Definitions

• the invention relates generally to the streamlined design of the supports for fun and / or didactic activities.
• the invention relates to an educational material, comprising a plurality of information carriers of identical dimensions, carrying at least partially different data.
• the invention aims to propose an alternative integration solution, allowing the use of the same hardware in several possible configurations and thus making this material suitable for the practice of several different games.
• each support takes the form of a board comprising an external frame, at least two internal frames, and at least four thumbnails bearing at least a portion of said data, in that the outer frame of each board has at least two main windows in each of which is inserted, so removable, one of said internal frames, in that each internal frame of each board has at least two auxiliary windows in each of which is inserted removably, one of said stickers, in that the main windows, the internal frames , the auxiliary windows and the thumbnails of all the boards have identical respective dimensions, the internal frames thus being interchangeable with each other and the vignettes thus being interchangeable with each other, and in that each insert constituted by an internal frame inserted into a main window or a thumbnail inserted in an auxiliary window is linked to the window in which it is inserted by a friction force exerted between the edge of this insert and the edge of this window.
• the outer frame, the internal frames, and the thumbnails of each board have an identical thickness, common to all boards.
• the outer frame, the internal frames, and the thumbnails of each board can for example have a thickness of between 0.8 and 12 millimeters, and preferably between 1.5 and 5 millimeters.
• each board by cutting a blank of cardboard, wood or plastic, this cutting being preferably made by punch or possibly laser or water jet.
• Each board has for example three main windows and three internal frames, each internal frame may have two auxiliary windows and two thumbnails.
• the main windows and the internal frames of each board are rectangular, while the auxiliary windows and the thumbnails of each internal frame are square.
• the material of the invention preferably comprises at least first and second sets of thumbnails, the thumbnails of the same set all bearing different data, even though each thumbnail of each of the first and second sets of thumbnails can carry data identical or corresponding to that of a sticker of the other of these first and second sets of stickers.
• FIG. 1 is a view of a first face that can present a board of a material according to the invention
• Figure 2 is a reduced scale view of a second face that can present a board of a material according to the invention
• - Figure 3 illustrates a first configuration that can take a material according to the invention and comprising two boards as illustrated in Figure 2;
• Figure 4 illustrates a second configuration that can take, and a manipulation that allows a material according to the invention and comprising two boards as illustrated in Figure 2.
• the invention relates to an educational material which comprises a plurality of information carriers of identical dimensions, these different media carrying data that differ at least partially from one medium to another.
• the invention is in no way limited to a particular semantic content, nor to any specific material form of these data, which therefore constitute extrinsic parameters to this invention.
• these data may be of a pictorial, alphabetical or digital nature, and they may as well be affixed to these supports by printing, by embossing or by any other technique.
• each support takes the form of a plate 1 which, in complete configuration, comprises an outer frame 2, two internal frames 3 or more, and at least four thumbnails 4, the data offered by this board being preferably exclusively worn by the vignettes 4.
• each board 1 has at least two main windows 20 of preferably elongated form, the embodiment illustrated in the figures having three main windows of rectangular shape.
• Each main window 20 receives an internal frame 3, of complementary shape to that of this window, and which is inserted removably.
• each inner frame 3 of each board 1 has at least two auxiliary windows 30 of triangular shape, square or having an even higher degree of symmetry.
• auxiliary windows 30 is inserted, removably, into each of these auxiliary windows 30.
• the main windows 20, the internal frames 3, the auxiliary windows 30, and the stickers 4 of all the boards 1 have respective respective dimensions.
• each internal frame 3 inserted in a main window 20 is connected to the window in which it is inserted by a friction force which is exerted between the peripheral edge of this inner frame and the edge of this main window.
• each sticker 4 inserted in an auxiliary window 30 is linked to the window in which it is inserted by a friction force which is exerted between the peripheral edge of this sticker and the edge of this auxiliary window.
• each board 1 is preferably made by punching a relatively flexible cardboard blank, the cut thus operating without loss of material or significant reduction in the dimensions of the parts undergoing cutting.
• external framework 2 internal frameworks 3, and the stickers 4 of each plate 1 have an identical thickness, common to all boards and for example between 0.8 and 12 millimeters, preferably between 1.5 and 5 millimeters and more preferably between 1.5 and 2.5 millimeters.
• the material of the invention comprises at least two sets of thumbnails 4 such that the thumbnails of the same set all carry different data, whereas each thumbnail of each of these sets carries data identical or corresponding to that of a thumbnail of the other set, the correspondence being established by any physical characteristic or any appropriate semantic relationship.
• each vignette of each of these sets is distinguishable from each other vignette of the same set, and identical or likely to be associated with one and only one vignette of the other set, whatever the nature and / or the shape of the data carried by the different thumbnails.
• FIG. 3 illustrates a configuration that can be adopted by a hardware compliant with the invention and comprising two boards as illustrated in FIG. 2, this configuration making it possible in this case to create spatial associations of internal frames, based on on the indistinguishable character of the adjacent vignettes carried by these frames 3, in the manner of a domino game.
• FIG. 4 illustrates another configuration that can be adopted by a material according to the invention and comprising two boards as illustrated in FIG.
• free thumbnails of any frame can be moved individually to each cover an identical or associated vignette, belonging to all the thumbnails carried by a complete plate 1.
• each of the thumbnails 4 may carry data on each of these two faces, this possibility further increasing the number of configurations offered by the material of the invention.
