ACTIVITE INVENTIVEINVENTIVE ACTIVITY

L'invention compte sur l'idée de l'incorporation d'un noyau sphérique à structure creuse, divisé en deux parties d'ajustage rainé et languetté et ayant des moyens de centrage, qui s'unissent entre elles par et au moyen de moyens de fixation à tête perdue ou occulte dans la partie interne de la structure en comprenant les six logements - orthogonalement et symétriquement répartis- pour les pièces de guidage; des moyens pour l'accès audits moyens de fixation et des moyens pour la localisation de l'octant qui fait fonction de pivot.The invention relies on the idea of incorporating a spherical core with hollow structure, divided into two grooved and tabbed fitting parts and having centering means, which join together by and by means fixation with a lost or hidden head in the internal part of the structure comprising the six housings - orthogonally and symmetrically distributed for guide pieces; means for access to said means of fixation and means for locating the octant which acts as a pivot.

L'invention compte aussi sur l'idée de l'incorporation d'une pièce de guidage, qui en ayant le même format général de structure, a des moyens directs d'ancrage et d'assujettissement qui tout en déterminant la fixation en position de la pièce n'empêchent pas une certaine mobilité verticale de celle-ci pour ne pas obstruer le déplacement des pièces mobiles et de support.The invention also relies on the idea of incorporating a piece of guidance, which having the same general format of structure, has means direct anchoring and securing which while determining the fixing in position of the workpiece does not prevent a certain vertical mobility thereof so as not to obstruct the movement of the moving and support parts.

L'invention compte aussi sur l'idée des sept pièces mobiles précitées et commentées dans l'idée antérieure et qui ont, par l'impératif proportionnel, l'équivalent à un octant de sphère, constitués alors par un secteur triangulaire-sphérique dimensionné avec les mesures nécessaires pour circuler sur le noyau sphérique en évitant les tiges des pièces de guidage logées dans les six logements mentionnés. C'est une pièce évidée par le plan supérieur de façon que le membre central pour l'entretoisement des pièces de recouvrement, ne dépasse pas le plan définissant la face extérieure (convexe) de la pièce, tandis que ses côtés (ou cathètes) ont des moyens pour s'enclencher relativement dans les positions marquées par la pièce pivot immobile ou non déplaçable.The invention also relies on the idea of the aforementioned seven moving parts and commented on in the previous idea and which, by the proportional imperative, equivalent to an octant of sphere, then constituted by a triangular-spherical sector sized with the measures necessary to circulate on the spherical core avoiding the rods of the guide parts housed in the six accommodation mentioned. It is a part hollowed out by the upper plan so that the central member for the bracing of the covering parts, does not not exceed the plane defining the external (convex) face of the part, while that its sides (or catheters) have means to engage relatively in the positions marked by the stationary or non-movable pivot part.

L'invention compte aussi sur l'idée que la pièce-pivot immobile a un format analogue aux antérieures avec une proportion identique. Elle est aussi intégrée par un corps évidé par le plan supérieur, mais le membre central de l'assemblage pour la pièce de recouvrement, dépasse légèrement le plan définissant la face extérieure (convexe) de celle-ci. Et, intérieurement, elle a des moyens radiaux symétriques qui, en coïncidence avec des autres du noyau sphérique forme les logements pour trois membres de l'enclenchement élastique (rétractables).The invention also relies on the idea that the stationary pivot piece has a format analogous to the previous ones with an identical proportion. It is also integrated by a body hollowed out by the upper plane, but the central member of the assembly for the cover piece, slightly exceeds the plane defining the outer (convex) face thereof. And, internally, it has symmetrical radial means which, coincident with another of the nucleus spherical forms the housings for three members of the engagement elastic (retractable).

Une autre idée de l'invention est que la pièce immobile précitée, dans une autre version, compte sur le membre central de l'assemblage de moyens complémentaires pour monter un porte clefs ou tout autre objet, pendentif, ornement ou similaire, qui implique que la pièce de recouvrement, associée à celui-ci, soit configurée en accord aux caractéristiques desdits moyens.Another idea of the invention is that the above-mentioned immobile part, in a other version, count on the central member of the assembly of means complementary to mount a key ring or any other object, pendant, ornament or similar, which implies that the covering piece, associated with it is configured in accordance with the characteristics of said means.

