Description

The utility model relates to the field of production of toys, in particular, relates to the construction of a children's building kit - a constructor used by a child for the early development of thinking and motor skills when assembling animal, insects, fish, sports cars, construction equipment, military equipment from separate typical elements connected to each other. etc.

A known constructor containing a set of forming elements made with the possibility of connection with each other by means of connecting elements (US 2968118, publ. 06/17/1961).

Also known is a connecting element comprising at least two pairs of reeds located with a gap between each other, two of which are made elastic (RU No. 2228782, publ. 05.20.2004).

A disadvantage of the known technical solution is that when assembling objects with right angles, it is impossible to obtain cantilever elements with a fixed angle, for example, 90 °, as well as the impossibility of obtaining an assembled flat surface of objects without partially protruding connection elements.

A known gaming system comprising game blocks made with connecting elements on the edges, wherein the game blocks are divided into two groups, in the first of which game blocks are each made in the form of a regular triangular or square prism at the base for forming planar structures in the game system, and in the second group, game blocks are each made in the form of a regular square-shaped prism at the base with elements of connection with blocks of the first group (United States Design Patent USD624605, 21-01, publ. 09/28/2010). This decision was made as a prototype for all declared facilities.

In this game system, in each game block of the first group, the connecting elements are made in the form of jumpers on the side of each face, and in each game block of the second group the connecting elements are made in the form of two semicircular parallel planes in plan view, on the sides of which are facing towards each other, recesses are made to place the jumpers of the game block of the first group when entering its connecting element between the tongues.

The disadvantage of this solution is the lack of operational reliability of the connecting elements. This is due to the fact that on the blocks forming flat surfaces in the created object, the cross-sections in the round shape are made along the faces and are themselves part of these faces. And in the blocks providing the connection of the blocks forming flat surfaces, the connecting element is made in the form of two elastic plates rigidly embedded in the body of the block — cantilever fixing. Since all blocks are made of polymer material by molding, these plates have a certain elasticity, that is, they can elastically bend. The distance between the plates is less than the thickness (diameter) of the jumper. And when the jumper is introduced into the gap between the plates, then the plates are moved apart. A jumper is fixed in the recesses on the plates, which are made in the zone of embedding the plates in the body of the block. Thus, in the embedment zone, the plates have thinning, that is, their thickness in this place is less than the thickness in other areas of their surface. With this design and upon reaching a certain number of introductions of jumpers between the plates in the polymer, fatigue deformation occurs, leading to the destruction of the embedment zone, as a result of which the plate breaks off from the block body. If the plastics strengthen, the jumpers begin to break. If both plates and jumpers are strengthened, then in order to introduce jumpers between the plates and fix them in thinning, it is necessary to apply considerable finger force to the jumpers, which does not correspond to children's efforts. In this case, the child loses interest in the game and in the designer.

This utility model is aimed at achieving a technical result consisting in increasing the reliability and durability of the gaming system by changing the design of the connecting elements of the blocks of the designer while maintaining the ability to connect the blocks with a little effort that the child’s fingers are capable of.

The specified technical result is achieved in that in a gaming system containing game blocks made with connecting elements on the edges, while the game blocks are divided into two groups, in the first of which game blocks are each made in the form of a regular triangular or square prism in the base for the formation of planar structures in the game system, and in the second group, game blocks are each made in the form of a regular square prism at the base with connection elements with blocks of the first group, in each Groove block of the first group, the connecting elements are made in the form of thinning a prism from the side of each face with the formation of a semicircular jumper in plan view, on each side of which a parallel protrusion is made on each side and at a distance from it, and in each game block of the second group the connecting elements are made in two parallel each other located in a semicircular shape in terms of flat reeds, on the sides of which, facing each other, recesses are made to accommodate the protrusions of the game block of the first group during one of its connecting element between the reeds, while the length of the regular prism of each game block of the second group is equal to the length of the face of the regular prism of each game block of the first group.

These features are significant and are interconnected with the formation of a stable set of essential features sufficient to obtain the desired technical result.

This useful model is illustrated by specific examples of execution, which, however, are not the only possible ones, but clearly demonstrate the possibility of achieving the desired technical result.

According to this utility model, we consider the construction of a building kit for children — a constructor used by a child for the early development of thinking and motor skills when assembling castles, cathedrals, fortresses, and other architectural and fortification game structures, cars, helicopters, tanks, and other objects from separate typical interconnected elements. imitating actual or existing samples.

The gaming system contains game blocks that are made with connecting elements on the edges, ensuring the attachment of one game block to another with the fixation of the connected blocks and the exclusion of their separation without the application of external force. In this gaming system, game blocks are divided into two groups.

