Abstract

The invention concerns a device for assembling planar perforated elements by the tension of a linking elastic element threaded through the perforations (1) and maintained by retaining stops (2), the perforations being arranged so as to face one another whatever the position wherein the elements to be assembled are set. The adjustable external position of the retaining stops enables, by integrating therein or by being constituted of an interlocking element capable of being repositioned, to assemble mutually the volumes pre-assembled adjustably and modifiably. The inventive device is particularly adapted to construction sets for children and can also be used non-exclusively for packaging, packing or light furniture.

Description

DISPOSITIF DE CONSTRUCTION MODULAIRE PERMETTANT D'ASSEMBLER DES PAROIS COMPOSEES D'ELEMENTS MODULAIRES PLANS DE MANIERE A FORMER -DES VOLUMES MODULABLES QUI PUISSENT S'ASSEMBLER ENTRE EUX. MODULAR CONSTRUCTION DEVICE FOR ASSEMBLING WALLS COMPOSED OF MODULAR ELEMENTS PLANS TO FORM - MODULAR VOLUMES WHICH MAY ASSEMBLE BETWEEN THEM.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de construction modulaire permettant d'assembler de façon réversible, modifiable et simple des parois composées d'éléments modulaires plans de manière à former des volumes modulables qui puissent s'assembler entre eux.The present invention relates to a modular construction device for reversibly, modifiable and simple assembly of walls composed of planar modular elements so as to form modular volumes which can be assembled together.

Traditionnellement, les dispositifs d'assemblages d'éléments modulaires présentent divers inconvénients:Traditionally, devices for assembling modular elements have various drawbacks:

-certains sont compliqués, nécessitant l'emploi d'outils et d'adresse pour être mis en oeuvre, -d'autres ne permettent de former que des objets- some are complicated, requiring the use of tools and skill to be implemented, - others only allow objects to be formed

« finis » auxquels il est impossible d'ajouter une extension sans avoir à démonter au moins en partie l'objet déjà existant, -ils ne permettent pas d'assembler entre eux les objets qu'ils forment. -les assemblages ne peuvent que rarement s'effectuer dans tous les sens."Finished" to which it is impossible to add an extension without having to at least partially disassemble the already existing object, - they do not allow them to assemble the objects they form. -assembly can only rarely be done in all directions.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à tous ces inconvénients.The device according to the invention overcomes all these drawbacks.

Il est d'emploi suffisement aisé pour pouvoir être mis en oeuvre par un enfant sans l'aide du moindre outillage. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique un lien ou élément de liaison pouvant être élastique qu'il suffit d'enfiler soit directement, soit par des fentes, dans des perforations, disposées de façon régulière dans les éléments plans de manière à ce qu'elles se fassent toujours face lorsque l'on présente tous ces éléments entre eux dans n'importe quel sens, pour obtenir un volume assemblé. Ce volume peut avoir- une infinité de formes qui ne dépendent que de la variété des formes choisies pour les éléments plans et que l'on peut toutes combiner ensemble de toutes les façons. Les différents éléments qui composent ce volume sont liés entre eux par la tension du lien ou de l'élément élastique retenu à ses deux extrémités par des butées de maintien représentées ici sous la forme de boutons ou plaques de maintien que l'effort de traction applique à l'extérieur du volume.It is easy enough to use to be able to be used by a child without the aid of any tools. According to a first characteristic, it in fact comprises a link or connecting element which can be elastic, which it suffices to thread either directly or through slots, in perforations, arranged regularly in the planar elements so that they always face each other when we present all these elements together in any direction, to obtain an assembled volume. This volume can have an infinite number of forms which only depend on the variety of forms chosen for the planar elements and which we can all combine together in any way. The different elements that make up this volume are linked together by the tension of the link or of the elastic element retained at its two ends by retaining stops represented here in the form of buttons or holding plates that the tensile force applies to the outside of the volume.

