Le par llélé i ède rectangle est formé de deuϋ faces supérieure et inférieure opposées carr es égales reliées entre elles pat uat i c rectangles latéraux égaux, dont les cotés de la face t i i e constituent le grand côté et le 1D petit côté étant égal l distance entre les faces carrées; les demi parallélé ipèdes rectangles, constituant le prisme utilisé, sont formés en séparant le dit parallélépi ède, en deu;; parties identiques, suivant un plan passant par deux petit otés opposé .

T> The ρι i s obtained romfurtε five faces made up of two, equal faces, in flight from an isosceles right triangle, connected by two; equal lateral rectangles and by a transverse rectangle whose long side is constituted by 1 ypotliénusπ of triangles rettangles i xèles and the small 0 side is confused with small sides of triangles laté rau.
La figure.1 représente une vue perspective du prisme décrit ci -dessus.Figure.1 shows a perspective view of the prism described above.
I ot',ι|u(> le pi i Mur ι .t placé avec un rectangle latéral sur r} mie sul fate plane iir i ontal. avec le rettangle transversal face à soi, on appelle "A" le rectangle latéral posé sur le sur ace plane, "P" le deuxième rectangle latéral placé vei t i t l ement et p rpendi ul irement à "A", "C" le triangle Ti sal, " " le triangle rectangle isocèle pl c à (J gauche de "C" et "F" le triangle rettangle isocèle placé a droite de "C".I ot ', ι | u (> the pi i Wall ι .t placed with a lateral rectangle on r } mie su l fate plane iir i ontal. with the transverse rettangle facing you, we call "A" the lateral rectangle placed on the flat ace, "P" the second lateral rectangle placed vei titlement and p rpendi ul irely to "A", "C" the triangle Ti sal, "" the isosceles right triangle pl c to (J left of "C" and "F" the isosceles rettangle triangle placed to the right of "C".
On nomme les arêtes du prisme par le groupement des lettres des faces a nt un tôté en commun: par exemple "CE" ou "EC " est l 'arête commune entre le triangle rectangle isocèle de 5 droite "E" et le rectangle transversal "C".The edges of the prism are called by the grouping of the letters of the faces has a common time: for example "CE" or "EC" is the common edge between the right isosceles right triangle 5 "E" and the transverse rectangle " VS".
Dans la veision préférée de l'invention comme dans la version existante, la longueur des arêtes AB , BC , CA est égale -i la mentit4 do la lungut u' tics arêtes DC , et EC . Le dispositif d'assemblage existant est formé de huit prismes identiques qu'on nomme pat les lettres allant dans l'ordre alphabétique de "F" à "M". Dans ces conditions l'arête CE ou EC du prisme H se désigne pat le groupe de lettres H-CE ou H-EC . Les prismes sont assemblés par des charnières souples reliant deux arêtes, de même longueut reliant df- faces égales deux â deu:.. Parmi les deux manière-, qu'il y a pour assembler deux arêtes de même longueur on utilise toujours celle qui permet superposer les faces identiques des deux prismes, exactement l'une sut l'autre, lorsqu'on les fait pivoter autour de la charnière. Le-. charnières sont désignées par les deux groupes de trois lettres qui désignent les deu arêtes de êm longueur reliées par la charnière comme par exemple (H-CE ) * (G-CD) . Cette façon de repérer les divers éléments de chaque prisme permet de décrire avec un maximum t précision l'assemblage actuel et l'assemblage objet du perfectionnement. L'assemblage des huit prismes existant est donc réalisé avec les charnières d'assemblage suivantes- ( F-CE )-»• ( G-CD ) (G-EA)-ft(H-DA) (H-CE)#(I-CD) ( I-EA) * ( J-DA) ( J--CE) * ( K-CD ) (K-EA)#(L-DA) (L-CE ) * (M-CD) <M-EA)*<F-DA) .In the preferred view of the invention as in the existing version, the length of the edges AB, BC, CA is equal -i mentit 4 do lungut u 'tics edges DC, and EC. The existing assembly device is formed of eight identical prisms which are called pat the letters going in alphabetical order from "F" to "M". Under these conditions the edge CE or EC of the prism H is designated by the group of letters H-CE or H-EC. The prisms are assembled by flexible hinges connecting two edges, of the same length connecting equal faces two to two: .. Among the two ways, that there is to assemble two edges of the same length we always use the one that allows superimpose the identical faces of the two prisms, exactly one on the other, when they are rotated around the hinge. The-. hinges are designated by the two groups of three letters which designate the two edges of the same length connected by the hinge such as (H-CE) * (G-CD). This way of identifying the various elements of each prism makes it possible to describe with maximum precision the current assembly and the assembly which is the object of improvement. The assembly of the eight existing prisms is therefore carried out with the following assembly hinges - (F-CE) - » • (G-CD) (G-EA) -ft (H-DA) (H-CE) # ( I-CD) (I-EA) * (J-DA) (J - CE) * (K-CD) (K-EA) # (L-DA) (L-CE) * (M-CD ) < M-EA ) * <F-DA).
