Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a construction system module making it possible to be assembled with other modules by simple interlocking and / or hooking to produce various assemblies.
  • Construction modules are known on the market comprising assembly means of the female type on their lower face and assembly means of the male type on their upper face so as to allow the assembly of several modules by interlocking the means d '' male and female assembly.
  • the side faces are smooth and therefore inactive, that is to say that they do not allow to be coupled with faces of other modules. This limits the possibilities of assembly and construction.
  • the subject of the invention is a construction system module which makes it possible to assemble several modules not only by simple interlocking but also by hanging on their lateral faces so as to diversify the assembly possibilities with excellent stability.
  • a construction module characterized in that at least one lateral face has a female assembly member intended to cooperate with an assembly stud provided on a another module and comprising a body terminated by a head wider than this body, the female assembly member consisting of a recessed area which has a first part wider than the head of the assembly stud and a second part which has a width smaller than that of the head of the nipple and at least as large as the width of the body of the nipple, the second part having internally a housing arranged to receive with tightness the head of the assembly nipple.
  • the construction module according to the invention thus makes it possible to hang a module on a lateral face of another module and to produce in this way more varied and more elaborate assemblies than do the known construction modules with inactive lateral faces. .
  • the construction module according to the invention can have any shape.
  • the attached drawings show an exemplary embodiment of cubic shape.
  • the module is hollow and its base is open.
  • This module is characterized by active side faces, that is to say, they are equipped with means of assembly i males or females. More particularly, the upper face 1 and two consecutive lateral faces 3 and 4 each have an assembly stud 7 which comprises a body 71 terminated by a flat head 72 wider than the body 71.
  • the head 72 is advantageously square or octagonal.
  • the two other lateral faces 5 and 6 each have a female assembly member 8. This consists of a hollowed out area having a wide part 81 and a narrow part 82. The width of the part 81 is large enough to allow passage of the head 72 of an assembly stud 7.
  • the width of the part 82 is smaller than that of the head 72 of a stud 7 and at least as large as that of the body 71 of the stud.
  • the part 82 is fitted internally with a housing 83 for tightly receiving the head 72 of the assembly stud 7.
  • This internal housing is formed here by two ribs 84 (FIGS. 1 and 3) intended to enclose the head of the stud 7.
  • the interior housing can also be for example formed by a groove which extends around the periphery of the narrow part 82. This groove could be formed with a means, for example a narrowing, to ensure the tightening and / or retain the head of the nipple who would be slipped there.
  • the edge of the narrow part 82 can also be formed with one or more male or female elements, for example one or more retaining notches, to cooperate with one or more complementary elements formed on the body 71 of the assembly stud 7, by example one or more ribs or projections, so as to retain the body of the stud 7 whose head 72 is housed in the housing 83. Thanks to these arrangements according to the invention, it is possible to hang a module on a side face of another module by simply sliding the head 72 of an assembly stud 7 in the housing 83 which the narrow part 82 presents internally of a female zone 8 of the other module, the body 71 of the stud 7 being received in the opening of the narrow part 82, possibly with adequate tightening.
  • FIG. 4 shows a module 10A hung on the left lateral face of the module 10B, the stud 7A of the module 10A being retained in the housing 83B of the module 10B, thus achieving a stable assembly.
  • the side faces can be arranged in any number and with any distribution of the male and female assembly members. Either the base of the module or the two bases can also be fitted with interlocking members.
  • the upper base 1 of the module carries an assembly stud 7 like the lateral faces 3 and 4.
  • One or the other base of the module can also be fitted with one or more female interlocking members intended to each receive the head of an assembly stud.
  • the module illustrated in the accompanying drawings, for example, is hollow with its lower base 2 open and in the interior cavity of the module is formed an arrangement which provides a hollow interlocking means 9, of generally prismatic shape.
  • This interlocking member is advantageously formed by lamellae such as lamellae 91-94, which delimit an interior opening 95 for receiving and fitting onto the head 72 of an assembly stud 7 of another module.
  • the opening 95 is preferably slightly smaller than the surface of the nipple head so that when the head of a nipple is inserted into this opening 95, the ends of the lamellae 91-94 separate from one another to enclose between them the head of the stud as seen in Figure 4 on which there is a module 10C which is fitted on the module 10B.
  • the opening 95C of the socket member of the module 10C covers the head of the upper stud 7B of the module 10B.
  • the outer edge 96 of the strips is advantageously profiled towards the inside of the opening 95 so as to facilitate insertion and ensure the retention of the head of the assembly stud.
  • the edge of the heads of the nipples 7 is also profiled or rounded.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates two examples of assembly for a moving part.
  • a wheel 20 adapted on one side of a module 10 according to the invention.
  • an adapter 21 having a face fitted with a female assembly member 8 according to the invention and having an opposite face carrying a stud 22 intended to be housed tightly in an opening d 'a hub 23 on which can be placed the wheel 20 capable of freely rotating around said hub.
  • modules do not necessarily have to have a prismatic shape with a square or rectangular base, this base being able to be triangular or even of any polygonal shape and neither must they have a pure geometric shape as long as they have at least a suitable side face.
  • some modules can be made in the form of a figurine or any subject or motif.
  • FIG. 7 shows for example a module having the shape of a figurine.
  • the figurine 30 has its lower part 10 of prismatic shape arranged according to the invention.
  • the lateral faces are fitted with fastening members according to the invention.
  • the example shows three faces, two of which have a stud 7 and the front face has a female assembly member 8 as described above.
