En référence aux figures 1 à 4, un module articulé 10 est composé de deux éléments de support 12, 14 reliés l'un à l'autre par une liaison d'articulation 16 autorisant un mouvement de pivotement relatif selon l'arête commune des deux éléments 12, 14. Dans le sens de pivotement F1 , les deux faces latérales 12a, 14a adjacentes des éléments 12, 14 viennent en contact l'une avec l'autre pour obtenir la configuration de la figure 2. Dans le sens de pivotement opposé F2, les autres faces latérales 12b, 14b opposées viennent en contact l'une avec l'autre pour obtenir la configuration de la figure 3.Referring to Figures 1 to 4, an articulated module 10 is composed of two support elements 12, 14 connected to each other by an articulation link 16 allowing a relative pivoting movement along the common edge of the two elements 12, 14. In the pivoting direction F1, the two lateral faces 12a, 14a adjacent to the elements 12, 14 come into contact with each other to obtain the configuration of FIG. 2. In the opposite pivoting direction F2, the other opposite lateral faces 12b, 14b come into contact with each other to get the configuration of figure 3.
Les éléments de support 12, 14 du module articulé 10 sont symétriques par rapport à un plan passant par l'axe de pivotement de la liaison d'articulation 16. Ils présentent une forme de polyèdre.The support elements 12, 14 of the articulated module 10 are symmetrical with respect to a plane passing through the pivot axis of the articulation link 16. They have a polyhedron shape.
Chaque élément de support 12, 14 comporte deux deux éléments de support 12, 14 reliés l'un à l'autre par une liaison d'articulation 1 6 12c, 12d ; 14c, 14d rejoignant les faces latérales 12a, 1 4a ; 1 2b, 14b correspondantes pour constituer le polyèdre.Each support element 12, 14 comprises two two support elements 12, 14 connected to each other by an articulation link 1 6 12c, 12d; 14c, 14d joining the side faces 12a, 1 4a; 1 2b, 14b corresponding to constitute the polyhedron.
La base 12e, 14e des éléments de support 12, 14 est parallèle à l'axe de pivotement, et présente une section carrée munie d'un premier moyen d'assemblage formé par un orifice 18 pour l'introduction d'une première pièce de jonction 20 (représentée à la figure 4) .The base 12e, 14e of the support elements 12, 14 is parallel to the pivot axis, and has a square section provided with a first assembly means formed by an orifice 18 for the introduction of a first piece of junction 20 (shown in Figure 4).
Chacune des faces latérales et transversales des éléments de support 12, 14 est équipée d'un deuxième moyen d'assemblage comprenant une rainure 22 destinée à recevoir une deuxième pièce de jonction 24 en forme de plot. Les quatre rainures 22 des faces latérales et transversales des éléments de support 12, 1 4 débouchent sur la base carrée 12e, 14e correspondante. L'assemblage de plusieurs modules articulés 10 identiques permet la réalisation d'objets de configurations variables grâce à l'emploi des pièces de jonction 20, 24.Each of the lateral and transverse faces of the support elements 12, 14 is equipped with a second assembly means comprising a groove 22 intended to receive a second junction piece 24 in the form of a stud. The four grooves 22 of the lateral and transverse faces of the support elements 12, 1 4 open onto the corresponding square base 12e, 14e. The assembly of several identical articulated modules 10 allows the production of objects of variable configurations thanks to the use of junction pieces 20, 24.
Sur la figure 4, les pièces de jonction 24 permettent l'assemblage des modules 10 au niveau des faces latérales ou transversales des éléments de support 12, 14.In FIG. 4, the junction pieces 24 allow the modules 10 to be assembled at the lateral or transverse faces of the support elements 12, 14.
Sur la figure 5, deux modules 10 identiques selon la figure 3 peuvent être raccordés au niveau de leurs bases 12e, 14e respectives par deux pièces de jonction 20. Les arêtes des bases 12e, 14e accolées sont ainsi alignées.In FIG. 5, two identical modules 10 according to FIG. 3 can be connected at their respective bases 12e, 14e by two connecting pieces 20. The edges of the bases 12e, 14e joined together are thus aligned.
Sur la figure 6, deux modules 10 identiques selon la figure 1 peuvent être raccordés au niveau de leurs bases 12e par une pièce de jonctionIn Figure 6, two identical modules 10 according to Figure 1 can be connected at their bases 12e by a connecting piece
24.24.
Sur la figure 7, quatre modules 10 peuvent être raccordés au niveau de leurs faces latérales ou transversales sur un module 10 central grâce à quatre pièces de jonction 24 disposées en croix dans les rainures 22.In FIG. 7, four modules 10 can be connected at their lateral or transverse faces on a central module 10 by means of four junction pieces 24 arranged crosswise in the grooves 22.