La con iguration de base des huit prismes ainsi articulés est formée d'un parallélé ipède rectangle dont les deux plus grandes faces sont carrées et formées par une succession de faces D et E en forme de triangles rectangles isocèles des huit prismes, dont les faces latérales sont formées des faces A des prismes avec les arôtes CA formant les angles et les arêtes AB étant situées au milieu des faces latérales, les faces C étant appliquées l'une sur l'autre deux à deux et les faces B faisant de même. Seules deux configurations qui sont un grand prisme horno thét î que du prisme de base obtenu par le repliage suivant une diagonale d'une face carrée et un parallélépipède rectangle obtenu par repliage suivant une médiane de la face carrée sont des configurations simples à obtenir parce qu'elles ne mettent en jeu que des charnières alignée encore faut-il revenir chaque fois à la configuration de base pour aller de l'une à l'autre; les autres configurations ne peuvent être obtenue que par des manoeuvres complexes mettant en jeux simultanément des charnières situées dans des plans différents difficiles à obtenir si l'on n'est pas exercé et susceptibles de provoquer des déchirures si un est -.un-' né à forcer et comme pr édemment il faut revenir à la con i uration de base peur aller de l'une à l'autre. De plus cette confi ur tion de prismes ne pciiuet pas d'obtenir un cube si ce n'est une cavité instable pouvant pr ndre la forme du cube ou comme celle d'un parallél pipède quelconque en fon tion de l'an le qu'on donne à l'ouverture des charnières et ne présentant que peu d'intérêt. La constitution d'un tel ensemble dénote une préo upation pratique ou esthétique permettant de choisir une forme parmi les formes p oposées et de la garder telle quelle. L'objet du p rfectionnement est de proposer une configuration des charnièies reliant les huit prismes p éc demment décrits de manière à ce qu'on puisse obtenir une série de confi ur tions qui se déclinent les unes les autres par des pliages simples, introduisant un aspect ludique à la mani ula ion de ces prismes.The basic configuration of the eight prisms thus articulated is formed by a rectangular iped parallel whose two largest faces are square and formed by a succession of D and E faces in the form of isosceles right triangles of the eight prisms, whose lateral faces are formed faces A of the prisms with the edges CA forming the angles and the edges AB being situated in the middle of the lateral faces, the faces C being applied one on the other in pairs and the faces B doing the same. Only two configurations which are a large horno prism that of the basic prism obtained by folding along a diagonal of a square face and a rectangular parallelepiped obtained by folding along a median of the square face are configurations which are simple to obtain because 'they only involve hinges aligned yet it is necessary to return each time to the basic configuration to go from one to the other; the other configurations can only be obtained by complex maneuvers involving simultaneously hinges situated in different planes which are difficult to obtain if one is not exercised and likely to cause tears if -.un- is' born in force and as previously-pr must return to the basic con i uration afraid to go from one to the other. In addition this confi ur tion of prisms does not pciiuet to obtain a cube if it is not an unstable cavity which can pr ndre the shape of the cube or like that of any parallel piped in function of the year that the hinges are given at the opening and are of little interest. The constitution of such an assembly denotes a practical or aesthetic pre-upation making it possible to choose a form from among the opposing forms and to keep it as it is. The object of the improvement is to propose a configuration of the hinges connecting the eight prisms previously described so that a series of confi urations can be obtained which are declined one by another by simple folding, introducing a playful aspect to the handling of these prisms.
Les figures.2.1 à 2.8 montrent la succession de configurations qui peuvent être obtenues en reliant les prismes les uns au;; autres par des charnières disposées selon l'invention; les lignes de séparation entre les prismes contigus ne sont pas représenter pour privilégier la rep sentation de la confi uration obtenue. Les figures.3 et figure.4 représentent en vue perspective des prismes permettant de poser les charnières facilement.Figures.2.1 to 2.8 show the succession of configurations which can be obtained by connecting the prisms to each other; others by hinges arranged according to the invention; the dividing lines between the adjoining prisms are not shown to favor the representation of the confi uration obtained. Figures.3 and Figure.4 show a perspective view of prisms for easy installation of the hinges.
