Description

MODULE BUILDING SYSTEM 1. DESCRIPTION
Concerning a new module-buildingsystem wherin identical modules are themselves link and buildingstone.
5.
A renovation in the field of construction, more specifi¬ cally a buildingsystem with identical modules that are themselves link and buildingstone.
10. With respect to the state of the art, up to now identi¬ cal square plates are still linked side by side by means of individual linking elements an this as well two-as three-dimensional. In this invention, on the other hand, identical modules
15. are provided with linking elements in such a manner that by linking them, those modules are themselves link and buildingstone.
The subject for which protection is requested concerns
20. a new module-building system wherin the modules are them¬ selves linking-element and buildingstone. The module-building system enables al well a two-as a threedimensional link. Each basic module from the building system is identical.
25. The module-building system for which protection is re¬ quested has the technical characterestic of a new inven¬ tion for linking and combining identical square plates side by side, and. this as well two-as threedimensional, without the need of seperate linking-elements.
30 The basic modules may be combined or linked by means of a pin and hole.
To simplify the explanation of this module-building sys¬ tem a basic module will first be described. Each basic module has a square plate as its basis.
35 The square plate of each basic module is provided with two pins and two grooves.
Each basic module is a square plate of which two opposite sides are connected with a flat pin by means of a hinge 1. or a flexible strip and of which the other opposite sides are provided with a flat groove.
The flat grooves on two opposite sides of the square plate of a basis module are parallel with the two square planes
5. of the basic module and are situated centrally between these square planes.
The flat pins, linked to two opposite sides of the square plate by means of a hinge or a flexible strip, (two rec¬ tangles) may be parallel with the two squares of the basic
10. module and are than in the plane that is situated central¬ ly between the square planes.
The hinge-lines of the hinges or the flexible strips on two opposite sides of the square plane are in the central plane, which is situated between the two parallel square
15. planes, and are parallel to one of the longest sides of the rectangles of these sides of the square plane. The flat pins can be rotated from 0° to 90° with regard to the square sides of the square plate of the basic mo¬ dules by means of of flexible strip or hinge and they
20. normally rotate around a hinge-line parallel with the longest sides of the rectangles of these sides of the square plate.
The pins are always equal to or smaller than the grooves, they are mostly like positive and negative.
25. The module-building system can than be extended to the linking of two or more basic modules.
Two basic modules (identical modules) are linkable by means of a pin and hole. Two basic modules are linkable by sliding the pin of one
30. basic module into the groove of the other.
In linking two basic modules the squares of the square planes of thes basic modules are side by side. By two linked basic modules the square plates of the ba¬ sic module may be in one and the same plane, or they may
35. be in different planes which may differ from one another from 0° to 90°, and this is possible because of the hinge or the flexible strip which links the modules. Usually two basic modules are linked other in the same 1. plane or in two perpendicular planes.
The linking system that can be used for linking two basic modules, can be used for more basic modules.
The linking of more basic modules is possible as well for
5. a two-as a threedimensional link.
It is possible to link six basic modules in order to ob¬ tain a cube if the pins of the basic modules are flexible. It is also possible to link six basic modules in order to obtain a cube when the pins of the basic modules are not
10. flexible, under the condition that one of these basic mo¬ dules is two jointed..
A basic module is two-jointed if one of the two pins con¬ nected with its hinge or flexible strip. can be removed from the basic module.
15. In a cube-linking in which the pins of the basic module are not flexible, the individual, loose pin, that is lin¬ ked tot the hinge or the flexible strip, is the closing part of the cube. Within this module-building system you can find, beside
20. these basic modules and two-jointed basic modules, still other sorts of modules.
These modules differ from the basic modules by the absen¬ ce of one or two pins and/or one or two grooves. In this way it is possible that such a module only has
25. one pin and/or groove or even has one of them.
These modules, which are different from the basic modules, are particlarly useful for extremities of basic-module- linkings wherin no pins and/or grooves are requested. Modules without pins and/or grooves may also serve as
30. consolidation of some basic- odule-linkings.
With respect to the state of the art this module-building- system is a system that permits to link square plates as well in a two-as in a threedimensional manner, side by side, without the help of individual linking elements nor
35. any other material. 1. Description of the drawing

1. Example of an embodimentof a basic module of the module building-system.
First embodiment :
Each basic module consists of three parts. 5. One part is a square plate of which the four sides are provided with an identical groove (see drawing p. 1-9
FIG. 1.1 and FIG. 2.5).
The two other parts are two flaps with a hinge or flexi¬ ble strip inbetween them (see drawing p. 1-9 FIG. 1.2-3-4) 10. The two flaps are fixed in the opposite grooves of the square plates in such a way that f,rom both flaps the hinge or flexible strip remain "visible.
The flaps are glued, nailed are screwed into the grooves or they are fixed by means of pegs, according to the ap- 15. plication.
Second embodiment :
Basically this is identical to the first application, their is only a difference with respect to the square plates. 20. The square plate of the basic module is bevelled on 45° on its four sides. The bevelled sides form a right angle.
In this application the basic module linkings, like eg. a cube, have a more solid construction. (see drawings p. 18 and . 19). 25. Third embodiment :
The basic module consists of four parts : two flaps and two square plates.
They are linked in such a manner that the basic-module becomes identical to the one in the first application. 1. The module buildingsystem can be used for industrial pur¬ poses in several ways.
First of all the mosticle buildingsystem can be used as an educational toy for children.
5. The idea, is that each child in a nursery class has its own cube, has its own seat, its own storage space and it own buildingsystem (the composition of the basic modules) In a class with twenty-five children there would be twen¬ ty-five cubes available, which means hundred and fifty
10. modules with which a lot of things can be build.
The basic module can be printed for several purposes, depending on the choice of the material. The module buildingsystem can also be used to build cer¬ tain pieces of furniture and/or objects.
15. And it may be useful in the arrangement of shop-windows, in displays, interiors etc...

25. the square plates of the basic modules may be situated in the same plane and may also be situated in different pla¬ nes that can rotate from 0° to 90° with respect to one another, and this by means of the hinge-or flexible strip that links both basic modules.
30. The linking of two basic modules is characterised in that generally, it is in one and the same plane or in to pla¬ nes which are perpendicular to one another. The linking of more basic modules is characterised by the linking of two modules.
35. The linking of more basic modules is characterised by the possibility of linking as well in a twodimensional as in a threedimensional manner. A cuble-linking is characterised by the linking of siχ-ba- T- sic modules into a cube, supposing that the pins are flex¬ ible.
A cube-linking is characterised by a linking of six basic modules into a cube if the pins are not flexible under
5. the condition that one of the basic modules is two-join^- ted.
A two-jointed basic module is characterised by the pos¬ sibility of removing one of the pins linked to its hinge or flexible strip. -
TO, A cube-linking wherin the pins of the basic module are not flexible is characterised by the fact that the loose pin, connected to the hinge or flexible strip of the two- jointed basic modules, is the closing part of the cube linking.
15. The basic modules may be linked into a plane, a cube, a beam or into compositions of planes, cubes and beams. Up to now basic modules have a square as their basic form, also basic modules that have a rectangle as basic form, in combination with the ordinary basic modules, may
20. also be useful for the construction of a beam.
The material, the colour and the printing may be chosen freely for each module.
The module buildingsystem Is a buildingsystem that is, on the one hand useful as a toy, as an educational toy,
25. but on the other hand it can also be appropriate as a de¬ corative element in furniture design, interiors, decora¬ tion, etc...