Par rapport audites particularités, nous ferons l'exposition détaillée des caractéristiques de l'invention qui est réalisée fondamentalement en matières plastiques d'ABS non toxique et les moyens de fixation en matières métalliques inoxydables non corrosives.In relation to these particularities, we will make a detailed exposition of characteristics of the invention which is basically carried out in materials non-toxic ABS plastics and fasteners made of metallic materials non corrosive stainless.

DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

L'organe ou noyau sphérique est un corps semi-creux divisé en deux parties ajustables par assemblage rainé et languetté où, tout en coïncidant avec les bords d'ajustement et/ou avec l'axe de symétrie, il est pourvu d un petit encastrement à baïonnette pour le centrage des deux parties.The spherical organ or nucleus is a semi-hollow body divided into two adjustable parts by tongue and groove assembly where, while coinciding with the adjustment edges and / or with the axis of symmetry, it is provided with a small bayonet fitting for centering the two parts.

Une de ces parties comprend la structure avec les parties femelles pour la fixation (vissage, pression ou tout autre) des moyens de fixation qui servent d'union aux deux parties des sphères où, celle en regard, a deux trous diamétralement opposés, avec la bouche noyée et oblique par où passe la tête du moyen de fixation perdu par-dessous la sphère.One of these parts includes the structure with the female parts for the fixing (screwing, pressure or any other) of the fixing means which serve joining the two parts of the spheres where the one opposite has two holes diametrically opposite, with the mouth submerged and oblique where the head passes of the fixing means lost below the sphere.

Egalement l'autre partie semi-sphérique - l'opposée à celle qui a les trous pour les moyens de fixation-, dans un quadrant de celle-ci, présente à l'extérieur trois logements concaves, oblongues et tronqués à une extrémité, qui sont distribués radialement et équidistant les uns aux autres. Ils forment les sièges pour les billes et les ressorts des organes rétractables d'enclenchement incorporés dans la pièces- l'octant immobile.Also the other semi-spherical part - the opposite to the one with the holes for the fixing means, in a quadrant thereof, present at the exterior three concave, oblong and truncated housing at one end, which are distributed radially and equidistant from each other. They form the seats for balls and springs of retractable members interlocking incorporated in the parts - the stationary octant.

Les six logements pour les pièces de guidage, sont des ajours rentrants à bouche carrée et aux bords biseautés qui, à l'intérieur, sont délimités par quatre parois parallèles qui pénètrent moins de la moitié du rayon intérieur de la sphère.The six housings for the guide parts are re-entrant openings at square mouth and bevelled edges which, inside, are delimited by four parallel walls that penetrate less than half the interior radius of the sphere.

Les bords internes de ces parois sont les points d'ancrage pour les pièces de guidage. The internal edges of these walls are the anchor points for the parts guide.

Les six ajours sont équidistants les uns des autres et orthogonalement distribués, quatre coïncidant avec la ligne d'union des deux parties de la sphère - la moitié de chaque côté - et les deux autres aux pôles de chacune.The six openings are equidistant from each other and orthogonally distributed, four coinciding with the line of union of the two parts of the sphere - half on each side - and the other two at the poles of each.

Les quatre premiers sont délimités par quatre parois séparées entre elles. Trois sont contenues dans des semi-sphères qui ont les points de bridage et des autres sont contenues dans la semi-sphère contraire et les deux seconds sont délimités par quatre parois unies ou des trous tubulaires carrés.The first four are delimited by four walls separated from each other. Three are contained in semi-spheres which have the points of clamping and others are contained in the opposite semi-sphere and the second two are delimited by four plain walls or square tubular holes.

Les pièces de guidage qui sont montées dans lesdits six ajours, ont le format connu en "T" de l'Etat de la Technique. La tête est de forme carrée, courbée en arc en parallélisme à la sphère; avec les bords doublement biseautés et les coins arrondis.The guide parts which are mounted in said six openings, have the known format in "T" of the State of the Art. The head is square, curved in an arc parallel to the sphere; with double edges bevelled and rounded corners.

