Abstract

FIELD: games, in particular, construction for development of mental abilities. SUBSTANCE: module has flat geometric figure defined by three parallelograms. Larger parallelogram, which is middle part of module, is joined with its smaller sides along embossed line to larger sides of two equally sized smaller parallelograms. Smaller parallelograms put together and joined with their free large sides define parallelogram congruent with largest parallelogram. Basic material for manufacture of module is thermoplastic film. Method involves releasing roll of basic thermoplastic material; stamping- cutting out blanks-tape lengths and simultaneously forming fold lines by embossment process, said fold lines defining regular geometric figures over the entire surface of blank; folding blanks along fold lines for obtaining of envelope and simultaneously joining folded free sides in mid portion of blank; cutting doubled blank and fusing by heating knife at an angle of 45 deg to longitudinal axis along cutting lines into equal strips for defining larger parallelogram and two equally sized smaller parallelograms congruent with said larger parallelogram, with detachment line extending in mid portion of module. EFFECT: increased wear-resistance and service life and increased module manufacturing efficiency. 3 cl, 10 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to developing games, in particular to a module for origami, which can be used to create various prefabricated structures or as a device for the development of various (decorative) design skills in creating art forms and models like Japanese origami.

 The most important component of spatial thinking is spatial imagination. His role in the creative activity of man in the field of science, technology, art is very great.

 Problems in the study and development of space are solved by effective modeling methods. One of the oldest branches in this area is Origami, which is the ancient folk art of Japan in folding paper figures.

 A known module for origami, containing a geometric figure formed by several parallelograms, made of plastic (US 4033068 A, 07/05/1977).

 The disadvantage of this module is its complexity, which can cause difficulties for novice players.

 There is also a known method of manufacturing paper modules that can be used for origami, including the dissolution of a roll of source material, drawing on it by punching fold lines (US 5947885 A, 09/07/1999).

 The disadvantage of this method is that it is applicable for the manufacture of modules directly from paper.

 The objective of the proposed technical solution is to create modules for developing imagination and ingenuity, logic and spatial thinking, imagination and intelligence of the game.

 The technical result achieved by the implementation of this invention is to increase the wear resistance and durability of modules for origami, as well as to increase the productivity of manufacturing modules for origami.

 The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the module for origami contains a planar geometric figure formed by three parallelograms, the largest of which is the middle one and joined along the embossing line with its smaller sides and the large sides of two equal smaller parallelograms, the combination of which when combined and joined by their free large sides is congruent to a larger parallelogram, and a film of thermoplastic material is used as the material for the module blank.

 Polypropylene film can be used as the material for the module blank.

The specified technical result is also achieved by the fact that the method of manufacturing modules for origami includes the dissolution of the roll of the original thermoplastic material on rectangular sheets, stamping-cutting from sheets of curly segments of ribbon blanks with simultaneous drawing on them by forcing fold lines that form correct geometric shapes along the entire plane of the module blank figures, longitudinal bending and folding into the envelope of the tape-blank with the simultaneous joining of the curved side free sides in the middle part of the tape-z cooking, and further a double-tape preform is cut at an angle of 45 ^o knife-heater to the longitudinal axis of the cut-spliced lines into equal strips to form large parallelogram and two equal small parallelograms congruent parallelogram with the parting line in the middle of the module.

 The present invention replenishes the arsenal of well-known educational games. With the help of simple modules for origami, you can very quickly assemble any spatial forms without any difficulties.

 The game allows you to create whole planar or volumetric compositions. At each stage, it is possible to get several ready-made models, origami figures. This is a kind of "transformer toys."

 The invention is illustrated by drawings, where figure 1 shows a General view of the module for origami; figure 2 is the same, rear view; figure 3 - diagram of flexible tape in a double strip; figure 4 - scheme of cutting a double strip; figure 5 - blank module; figure 6 - scan blanks of the module; 7 is a drawing of a module; in FIG. 8 - sheet for stamping-cutting; figure 9 - three tape blanks; figure 10 - tape blank with bending lines.

 The origami module is a combination of two equal small parallelograms 1 and 2, which is congruent to the main larger parallelogram 3. The bases of the larger parallelogram are 2a, and the height is a. The base of two equal small parallelograms and their height are equal to a (see Fig. 7).

 Each module contains a planar geometric figure formed by three parallelograms, the largest of which is the middle one and joined along the embossing line with its smaller sides and the larger sides of two equal smaller parallelograms. When folding and joining with free large sides, smaller parallelograms form a surface congruent to the surface of the larger parallelogram, and a film of thermoplastic material, such as polypropylene, is used as the material for the module blank.

A method of manufacturing modules for origami includes the dissolution of the roll of the original thermoplastic material on rectangular sheets. Then, stamping and punching are performed from sheets of curly segments of ribbon blanks with simultaneous drawing on them by forcing fold lines that form the correct geometric shapes along the entire plane of the module blank. Then, longitudinal bending and folding of the blank tape is carried out with simultaneous joining of the curved side free sides in the middle part of the blank strip, and then the double blank blank is cut with a heating knife at an angle of 45 ^o to the longitudinal axis with the table of contents along the cutting lines into equal bands with the formation of a large parallelogram and two equal small parallelograms congruent to a parallelogram with a connector line in the middle of the module.

 The proposed module design is used repeatedly to create many structural geometric models of various decorative shapes.

 To ensure the manufacture of the planned decorative figures, the modules are connected into linear or non-linear geometric shapes, a folding three-dimensional product is formed.

 For the manufacture of the module, any material can be used from which it is possible to form transparent or translucent plastic modules of various colors. Paper or thin cardboard can also be used to make low-cost modules.

 In its finished form, the module design is a parallelogram, in the center of which fold lines (folds) are plotted along the faces and diagonals of the inscribed square. Fold lines (folds) provide the module with the ability to take various positions. A cut can be made along the fold line, which serves as a pocket for connecting the modules.

 The kit for the game can include modules of various sizes and colors. They can be used to build a variety of forms. Playing with them, trying to unravel the device of one form or another, the child develops his spatial thinking and imagination.

 From modules without the help of scissors and glue, you can make a variety of volumetric element-modules, which, like bricks, become the material for the most bizarre designs. They can turn into stars, garlands, flowers, insects, birds and animals - incredibly expressive, to the full resemblance to real objects or to fabulous, mythological creatures - dragons, winged horses, monsters of the underwater kingdom.