L'invention consiste à changer le po i ionnement des charnières entre les huit prismes en respectant exactement les mêmes règles d'assemblage que pré édemment que celles décrites pr cédemment, c'est à dire que les arêtes de deux prismes reliées par une charnière doivent être de même longueur et orientées l'une par rapport à l'autre de manière à ce que losqu'on place les faces des deux prismes l'une sur l'autre, les faces en constact doivent se recouvrir exactement. La position des charnières selon l'invention est la suivante: (F-CE) * (G-CD) (G-EB>* (H-DB > (H-CA) * ( I-CA) (I-EB)*(J-DB) (J-CE)*(K-CD) (K-EB > * (L-DD ) (L-CA)*(M-CA) (M-EB)*<F-DB) -The invention consists in changing the position of the hinges between the eight prisms while respecting exactly the same assembly rules as previously as those described above, that is to say that the edges of two prisms connected by a hinge must be of the same length and oriented with respect to each other so that when the faces of the two prisms are placed one on the other, the faces in constact must overlap exactly. The position of the hinges according to the invention is as follows: (F-CE) * ( G-CD ) ( G-EB> * ( H-DB> ( H-CA ) * ( I-CA ) (I-EB) * (J-DB) (J-CE) * (K-CD) ( K-EB> * ( L-DD ) ( L-CA ) * ( M-CA ) (M-EB) * <F-DB ) -
Cette disposition des charnières permet de décliner les unes après les autres par une manoeuvre simple comportant au ma imum deux dépl ιages~reρl îages successifs suivant des charnières alignées un total de huit configurations qui sont représentées par les figures 2.1 à 2.8; ceci n'empêche pas, pour des personnes entraînées, l'utilisation de dépliages complexes permettant d'accéder à partir d'une configuration directement à n'importe qu'elle autre con i uration.This arrangement of the hinges allows to decline one after the other by a simple maneuver comprising in my imum two displ ιages ~ reρl îages successive following hinges aligned a total of eight configurations which are shown in Figures 2.1 to 2.8; this does not prevent, for trained people, the use of complex unfolding allowing access from a configuration directly to any other con i uration.
Une manière de fabriquer con iste à placer, à l'aide d'un suppo t approprié, formé de deux dièdres en forme de "V" placés cote à côte, toutes les faces C côte à côte pour furmer un premier rectangle plan 1 figure.3 suivant deux rangées de quatre prismes, qui sont dans l'ordre M, F, G, H, d'une part et L, K, J, I, d'autre part, avec M en face de L et H en face de I,de manière à ce ue les arêtes CA soient sensiblement alignées entre elles suivant une médiane 3 du premier rectangle plan 1; on relie deux à deu;; les faces H-C et I-C par une charnière 5, M-C et L-C par une charnière 6 , suivant leurs côtés communs respectifs, puis les faces F-C et G-C par une charnière 7, J-C et K-C par une charnière 8, suivant leurs côtés communs respectifs. Enfin on place toutes les faces B côte à côte, dan -l'un des deux dièdres en forme de "V" pour former un deuxième rectangle plan 2 figure.4 suivant les deux rangées des quatre prismes, qui sont comme précédemment dans l'ordre M, F, G, H, d'une part et L, K, J, I, d'autre part, avec M en face de L et H en face de 1 de manière à ce que les arêtes AB soient sensiblement alignées entre elles suivant une médiane 4 du deuxième restangle plan 2; on lie deux à deux les faces G-B et H-B par une charnière 9, I-B et J-B par une charnière 10, suivant leurs côtés communs respectifs, puis les faces M-B et F-B par une charnière 11, L-B et K-B par une charnière 12, suivant leurs côtés communs respectifs. L'ensemble des huit charnières est ainsi réalisé par ces deux opérations. Les charnières peuvent être obtenues en recouvrant totalement ou partiell ment les faces concernées par un film souple autocollant. One way of manufacturing is to place, using an appropriate suppo t, formed of two dihedrons in the shape of a "V" placed side by side, all the sides C side by side to form a first planar rectangle 1 figure .3 along two rows of four prisms, which are in the order M, F, G, H, on the one hand and L, K, J, I, on the other hand, with M opposite L and H in face of I, so that the edges CA are substantially aligned with one another along a median 3 of the first plane rectangle 1; we connect two to two; the faces H-C and I-C by a hinge 5, M-C and L-C by a hinge 6, along their respective common sides, then the faces F-C and G-C by a hinge 7, J-C and K-C by a hinge 8, along their respective common sides. Finally we place all the sides B side by side, in one of the two "V" shaped dihedrons to form a second plane rectangle 2 figure.4 along the two rows of the four prisms, which are as before in the order M, F, G, H, on the one hand and L, K, J, I, on the other hand, with M opposite L and H opposite 1 so that the edges AB are substantially aligned between them along a median 4 of the second plane restangle 2; the GB and HB faces are linked two by two by a hinge 9, IB and JB by a hinge 10, along their respective common sides, then the MB and FB faces by a hinge 11, LB and KB by a hinge 12, according to their respective common sides. All eight hinges are thus produced by these two operations. The hinges can be obtained by completely or partially covering the faces concerned with a self-adhesive flexible film.