In the first group, game blocks are each made in the form of a flattened regular prism of a triangular (Fig. 1-3) or square (Fig. 4-7) shape at the base. These blocks are used to form surfaces of planar structures in the created object. In each game block of the first group, the connecting elements are made in the form of thinning a prism from the side of each face with the formation of a semicircular in terms of a jumper, on each side of which a protrusion is made in parallel and at a distance from it.

In the second group, game blocks are each made in the form of a flattened regular square prism at the base (for example, Figs. 8-10) with elements of connection with blocks of the first group. In each game block of the second group, the connecting elements are made in the form of two parallel semicircular shapes in plan of flat reeds, on the sides of which are facing each other, recesses are made to accommodate the protrusions of the game block of the first group when entering its connecting element between the reeds. Blocks of the second group are intended for linking blocks of the first group and forming angles, slopes, etc. in the created object.

To maintain structural subordination, the length of the correct prism of each game block of the second group is equal to the length of the face of the correct prism of each game block of the first group. Also, all blocks are made of the same thickness. This allows you to create smooth surfaces.

In a gaming system, the mutual fixation of game blocks is as follows. To connect two game blocks of the first group to each other (Figs. 1-3 or Figs. 4-7), it is necessary to use one game block from the second group, for example, the game block of Fig. 8, which will be used to form a right angle in the connection node of the game blocks of the first group. To connect, it is necessary to direct the game block of the first group with a face with a protrusion between the flat tongues of the block in Fig. 8. The protrusion pushes the elastic tabs and recesses until it enters the recesses on the tabs. At the moment the protrusion enters the recesses, the tongues are closed and in order to separate the two connected blocks, it is necessary to apply some force that will allow the elastic force of the reeds to be overcome so that the protrusion comes out of the recess. Then, a second game block is taken from the first group and its protrusion is introduced in a similar manner into the gap between the other tongues of the game block of the second group until the protrusion is fixed in the recesses of these tongues. A general view of such compounds is shown in FIGS. 34 and 35.

Improving the operational reliability of the gaming system is provided by the design of the connecting elements. On the blocks of the first group, forming flat surfaces in the created object, the jumper in the form of thinning the body of the block, that is, reducing its height, is made in the form of a membrane or membrane or plate. It is on this plate that protrusions are made on both sides of it. Such protrusions practically do not break and retain their function for a long time.

And in the blocks providing the connection of the blocks forming flat surfaces, the connecting element is made in the form of two elastic plates rigidly embedded in the body of the block — cantilever fixing. Since all blocks are made of polymer material by molding, these plates have a certain elasticity, that is, they can elastically bend. The distance between the plates is less than the thickness (diameter) of the protrusions in place with the plate on which these protrusions are placed. At the same time, both the protrusions and the recesses are made not on the face, but at a distance from it.

And when the protrusions are introduced into the gap between the plates of the reeds, the plates are moved apart and the protrusions are fixed in the recesses on the plates of the reeds, which are made in the area of embedding the plates in the body of the block. Thus, in the sealing zone, the reed plates do not have thinning. With this design, the process of fatigue deformation, leading to the destruction of the embedment zone in the polymer occurs through a very large number of cycles, which suggests a high operational durability of such a connecting element. Changing the location of the recesses made it possible to reduce the effort of introducing the protrusions and at the same time provide a rigid fixation of the blocks. The latter is ensured by the fact that the membrane or membrane or plate on which the protrusions are placed is a body that fills the gap between the plates of the tongues, which eliminates the appearance of play in the connection. This allows you to save non-deformable shape of the created product.

Game blocks of the first group are shown in figures 1-7. These blocks are made by molding or injection molding of a polymer material.

The first game block from this group is made in the form of a flattened regular prism 1 with an equilateral triangle at the base and has a face 2 (figure 1) and a back 3 (figure 3) surface. The front surface is flat and the back is textured, which allows you to use one or another surface to give the created object an appropriate external finish. But the main thing with respect to the back side of the block is that on this side there are protrusions that perform the function of stiffeners, which ensure the preservation of the shape of the block and increase resistance to bending. The connecting elements 4 are made on the side of each face (end wall). Each such element is made in the form of a thinning prism with the formation of a semicircular in terms of a jumper 5 in the form of a plate, on each side of which a semicircular protrusion 6 is made in parallel and at a distance from the face.

The second game block from this group is made in the form of a flattened regular prism 7 with a square in the base and has a front 8 (figure 4) and a back 9 (figure 6) surface. The front surface is flat and the back is textured with stiffeners, as in the first game block of this group. The connecting elements 4 are made on the side of each face (end wall). Each such element 4 is made in the form of a thinning prism with the formation of a semicircular in terms of a jumper in the form of a plate, on each side of which a protrusion of a semicircular shape is made in parallel and at a distance from the face. The implementation of the connecting elements is the same as in the previously considered example. In Fig.6, the ribs on the back are shown at 10.

