Definitions

  • Elements of multiple unit size are also provided, some of which have mutually interlocking edges.
  • Sockets may be provided on faces opposite the pins to mate with the pin groups.
  • systems of mutually interfitting elements for producing essentially flat pictures (mosaics) or three-dimensional structures (construction sets).
  • the systems of the mosaic type comprise elements provided with one or more tangs that can be forced into as many apertures in a base plate;
  • the systems of the construction type comprise elements provided with reliefs that can be forced into recesses or among other reliefs of the elements to be connected.
  • This invention proposes elements capable of ensuring satisfactory results using relatively rigid construction elements; this is achieved by shaping the connection members and arranging them on the element in such a way that the reduced, yet' non-existent elastic deformability of these materials is exploited in the best possible manner for the technical purpose of the manufacture of stable and, at the same time, easily made and unmade connections.
  • connections perpendicular to the plane of the elements are ensured through the insertion of groups of four regularly spaced pins within a cavity, so that the exact degree of the forcing can essen tially be guaranteed by the flexibility of the pins, although with the employment of relatively rigid material.
  • the unit modular element is in the shape of a square which has its side equal in length to the unit modular length, and, in its normal form, presents also a total thickness equal to that unit length, so that it proves inscribable in a cube having the side equal to unit length; such unit modular elements are grouped side by side in appropriately arranged pluralities to form the actual elements of the system.
  • one of said arrangements provides the obtainment of fretwork contours which, besides the aforesaid connections, make possible the connection through coupling of the fretwork edges of adjoining elements.
  • mosaic elements i.e., finish elements, applicable to the exposed surfaces of the structures obtained with the construction elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in vertical section axial sections, invention
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show unit lar purposes
  • FIG. 4 shows the coupling between complemental connection members of three elements, in section on the line IV-IV of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 5 shows how the elements may be connected through the insertion of homologous connection members
  • FIG. 6 shows, in side elevational view, a construction element consisting of the combination of a certain number of unit elements according to FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 7 shows the connection between edges of fretwork-shaped elements
  • FIG. 8 shows four types of plate structural elements, interconnected through the edges
  • FIG. 9 shows a fifth plate type structural element, seen from the surface opposite to the one corresponding to FIG. 8;
  • FIG. 10 shows the corner connection of plate type elements according to FIGS. 8 and 9;
  • FIG. 11 shows some basic shapes of the structural or mosaic elements comprised in the system
  • FIG. 12 shows mosaic elements having dimensions that are submultiples of the unit modular length, and which may be used in the system according to the invention
  • FIG. 13 shows the mosaic ornamentation of a structure comprising corners according to FIG. 10;
  • FIG. 14 shows special mosaic elements for the ornamentation of such corner surfaces
  • FIG. 15 shows a variant of the element of FIG. 1.
  • the unit modular element of the system according to the invention has, in plan view, the shape of a square (FIG. 1) and the side a of the square represents the unit modular length of the system.
  • said unit modular length may be 6 mm., but it should be understood that this is merely an example, and does not limit the choice of the unit modular length within the scope of the invention.
  • the unit element consists of a body 1 exhibiting on its face, which we will assume to be the upper one, a cylindrical cavity 2 with diameter D and depth b. From the opposite lower face of the body 1 projects a plurality of pins 3 (preferably 4 in number) centered on said face and regularly spaced, having the diameter d and a length that may, e.g., correspond to the depth b of the cavity 2.
  • each pin 3 may present at the base an individual bossage 24 (FIG. 15)
  • the cavity 2 may have a shape other than cylindrical, provided it is functionally equivalent.
  • the pins 3 are arranged so that, if two elements are fitted into each other as shown in FIG. 1, the pins 3 of one element penetrate into the cavity 2 of the other element, slightly forcing against its wall: since the inside space between the pins 3 remains free, these may slightly deflect elastically, assuring a correct connection in the presence of a reasonable accuracy of the dimensions of the pieces. To the end that this connection may take place in the required manner, it is necessary that, between the diameter D of the cavity 2, the diameter d of the pins 3 and the distance between diametrally opposite pins, the relation:
  • connection according to FIG. 5 may be made, in which a pair of pins of an element is inserted in an intermediate position between two pairs of pins of the other element, perpendicular to the first pair.