Ce dispositif permet également de pouvoir assembler entre eux par simple mise en contact tous les volumes qu'il a permi de construire, rendant alors possibles à la fois des extensions de l'assemblage réalisé et des modifications de ces extensions. En effet, selon des modes particuliers de réalisation, les butées ou plaques de maintien peuvent soit être profilées de façon à pouvoir comporter chacune ou encastrer dans chacune, comme dans le cas représenté ici, un élément de solidarisation adhésif repositionnable (aimant, colle repositionnable, matière auto agrippante, ou profilé mécanique de type pression, clip ou crochet) , soit être composée de l'un de ces éléments. La position externe de ces butées ou plaques sur le volume qu'elles retiennent et la régularité de leurs emplacements leur permet de se faire face et de s'appliquer à toutes les butées ou plaques retenant d'autres volumes afin que tous les volumes assemblés au moyen du dispositif de cette invention puissent être assemblés entre eux au moyen de ce même dispositif. La nature repositionnable de l'élément de solidarisation encastré ainsi que leur positionnement homologue ou complémentaire sur chacune des butées de maintien de chaque organe d'assemblage permet de pouvoir modifier à volonté et dans tous les sens les assemblages des volumes entre eux. En effet, le dispositif selon l'invention utilise, dans le cas d'éléments de solidarisation aimantés, de préférence des aimants multipolaires qui s'attirent entre eux quelle que soit la face ou le sens dans lequel on les présente. Dans les autres cas, lorsque les matières (velcro par exemple) ou les formesThis device also makes it possible to be able to assemble them by simple contacting all the volumes that it has allowed to build, thus making possible both extensions of the assembly carried out and modifications of these extensions. Indeed, according to particular embodiments, the abutments or retaining plates can either be profiled so as to be able to each comprise or to be embedded in each, as in the case shown here, a repositionable adhesive fastening element (magnet, repositionable glue, self-gripping material, or mechanical profile of pressure type, clip or hook), or be composed of one of these elements. The external position of these stops or plates on the volume they retain and the regularity of their locations allows them to face each other and apply to all the stops or plates retaining other volumes so that all the volumes assembled in means of the device of this invention can be assembled together by means of this same device. The repositionable nature of the embedded fastening element as well as their homologous or complementary positioning on each of the holding stops of each assembly member makes it possible to be able to modify at will and in all directions the assemblies of the volumes between them. Indeed, the device according to the invention uses, in the case of magnetized fastening elements, preferably multipolar magnets which attract each other whatever the face or the direction in which they are presented. In other cases, when the materials (velcro for example) or the shapes

(pression, par exemple) des éléments de solidarisation nécessitent des assemblages de type positif/négatif ou mâle/femelle (y compris au cas où l'on choisirait d'utiliser des aimant unipolaires), chaque butée de maintien peut porter chacune des « polarités » à chacune des extrémités du lien des organes d'assemblage. Ces organes étant alors judicieusement placés dans les perforations avec des sens alternés, la possibilité d'assembler les volumes dans tous les sens est conservée. Le sens de positionnement des organes de maintien dans les perforations peut alors être facilement repéré par une forme spécifique ou un code couleur.(pressure, for example) securing elements require positive / negative or male / female type assemblies (including in the case where one chooses to use unipolar magnets), each retaining stop can each carry "polarities" At each end of the link of the assembly members. These organs being then judiciously placed in the perforations with alternating directions, the possibility of assembling the volumes in all directions is preserved. The direction of positioning of the holding members in the perforations can then be easily identified by a specific shape or a color code.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut présenter des aspects très divers, les parois pouvant comporter tout procédé de finition de type habillage, illustration, photo, matière ou couleur, les butées d'assemblages pouvant être profilées de diverses formes adapté à l'usage désiré (par exemple des formes de fleur pour un jouet d'enfant) et tous les éléments pouvant être déclinés en différentes dimensions. Le dispositif selon l'invention peut présenter des usages très divers, ses parois et ses organes d'assemblage pouvant être constituées de ou comporter tout matériau ou technique jugés utiles à l'application de ce dispositif.' En particulier, les parois peuvent comporter ou être constitués de tous circuits électriques ou électroniques (par exemple puces ou encre conductrice) l'alimentation de ces circuits pouvant être logée dans une ou plusieurs des butées de maintien, le lien entre ces butées ou les butées elles-mêmes pouvant être conducteurs. Dans le cas, par exemple, d'une utilisation de ce dispositif pour des jeux d'enfants, ces circuits peuvent commander divers sons ou lumières que l'enfant déclanche soit directement, soit par interactivité avec des personnages destinés à évoluer dans les volumes assemblés grâce au dispositif selon l'invention.
