome these drawbacks.

A cet effet, selon l'invention, le module est essentiellement caractérisé en ce que tous les modules ne comportent plus de parties mâles, celles-ci étant indépendantes du module. Ainsi, lorsqu'on veut assembler plusieurs modules les uns aux autres, on réalise cet assemblage au moyen de chevilles faisant office de parties mâles.  To this end, according to the invention, the module is essentially characterized in that all the modules no longer have male parts, these being independent of the module. Thus, when one wants to assemble several modules to each other, this assembly is carried out by means of dowels acting as male parts.

Sur les dessins
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un module en forme de prisme en triangle isocèle, avec un angle au sommet à angle droit, et de sa cheville d'assemblage,
- la figure 2 représente une perspective d'un module en forme de cube, et de sa cheville d'assemblage
- la figure 3 représente une réalisation d'un assemblage en forme de quadrilatère carré composé de quatre modules en forme de prisme en triangle isocèle dont l'angle au sommet est à angle droit. La connexion des modules entre eux se faisant par l'introduction des chevilles dans les rainures des modules, quatres autres modules peuvant se superposer à ceux-ci
- les figures 4-5-6-7-8-9, sont des vues en perspective montrant quelques réalisations de constructions, formées chacune par plusieurs modules tels que celui de la figure 1.
On the drawings
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a prism-shaped module in an isosceles triangle, with an apex angle at a right angle, and of its connecting pin,
- Figure 2 shows a perspective of a cube-shaped module, and its assembly pin
- Figure 3 shows an embodiment of an assembly in the form of a square quadrilateral composed of four modules in the form of a prism in an isosceles triangle whose angle at the apex is at right angles. The modules are connected to each other by inserting the plugs into the grooves of the modules, four other modules can be superimposed on them
- Figures 4-5-6-7-8-9, are perspective views showing some construction achievements, each formed by several modules such as that of Figure 1.

Pour des modes de réalisation, on a notamment recours aux dispositions suivantes, sans pour autant se limiter à ces seuls modes de réalisations
- le module est en forme de prisme en triangle isocèle (figure 1), avec un angle au sommet à angle droit (1). Ce module selon l'invention, pourrait avoir toute autre forme connue, et notamment, la forme de cube (figure 2)
- chaque face latérale est rainurée (2) en son milieu et sur toute la hauteur, reliant ainsi les deux bases. La rainure est en forme de cylindre partiellement ouvert sur toute la hauteur. Chaque extrêmité de la rainure, au niveau des bases, comprend une encoche (3);
- l'assemblage des modules se fait à l'aide d'une cheville à frottement, nervurée ou non (4) et de meme forme que les deux rainures à assembler, soit deux cylindres partiellement coupés sur toute la hauteur (5) et conjoints en leur partie coupée (6). Ses extrêmités (7) sont arrondies, facilitant l'introduction dans les rainures des modules. Un ergot (8) à mi-hauteur d'un des deux cylindres, viendra s'encastrer dans l'encoche (3) de la rainure, servant de butée lors de l'introduction de la cheville dans la rainure
- cet ergot sert à limiter la course de la cheville, celle-ci dépassant du module, permettra de superposer un autre module.
For embodiments, use is made of the following provisions in particular, without being limited to these embodiments alone
- the module is in the form of an isosceles triangle prism (Figure 1), with an apex angle at a right angle (1). This module according to the invention, could have any other known shape, and in particular, the shape of a cube (FIG. 2)
- Each side face is grooved (2) in the middle and over the entire height, thus connecting the two bases. The groove is in the form of a cylinder partially open over the entire height. Each end of the groove, at the level of the bases, comprises a notch (3);
- the modules are assembled using a friction pin, ribbed or not (4) and in the same shape as the two grooves to be assembled, ie two cylinders partially cut over the entire height (5) and joined in their cut part (6). Its ends (7) are rounded, facilitating the introduction into the grooves of the modules. A lug (8) halfway up one of the two cylinders, will be embedded in the notch (3) of the groove, serving as a stop during the introduction of the dowel into the groove
- This lug is used to limit the stroke of the pin, it protruding from the module, will allow to superimpose another module.

Le module peut être réalisé en bois, en plastique, en mousse, ou tout autre matériau. The module can be made of wood, plastic, foam, or any other material.

En petites dimensions, le module est particulièrement destiné
- au jeu de construction et de créativité,
- au jeu pédagogique et éducatif.
In small dimensions, the module is particularly intended