Lesdits plans courbés en arc ont aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur le degré de courbe coïncidant respectivement avec le plan sphérique que décrivent les huit pièces mobiles et fixes et les huit pièces de recouvrement ou enveloppantes.Said arcuate planes have both inside and outside the degree of curve respectively coinciding with the spherical plane that describe the eight moving and stationary parts and the eight covering parts or wraparound.

Le soutien est une tige prismatique qui est coupée à l'extrémité inférieure par une ouverture angulaire à mode de pince, pour que les pointes, à l'extérieur et latéralement, aient des épaulements à mode de griffes d'enclenchement.The support is a prismatic rod which is cut at the lower end by an angular opening in clamp mode, so that the tips, outside and laterally, have shoulders in the mode of interlocking claws.

L'aménagement des trous et leur composition interne et la symétrie des pièces guides, permettent que la tige de fixation soit montée sans la nécessité d'une position précise d'entrée.The arrangement of the holes and their internal composition and the symmetry of the guide pieces, allow the fixing rod to be mounted without the need of a precise entry position.

Tel que nous en avons fait référence dans L'Activité Inventive, les sept pièces mobiles ayant les dimensions d'un octant de sphère, sont des pièces triangle-sphériques, évidées par le plan extérieur convexe en définissant un cylindre central, qui ne dépasse pas le plan superficiel et qui, intérieurement, a trois rainures verticales pour l'assemblage à baïonnette des pièces de recouvrement ou enveloppantes respectives.As we mentioned in The Inventive Activity, the seven moving parts having the dimensions of an octant of a sphere, are parts triangle-spherical, hollowed out by the external convex plane by defining a central cylinder, which does not exceed the surface plane and which, internally, has three vertical grooves for the bayonet connection of the parts respective overlap or enveloping.

Les bords supérieurs des côtés de ladite pièce sont biseautés; les arêtes arrondies et les latéraux chanfreinés rentrants vers la base. Au centre de chaque coté en coïncidant avec l'axe de son rayon, se trouvent les évidages verticaux à mi-haulteür. Ce sont des encoches qui servent à s'enclencher relativement et circonstanciellement, lorsque les pièces passent par les points d'enclenchement de la pièce-pivot immobile.The upper edges of the sides of said part are bevelled; edges rounded and chamfered sides returning towards the base. In the center of each side coinciding with the axis of its radius, are the recesses vertical to mid-haulteür. These are notches that are used to snap relatively and circumstantially, when the pieces pass through the points of the stationary pivot piece.

Finalement, l'octant ou pièce-pivot, a un format substantiellement identique à celui des antérieures et dont les dimensions sont évidemment identiques. Les moyens d'assemblage pour les pièces de recouvrement ou enveloppantes sont les mêmes, en ayant cependant une légère différence, il ressort légèrement pour l'accouplement de la pièce respective de recouvrement dans un cas de réalisation spéciale.Finally, the octant or pivot piece, has a substantially identical format to that of the previous ones and whose dimensions are obviously identical. The assembly means for covering or enveloping parts are the same, but with a slight difference, it stands out slightly for coupling the respective cover piece in the event of special realization.

Les arêtes sont évidées à angle droit, tout comme celles que l'on connaít. II présente particulièrement à l'intérieur des couloirs voûtés fermés à l'intérieur et ouverts à l'extérieur, radiaux et à équidistance les uns des autres. Ce sont des guides pour le logement des membres d'enclenchement. Trois points d'enclenchement composés par les organes connus à ressort et à bille. Un ressort et une bille sont logés dans lesdits couloirs et dans les logements de la semi-sphére qui coïncident avec ceux-ci.The edges are hollowed out at right angles, just like those we know. II particularly present inside the vaulted corridors closed inside and open to the outside, radial and equidistant from each other. Those are guides for the accommodation of the interlocking members. Three points of interlocking composed by known spring and ball bodies. A spring and a ball are housed in said corridors and in the housings of the semi-sphere that coincide with these.

Les sommets précités de ces pièces évidées à angle droit coïncident et s'accouplent dans les arêtes coïncidentes des trois tiges attenantes des pièces en "T" de guidage.The aforementioned vertices of these hollowed out pieces at right angles coincide and mate in the coincident edges of the three adjoining rods of the parts in "T" guide.