Game blocks of the second group are shown in FIGS. 8-10 and 14-25. In this group, each game block has a body in the form of a regular prism with a square or trapezoid in the base, to which elements of connection with the blocks of the first group are attached (attached). These game blocks are also performed by injection molding from a polymer material, which allows the body to be made with connection elements in a single casting process and as a single part. In the game block, the height of the prism is greater than the side of the square at the base or the side of the trapezoid at the base.

The first game connecting block (Figs. 8-10) from the second group is made in the form of a regular square prism 11 at the base with a length equal to the length of the face of the game block of the first group. On two adjacent lateral sides of this game block there are elements of connection with the blocks of the first group. These elements are located at right angles to each other and perpendicular to the surface of the side walls to which these elements are attached. The connecting elements are made in the form of two parallel semicircular shaped in plan planar tongues 12 or plates, on the sides of which, facing each other, recesses 13 are made to accommodate the protrusions of the game block of the first group. The distance between the plates or tongues is equal to or greater than the thickness of the membrane or plate with protrusions in the game block of the first group. The tabs are mounted on the body of the game block cantilever and therefore have elasticity, that is, they can be elastically deflected. The shape of the semicircle is chosen in order to increase the convenience of introducing protrusions between the languages, in which the tabs, abutting against the arcuate walls that limit thinning on the game block of the first group, spontaneously fit into the field of the semicircular jumper of the game block of the first group. This game block allows you to connect game blocks from the first group at right angles.

The second game connecting block (11-13) belongs to the first group and is made in the form of a regular prism 14 with a rectangle or square at the base with a length equal to the length of the face of the game block of the first group. On two opposite sides of this game block, there are elements of connection with the blocks of the first group. These elements are located at an angle of 180 ° to each other. The connecting elements are made in the same way as in the first example of Fig. 8. This game block allows you to connect game blocks from the first group in one common plane when forming flat surfaces of the created object.

The third game connecting block (Figs. 14-16) from the second group repeats the design of the second game block, but in it the body is a regular prism 15 with a trapezium at the base. In this game block, on two opposite lateral sides (not on the trapezoid bases) of this game block, connection elements are located that are located at right angles to the surface of the side wall and at an obtuse angle to each other. These connecting elements allows you to connect the game blocks from the first group in planes that are located relative to each other at an obtuse angle.

The fourth game connecting block (FIGS. 17-19) from the second group repeats the design of the first game block from this group, but a third connecting element is introduced therein. In this game block, elements of connection with the blocks of the first group are placed on three sides. These elements are located at right angles to each other and perpendicular to the surface of the side walls to which these elements are attached. The connecting elements are made in the same way as in the first example of Fig. 8. This game block allows you to connect three game blocks from the first group at right angles.

The fifth game connecting block (FIGS. 20-22) from the second group repeats the design of the second game block from the same group, but one connecting element is inserted therein located not at right angles to the surface of the side wall, and the tongues of the other connecting element are located on the opposite side in the plane of the adjacent side wall. The body of this block is made in cross section in the form of a trapezoid.

The sixth game connecting block (Fig.23-25) from the second group repeats the design of the fourth game block (Fig.17) from the same group, but the axis 16 is attached to the side wall, which in the fifth embodiment was free and had no connecting element, on the free end 17 of which an annular collar 18 is made 18. The axis along its longitudinal axis has a section 19. Thus, parts of the axis with the collar can elastically shift towards each other. This axis is used to accommodate the wheels 20 shown in FIGS. 29-31. The wheel has a central hole 21. To fit the wheel on the axle, it is necessary to compress the ends of the axle with the shoulders, push the end of the axle through the hole in the wheel and release the axle. The parts of the axle having the shoulders will straighten and press against the wall of the hole in the wheel. The bead does not allow the wheel to shift from the axis.

Another embodiment of the wheel 22 is shown in FIGS. 32 and 33. In this hollow wheel, the running part of the wheel circumference is made in the form of protrusions 23. This wheel has protruding hollow axles 24, into which the axle 16 is inserted, by analogy with the previously considered example relating to to the wheel of FIGS. 29-31.

On Fig.26-28 presents a variant of the development of the game block of Fig.25. But in this block flat tongues are made on all sides of the axis 16, which allows this element to be used for corner joints and with the possibility of attaching wheels 20 or wheels 22 to it. These blocks can also be fastened together, on the basis of mom-dad, on one at the end of this game block there is a split 25 along the axis 16 of the pin 25 with a collar 26, and on the other cylindrical hollow end 27 made in the wall of the slot 28 for the output of the collars 25.
