Abstract

A constructional toy component (13) which has on at least one edge (11), two portions (15, 16) each of which has associated therewith one of two complementary members (19, 18), the arrangement being such that when two similar edges are brought into abutment but in the opposite sense, the complementary members (19, 18) can interengage if one of the components is initially flexed to effectively vary the spacing between the complementary members thereon. In one form of the invention, the edges are formed of rod like members and thus the component is basically defined by a peripheral frame. After engagement is completed, and the flexure is released, there is effectively no deformation of either component, but the components are held together by the interrelationship of the complementary members.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 教育玩具構成部品 本発明は、教育玩具、特に互いに連結できる組立玩具に関するものである． 一般的に、様々な構成部品を互いに連結する組立玩具として知られている、教育 玩具には多様な種類がある． これらの玩具のうちのある種のもの、および本発明の玩具は基本的に、三角形、 四角形、五角形などのような様々な形状を有する、幾つかの平坦な部材からなっ ており、かつこれらの部材は、隣接する縁に沿って相補的な部分によって互いに 連結されるようになっている． よく知られているこの種の玩具の一つは、『ポリドロン』という登録商標で市販 されている．このポリドロン玩具にはその長手方向に沿って、辺の観念上の周縁 に向かい外向きに延びている部分と、この内側にある内側部分とから成っており 、しかも前記外向き部分には、その外側の縁に隣接して破断部があり、そして前 記内側部分には、その外向きの縁に外向きに延びている箇所があって、しかも、 該内側部分の内側の縁部は、縁の内側部と実質上一直線をなし、外向き部分の端 末部は実質上、外側部と一直線をなしている。[Detailed description of the invention] educational toy components The present invention relates to educational toys, and particularly to assembly toys that can be connected to each other. An educational toy commonly known as an assembly toy that connects various components to each other. There are various types of toys. Certain of these toys, and the toys of the present invention, are essentially triangular, Consisting of several flat members having various shapes like square, pentagon, etc. and these members are connected to each other by complementary portions along adjacent edges. It is now connected. One well-known toy of this type is marketed under the registered trademark ``Polydron''. It has been done. This polydron toy has a notional periphery along its length. It consists of a part that extends outward towards the , and an inner part that lies inside this. , and said outwardly facing portion has a break adjacent its outer edge, and said forward facing portion has a break adjacent its outer edge; The inner portion has an outwardly extending portion on its outer edge, and The inner edge of the inner portion is substantially in line with the inner edge of the edge and the edge of the outward facing portion. The distal portion is substantially in line with the outer portion.

ポリドロン玩具では、２つの部分の連結部に、玩具本体と同じ材質から作られて おり、かつ玩具の中央部に向かっている２か所の破断部により画されている、バ ネ部材がある。In Polydron toys, the joint between the two parts is made from the same material as the toy itself. The bar is defined by two breaks that extend toward the center of the toy. There is a screw part.

上記の部分には、外向き部分の外側の縁に小突起があり、かつ内側部分に隣接す る外向き端末部には小さい窪みがあって、その結果、２つの同様な部材は連結さ れるが、一方は他方に対して裏返しになり、小突起と窪みが嵌め合わされ、さら に互いに接触しているバネ部材により、外向きの弾性圧が与えられる。The above part has small projections on the outer edge of the outward facing part and adjacent to the inner part. There is a small indentation in the outwardly facing end so that two similar parts are not connected. However, one side is turned over against the other, and the small protrusions and indentations fit together, making it more exposed. An outward elastic pressure is applied by the spring members in contact with each other.

この様に互いに連接された２つの部材は、実質上回転できるように互いに連結さ れ、そして他の部材との固有な関係により、構造部材が作られる。The two members thus connected to each other are substantially rotatably connected to each other. and its unique relationships with other members create a structural member.

ポリドロン玩具は、それなりに満足されるものではあるが、幾つかの欠点がある 。Polydron toys are reasonably satisfying, but they do have some drawbacks. .

