Description

 The invention relates to objects of cultural and domestic purposes, in particular decorative objects, folding products, toy sets, display stands, coasters, and can also be used as a puzzle toy.

 A known method of forming a three-dimensional body of a flexible tape, such as a tetrahedron, octahedron, etc.

 Disadvantages - weaving of a tape of large length, increased consumption of material.

 Known disk puzzle consisting of six plate elements forming the sides of the cube.

 The disadvantage is the complexity of volumetric elements.

 A known method of assembling an educational toy from rod elements connected to each other with the formation of the rod frame in the form of a polyhedron using hinged nodes.

 The disadvantage is the assembly of many rods and hinge assemblies, their adjustment.

 A device is known that contains flat plates with an eccentric hole or multiple holes on a rack with a base.

 The disadvantage is the constant volume of the forming elements in the working position and during storage.

 Of the closest analogues, a device for forming a three-dimensional body containing a set of rings is known. The volumetric body is formed by alternately installing one ring on another.

 The aim of the invention is to improve usability while expanding functionality.

 The method of forming a volumetric body is that the volumetric body is formed from a base with a guide stand and a set of rings made in the form of hollow hexagons of elastic sheet material with radial slots in the desired combination, during the assembly of each polyhedron hexagons are introduced into each other by elastic bending and rectification with the formation of a lattice body and of four flat hexagons, first donning onto the hollow hexagon with only external slots of the hollow hexagon with two inner with the other slots and the outer ones, then putting on the two hexagons and their outer slots of the hollow hexagon with the two outer slots and the remaining internal ones, then putting on the three hexagons and their outer hexagons with only the internal slots and install the assembled polyhedra on the rack with fixing or without him.

 A device for forming a three-dimensional body contains a base with a guide stand having a square section, and a set of four rings with six slots made in depth equal to half the width of the ring, and in width not less than the thickness of the ring with the possibility of installing another ring in it, the rings of the set are elastic, i.e. six slots are made on the outer and / or inner sides, namely: either only six outer slots, or only six inner slots, or two inner and four outer slots, or four inner and two outer slots. The side of the square section of the rack is not greater than the distance between the slots on the set rings.

 In FIG. 1 shows a volumetric body device; in FIG. 2 - the same, top view; in FIG. 3 - a hollow hexagon with slots on the outside; in FIG. 4 - a hollow hexagon with two slots inside, four outside; in FIG. 5 - a hollow hexagon with two slots on the outside and four inside; in FIG. 6 - a hollow hexagon with slots inside.

 The method of forming a volumetric body is that the volumetric body is formed from the base 1 with a guide rack 2 and a set of rings for the formation of polyhedra 3.

 The set of rings is made in the form of hollow hexagons 4 of elastic sheet material with radial slots 5 in the desired combination. When assembling each polyhedron 3, hexagons 4 are introduced into each other by elastic bending and straightening with the formation of a lattice of four flat hexagons, first putting on the hollow hexagon 6 with the outer slots of the hollow hexagon 7 with two internal slots and the other outer ones, then donning these two hexagons 6 and 7 and their outer slots of the hollow hexagon 8 with two outer slots and the rest internal, after which putting on three hexagons 6-8 and their outer slots w Hexagon 9 with only internal slots. Then install the assembled polyhedrons: 3 on the rack 2 with or without fastening.

 A device for forming a three-dimensional body contains a base 1 with a guide rack 2 having a square section, and a set of rings for forming a polyhedron 3, while the side of the square section of the rack 3 is no more than the distance between the slots made on the rings.

 The rings of the set are made in the form of hollow hexagons 4 of elastic sheet material, which in the assembled state enter four radial slots 5 into each other, located on one hollow hexagon 6 at the corners from the outside in the amount of six slots, on the other hexagon 7 - two inside and four outside the corners of the polygon, on the third hexagon 8 - two outside and four inside the corners of the hexagon, on the fourth hexagon 9 - at the corners of the hexagon inside in the amount of six slots. Moreover, each slot 5 is made half the width of the plot of its location and with the possibility of entering the oncoming part. The components of the device are made with the possibility of fixing or without it in the assembled and disassembled state. The base 1, the rack 2 and the polyhedra 3 can be made of various materials, such as metal, plastic, wood, paper, cardboard, etc., and of various colors - transparent and opaque. Fastening in the cavity of the base 1 of the flat plates can be carried out using a lid, a magnet, fasteners in the form of protrusions, recesses, etc. The base 1 can be hollow, and the guide rack 2 can be removable or monolithic (at the same time as the base 1).

 Work with the device of the volumetric body is as follows.

 A device is assembled from the base 1, rack 2, and several lattice polyhedra 3, each of which is composed of four elastic hollow hexagons 4 by input into the slots 5. The assembled elastic volumetric body is installed on the base 1 and used as a toy - a pyramid, a decorative body, etc. d. from various materials in whole or in part. With partial disassembly of the volumetric body, its parts can be used separately.

 During transportation and storage, the volumetric body is disassembled by disconnecting the volumetric parts and removing the hollow hexagons 6-9 from each other, which are stacked on top of each other in the cavity of the base 1, while the removable stand 2 is also removed.

 Using the proposed method and device for forming a three-dimensional body allows to reduce weight and increase the rigidity of a quick-detachable three-dimensional body of sheet material, transport at a small volume and store, expand operational qualities due to the execution of various materials in whole and in parts and by obtaining a set of separate objects together or individually.