Dans une version différente de ladite pièce, l'organe d'assemblage avec la pièce de recouvrement ou enveloppante, est adaptée pour constituer un membre d'ancrage pour un porte clefs ou un autre moyen d'assujettissement, un objet, un ornement ou similaire.In a different version of said part, the assembly member with the covering or enveloping part, is adapted to constitute a anchor member for a key chain or other means of securing, an object, an ornament or the like.

A cet effet, la pièce respective de recouvrement relative à la version antérieure sera aussi différente et spécialement adaptée pour être montée dans ledit organe d'assemblage.For this purpose, the respective covering part relating to the version will also be different and specially adapted to be mounted in said assembly member.

    • DESCRIPTION DES DESSINSDESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

    Les illustrations représentent en détail les ensembles, les parties et les formes de l'invention, ses caractéristiques structurales et ses particularités de concept.The illustrations show in detail the assemblies, parts and forms of the invention, its structural characteristics and its peculiarities concept.

    Une analyse de celles-ci facilite une large assimilation du contenu de l'invention.An analysis of these facilitates a broad assimilation of the content of the invention.

    A partir des représentations de la figure 2 et successivement jusqu'aux figures 7A, nous voyons des représentations des demi-ensembles et du dépiècement de l'invention.From the representations of Figure 2 and successively to Figures 7A, we see representations of the half-sets and the misappropriation of the invention.

    La sphère ou noyau de l'ensemble est indiquée avec (1) de façon générale, (10) et (11) étant les parties semi-sphériques qui l'intègrent.The sphere or core of the assembly is indicated with (1) in general, (10) and (11) being the semi-spherical parts which integrate it.

    Avec (2) on indique la pièce-'pivot non déplaçable, (2A) étant la version différemment adaptée de celle-ci, avec ses pièces de recouvrement ou enveloppantes (3) et (3A) respectives.With (2) we indicate the non-movable pivot piece, (2A) being the version differently adapted from it, with its covering parts or enveloping (3) and (3A) respectively.

    Avec (4) on indique de façon générale, les pièce de guidage en "T" et avec (5) les pièces mobiles ou déplaçables qui servent aussi de support à leurs pièces de recouvrement ou enveloppantes (3) respectives.With (4) we generally indicate the "T" guide pieces and with (5) moving or displaceable parts which also serve to support their respective covering or enveloping parts (3).

    Les deux parties semi-sphériques (10) (11) qui composent le noyau (1), sont accouplées respectivement entre elles par assemblage rainé et languetté (13) (14), servant d'élément d'ancrage l'encastrement (16) (16A) (Figures 2A-A et 2A-D).The two semi-spherical parts (10) (11) which make up the core (1), are coupled to each other by grooved and tabbed assembly (13) (14), serving as an anchoring element for the embedding (16) (16A) (Figures 2A-A and 2A-D).

    Le noyau (1) a six ajours (12) distribués à équidistance les uns des autres et orthogonalement dans le corps sphérique; quatre étant situés à 90° sur la ligne d'assemblage (L) et deux étant aux pôles de chaque semi-sphère (10) (11). Ces ajours (12) destinés au montage des pièces de guidage en "T" (4) présentant une bouche ayant des bords biseautés (12A) et elles sont intérieurement composées de différente manière. Les quatre trous (12) de ligne d'intersection (L) sont composés de deux parois parallèles (12B-12C) et ceux pattes parallèles (12D-12E). Les parois (12B-12C) et la patte (12D) sont intégrées dans la semi-sphère (11). La patte (12E) est intégrée dans la semi-sphère (10). Les logements (12) des pôles ont une forme tubulaire-carrée (12F). Ils ont une profondeur inférieure à la moitié du rayon intérieur de la sphère. Une longueur calculée pour que le membre d'ancrage de la pièce (4) puisse s'enclencher contre les bords (12C) intérieurs desdites parois (12B-12C), desdites pattes (12D-12E) et dudit trou tubulaire (12F).The core (1) has six openings (12) distributed equidistant from each other and orthogonally in the spherical body; four being located at 90 ° on the assembly line (L) and two being at the poles of each semi-sphere (10) (11). These openings (12) intended for the mounting of the "T" guide pieces (4) having a mouth having bevelled edges (12A) and they are internally composed in different ways. The four line holes (12) of intersection (L) are composed of two parallel walls (12B-12C) and those parallel legs (12D-12E). The walls (12B-12C) and the tab (12D) are integrated into the semi-sphere (11). The tab (12E) is integrated in the semi-sphere (10). The housings (12) of the poles have a tubular-square shape (12F). They have a depth less than half the inner radius of the sphere. A length calculated so that the anchor member of the part (4) can snap against the inner edges (12C) of said walls (12B-12C), said tabs (12D-12E) and said tubular hole (12F).

