Definitions

  • This description refers to modular sets consisting of pieces that can be coupled to each other to compose multiple structures in space.
  • Construction kits consisting of multiple pieces configured to fit together in order to form various figures in two or three dimensions. These types of games develop various skills in children, as well as the coordination of body parts, the senses such as sight and touch, and especially the imagination.
  • the present modular set consists of a series of pieces that can be coupled together.
  • Each of the pieces of the modular game can be three-dimensionally symmetrical, for example, inscribable in a sphere.
  • Each piece has at least three pairs of faces arranged in different planes, for example, six faces in a cube-shaped configuration, although many other geometric shapes are possible.
  • the faces of each piece of the modular set can be flat, for example, or they can be curved, constituting, for example, pieces in the form of a sphere, or present another configuration.
  • the pieces of the present modular set can be hollow or solid, or partially hollow, as desired.
  • Each pair of faces of each piece of the present modular set is formed by a first face that presents a projection which projects outwards from the piece, and a second face symmetrically opposite the first face, which presents a cavity whose shape is complementary to the shape of the protrusion of the first face.
  • This configuration of projections and cavities allows coupling several parts to each other by inserting the projection of one part in the cavity of a different part.
  • the cavities formed in the faces of the game pieces may have more or less depth as desired.
  • the cavity of at least one of the faces of the part can extend along at least part of a dimension of the part, for example, along all or part of the width, from the height, length, or diameter of the part, depending on the particular geometry of the part.
  • a cavity of the part can be formed defining a slot or female track adapted for the insertion of a corresponding male projection on another face of another part.
  • the formation of grooves as a particular case of cavities in the pieces allows the coupling of pieces to each other, making a displacement between them to the total fit of the pieces, forming a compact and stable structure of various pieces in three dimensions without empty spaces, that is, without discontinuity.
  • the slot may have at least one internal projection.
  • This internal projection can be suitably configured to retain parts temporarily coupled to each other in position, with the possibility of releasing them when desired.
  • the projection has a suitable coupling surface, such as a curve, or formed by two inclined planes, for example, for easy disengagement of the parts.
  • the projection and the cavity of the faces of the part are in the shape of a letter.
  • each pair of faces in a piece has a first face with a projection and a second face with a cavity, the projection and cavity having a complementary shape corresponding to the letter X in a first pair, the letter And in a second pair, and the letter Z in a third pair.
  • This configuration makes it possible to couple several pieces arranged together aligned on at least three different axes x, y, z in space, as indicated above.
  • the faces of each pair of faces can be arranged opposite each other in the piece. Other arrangements of the faces of each pair in the part are possible.
  • faces of different pieces may have the same color characteristic, or relief, or texture. That is to say, each face in which there is a unique letter can be assigned the same color, relief, or texture, for example, although other finishes are possible to differentiate faces with different projection shapes and cavities.
  • a first color can be applied for the face that has the highlight with the letter X and for the face that has the cavity with the letter X, a second color for the face that has the highlight with the letter Y and for the face that has the cavity with the letter Y, and a third color for the face that has the highlight with the letter Z and for the face that has the cavity with the letter Z.
  • it can be used relief, texture, other finishes, etc.
  • At least one face of the part has one or more holes for inserting other different parts.
  • Said holes may be formed, for example, in the center of each face of the part and, in particular, in an area of at least one of the projections, such as a central area.

The game can be played by teams if the number of players is even. If a face 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160 of one piece 100 cannot be attached to another face 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160 of another piece 100, the player looks to see if there is another piece 100 with a face 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160 of the same color or with a projection 1 11, 121, 131 or a cavity 141, 151, 161 in the same way as that of the part 100 where it is to be connected. If there isn't, the turn passes. The objective is thus to build a structure using all 100 pieces avoiding being blocked or eliminated by another player, so that the first player who runs out of 100 pieces wins.

Abstract

Le jeu modulaire est constitué d'une série de pièces, chaque pièce présentant au moins trois paires de faces disposées dans des plans différents. Chaque paire de faces est formée d'une première face qui présente une partie saillante qui se projette vers l'extérieur de la pièce, et une face symétriquement opposée à la première et qui présente une cavité dont la forme est complémentaire de celle de la partie saillante de la première face, pour permettre l'accouplement de diverses pièces entre elles de manière qu'elles restent alignées en au moins trois axes distincts. Le jeu permet de faciliter la compréhension de l'espace vectoriel, ainsi que des règles algébriques de base, pour offrir une formation aux futurs élèves.
