Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、主として玩具として用いられるか、または、実用品を組み立てることの出来る組立ブロックに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の組立ブロックは、ブロックの表面に連結用の受口と、その受口に嵌合する突部よりなるプラグを設け、一つのブロックの受口に、他のブロックのプラグを嵌合して連結している。
【０００３】
また、特開平６−３０４３４４で開示された組立てブロックは、図１３、１４に示すように、周囲の側面に受口２を設けたブロック板１と、四角柱形で、四側面の少なくとも２面に、ブロック板１の受口２に嵌合できるプラグ（突部）４を突設したジョイントブロック３とよりなり、受口２に他のブロック板のプラグ４を嵌合させ順次複数のブロック板１を連結することを可能とした構成となっている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来のブロックの一辺の側面に受口、他辺の側面に突部を設けた組立ブロックは、隣接する２個のブロックを横方向か、または直角にのみ連結できるが、その角度は固定的で変更はできない。
【０００５】
また、特開平６−３０４３４４で開示された組立てブロックは、２枚のブロック板１はジョイントブロック３を介さなければ連結できないし、また、２枚のブロック板１を直角または他の角度をもって連結するためには、ジョイントブロック３の少なくとも２つのプラグを、上記所望の角度に設けたものを用意しなければならない。また、その角度は固定的で変更できない。予め上記所望の角度を選択できるように、ジョイントブロック３の四面に所望の角度に対応する４つのプラグ４を設けた場合には、そのうち２つのプラグ４で２つのブロック板１を連結するが、残りの２つのプラグ４が突出していることになり見苦しい。そのため、結局所望の角度に対応する複数の種類のジョイントブロック３を数多く用意する必要がある。
【０００６】
この発明は、ジョイントブロックを必要とせず、ブロックを所望の角度に連結することのできる組立ブロックを提供することを目的とする。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
円、楕円、多角形、または不規則な形状のプレートの周囲の１または複数の側面に平面視コの字状に切り欠いた湾入部を設けて前記側面に湾入側面を形成し、前記湾入部の開口に沿い、かつ、湾入部の奥の壁面と間隔を置いて棒体を取付けた受口を有し、前記プレートの周囲の１または複数の他の側面、または、側面の角に、前記受口と同様の受口に挿入できる形状の突部であって、その先端面に前記受口の棒体と同様の棒体を押し込み嵌入できる形状の溝を形成してなるプラグを設けてプレート状の組立ブロックを構成し、

【００１１】
長方形のプレートの短辺の先端面の全長にわたり、溝を設けて、該短辺の先端部をプラグとし、前記プレートの長辺の１または２辺の側面に、平面視コの字状に切り欠いて湾入側面を形成してなる、前記プラグと同形のプラグの先端部を挿入しうる湾入部を設け、該湾入部の開口に沿い、かつ、湾入部の奥の壁面と間隔を置いて前記プラグと同形のプラグの溝に押し込み嵌入できる棒体を取付けた受口を設けてプレート状の組立ブロックを構成し、
この組立ブロックのプラグを、この組立ブロックと同形の他の組立ブロック、または、この組立ブロックの受口と同形の受口を有する他の組立ブロックの受口に挿入し、この組立ブロックのプラグの溝に前記他の組立ブロックの受口の棒体を押し込み嵌入させるか、または、この組立ブロックの受け口に、この組立ブロックと同形の他の組立ブロック、または、この組立ブロックのプラグと同形のプラグをを有する他の組立ブロックのプラグを挿入し、受口の棒体をプラグの溝に押し込み嵌入させて、２つの組立ブロックを連結させ、前記いずれかの棒体を軸として２つの組立ブロックを所望の角度に連結することを可能とする。
【００１２】
受口の棒体には、表面に長手方向に多数の凸条を設け、プラグの溝に、前期棒体の凸条に対応する線状の凹部を設けるのが好ましい。
【００１４】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明の実施の形態を図面により説明する。
この発明に係る組み立てブロックのブロックは、プレート状または立体形状であって、プラスチック、金属、木、ゴム等よりなるが、幼児用の組立ブロックでは軟質のプラスチックやゴムで形成するのが好ましい。
【００１５】
先ず、図１乃至図６に示す組立ブロック５は三角形状のプレートＰ ₁ に受口６とプラグ８を設けたものである。
この組立ブロック５では、三角形状のプレートＰ₁の各側面に、平面視コの字状に切り欠き湾入部を設けて湾入側面を形成し、湾入部の開口を横ぎり、湾入部の奥の壁面と間隔を置いて連結用の棒体７を設けて連結用の受口６とする。