    L'assemblage des deux semi-sphères (10-11) fait que les logements (12) soient montés de cette façon.The assembly of the two semi-spheres (10-11) means that the housings (12) are mounted this way.

    La forme carrée des logements (12) formée aussi bien par la combinaison des parois (12B-12C) et des pattes (12D-12E) que par le corps tubulaire (12F) permet que les pièces guides (4) soient montées dans lesdits logements sans la nécessité d'une orientation précise et nécessaire de celui-ci. Elles se montent d'une façon très simple.The square shape of the housings (12) formed as well by the combination walls (12B-12C) and legs (12D-12E) only through the tubular body (12F) allows the guide parts (4) to be mounted in said housings without the need for a precise and necessary orientation of it. They are assembled in a very simple way.

    La semi-sphère (10) a des trous noyés (18) (18A) diamétralement opposés de projection oblique pour le montage des moyens de fixation respectives (6-6A) qui sont fixés dans les moyens femelles correspondants (15-15A) (figures 3B, 4B, 4D), situés à l'intérieur de la semi-sphère contraire (11), en demeurant à l'intérieur desdits trous (18-18A) et sous l'écorce de la semi-sphère (10).The semi-sphere (10) has diametrically opposed embedded holes (18) (18A) projection projection for mounting the respective fixing means (6-6A) which are fixed in the corresponding female means (15-15A) (figures 3B, 4B, 4D), located inside the opposite semi-sphere (11), remaining inside said holes (18-18A) and under the bark of the semi-sphere (10).

    La semi-sphère précitée (11) est dans l'écorce extérieure (figure 4A) dans un quadrant de celle-ci équivalent à un octant de celle-ci, plus concrètement l'endroit destiné à l'accouplement de la pièce de pivot (2), et elle a lesdits logements (17,17A et 17D) concaves à profil oblong et à pointe droite à mode d'une ellipse irrégulière tronquée.The aforementioned semi-sphere (11) is in the outer bark (Figure 4A) in a quadrant of it equivalent to an octant of it, more concretely the place intended for the coupling of the pivot part (2), and it has said concave housings (17,17A and 17D) with oblong profile and straight point with mode of a truncated irregular ellipse.

    Les logements (17, 17A et 17B) que nous pouvons voir particulièrement dans les figures 2D et 2A-D servent d'accouplement et de siège à l'organe d'enclenchement rétractable composé par le ressort (7) et la bille(8).The dwellings (17, 17A and 17B) that we can see particularly in figures 2D and 2A-D serve as coupling and seat for the organ retractable latch composed by the spring (7) and the ball (8).

    Ces organes rétractables d'enclenchement, trois au total, sont presque totalement contenus dans la pièce-pivot (2).These retractable interlocking devices, three in total, are almost completely contained in the pivot piece (2).

    Ladite pièce (2) qui, comme nous voyons dans les différentes représentations des figures 2 et 2A, est une pièce triangle-sphérique équivalente à un octant sphérique, est munie par le plan intérieur (20) desdits couloirs voûtés (21, 21A et 21B) distribués selon les axes radiaux de la pièce. Ils sont fermés intérieurement (22, 22A et 22B) et ouverts de l'extérieur (23, 23A et 23B) constituant le logement pour lesdits organes d'enclenchement, selon la figure 2D et 2A-D tandis que les logements (17, 17A et 17B), servent de siège pour que les bords tronqués (17C, 17D et 17E) respectivement, fassent fonction de butée pour les billes (8).Said part (2) which, as we see in the different representations of Figures 2 and 2A, is a triangle-spherical piece equivalent to a spherical octant, is provided by the internal plane (20) of said vaulted corridors (21, 21A and 21B) distributed along the radial axes of the room. They are closed internally (22, 22A and 22B) and open from the outside (23, 23A and 23B) constituting the housing for said interlocking members, according to the figure 2D and 2A-D while the housings (17, 17A and 17B) serve as seats so that the truncated edges (17C, 17D and 17E) respectively, function stop for the balls (8).