その第１は、バネ部材は、隣接の各部材が互いに連結されるとき、応力に曝され 、破損することがよくあり、そして一旦５部材の１つが破損すると、小突起と窪 みの間の接続部にかけられていた圧力がなくなり。First, the spring member is exposed to stress when adjacent members are connected to each other. , often breaks, and once one of the five members breaks, small protrusions and depressions The pressure on the connection between the two ends is removed.

構成部品の組立てが維持されなくなる、という点である。The point is that the assembly of component parts cannot be maintained.

第２は１部材が中実である場合、形態の形成は全て実質的に外側面から行わな− ければならないので、複雑な形態を作ることは困難である、という点である。さ らにもう一つの欠点は、部材は中実のプラスチック材から成形され、しかも各構 成部品のプラスチック材は比較的に高品質であるので、部材が比較的に高価にな る、という点である。Second, if one member is solid, all shaping is done substantially from the outside surface. The point is that it is difficult to create complex shapes because it requires difference Another drawback is that the components are molded from solid plastic material, and each component Since the plastic material used in the components is relatively high quality, the components are relatively expensive. The point is that

本発明の課題は、上述の欠点を最小限に抑えた組立玩具を供することである。The object of the invention is to provide an assembly toy in which the above-mentioned disadvantages are minimized.

本発明はその最も広い意味において、同様な構成を有する少なくとも１つの構成 部品に連結される組立玩具構成部品を含み、しかも該玩具構成部品は、２つの部 分からなる少なくとも１つの縁を有し、かつ前記縁の２つの部分の一方は他方に 比して該構成部品の内部からより離れており、また前記録の両部分は、その隣接 する端末において連結されており、さらに外側部分は、その他方の端末に第１の 相補部材を備え、他方の部分はその他方の端末に隣接して第２の相補部材を備え ており、その上、組立ては、以下のように、すなわち、２つの構成部品が組み合 わされ、それらの構成部品の１つが屈曲して、その結果画構成部品の相補部材間 の間隔が狭くなるとき、一方の構成部品の第１相補部材は、他方の構成部品の第 ２相補部材に接触し、同様に他方の相補部材もまた嵌め合わすことができるが、 連結が完了して、屈曲がなくなると、どちらの構成部品の変形も実質的になくな るが、各構成部品は相補部材の相互関係により、連結を維持するような組立法に なっている。In its broadest sense, the invention includes at least one configuration having a similar configuration. includes an assembled toy component connected to a part, and the toy component is made up of two parts. and one of the two portions of said edge is attached to the other. Both parts of the previous record are further away from the interior of the component than their neighbors. The outer portion is connected to the other terminal at the first terminal. a complementary member, the other portion having a second complementary member adjacent the other end; Moreover, the assembly is performed as follows: one of their components bends, resulting in a gap between complementary members of the image component. When the spacing between the two components becomes narrower, the first complementary member of one component is Two complementary members can be contacted and the other complementary member can also be fitted together, but Once the connection is complete and there is no bending, there is virtually no deformation of either component. However, each component can be assembled in a way that maintains the connection through the interrelationship of complementary parts. It has become.

各部分は、棒状部材であることが、望ましい。Preferably, each portion is a rod-shaped member.

また、玩具構成部品は、多くの部分からなり、各部分は棒状部材で、開口がある ことが、望ましい、　各部分は実質的に平行な軸を有し、その組立は、隣接する 構成部品が嵌め合わされると、隣接の構成部品の各部分は密接するように、行わ れる。In addition, toy components consist of many parts, and each part is a rod-shaped member with an opening. It is desirable that each part have substantially parallel axes and that the assembly When the components are mated, the parts of adjacent components are aligned so that they are in close contact. It will be done.