【００１６】
棒体７は、断面形状は円形、楕円形、多角形の何れでもよく、また、表面に多数の小突部を設けるか、または、長手方向に多数の凸条を設けて断面形状を歯車形状にするのが好ましい。
【００１７】
組立ブロック５の周囲の側面の角（以下単に角と言う）に、他のブロックの受口６の湾入部に嵌合できる形状の連結用の突部を設け、その突部には、先端面に他のブロックの受口６の棒体７を嵌入しうる溝９を設けて、プラグ８を形成する。
【００１８】
図中１０は孔である。孔の形状は三角に限定するものでなく、円、楕円、多角形または不規則な形状のいずれの形状でもよい。また、孔１０は設けなくてもよい。
【００１９】
組立ブロック５においては、連結用のプラグ８を各側面角に設けたが、組立ブロック５の１または２辺の側面に受口６を設け、残りの辺の側面に連結用のプラグ８を設けてもよい。
受口６およびプラグ８は、全ての辺の側面または角に設けてもよく、また、一部の辺の側面または角に設けてもよい。
【００２０】
この組立ブロック５の連結は次のとおりに行う。
すなわち、一方の組立ブロック５の受口６に他方の組立ブロック５のプラグ８を対向させ、かつ、前記一方の組立ブロック５の棒体７に前記他方の組立ブロックのプラグ８の溝９を対向させ、そのプラグ８を前記受口６に押し込むと、２つの組立ブロック５は図５に示すように連結する。
【００２１】
上記連結した２つの組立ブロック５は、溝９に嵌合している棒体７を軸として図６に示すように回動できるので、２つの組立ブロック５を平面連結または約１８０度内の所望の角度に連結できる。
なお、図３に示すように、受口６の湾入部の奥の縁および／またはプラグ８の先端縁の角を削って傾斜面とするか、アールを設ければ、組立ブロック５を１８０度以上回動できて、２つの組立ブロック５を鋭角または鈍角に連結することができる。
【００２２】
溝９の相対向する２つの面に、図３に示すように、相対向して、プラグ８の先端縁に平行に溝９ａを設けるのが好ましい。溝９ａは、溝９に他の組立ブロックの受口の棒体７を押し込む際に、溝の両壁間を棒体７が少々押し広げ、棒体７が溝９ａに達すると棒体７が溝９ａ、９ａ間に嵌まり、２つの組立ブロックの連結を強固にする。
棒体７を、長手方向に多数の凸条を設けて断面形状を歯車形状にした場合には、溝９ａに前記凸条に対応する線状凹部を設ければ、棒体を軸として連結した２つの組立ブロックの角度調整を容易にし、かつ、その角度を安定させることができる。
【００２３】
図７に示す組立ブロック１１は、平面長方形のプレートＰ₂の一辺の側面を切り欠いた湾入部を設けて湾入側面を形成し、その開口を横ぎって、かつ、湾入部の奥の壁面と平行に連結用の棒体７を設けて受口６を形成し、プレートＰ₂の他の辺の側面に、他の組立ブロックの受口６の湾入部に嵌合しうる形の突部で、先端面に他の組立ブロックの受口６の棒体７を嵌入しうる溝９を設けた連結用のプラグ８を形成したものである。
プラグ８は、ブロック５と同様に長方形の角に設けてもよい。
【００２４】
この組立ブロック１１の受口６とプラグ８の大きさは、組立ブロック５の受口６とプラグ８の大きさと同じくし、組立ブロック１１と組立ブロック５のそれぞれの棒体の太さ、それぞれの溝９の大きさも同じくするのが好ましい。
【００２５】
組立ブロック１１と他の組立ブロック１１またはブロック５との連結は、先に説明の２枚の組立ブロック５の連結の場合と同じであって、１つの組立ブロック１１のプラグ８または受口６を、他の組立ブロック１１または組立ブロック５の受口６またはプラグ８に対向させ、かつ、プラグ８の溝９を他の組立ブロックの受口６の棒体７に対向させ、前記プラグ８を前記受口６に押し込み嵌合させることにより、前記棒体７を前記溝９に嵌入させる。
棒体７を軸としていずれかの組立ブロックを回動させて２つの組立ブロックを所望の角度にする。
【００２６】
図８に示す組立ブロック１１ａは、長方形で、短辺が受口６の幅と同じ幅のプレートＰ₃の、長辺の１または２辺の側面に平面視コの字状の切り欠き湾入部を設けて湾入側面を形成し、その開口に棒体７を設けて受口６を形成し、短辺の先端面の全長にわたり他の組立ブロックの受口６の棒体７を嵌入しうる溝９を設けて、短辺の縁部そのものを他の組立ブロックの受口６に嵌入しうるプラグとしたものである。
【００２７】
この組立ブロック１１ａと他の組立ブロック（他の組立ブロック１１ａを含む）との連結は、他の組立ブロックの受口６にこの組立ブロック１１ａの短辺の縁部（プラグ）を押し込み、溝９に棒体を嵌入させる。
いずれか一方の組立ブロックを棒体７を軸として回動させ、２つの組立ブロックを所望の角度とする。
図９は、組立ブロック１１ａと組立ブロック５の連結状態および回動状態を示すものである。
【００２８】
