Ferner ist es im Fall von elastischen Rastnasen möglich, die Verbindung zwischen einem Baustein und einem Verbinder ohne die beschriebene Drehung des Verbinders um 45° zu lösen. Die Elastizität der Rastnasen ist vorzugsweise derart ausgebildet, daß die Verbindung zwischen dem Baustein und dem Verbinder durch ein Demontagewerkzeug lösbar ist. Bei einer elastischen Ausbildung der Rastnasen ist es möglich, die Montage und Demontage sowohl durch die beschriebenen Drehungen um 45° als auch von Hand durchzuführen, und zwar bei der Montage durch Eindrücken und bei der Demontage durch ein Werkzeug.It is advantageous if one or more or all locking lugs are elastic. Then it is possible to make the connection of a connector with a block without the rotation described by 45 ° by the connector is positioned correctly and pressed into the mounting hole. The elasticity of the locking lugs is preferably designed such that the preparation of the connection by pressing in by hand is possible. Further, in the case of resilient detents, it is possible to loosen the connection between a building block and a connector by 45 ° without the described rotation of the connector. The elasticity of the locking lugs is preferably designed such that the connection between the block and the connector is detachable by a disassembly tool. With an elastic design of the locking lugs, it is possible to perform the assembly and disassembly both by the rotations described by 45 ° and by hand, namely during assembly by pressing and disassembly by a tool.
Das Montage- und Demontagewerkzeug für den Verbinder des erfindungsgemäßen Bausystems umfaßt einen exzentrischen Vorsprung, der in eine entsprechende Aufnahme des Verbinders einsteckbar ist. Vorzugsweise weist der exzentrische Vorsprung einen kreuzförmigen Querschnitt auf. Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung weist das Werkzeug einen vorstehenden Keil auf. Dieser vorstehende Keil befindet sich vorzugsweise auf der dem exzentrischen Vorsprung gegenüberliegenden Seite des Werkzeugs. Er ist vorzugsweise derart ausgestaltet, daß er in eine Aussparung, die an einer Ecke eines Bausteins vorgesehen sein kann, oder in die von zwei benachbarten derartigen Aussparungen gebildete Gesamtaussparung einsetzbar ist. Durch eine Verdrehung des Keils können die verbundenen Bausteine voneinander entfernt werden, wodurch die Verbindung gelöst werden kann.The assembly and disassembly tool for the connector of the building system according to the invention comprises an eccentric projection which can be inserted into a corresponding receptacle of the connector. Preferably, the eccentric projection has a cross-shaped cross-section. According to a further advantageous embodiment, the tool has a protruding wedge. This protruding wedge is preferably located on the opposite side of the eccentric projection of the tool. It is preferably designed such that it can be inserted into a recess which can be provided at a corner of a building block or into the overall recess formed by two adjacent such openings. By twisting the wedge, the connected components can be removed from each other, whereby the connection can be solved.

Die Montageöffnung 2 umfaßt vier Seiten 4, 5, 6, 7. Jeweils zwei benachbarte Seiten, beispielsweise die Seiten 4 und 5 sind durch eine Eckfläche 8 verbunden. Die Eckflächen 8 sind Teile einer Kreiszylinderfläche, wobei der Mittelpunkt des Kreiszylinders in der Mitte der quadratischen Montageöffnung 2 liegt.The mounting
Die äußeren Ränder der quadratischen Montageöffnung 2, also der Seiten 4, 5, 6, 7 und der Eckflächen 8 sind mit einer Fase versehen, deren Winkel 45° beträgt und an die sich eine umlaufende, ebene Terrassenfläche 9 anschließt. Anstelle einer Fase oder zusätzlich zu dieser kann auch ein Radius vorgesehen sein. Die umlaufende Terrassenfläche 9 liegt zwischen den Seiten der quadratischen Montageöffnung 2 und dem Montagetrichter 3.The outer edges of the square mounting
Der Montagetrichter 3 umfaßt vier Schrägflächen 10, 11, 12, 13, die in einem Winkel von etwa 15° zur Ebene der Montageöffnung 2 verlaufen. Jeweils zwei benachbarte Schrägflächen 10 - 13 sind durch eine abgerundete schräge Verbindungsfläche 14 miteinander verbunden.The mounting hopper 3 comprises four
Der Baustein 1 weist an seinen Ecken jeweils eine Aussparung 15 auf, die die drei angrenzenden Seitenflächen überdeckt.The
Auf der den Rastnasen 17 gegenüberliegenden Seite des Verbinders 16 sind zwei weitere Rastnasen 23 vorgesehen, die symmetrisch zu den Rastnasen 17 ausgebildet sind. Der Verbinder 16 ist insgesamt symmetrisch ausgebildet, so daß die untere Seite mit den zwei weiteren Rastnasen 23 der erläuterten oberen Seite entspricht und nicht erneut beschrieben werden muß.On the latching lugs 17 opposite side of the
Zur Montage eines Verbinders 16 oder 28 mit einem Baustein 1 wird der Verbinder 16, 28 in einer um 45° gedrehten Stellung in die quadratische Montageöffnung 2 eingeführt, und zwar derart, daß die Rastnasen 17 und gegebenenfalls 24 den Eckflächen 8 gegenüberliegen. Der Abstand gegenüberliegender Rastnasen 17 bzw. 24 ist derart bemessen, daß er etwas kleiner ist als die Diagonale der Montageöffnung 2, also der Abstand zwischen zwei diagonal gegenüberliegenden Eckflächen 8. Die Rastnasen 17und gegebenenfalls 24 durchschreiten die Montageöffnung 2, bis die Montageerhebung 18 bzw. 25 den Montagetrichter 3 berührt. Anschließend wird der Verbinder 16 bzw. 28 um 45° gedreht. Da die Montageerhebung 18 bzw. 25 zunächst noch diagonal aufliegt, vermindert sich im Laufe dieser Bewegung der Abstand zwischen dem Verbinder 16 bzw. 28 und dem Baustein 1, entsprechend der Kontur der Unterseite der Rastnasen. In der Endstellung liegen die Rastnasen 17 bzw. 24 unter den Seitenflächen 4 - 7 der quadratischen Montageöffnung 2. Sie sind dort verrastet.For mounting a
Die soeben beschriebene, verrastete Stellung kann auch dadurch erreicht werden, daß der Verbinder 16 bzw. 28 in der beschriebenen Endlage auf der Montageöffnung 2 positioniert und von Hand in die Montageöffnung 2 hineingedrückt wird. Aufgrund der Elastizität der die Rastnasen 17, 24 tragenden Erhebungen 22 weichen die Rastnasen 17, 24 nach innen aus. Diese elastische Bewegung nach innen wird durch Einlaufschrägen 30 unterstützt, die oberhalb der Rastnasen 17 vorgesehen sind.The latched position just described can also be achieved by positioning the