本発明がより容易に理解され、かつ実施できるように、以下のような添付の図面 を参照しながら、１つの実施例を説明する。すなわち、 図１は、本発明に基づいて作られた３角形の構成部品の平面図である。In order that the present invention may be more easily understood and practiced, the accompanying drawings as follows: One embodiment will be described with reference to . That is, FIG. 1 is a plan view of a triangular component made in accordance with the present invention.

図２は１図１の線Ａ−Ａによる断面図である。FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A--A in FIG.

図３は、本発明の４角形構成部品の平面図である。FIG. 3 is a plan view of a quadrangular component of the invention.

図４は、図３の線Ａ−Ａによる断面図である。FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 3.

図５は、連結された本発明の幾つかの構成部品を示す図である。FIG. 5 shows several components of the invention connected together.

本発明に基づいて作られた組立構成部品の最も簡単な形態は１図１と２に示され ている３角形であって、しかもこれは、第１の実施例では、３つの辺１０．１１ ．１２を有する開口３角形で、各辺は、上述の説明の辺と同様であり、また３角 形の中央部分が開口している。The simplest form of assembled components made in accordance with the invention is shown in Figures 1 and 2. In the first embodiment, this is a triangle with three sides 10 and 11. ．． an aperture triangle with 12 sides, each side being similar to the side in the description above, and with a triangle The center part of the shape is open.

各辺は一対の棒状部分１５．１６を有し、これらはその内側の端末の連結部１７ で互いに連結している。Each side has a pair of rod-shaped portions 15,16, which connect at its inner end 17. are connected to each other.

棒状部分１６は、該部分と同軸の延長部１８を備え、また棒状部分１５は、これ もまた棒状部分１６と同軸であり、かつ部分１５から直接外側に向かっている延 長部２０にある窪み１９を有している。The rod-shaped portion 16 has an extension 18 coaxial therewith, and the rod-shaped portion 15 has an extension 18 coaxial therewith. is also coaxial with the rod-shaped portion 16 and extends directly outward from the portion 15. It has a depression 19 in the long part 20.

延長部１８と窪み１９は共に、一般的に半球状の部材の形態をしている。Both extension 18 and depression 19 are generally in the form of hemispherical members.

特に窪み１９を含む部分２２の一般的な形状は、３角形をなすようになっており 、該部分の１辺２３は。In particular, the general shape of the portion 22 including the depression 19 is triangular. , one side 23 of the part is.

部材が連結される場合、隣接する辺のうちの辺２４を受ける。When the members are connected, they receive sides 24 of the adjacent sides.

上述のように、各辺１０、■および１２は、同一であると見なすことができる。As mentioned above, each side 10, 1 and 12 can be considered to be identical.

図３と４に示されている正方形の構成部品には、４つの辺があり、この場合、部 分３４はそれ自体基本的に３角形ではなく、４角形であることを除き、これらの 辺は、辺１１と同等であると見なせるが、部分３５は、前の実施例の部分２３と 同等であると見なすことができ、そして部分３６は、同じ様に両部分が合致する 点において１部分２４と実質的に同等である。The square components shown in Figures 3 and 4 have four sides; These are similar to each other, except that the minute 34 is itself essentially a quadrilateral, not a triangle. The side can be considered to be equivalent to side 11, but portion 35 is similar to portion 23 of the previous example. can be considered to be equivalent, and portion 36 corresponds to both parts in the same way. It is substantially equivalent to part 24 in this respect.

ここでは、完全に３角形と正方形を例示しているが、上述のシステムの説明の場 合にそうであったように、構成部品は、５角形、８角形または菱形さえも含む多 様な形状が可能であり、そして必要ならば、内部構成部品も可能である。Although we are fully illustrating triangles and squares here, the use of the system described above is As was the case in the Various shapes and, if necessary, internal components are possible.

