Description

A mechanical construction and a method for assembling and/or disassembling such a mechanical construction The invention relates to a mechanical construction connecting a first part of the construction with a second part of the construction, wherein the first part of the construction is provided with a receptacle which is dimensioned for receiving the second part of the construction, and which receptacle has a sidewall or sidewalls.
Such a mechanical construction is widely known.
It is an object of the invention to provide such a mechanical construction which may be easily and repeatedly assembled and disassembled.
It is another object of the invention to provide such a mechanical construction which invisibly locks the first part to the second part of the construction.
It is still another object of the invention to provide such a mechanical construction which can be assembled and disassembled in a fool safe manner.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide such a mechanical construction which is not sensitive to wear and tear.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide such a mechanical construction which can be quickly implemented.
These and other objects of the invention as well as further advantages that may become apparent from the following disclosure, are provided with a mechanical construction as specified in the appended claims. Moreover the invention is also embodied in a method of assembling and/or disassembling the mechanical construction of the invention, as will be explained hereinafter.
In a first aspect of the invention the sidewall or sidewalls of the first part of the construction is provided with at least one recess, and the second part of the construction is provided with at least one aperture, wherein each recess in the side wall or sidewalls of the first part of the construction is aligned with one of the apertures in the second part of the construction, and that at least one
- 2 = combination of an aligned recess and aperture holds a ball to prevent displacement of the first part of the construction and the second part of the construction with respect to each other. The ball that is placed in the aligned recess and aperture can be completely invisible from the outside of the construction, yet provides a simple way to connect the first part to the second part of the construction.
Preferably the second part of the construction comprises a channel through which the ball is movable, and which channel provides access to the aperture and recess. This arrangement enables that the ball cannot only moved into the cooperating recess and aperture for connecting the first part and the second part of the construction, but also enables that the ball can be moved out of this cooperating recess and aperture for disconnecting the first part and the second part from each other.
A preferred arrangement is that the first part of the construction is a bottom part and the second part of the construction is mounted on top of said bottom part, wherein the channel is essentially vertical so as to arrange that, in the absence of a hindrance, gravity causes the ball to move into or to be maintained in the aligned recess and aperture. Assembling the construction then only requires the release of the ball, i.e. the removal of the hindrance that prevents the ball to move into the aligned recess and aperture. The hindrance needs not to be present, but a possible hindrance is for instance a magnetic field that can be applied to prevent the ball from moving down the channel. On the other hand this also provides the opportunity of easy disassembling the construction by applying a temporary or permanent magnet to attract the ball and move it against the force of gravity away from its position in a recess in the first portion of the construction that is aligned and cooperates with an aperture in the second portion of the construction.
In a particular embodiment the second part of the construction is a shaft with an open top end. As already mentioned there needs not be any hindrance that prevents the ball from moving down the shaft towards the cooperating recess and aperture in the first and second portion of the
- 3 = construction. The open end then makes assembling very easy by inputting a ball via the open top end into the shaft which ball can then travel to the aligned recess and aperture.
In another embodiment the second part of the construction is a shaft with a closed top end. The ball can then be already present in the shaft of the second part of the construction, wherein its movements in the shaft are dictated by external forces, preferably magnetic field lines and gravity. In this connection a preferred embodiment of the mechanical construction of the invention is that the ball is magnetizable. In particular it is preferred that the ball is of ferromagnetic material.
With the ball being attractable by magnetic field lines it is preferred that the first part of the construction and the second part of the construction are permeable for such magnetic field lines so as to enable that such magnetic field lines from a temporary or permanent magnet are capable to act on the ball. Usually the magnet is external of the mechanical construction. When the magnet is switchable it can however also be made a part of the mechanical construction, by implementing it in the wall of the shaft the second part of the construction.
Although it is possible that already a single ball may suffice to provide a mechanical connection between a first part and a second part of the construction, it is preferred that plural balls are applied, and that the second part has a central elevation and extending from said central elevation downwardly sloping guide faces for directing the respective balls to plural sets of aligned recesses and apertures. In this way each combination of a recess and an aperture can receive a single individual ball.
Suitably the sets of aligned recesses and apertures, and correspondingly the downwardly sloping guide faces to said sets of aligned recesses and apertures are regularly distributed in an arrangement covering a 360° area.
In order to promote a reliable assembly of the mechanical construction of the invention it is preferred that the vertical channel in the second part of the construction widens as seen in the direction of the first part of the
- 4 - construction. The respective balls can then easily find their way to the respective aligned recesses and apertures.
Further it is remarked that although the second part of the construction may be assembled from multiple pieces, it is preferred that the second part of the construction is a unitary single piece.
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated with reference to the drawing of an exemplary embodiment of a mechanical connection according to the invention that is not limiting as to the appended claims.
In the drawing: -figure 1, 2 and 3 show a first part, a second part, and an assembly of the first and second part of the construction according to the invention in a sectional side view and top view respectively; -figure 4 shows an assembly sequence A-D of the mechanical construction according to the invention; -figure 5 shows a disassembly sequence A-C of the mechanical construction according to the invention; and -figures 6 and 7 provide an overview of two alternative embodiments of the mechanical construction according to the invention.
Whenever in the figures the same reference numerals are applied, these numerals refer to the same parts.