    On peut apprécier dans ladite représentation que la distance entre le fond (22, 22A et 22B) et les bouches (23, 23A et 23B) des couloirs voûtés (21, 21A et 21B) est inférieure à la distance entre lesdits fonds et lesdits bords-butés (17C 17BD et 17E) des logements (17, 17A et 17B) en permettant que la bille (B) ressorte légèrement et partiellement de la pièce (2) en constituant trois points d'enclenchement relatif pour les pièces déplaçables (5) (figure 6).It can be appreciated in said representation that the distance between the bottom (22, 22A and 22B) and the mouths (23, 23A and 23B) of the vaulted corridors (21, 21A and 21B) is less than the distance between said bottoms and said abutment edges (17C 17BD and 17E) housings (17, 17A and 17B) allowing the ball (B) slightly and partially protrudes from the part (2) constituting three relative interlocking points for movable parts (5) (figure 6).

    Comme dans le cas connu de l'Etat de la Technique les côtés (24, 24A et 24B) de la pièce (2) sont chanfreinés et déclivés vers le bas. Les arêtes (25, 25A et 25B) sont évidées à angle droit pour ajuster aux membres prismatiques des pièces de guidage (4) attenantes.As in the known state of the art, the sides (24, 24A and 24B) of the part (2) are chamfered and lowered downwards. The edges (25, 25A and 25B) are hollowed out at right angles to adjust to the prismatic members adjoining guide pieces (4).

    Ladite pièce (2) a aussi par le plan extérieur un évidage (26) à partir duquel se projette centralement l'organe d'assemblage (27) pour la pièce de recouvrement ou enveloppante respective (3) et pourvue à cet effet de chacune des dites rainures verticales (28, 28A, 28B) à 120° pour ajustement à baïonnette de certains membres mâles d'assemblage de la pièce (3).Said part (2) also has a recess (26) from the outside plane from which projects the assembly member (27) centrally for the workpiece respective covering or enveloping (3) and provided for this purpose with each said vertical grooves (28, 28A, 28B) at 120 ° for adjustment to bayonet of certain male members for assembling the part (3).

    Les six pièces en "T" qui composent les organes de guidage pour les octants déplaçables (5) et qui immobilisent la pièce-pivot (2) sont indiquées de façon générale avec (4).The six "T" pieces that make up the guide members for the movable octants (5) which immobilize the pivot piece (2) are indicated by generally with (4).

    Elles ont une tête carrée (40) et à section arc-sphérique avec des bords doublement biseautés (41-42) et des arêtes arrondies (43).They have a square head (40) and an arc-spherical section with edges doubly bevelled (41-42) and rounded edges (43).

    La section arc-sphérique de la tête (40) décrit un plan courbé en arc inférieur qui est égal au plan supérieur sphérique que décrivent les pièces déplaçables (5) et/ou immobile (2) et un plan courbé en arc supérieur qui est égal au plan sphérique inférieur que décrivent les pièces de recouvrement ou enveloppantes (3). Cela permet que le déplacement des pièces mobiles (5) et de la pièce respective (3) se fassent sans frottements inappropriés, obstructions et blocages. The arc-spherical section of the head (40) describes an arcuate plane lower which is equal to the upper spherical plane that the parts describe movable (5) and / or stationary (2) and a plane curved in an upper arc which is equal to the lower spherical plane described by the cover pieces or enveloping (3). This allows the movement of the moving parts (5) and of the respective part (3) are made without inappropriate friction, obstructions and blockages.

    La dimension de la tête (40) est réalisée en fonction du fait que, quelle que soit la position de la pièce (5) dans ses déplacements et quelque soit l'angle qu'elle occupe, elle sera toujours, dans une proportion plus ou moins grande, guidée par au moins deux têtes (40) desdites pièces guides (4), en rendant impossible le délogement fortuit et même forcé de celles-ci, à moins qu'elle se casse.The dimension of the head (40) is carried out according to the fact that, whatever either the position of the part (5) in its displacements and whatever the angle that it occupies, it will always, in a greater or lesser proportion, guided by at least two heads (40) of said guide parts (4), making impossible the fortuitous and even forced dislocation of these, unless it is broken.