図５は、４つの異なる形状、すなわち既に図示されている３角形と正方形、５角 形、それに、これにつし１ては後により詳細に説明する、内部構造のある３角形 の相互連結を示している。Figure 5 shows four different shapes, namely the triangle and square already illustrated, and the pentagonal shape, and also a triangle with an internal structure, which will be explained in more detail later. It shows the interconnectedness of the

図５は、これらの構成部品が１つの平面に構成されていることを示している。FIG. 5 shows that these components are arranged in one plane.

各構成部品を相互連結するには、連結される構成部品は、辺が第１の構成部品の 辺と相補関係になるよう、また各場合において、延長部１８が窪み１９に合うよ うに、回転されなければならない。To interconnect each component, the components to be interconnected must have an edge of the first component. so that they are complementary to the sides and in each case so that the extension 18 fits into the recess 19. It must be rotated.

部分１５と１６の軸の互いのピッチに従ってと共に、これらの分の長さに基づい てもこれを行うことができる。According to the mutual pitch of the axes of parts 15 and 16 and on the basis of the length of these parts You can also do this.

構成部品を相互連結させるには、構成部品がある程度、屈曲できなければならな らず、それには幾つかの方法がある。In order for components to be interconnected, they must be able to bend to some extent. There are several ways to do this.

基本的には、延長部１８と窪み１９との間には相対的運動ができる必要がある。Basically, it is necessary to allow relative movement between the extension 18 and the depression 19.

辺自体は、１つの構成部品全体に比して比較的に小さな直径の棒状なので、辺の １つを屈曲させるだけで、十分な動きが得られ、この棒状部分の延長部と窪みと の間の間隔が挟まり、隣接する構成部品の相補部と互いに連結することができる 。ここで、屈曲が１つの辺でなされると、記されている場合、一般的には構成部 品全体にわたって屈曲する傾向がある。The side itself is rod-shaped with a relatively small diameter compared to the entire component, so the side Just by bending one part, enough movement can be obtained, and the extension of this rod-shaped part and the indentation The gap between the parts is narrowed and the complementary parts of adjacent components can be connected to each other. . Where it is stated that the bend is made on one side, it is generally the case that the component It has a tendency to bend over the entire length of the product.

図で分かるように、どのように構成部品が相互連結されるかに因り、屈曲は、１ 成部品の平面においてか、または該平面から離れて、どのような方向にも可能で ある。As can be seen in the figure, depending on how the components are interconnected, the bending In any direction possible, in or away from the plane of the component. be.

本発明の主要な特徴は、隣接する辺が互いに嵌め込まれると、どちらの構成部品 にも実質的に応力が発生せずにすむことである。これは、構成部品が互いに連結 されている際の嵌め合い中にのみ、屈曲が生じることを意味する。一旦、嵌め合 わされると、組立られたものには、もはや応力は生じない、したがって、構成部 品の相互連結の結果、構成部品に長期変化が生じることもない、 繰り返すが、多様な形状の部材の組立は、部材が困難なく互いに嵌め合わされる ように、実施でき、そして一旦、互いに嵌め合わされれば、部材には応力が生じ ない、この様にして、実質的に３次限の構造を作ることも可能である。A key feature of the invention is that when adjacent sides are fitted into each other, neither component This also means that virtually no stress is generated. This means that the components are connected to each other. This means that bending occurs only during the mating process. Once fitted, Once the assembly is released, there is no longer any stress in the assembly, so the components There are no long-term changes in the component parts as a result of the interconnection of the products. Again, the assembly of parts of various shapes allows the parts to fit together without difficulty. can be carried out in a similar manner, and once fitted together, the parts will be under stress. In this way, it is also possible to create substantially three-dimensional structures.

部材がその本来の平面内にないような構造を作ることも可能である。この状態に おいては、正常な平面からはずれている構成部品の全体にわたって応力が存在す るであるけれど、この応力は、構成部品の相互連結によって生ずる応力とは関連 しない。It is also possible to create structures in which the members are not in their natural plane. in this state In some cases, stress is present throughout a component that is out of its normal plane. However, this stress is not related to the stress caused by the interconnection of the components. do not.