  • This guarantees two more possible mutual connection positions, referred to the unit elements.
  • connection between superposed elements with the respective pins face to face may take place in all the positions that differ by distances, according to the main axes of the elements, equal to whole multiples of /3 of the unit modular length a.
  • this possibility of small displacements enables the obtainment of very detailed pictures also in the presence of a module having relatively large dimensions, and therefore of generally handy elements.
  • the unit elements of FIG. 1, provided with a cavity 2 are essentially structural in character: the elements destined to be used on surfaces, especially for the finish or ornamentation of a surface, will instead be without a cavity 2 inside their body 1, which will be massive.
  • the surface seen may be smooth, granulated, embossed or otherwise treated, and have an appropriate colour or group of colours, so as to imitate, e.g., brick, various building stones, plaster work or other materials such as fabrics, leather, wood etc.: the system will preferably comprise different types of mosaic elements, which enable the obtainment of the desired pictures or ornamentations.
  • the relative elements will be dimensioned according to FIG. 3, i.e., the pins 3 will have a length equal to 2b: the inactive radical half of these pins may possibly be combined with the bossage 4 to form a pedestal.
  • the thickness of the mosaic as a half unit modular length (a/2): in this case the applicable dimensioning will be the one of FIG. 2.
  • What has been modified here is the bossage 4, whose thickness has been reduced to the constructionally permissible minimum, and this thickness has been included in the height, equal to a half unit modular length, of the body 1 of the element.
  • some elements In order to afford the possibility of connection of elements along the edges, some elements, generally in the shape of plates 7, 8, will have a fretwork type contour (FIG. 7) with onemodule pitch.
  • the connection along the edges takes place by the insertion, from the relief portions of the fretwork of an element, into the corresponding recesses of the fretwork of the adjoining element, as known per se.
  • the total thickness of the elements, including the connection means being equal to one unit length
  • the connection along the fretwork edges may be ensured, besides on the plane, also according to a right corner (FIG. 10) without the connecting members interfering, because a unit element (inscribable in a cube) occupies exactly one cavity of the fretwork: by an appropriate arrangement of the elements, it is possible to obtain a rectilinear and continuous corner.
  • FIG. 11 shows some basic types of elements obtained in this manner, it being, however, understood that an infinite number of other combinations is obtainable.
  • Part of the modular elements may be incomplete, as in the case of the elements illustrated in FIG. 11 and comprising arched or inclined boundary surfaces.
  • a characteristic of the modular system according to the invention consists in that the structural constructions obtained may be covered with a finish or decorative mosaic.
  • the covering of corners obtained according to FIG. 10 with modular mosaic elements, there would result a discontinuity in the corner.
  • mosaic elements 20 whose length is equal to a whole number of unit lengths plus a half unit length (equal to the relief of the mosaic on the supporting surface when the mosaic elements are dimensioned according to FIG. 2). It is thus possible to obtain perfectly covered corners.
  • FIG. 14 The elements having this special dimensioning are illustrated in FIG. 14 along with some modular elements but with fewer connecting pins, in order to permit their regular superposition on those portions of a corner which, comprised by a plate which ends in a free edge, are without the cavity 2.
  • the mosaic elements may obviously be completed by figurative elements, i.e. by elements reproducing on their exposed face figures such as letters, numbers, signs or images of objects like windows, doors etc.; or they may reproduce materially the form of such figures or signs.
  • system according to the invention may be embodied essentially in three forms: as a plain mosaic, i.e., comprising base plates which are possibly composable and mosaic elements; as a plain construction, i.e., comprising all the structural construction elements to the exclusion of mosaic type decorative elements; or as a construction-mosaic, i.e., comprising the structural elements for a construction and the mosaic elements for its decoration: these various forms being always capable of being completed for attaining the third and more comprehensive form.
  • a mosaic obtained with elements according to the invention may also be Without the supporting plate or be bifrontal, i.e., the mosaic elements of a face may be directly fitted, pins against pins, into the elements that make up the mosaic of the other face, thereby supporting each other.
  • the system according to the invention may be used for games or artistic or didactic purposes, or even for commercial or industrial purposes, in drawing up tables and graphs.