Turning first to figure 3, this figure shows a mechanical construction 1 according to the invention connecting a first part 2 of the construction 1 which is separately shown in figure 1, with a second part 3 of the construction 1 which is separately shown in figure 2. Figure 6 shows an overview of this mechanical construction according to the invention, whereas figure 7 shows an alternative embodiment.
With particular refence to figure 1, the first part 2 of the construction is provided with a receptacle 4 which is dimensioned for receiving the second part 3 of the construction. It is clearly shown that the receptacle 4 has a sidewall or sidewalls 5. Said sidewall or sidewalls 5 of the first part 2 of the construction 1 is provided with at least one recess 6, however in the shown embodiment there are three
— 5 = regularly distributed recesses 6. The second part 3 of the construction 1 is correspondingly provided with at least one aperture 7, i.e. in the shown embodiment there are three regularly distributed apertures 7. It is clear from the figures that the recess(es) 6 in the side wall or sidewalls 5 of the first part 2 of the construction 1 is/are aligned with the aperture(s) 7 in the second part 3 of the construction 1. Each combination of the aligned recess(es}) 6 and aperture (s) is intended to hold a ball 8 to prevent mutual displacement of the first part 2 of the construction 1 with reference to the second part 3 of the construction 1. In the figures 1-3 the balls 8 are shown before they have occupied their position in the respectively aligned recesses 6 and apertures 7.
With further reference to the figures 2 and 3, it is clearly shown that the second part 3 of the construction 1 comprises a channel 9 through which the ball or balls 8 are movable, which channel 9 provides access to the aperture(s) 7 and recess(es) 6.
It will be clear from the figures that preferably the first part 2 of the construction 1 is a bottom part and that the second part 3 of the construction 1 is mounted on top of said bottom part, wherein the channel 9 is essentially vertical so as to arrange that in the absence of a hindrance, gravity causes the ball or balls 8 to move into or to be maintained in the aligned recess(es) 6 and aperture(s} 7.
Providing the balls 8 into the channel 9 can be easily achieved by arranging that the second part 3 of the construction 1 is a shaft with an open top end that gives access to the channel 9 and is capable to receive the balls. In another embodiment as is shown in the drawing the second part 3 of the construction 1 is however a shaft with a closed top end 10.
Other notable features of the mechanical construction 1 according to the invention are: — that the ball or balls 8 are magnetizable, — that the ball or balls 8 are of ferro-magnetic material, and — that the first part 2 of the construction and the second
- 6 — part 3 of the construction are permeable for magnetic field lines so as to enable that such magnetic field lines from a temporary or permanent magnet are capable to act on the ball or balls 8.
With reference again to figure 2 and figure 3, it is shown that the second part 3 has a central elevation 11 and extending from said central elevation 11 downwardly sloping guide faces 12 for directing the respective balls 8 to the respective sets of aligned recesses © and apertures 7.
Suitably the sets of aligned recesses 6 and apertures 7, and correspondingly the downwardly sloping guide faces 12 to said sets of aligned recesses 6 and apertures 7 are regularly distributed in an arrangement covering a 360° area. This means that with three recesses 6 and three apertures 7, between each of the recesses and apertures there is an angle of 120°. It is further shown that the vertical channel 9 in the second part 3 of the construction 1 widens as seen in the direction of the first part 2 of the construction 1. Preferably the second part 3 of the construction is a unitary single piece.
Making reference to figure 4, an example of assembling the mechanical construction of the invention is shown. Figure 4A shows the second part 3 of the construction, with an external magnet 13 to attract the balls 8 towards an upper portion of the second part 3. A previously applied cap 15 which was used to close off the apertures 7 at the bottom of the second part 3 can then be removed as is shown in figure 4A.
Figure 4B shows a subsequent step wherein a first part 2 or bottom part is positioned below the second part 3, and in figure 4C it is shown that the second part 3 is placed snugly fitting into the receptacle 4 of the first part 2. When arrived at the situation shown in figure 4C, the magnet 13 can be removed or switched off, so that the balls 8 are released to move towards and into the respective combinations of aligned recesses 6 and apertures 7, as guided by the downwardly sloping guide faces 12 that extend from the central elevation 11 in the second part 3 of the construction.
Figure 5 depicts the method for disassembling the mechanical construction according to the invention, wherein
- 7 = figure 5A correspond to figure 4D. For disassembly figure 4B shows that first a magnet 13 is brought into the vicinity of the second part 3 of the construction so as to attract the balls 8 and move the balls 8 against the force of gravity away from their positions as occupied in the respective cooperating recesses 6 in the first portion 2 and apertures 7 in the second portion 3 of the construction. Once the balls 8 are thus removed, it is possible to separate the first part 2 from the second part 3 of the construction, as shown in figure 5C. By thereafter replacing the cap 15 (shown in fig. 4A), the balls 8 can be prevented from escaping the second part 3, and the magnet 13 can then be shut off or removed. Although the invention has been discussed in the foregoing with reference to an exemplary embodiment of the mechanical construction of the invention, the invention is not restricted to this particular embodiment which can be varied in many ways without departing from the invention. The discussed exemplary embodiment shall therefore not be used to construe the appended claims strictly in accordance therewith. On the contrary the embodiment is merely intended to explain the wording of the appended claims without intent to limit the claims to this exemplary embodiment. The scope of protection of the invention shall therefore be construed in accordance with the appended claims only, wherein a possible ambiguity in the wording of the claims shall be resolved using this exemplary embodiment.