    Elles sont associées à une tige verticale prismatique (46) qui à son extrémité inférieure est coupée par une ouverture en "V" à mode de pince et les deux pointes résultantes ont des épaulements externes (45-45A) à mode de griffes d'harpon.They are associated with a vertical prismatic rod (46) which at its lower end is cut by a V-shaped opening in clamp mode and the two resulting tips have external shoulders (45-45A) in harpoon claws.

    Lorsque les pièces (4) sont montées sur le noyau sphérique (1), les tiges (46) sont ajustées dans les trous carrés (12) en comprimant légèrement l'ouverture en "V" (44) jusqu'à ce que les griffes (45-45A) s'enclavent contre les bords (12G), les parois (12B-12C) et/ou les pattes (12D-12E) et/ou le tube-carré (12F) qui délimitent le logement intérieur des ajours (12).When the parts (4) are mounted on the spherical core (1), the rods (46) are adjusted in the square holes (12) by slightly compressing the "V" opening (44) until the claws (45-45A) lock against the edges (12G), walls (12B-12C) and / or legs (12D-12E) and / or square tube (12F) which delimit the interior housing of the openings (12).

    La tige (46) est directement en rapport avec les ouvertures (47-47A) de la tête (40) situées latéralement par rapport audites tiges (46) simplement pour favoriser des opérations de moulage et de démoulage de la pièce qui comme nous l'avons dit sera fabriquée en ABS.The rod (46) is directly related to the openings (47-47A) of the head (40) located laterally with respect to said rods (46) simply to favor molding and demolding operations of the part which, as as we said will be made of ABS.

    Il faut comprendre tant que l'ouverture en "V" (44) permet un montage ajusté de la tige (46) entre les parois (12B-12C) ou la patte (12D-12E) ou le tube-carré (12F) des logement (12), la pression n'est pas assez forte pour éviter que la pièce en "T" (4) ait un certain déplacement vertical relatif pour permettre un très petit jeu, mais suffisant, pour que le guidage de l'octant ou des pièces déplaçables (5) ne soit pas forcé ou retenu par ladite pièce-guide (4).It should be understood as long as the "V" opening (44) allows mounting adjusted from the rod (46) between the walls (12B-12C) or the lug (12D-12E) or the square tube (12F) of the housings (12), the pressure is not strong enough to avoid the "T" piece (4) has a certain relative vertical displacement to allow a very small clearance, but sufficient, for the guidance of the octant or parts movable (5) is not forced or retained by said guide piece (4).

    Les pièces précitées ou les octants déplaçables indiqués de façon générale avec (5) (figure 6) qui a, selon ce qui est connu dans l'Etat de la Technique, une forme générale triangle-sphérique, dans ce cas-ci, elles ont un évidage (50) par le plan supérieur à partir duquel se projette centralement un membre femelle (51) de l'assemblage, pourvu intérieurement et verticalement de rainures à 120° (52, 52A et 52B) pour ajustement à baïonnette de certains membres mâles respectifs (30) d'assemblage des pièces de recouvrement ou enveloppantes (3).The aforementioned parts or the movable octants indicated in general with (5) (Figure 6) which has, according to what is known in the prior art, a general triangle-spherical shape, in this case, they have a recess (50) by the upper plane from which a female member projects centrally (51) of the assembly, provided internally and vertically with grooves at 120 ° (52, 52A and 52B) for bayonet adjustment of certain male members respective (30) assembly of covering or enveloping parts (3).