本発明の構成部品は、必要に応えた前掲の長所、すなわち、それは容易にはめ合 わせることができ、特に複雑な形をつくらなければならないときに、従来ならば 、いくつかの構成部品に中央開口を設けることが提案されてはいたけれど一般に は不可能であった、各構成部品の内側からも外側からも組立てることが出来ると いう長所をもつことが分かるであろう、前記の中央開口は、従来は、構成部品の 全寸法に比べて、一般的に小さかったが、本発明の構成部品の辺を構成する棒状 部分は、構成部品の全寸法に比べて小さい。The components of the present invention meet the above-mentioned advantages, namely, that they fit together easily. When you have to create particularly complex shapes, you can use Although it has been proposed to provide central openings in some components, generally It was impossible to assemble each component from the inside and outside. It will be seen that the central opening described above has the advantage of Although generally small compared to the overall dimensions, the rod-like shape forming the sides of the component of the present invention The portion is small compared to the overall dimensions of the component.

比較的少量のプラスチック材が用いられるので、構成部品の製造コストに著しく 不都合な影響を与えることなく工業規格のプラスチック材を用いることができ。Because a relatively small amount of plastic material is used, there is a significant increase in component manufacturing costs. Industrial standard plastic materials can be used without adverse effects.

、それによって、固い構成部品を作るために同じ材料を用いた場合よりも実質的 に低い価格で高品質の製品を得ることが出来る。そのような材料の使用によって １、使用時に特に堅固な製品が得られた。, thereby making it substantially less expensive than using the same material to make solid components. You can get high quality products at low prices. By using such materials 1. A particularly firm product was obtained during use.

円形部材の外周の直径が棒の口と係合するようなものでなければならないことが 、認識されるであろう。The diameter of the outer circumference of the circular member must be such that it engages the mouth of the rod. , will be recognized.

棒は、２つの離隔した部材の形態で口とともに形成することができる。棒はそれ 自身で、端部同士の保合による延長できるように相互接続されることができる。The rod can be formed with the mouth in the form of two spaced apart members. That's the stick They can themselves be interconnected for extension by end-to-end engagement.

本発明の他の実施態様として、種々の部材のカバーとなるパネルを設けてもよい 、そのようなパネルの１つの具体的な形態は、部材の形の上を覆うに適した複合 のクリップを有する。このクリップは、棒の形に対して相補形をなし、また、挟 んだときには変形するがその後は無応力の状態になる。In other embodiments of the invention, panels may be provided to cover various components. , one specific form of such a panel is a composite panel suitable for covering over the shape of the member. Has a clip. This clip is complementary to the shape of the rod and It deforms when soldered, but after that it becomes stress-free.

代りの実施態様として、パネル部材の孔に嵌められるように、各隅から外向きに 伸びるビンを設けてもよい。In an alternative embodiment, the panels extend outwardly from each corner to fit into holes in the panel member. An extendable bottle may also be provided.

そのようなパネル部材を用いることによって、隣接する組立部材全体を覆うこと ができる。By using such panel members, the entire adjacent assembly member can be covered. Can be done.

二の配列は、この組立部材によって空間の枠組みを組み立て、必要ならば最終完 成品としてこの空間枠組みを覆うことができるというものである。The second arrangement uses these assembly members to assemble the framework of the space and, if necessary, to finalize it. As a finished product, it can cover this spatial framework.

教育的観点からすると、このような配列は、教師に、各種の３次元の概念を表示 説明し、その概念を評価するために続いてその製品を覆って立体としてみせるこ とができるという利便を与える。From a pedagogical point of view, such an arrangement allows teachers to display various three-dimensional concepts. The product can then be covered and shown as a three-dimensional object to explain and evaluate the concept. It provides the convenience of being able to
