Description

[Detailed description of the invention] assembly toys disclosure The object of the invention is an assembly toy.

They can be separated and attached to each other in different ways to form different types of toys. Construction toys made up of multiple elements that are to be assembled are It is being

The object of the invention is to accommodate various formats of scale with a minimum number of interchangeable assembly elements. The object of the present invention is to provide an assembly toy that allows the assembly of transportation means.

This purpose is to create a construction toy consisting of sets of interchangeable construction elements. a monolithic generally tubular main element with wheels and a number of pairs of supplementary elements; A removable connecting element connects multiple pairs of supplementary elements. Provided for the purpose of connecting to one end and the other end of the main element, respectively, and a multi-pair The two complementary elements have the shape of the head and rear part of the vehicle in scale, respectively; Multiple pairs of supplementary elements relate to different types of transport and different types of transport. , the main element forming a common central part of the means of transport constituted by said pairs This is achieved by an assembly toy characterized by:

For a better understanding of the features and advantages of the invention, an exemplary illustration is shown in the accompanying drawings. Some but non-limiting examples will now be described.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing elements of an assembly toy according to the present invention; Figure 2 shows a first translation of the scale achieved with the first combination of elements of Figure 1. 3 is a perspective view of the conveying means, FIG. 3 being achieved with a second combination of the elements of FIG. 1; FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the second means of transportation to a scale made in the art, FIG. 4 showing the elements of FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a third means of transportation to a scale achieved with a third combination of FIG. is a scaled version of Figure 2 showing the main elements of the construction toy of Figure 1 in the open position. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of one transportation means, and FIG. 6 shows the main elements of the assembly toy of FIG. FIG. FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the removable connection means of the construction toy of FIG. 1;

As you can see in Figure 6, the assembly toy shown in Figure 1 has a set of 10 elements lO. , a wall 12 with three through holes on one end and a wall with three pins 15 on the other end 14 (see Figures 1 and 6).

Furthermore, the toy of FIG. 1 is replaceably connected to said end of the main element 10. In detail, the number pairs of complementary elements that can be: Element 16A with the shape of a scale aircraft head and tail, respectively, and a corresponding Element 17A Element having the shape of the head and tail of a 1-scale train, respectively. head and tail of large motor vehicle in scale 16B and corresponding element 17B1 Equipped with an element 16C and a corresponding element 17C1 each having the shape of a part. It is growing.

Each element 26 has a rear closing wall 18 with three pins 19. Pi The holes 19 correspond to the three holes 13 in the wall 12 of the main element 10. There is. When the pin 19 is inserted into the hole 13, the walls 12.18 fit together.

Each element 17 has a front closing wall 20 with three through holes 21 .

Three pins 15 of the wall 14 of the main element 10 correspond to the three through holes 21. and enter. When the pin 15 is inserted into the through hole 21, the walls 14 and 20 align with each other. do.

Supplementary elements 16, 17, which are only partially visible in Figure 1. Said walls, pins and through-holes. In such drawings, these are supplementary elements marked with the letter A or B or C. The letter A, B or C may be added after each reference number depending on whether It is shown.

In figure 7 the connection between the pin 15.19 and the respective through hole 21.13 is detailed. is shown. As can be noted, the pins and through-holes are easy to insert one into the other. It is correspondingly tapered and flared. Additionally, each pin At the end, elastically so as to constitute a kind of elastic snap closure between the pin and the through hole It has an annular release or enlarged portion 22 that is slightly deflectable.

In construction toys such as those mentioned above, various types of scaled transport, precisely can be made interchangeable with aircraft, trains, large automobiles, etc.

In fact, by connecting the main element 10 and the supplementary elements 16A, 17A, Thus, the aircraft shown in FIG. 2 is obtained, consisting of the main element 10 and the supplementary elements 16B, 1. 7B, the train shown in Figure 3 is obtained, and the main element IO and complement By connecting leg elements 16C and 17C, the large vehicle shown in Fig. 4 can be obtained. It will be done.

The main part of the constructed means of transport is always formed by tubular elements with wheels 11. These can be obtained with a minimum number of elements. Element The TOO features substantially fit into the passenger cabins of the three means of transport shown here to scale. It is a common shape.

The main element 10 includes two opposed longitudinally outer IJ tabs 23. , the window of the passenger compartment constituted by the main element 10 is located in the outer strip 23. It is located along.

This main element 10 is also equipped with a motor so that it can be self-propelled. for this purpose , a motor drive 24 is installed inside the main element 10, and is driven by the - set of wheels 11. Dynamically coupled and powered by a battery 25 installed inside the main element 10 The power source is connected by an angularly displaceable lever 26 to change the speed of the motor. can be controlled. The lever 26 has its end mounted on the main element 10. protrudes out of the main element 10 through the slot 27 and thus the lever 26. Can be operated accurately from the outside. This motor drive of the main element 10 will not be described in detail since it can be easily carried out by those skilled in the art.

Main element 10 is shown in FIG. 5 for access to motor 24 and battery 25. So that the two half shells exactly support the motor 24 and battery 25, a lower half shell 10.1 attached to a wheel 11; 0.1 and an upper half-shell 10.2 which closes off. two ha Fushel 1O01 and 10.2 are within the capabilities of those skilled in the art with respect to motor drives. Because of the nature of the Assembled with equal equipment.

The main element 10 may also not be driven by a motor and may be provided with freely rotating wheels. It can also be formed in a simple manner as a single block. In this case, assembly Of course, an external force is required to keep the toy from moving along the support surface.

Other pairs of supplementary elements are provided, eight pairs of which, by connection with the main element 10, Shaped to form a particular means of transportation of a different shape or type from that shown. It will be done.

For pairs of complementary elements, a wide range of geometric deformations is generally possible. be. Additionally, the main element must retain a substantially tubular shape throughout. However, the details can be changed.

With a removable device for joining the main element and the supplementary element, the bin and through-holes, these are equivalent to those proposed in the industry. It is possible to replace it with a device.

As in the illustrated example, a bottle and its associated through-hole should be connected directly to the same It is of course possible to concatenate complementary elements of both pairs and different pairs.
