| (54) | adherent parts for composition and/or construction games |
| (57) The invention herein consists of adherent parts for composition and/or construction
games. Parts can be made of wood or plastic, foam, EVA, fibreboard and can further be made of any other flexible material with adherent strips of material between them on a number of their sides. These parts have strips of adherent material on some of their edges which, as it is known, have small bristles or flexible hooks on one side and fibres on the other, such that on joining the side with the hooks to the side with the fibres they stick together by applying only light pressure, and when pulled, detach quite easily. This invention falls within the scope of construction games. |
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Parts can be made of wood or plastic, foam, EVA, fibreboard and can further be made of any other flexible material with adherent strips of material between them on a number of their sides. These parts have strips of adherent material on some of their edges which, as it is known, have small bristles or flexible hooks on one side and fibres on the other, such that on joining the side with the hooks to the side with the fibres they stick together by applying only light pressure, and when pulled, detach quite easily.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Construction games for children often have parts that are joined together in a particular, predefined manner, in one direction or position.
[0005] We are looking for a system that allows us greater flexibility and creativity than the classic constructions.
ADVANTAGES OF THIS INVENTION
[0006] The main advantages, by way of illustration but without limitation, which are obtained with this invention are set forth below, namely:
- Cheap.
- Easy.
- Resistant.
- Versatile.
- Firm.
- Scalable.
- Creative.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] To complete the description that has been made and for a better understanding of this specification, the accompanying drawings are appended which show an example of a nonlimiting, preferred embodiment of the object of the invention and in which:
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of three basic parts of the invention in the form of polyhedra, rectangular, triangular and pentagonal.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of two types of columns, one prismatic square section and another cylindrical.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of square blocks with convexly rounded corners allowing joints with a rotation angle up to 90°.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of blocks intended to form bottom surfaces.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of one corner, with a number or all sides being adherent.
Figure 6 shows sheets of adherent material.
[0008] In the illustrations, we differentiate the two parts of the adherent material (bristles and material respectively) by using the letters A and B, although there can be many variations for the position of the adherent materials.
DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE
INVENTION
[0009] The parts can be any shape: square, rectangle, bar or pillar, cube, prism, triangle, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, star, circle, shapes of objects (tree, person ...), or other shapes.
[0010] The joining edges of some parts can be slightly curved outwards (see Fig. 3) allowing joints with a rotation angle of up to 90 degrees.
[0011] Adherent materials can be on the lower base, in addition to being on the edges, on the blocks intended to form bottom surfaces (Fig. 4). 4).
[0012] The parts have adherent material on some strategic edges, such that when joining the opposite sides thereof they stick together, making it possible to create non-predefined complex constructions very easily.
Materials used which can have one or several colours:
[0013]
- Parts made of wood or plastic, foam, EVA, fibreboard can further be made of any other differently coloured material, which can be flexible.
- Adherent strips of material placed on certain edges of the parts.
[0015] For special models, each part can have one part of a drawing to form the whole image, like a 3D puzzle, or different parts of a whole, such as for example, the parts of a house, which on joining them together will form the house in different forms.
Function:
1. Adherent parts for composition and/or construction games having shapes of objects
or geometric shapes, such as a square, rectangle, bar or pillar, cube, prism, triangle,
rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, star, circle, characterised by having all or part of their perimeter covered with strips of adherent material, making
it possible to stick them and detach them forming non-predefined constructions.
2. Adherent parts for composition and/or construction games, according to claim one,
characterised by having a number of their joining edges curving outwards.
3. Adherent parts for composition and/or construction games, according to preceding claims,
characterised in that they are embodied in wood, plastic, foam, EVA, fibreboard and can further be made
of any other flexible material.
4. Adherent parts for composition and/or construction games, according to preceding claims,
characterised in that the elements that form the bottom surfaces have adherent strips on their edges and
on the lower base.
5. Adherent parts for composition and/or construction games, according to preceding claims,
characterised in that the parts can be decorated with colours or drawings which, when attached to the other
parts, form a complete graphical representation.