図１０に示す組立ブロック１２は、平面円形のプレートＰ₄の円周側面に連結用の受口６と、他の組立ブロックの受口６に嵌入できる連結用のプラグ突部８を設けたものである。
受口６には前記他の組立ブロックの受口と同様に連結用の棒体７と、プラグ８には他の組立ブロックの突部と同様に先端壁面に他の組立ブロックの棒体７を嵌入しうる溝９とを設けている。
組立ブロック１２には中心に孔１３を設けてもよい。
孔１３は円形に限らない。またその数は限定せず、複数であってもよい。
【００２９】
組立ブロック１２の、他の組立ブロック１２または組立ブロック５、組立ブロック１１、１１ａとの連結は、先の実施の形態の組立ブロックの連結の場合と同様であって、組立ブロック１２の受口６へ他方の組立ブロックの連結用プラグ８を嵌入させるか、または組立ブロック１２のプラグ８を他方の組立ブロックの受口６に嵌入させることによって行う。２つの組立ブロックの連結角度は、連結部分の棒体７を軸として何れか一方の組立ブロックを所望の角度に回動させることにより決める。
【００３０】
図１１に示す組立ブロック１２ａは、円形プレートＰ₅の円周側面に湾入部を設けて湾入側面を形成し、その開口に棒体７を取付けて受口６を形成し、更に、円周側面の他の箇所に、２つの切り欠き１４を設け、２つの切り欠きの間の長さ（幅）を受口６の湾入部の幅とほぼ同じにし、２つの切り欠き１４、１４の間を他のブロックの受口６に嵌入できる形状の突部で、その先端面を平面とし、該先端面には、他の組立ブロックの受口６の棒体７を嵌入しうる溝９を形成してプラグ８としたものである。この場合プラグ８は円の径内にある。
図中の孔１３は設けても設けなくてもよい。孔１３を設ける場合には、その形状、数を限定しない。
【００３１】
組立ブロック１２ａと他の組立ブロック１２ａまたは他の形態の組立ブロックとの連結要領は、先の実施の形態のブロックについて説明した要領と同じである。
【００３２】
この発明は、プレート状のブロックに限らず、各種の形状の立体（球体を含む）のブロックにも実施出来る。
図１２に示す組立ブロック１５は四角の六面体の立体Ｓのブロックで形成したものである。
【００３３】
組立ブロック１５は、六面体のいずれかの面に穴を設け、該穴の開口に、それを横ぎって、穴の奥の面と間隔をおいて棒体１７を取付けて受口１６を形成し、さらに、他面には、他の組立ブロック１５の受口１６または他の組立ブロックの受口６に嵌合しうる突部であって、その先端面に、他の組立ブロック１５の受口１６または他の組立ブロックの受口６の棒体１７または棒体７を嵌入しうる溝１９を設けたプラグ１８を設ける。
【００３４】
組立ブロック１５を他の組立ブロック１５または他の形態の組立ブロックとの連結要領は、先の実施の形態の組立ブロックの連結要領と同様である。
すなわち、組立ブロック１５のプラグ１８を他の組立ブロック１５または他の形態の組立ブロックの受口に嵌入させ、棒体をプラグの溝１９または９に嵌入させて連結し、溝に嵌入している棒体を軸として回動させ、２つの組立ブロックの連結角度を調整する。この角度調整をし易くし、連結を強固にするために、棒体７と同様に棒体１７の表面に多数の小突起または凸条を設け、溝９の場合と同様に溝９ａと同様の溝１９ａを設け、溝１９ａに棒体の凸条に対応する線状の凹部（溝）を設けるのが好ましい。
【００３５】
また、その連結角度調整の可能範囲を大きくするために、棒体１７と平行の受口１６の穴の開口縁および突部の溝１９の先端内側縁の角を削り、傾斜面またはアールを設けるのが好ましい。
【００３６】
上記プレート状の組立ブロックの実施の形態を三角形、四角形および円形のプレートで説明したが、これらの形状に限定するものでもなく、各種の多角形や不規則な形状のプレートも実施できる。
上記立体形状のブロックの実施の形態を四角の六面体で説明したが、それに限定するものではなく、各種の規則的または不規則的な形態の立体物（球体を含む）のものも実施できる。
ブロックの厚み、大きさ等も限定しない。
連結用の受口およびプラグの大きさは限定しないが、複数の形状の組立ブロックにおいてはそれらの大きさを同じに統一するのが好ましい。
受口の湾入部または穴の開口幅が、プラグの突部の幅より大きくてもよい。
プレート状または立体形状の組立ブロックには、孔を設けても設けなくてもよい。孔を設ける場合にはその数は限定しない。
【００３７】
上記の実施例では、各組立ブロックに受口とプラグの双方を設けたが、受口だけを設けたブロックと、プラグだけを設けたブロックとで、組立ブロックを構成してもよい。
【００３８】
各ブロックは、切削、鋳造、成形等の方法や、複数のプレートの接着で形成してもよい。
プラスチックやゴムで形成する場合には、一体成形することができる。
【００３９】
いずれの形態のブロックにおいても、連結回動角度を大きくするために、受口の湾入部または穴の開口縁およびプラグの突部の溝の先端縁を削いで傾斜面またはアールを設けるのが好ましい。
【００４０】
【発明の効果】