    Ces pièces ou octants mobiles (5) qui ont aussi une forme connue, sont définies par des côtés chanfreinés (53, 53A et 53B) déclivés vers le bas et des arêtes émoussées (54, 54A et 54B), elles ont au centre desdits côtés, des évidages verticaux à mi-hauteur (55, 55A et 55B), qui sont ceux qui sont prévus pour l'enclenchement relatif dans les billes (8) qui ressortent relativement de la pièce-pivot (2), comme nous avons eu l'occasion de le décrire antérieurement et de voir dans les figures (2D et 2A-D), de manière que lorsque les pièces (5) sont déplacées dans les différents mouvements nécessaires pour la réalisation du jeu, selon l'invention, elles passent en frôlant les côtés (24, 24A, 24D) de la pièce (2) et ses parties lisses poussent vers le bas la bille (8) en comprimant partiellement le ressort (7), quand ladite bille (8), coïncide avec un des évidages (55, 55A et 55B) de la pièce (5) le ressort (7) est déclenché et la bille (8) s'ajuste dans ces évidages (55, 55A et 55B). Ce faible enclenchement se libère facilement en exerçant une légère pression sur la pièce (5).These moving parts or octants (5) which also have a known shape, are defined by chamfered sides (53, 53A and 53B) which are tapered downwards and blunt edges (54, 54A and 54B), they have in the center of said sides, vertical recesses at mid-height (55, 55A and 55B), which are those which are provided for the relative engagement in the balls (8) which protrude relatively from the pivot piece (2), as we had the opportunity to describe it previously and see in the figures (2D and 2A-D), so that when the pieces (5) are moved in the different movements necessary for the realization of the game, according to the invention, they pass by grazing the sides (24, 24A, 24D) of the part (2) and its smooth parts push the ball (8) down while compressing partially the spring (7), when said ball (8) coincides with one of the recesses (55, 55A and 55B) of the part (5) the spring (7) is triggered and the ball (8) fits in these recesses (55, 55A and 55B). This weak engagement is released easily by exerting slight pressure on the part (5).

    Une pièce ou un octant externe de recouvrement ou enveloppant (3), définissant la figure du jouet, dans une version différemment adaptée (3A), est représentée dans les figures 2A, C et D; elle serait pourvue d'un membre femelle annulaire (38) (figure 8) d'adaptation au membre central de l'assemblage (27) et d'une rainure (3C) par où pénètre l'organe d'adaptation de la pièce-pivot (2A) munie d'un élément d'ancrage en forme de fourche (2B) dont les pattes (2C-2D) sont solidaires et du membre central d'assemblage (27) de ladite pièce (2A). L'organe d'ancrage (28) définit une ouverture (2F) à mode d'anneau pour être assujetti à un élément ou objet indépendant, par exemple un porte clefs (9) (figures 9 et 9A).A piece or an external octant of covering or enveloping (3), defining the figure of the toy, in a differently adapted version (3A), is shown in Figures 2A, C and D; she would have a member annular female (38) (Figure 8) adapting to the central member of the assembly (27) and a groove (3C) through which penetrates the adaptation member of the pivot piece (2A) provided with a fork-shaped anchoring element (2B) of which the legs (2C-2D) are integral with the central assembly member (27) of said part (2A). The anchoring member (28) defines a mode opening (2F) ring to be subjected to an independent element or object, for example a key holder (9) (Figures 9 and 9A).

    La versatilité que l'on peut obtenir de la pièce immobile de pivot (2-2A) est un grand avantage puisqu'elle peut avoir de multiples adaptations différentes pour pouvoir l'accoupler à de multiples objets sans que cela diminue aucune condition du développement du jeu, selon l'invention, dans les représentations multiples qu'elles peuvent adopter et où nous avons un exemple élémentaire dans les figures précitées 9 et 9A. The versatility that can be obtained from the stationary pivot piece (2-2A) is a great advantage since it can have multiple different adaptations to be able to couple it to multiple objects without it diminishing any condition for the development of the game, according to the invention, in the representations multiples they can adopt and where we have an elementary example in the above figures 9 and 9A.

    Une fois décrite convenablement la nature du modèle, on constate aux effets opportuns, que celui-ci ne se limite pas aux détails exacts de cette exposition, mais qu'au contraire, dans celui-ci on introduira les modifications que l'on considérera opportunes, sans toutefois modifier les caractéristiques essentielles de celui-ci, que l'on revendique à la suite.Once the nature of the model has been properly described, we can see timely effects, that this is not limited to the exact details of this exhibition, but on the contrary, in this one we will introduce the modifications that we consider appropriate, without however modifying the characteristics essentials of it, which we claim below.