La figure 8 représente des vues en élévation, en plan et de profil d'un mode de réalisation d'un module 100, dans lequel l'une des faces transversales est orthogonale à la base carrée 12e, 14e, tandis que l'autre face transversale de chaque élément 12, 14 est oblique. Dans le module 200 de la figure 9, les deux faces transversales de chaque élément articulé du module 200 sont parallèles entre elles, e t orthogonales à la base carrée 12e, 14e .FIG. 8 represents views in elevation, in plan and in profile of an embodiment of a module 100, in which one of the transverse faces is orthogonal to the square base 12e, 14e, while the other face transverse of each element 12, 14 is oblique. In the module 200 of FIG. 9, the two transverse faces of each articulated element of the module 200 are parallel to each other, and orthogonal to the square base 12e, 14e.
Les figures 10 à 12 montrent divers assemblages géométriques de plusieurs modules pour la réalisation d'objets spécifiques, donnés à titre d'exemples.Figures 10 to 12 show various geometric assemblies of several modules for the production of specific objects, given as examples.
En référence à la figure 13, les éléments de support 12, 14 d'un module 10 sont réalisés au moyen d'une matière plastique moulée, e t la liaison d'articulation 16 fine et souple dans la partie médiane vient directement de moulage.With reference to FIG. 13, the support elements 12, 14 of a module 10 are produced by means of a molded plastic material, and the fine and flexible articulation link 16 in the middle part comes directly from molding.
Sur la figure 14, une charnière 1 16 est encliquetée sur les deux éléments 12, 14 séparés.In Figure 14, a hinge 1 16 is snapped onto the two separate elements 12, 14.
Sur la figure 15, la charnière 226 est constituée par un axe cylindrique assujetti le long de l'arête commune des prismes.In FIG. 15, the hinge 226 is constituted by a cylindrical axis secured along the common edge of the prisms.
Sur les figures 16 à 18, les deux éléments de support 12, 14 du module 30 à liaison d'articulation 16, comportent des faces transversales en formes de triangles rectangles isocèles, dont l'angle au sommet est droit, et dont les côtés adjacents forment avec l'hypoténuse un angle de 45°. Un angle droit est constitué au niveau de la charnière 16 lorsque les faces latérales viennent en contact l'une avec l'autre dans chacune des positions de la figure 17 ou 18. Le module est équipé de moyens d'assemblage 31 solidaires ou adaptables aux éléments de support 12, 14, et logés dans les rainures 22. Ce système permet l'assemblage de faces carrées 12e, 14e entre elles, mais également (voir figure 25) l'assemblage de ces mêmes faces avec les autres faces latérales d'un module identique, indépendamment de l'angle entre les faces 12, 12b, et 14, 14b de celui-ci. Le module 30 peut ainsi être assemblé à un autre module 30 sans apport d'éléments de jonction.In FIGS. 16 to 18, the two support elements 12, 14 of the module 30 with articulation link 16, comprise transverse faces in the form of isosceles right triangles, whose angle at the top is straight, and whose adjacent sides form an angle of 45 ° with the hypotenuse. A right angle is formed at the hinge 16 when the lateral faces come into contact with each other in each of the positions of FIG. 17 or 18. The module is equipped with assembly means 31 integral with or adaptable to the support elements 12, 14, and housed in the grooves 22. This system allows the assembly of square faces 12e, 14e therebetween, but also (see FIG. 25) the assembly of these same faces with the other lateral faces of an identical module, regardless of the angle between the faces 12, 12b, and 14, 14b thereof. The module 30 can thus be assembled with another module 30 without the addition of junction elements.
Les figures 19 et 20 sont des vues analogues aux figures 8 et 9 de deux modules 300, 400 avec des angles de 45°. Les figures 21 à 23 montrent divers exemples de configurations possibles faisant usage du module 30 des figures 16 à 18.Figures 19 and 20 are views similar to Figures 8 and 9 of two modules 300, 400 with angles of 45 °.

Sur la figure 24, quatre modules 30 peuvent être raccordés au niveau de leurs faces latérales ou transversales sur un module 30 central grâce à quatre pièces de jonction 24 disposées en croix dans les rainures 22.In FIG. 24, four modules 30 can be connected at their lateral or transverse faces on a central module 30 by means of four junction pieces 24 arranged crosswise in the grooves 22.
Les modules décrits précédemment peuvent être utilisés dans le domaine des jouets et jeux, sous des formes matérielles ou informatiques. The modules described above can be used in the field of toys and games, in hardware or computer forms.
