Depth of recesses is equal to half the ring width and width is at least equal to ring thickness. The first ring has all six recesses made on its outer side, the second ring has recesses made on the inner side, the third ring has two recesses made on the inner side and four recesses made on the outer side, the fourth ring has two recesses made on the outer side and four recesses made on the inner side. Guiding pole has section shaped as equilateral triangle, with side of triangle not exceeding between recesses. EFFECT: wider operational capabilities and enhanced reliability in operation. 3 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to cultural objects, in particular to decorative objects, folding products, toy sets, display stands, coasters, and can also be used as toys and puzzles.

 A known method of forming a three-dimensional body of a flexible tape: 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.

 Disadvantages - the assembly of many rods and hinge assemblies, their adjustment.

 A device is known comprising 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 the expansion of functionality.

 This is achieved by the fact that the device for forming a three-dimensional body contains a base with a guide rack having an equilateral triangle in cross section, and a set of four rings with six slots made with a depth equal to half the width of the ring and a width not less than the thickness of the ring, with the possibility installation of another ring in it, its counterpart, while the set rings are elastic, i.e. made of elastic material, and on each ring of the set six slots are made from 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 rack cross-section triangle 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 set of four rings with slots.

 A device for forming a three-dimensional body contains a base 1 with a guide rack 2 having an equilateral triangle in cross section, and a set of rings for forming lattice spheres 3, while the side of the cross section triangle is no more than the distance between the slots made on the rings. The rings of the set are made in the form of rings 4 of elastic sheet material and in the assembled state enter four radial slots 5 into each other, located on one ring 9 evenly around the circumference inside in the amount of six slots, on the other ring 7 from the outside uniformly around the circumference in the amount of six slots, on the third ring 8 uniformly in circumference and diametrically two outside and four inside, on the fourth ring 6 uniformly in circumference and diametrically alternating two outside, two outside and inside, two inside and sleep snakes. In this case, each slot 5 is made half the width of the ring and with the possibility of entering the oncoming part, and the component parts of the device with or without fastening in the assembled and disassembled state.

 The base 1 can be made hollow, and the guide rack 2 is removable or monolithic (in one piece with the base 1). The base 1, the rack 2 and the lattice spheres 3 can be made of various materials, such as metal, plastic, wood, paper, cardboard, etc., and of various colors - transparent and opaque. The 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 and recesses, etc.

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

 The device is assembled from the base 1, rack 2 and several lattice spheres 3, each of which is composed of four rings 4 by entering into the slots 5. The assembled volumetric body is mounted on the base 1 and used as a pyramid toy, decorative body, etc. 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 bulk body is disassembled by disconnecting the bulk parts and removing the rings 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.

 The use of a device for forming a three-dimensional body allows one 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 performance of various materials in whole or in part and by obtaining a set of separate objects together or separately .
