Definitions
- the invention relates to an articulated module composed of two support elements connected to each other by an articulation link allowing a relative pivoting movement of approximation and spacing of the two elements.
- a module can be used in the field of toys and games.
- the object of the invention is to provide an articulated module allowing the production of objects of variable configurations depending on the number of modules assembled.
- the device according to the invention is characterized in that the support elements are symmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the pivot axis of the articulation link, and each have a polyhedron profile, comprising:
- the first assembly means comprises an orifice for the introduction of a first junction piece.
- the second assembly means comprises a groove for the reception of a second junction piece.
- the grooves open out on the square base.
- the articulation connection is fine and flexible, and comes directly from molding with the plastic module.
- the articulation link comprises a hinge constituted by a part attached to the two support elements; the two support elements of the articulated module have transverse faces in the form of isosceles right triangles, the apex angle of which is straight, and the adjacent sides of which form an angle of 45 ° with the hypotenuse.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the module according to the invention, the articulated support elements being shown in a maximum open position.
- Figures 2 and 3 show the module in abutment on one of its faces, respectively after pivoting in the direction of the arrows F1 and F2 in Figure 1.
- Figures 4, 5, 6 are perspective views of several assembled modules by joining elements in different pre-assembly positions.
- Figure 7 is a plan view of the square face of several modules and several junction elements shown in a pre-assembly position.
- Figures 8 and 9 show two embodiments of modules each shown in elevation, plan and profile.
- Figures 10, 1 1, 12 are plan views of possible non-limiting assemblies of the modules.
- Figures 13,14, 15 show plan views of three possibilities of module articulation.
- Figures 16 to 18 are views similar to Figures 1 to 3 of a variant of articulated module comprising support elements with transverse faces in the form of isosceles right triangles;
- Figures 19 and 20 are views similar to Figures 8 and 9 of two modules with angles of 45 °;
- Figure 24 is a similar view of Figure 7 with modules according to Figure 17;
- Figure 25 represents the assembly of two modules of Figures 16 and 17.
- an articulated module 10 is composed of two support elements 12, 14 connected to each other by an articulation link 16 allowing a relative pivoting movement along the common edge of the two elements 12, 14.
- the pivoting direction F1 the two lateral faces 12a, 14a adjacent to the elements 12, 14 come into contact with each other to obtain the configuration of FIG. 2.
- the opposite pivoting direction F2 the other opposite lateral faces 12b, 14b come into contact with each other to get the configuration of figure 3.
- the support elements 12, 14 of the articulated module 10 are symmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the pivot axis of the articulation link 16. They have a polyhedron shape.
- Each support element 12, 14 comprises two two support elements 12, 14 connected to each other by an articulation link 1 6 12c, 12d; 14c, 14d joining the side faces 12a, 1 4a; 1 2b, 14b corresponding to constitute the polyhedron.
- the base 12e, 14e of the support elements 12, 14 is parallel to the pivot axis, and has a square section provided with a first assembly means formed by an orifice 18 for the introduction of a first piece of junction 20 (shown in Figure 4).
- Each of the lateral and transverse faces of the support elements 12, 14 is equipped with a second assembly means comprising a groove 22 intended to receive a second junction piece 24 in the form of a stud.
- the four grooves 22 of the lateral and transverse faces of the support elements 12, 1 4 open onto the corresponding square base 12e, 14e.
- the assembly of several identical articulated modules 10 allows the production of objects of variable configurations thanks to the use of junction pieces 20, 24.
- junction pieces 24 allow the modules 10 to be assembled at the lateral or transverse faces of the support elements 12, 14.
- two identical modules 10 according to FIG. 3 can be connected at their respective bases 12e, 14e by two connecting pieces 20.
- the edges of the bases 12e, 14e joined together are thus aligned.
- modules 10 can be connected at their lateral or transverse faces on a central module 10 by means of four junction pieces 24 arranged crosswise in the grooves 22.
- FIG. 8 represents views in elevation, in plan and in profile of an embodiment of a module 100, in which one of the transverse faces is orthogonal to the square base 12e, 14e, while the other face transverse of each element 12, 14 is oblique.
- the two transverse faces of each articulated element of the module 200 are parallel to each other, and orthogonal to the square base 12e, 14e.
- Figures 10 to 12 show various geometric assemblies of several modules for the production of specific objects, given as examples.
- the support elements 12, 14 of a module 10 are produced by means of a molded plastic material, and the fine and flexible articulation link 16 in the middle part comes directly from molding.
- the hinge 226 is constituted by a cylindrical axis secured along the common edge of the prisms.
- the two support elements 12, 14 of the module 30 with articulation link 16 comprise transverse faces in the form of isosceles right triangles, whose angle at the top is straight, and whose adjacent sides form an angle of 45 ° with the hypotenuse.
- a right angle is formed at the hinge 16 when the lateral faces come into contact with each other in each of the positions of FIG. 17 or 18.
- the module is equipped with assembly means 31 integral with or adaptable to the support elements 12, 14, and housed in the grooves 22. This system allows the assembly of square faces 12e, 14e therebetween, but also (see FIG. 25) the assembly of these same faces with the other lateral faces of an identical module, regardless of the angle between the faces 12, 12b, and 14, 14b thereof.
- the module 30 can thus be assembled with another module 30 without the addition of junction elements.
- Figures 19 and 20 are views similar to Figures 8 and 9 of two modules 300, 400 with angles of 45 °.
- FIGS. 21 to 23 show various examples of possible configurations making use of the module 30 of FIGS. 16 to 18.
- four modules 30 can be connected at their lateral or transverse faces on a central module 30 by means of four junction pieces 24 arranged crosswise in the grooves 22.
- the modules described above can be used in the field of toys and games, in hardware or computer forms.
