Straightly assembled block that is easily coupled and resistant to wear

Abstract

The present invention relates to a straightly assembled block comprising engaging assembly means configured in male and female types, first ends of which can be coupled to each other, such that male and female piece blocks can be assembled by connecting the same to each other straightly, and the engaging assembly means are improved such that wear is prevented in spite of repeated separation/coupling, thereby maintaining continuous assembly power. To this end, the male and female piece blocks have engaging assembly means, first ends of which protrude in arc shapes, and the second ends of which are coupled to each other. Alternatively, connecting blocks have engaging assembly means formed on both ends thereof in different types. The engaging assembly means formed on the piece blocks or on the connecting blocks comprise a recessed portion and a protruding portion. Each of the recessed portion and the protruding portion has a guide means and a coupling means provided on both coupling surfaces thereof, respectively, the coupling means being guided along the guide means so as to engage, such that the same are connected on the same straight line. An incision hole for an elastic action is formed from a corner of the recessed portion toward the interior, on which a rotating shaft is formed, such that, when the protruding portion is guided and coupled, the incision hole is elastically operated so as to widen the recessed portion in the leftward/rightward outward direction, thereby preventing wear of the engaging coupling means.

(8) wherein an elastic hole 180 for an elastic action is formed from a corner of the recessed portion 141 toward an interior on which the rotating shafts 100a, 110a, and 120a are provided, such that when the protruding portion 142 is guided and coupled, the recessed portion 141 is elastically operated so as to be widened in a left/right outward direction, thereby preventing wear of the engaging coupling device 170.

(9) [Mode for Invention]

(10) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(11) As shown in FIG. 1, a straightly assembled block that is easily coupled and resistant to wear according to the present invention, which has a generally known configuration in which the straightly assembled block includes male and female piece blocks 100 and 110 having one end protruding in an arc shape and provided with rotating shafts 100a, 110a, and 120a so as to be rotatable, and an opposite end provided with engaging assembly devices 140 coupled to each other, or a connecting block 120 having both ends provided with different types of engaging assembly devices 140, the engaging assembly device 140 includes a recessed portion 141 and a protruding portion 142, and each of the recessed portion 141 and the protruding portion 142 is provided on both coupling surfaces 101, 111, and 121 thereof with a guide device 150 and a coupling device 160 guided along the guide device 150 so as to be engaged, so that the recessed portion 141 and the protruding portion 142 are connected to each other in a same straight line, wherein an elastic hole 180 for an elastic action is formed from a corner of the recessed portion 141 toward an interior on which the rotating shafts 100a, 110a, and 120a are provided, such that the recessed portion 141 is elastically operated so as to be widened in a left/right outward direction upon coupling, thereby preventing wear of the engaging coupling device 160.

(12) In this case, the recessed portion 141 is formed only on the female piece block 100 and one side of the connecting block 120, and the protruding portion 142 is formed on the male piece block 110 and an opposite side of the connecting block 120 where the recessed portion 141 is not formed.

(13) In addition, the guide device 150 is formed in the recessed portions 141 of the female piece block 100 and the connecting block 120, and provided in the form of a straight-line rail 153 formed on the same horizontal plane extending in a forward-rearward direction of the coupling surfaces 101 and 121 of the recessed portion 141, wherein protruding sills 151 and 152 are provided on upper and lower sides of the coupling surfaces 101 and 121, so that the rail 153 is provided in a space formed in the middle of upper and lower protruding sills 151 and 152.

(14) However, the present invention is not limited to the above structure of the rail 153, and although not shown in the drawings, the rail 153 may be provided in the coupling surfaces 101 and 121 in the form of a slide groove, while the rail 153 preferably has a rail structure including a protruding sill because of a structure for mold separation of injection molding.

(15) In addition, the coupling device 160 guided by the rail 153 of the guide device 150 has a protruding frame 161 provided on the coupling surfaces 111 and 121 of the protruding portions 142 of the male coupling block 110 and the connecting block 120, wherein the protruding frame 161 of the coupling device 160 is guided and introduced by the rail 153 of the guide device 150, so that the blocks are stably and easily assembled without being deviated.

(16) In this case, the male and female piece blocks 100 and 110 and the connecting block 120 have border walls 102, 112, and 122 and inner depressed surfaces 103, 113, and 123, which are depressed inward than the border walls 102, 112, and 122 by performing a coring process with respect to top and bottom surfaces thereof to have a wall thickness equal to a wall thickness of the border walls 102, 112, and 122, and the inner depressed surfaces 103, 113, and 123 have the elastic hole 180 formed in a portion connected to the corner of the recessed portion 141 by a cutting process so that the recessed portion 141 may perform the elastic action.

(17) In other words, due to the elastic hole 180 formed on an inner side of a connecting portion of the border wall that forms the recessed portion 141 and the inner depressed surface, a connection width of the connecting portion is narrowed, so that the elastic action may be performed.

(18) In more detail, one side of the elastic hole 180 is connected to the corner of the recessed portion 141 so as to form an opening, so that the elastic action may be performed while maintaining a structure for coupling the recessed portion 141.

(19) In this case, the elastic hole 180 may have a rectangular or circular shape so that the elastic hole 180 may be flexibly widened due to an elastic force.

(20) In other words, when the elastic hole 180 has a rectangular shape, the elastic hole 180 serves as a center for elastic widening that occurs at an outer corner of the elastic hole 180 where horizontal and vertical sides orthogonally meet each other, so that the elastic hole 180 is easily widened due to elasticity.

(21) In addition, when the elastic hole 180 has a circular shape, the elastic hole 180 is configured to have a shock-absorbing function so as to further enhance the elastic action of the recessed portion.

(22) In this case, the engaging coupling device 170 configured so as not to be arbitrarily separated when the blocks are assembled has latching grooves 104 and 124 formed in coupling surfaces 101 and 121 on which the guide devices 150 of the recessed portions 141 of the female piece block 100 and the connecting block 120 are provided, and a latching sill 161 latched to the latching grooves 104 and 124 and provided on side surfaces of the coupling devices 160 of the protruding portions 142 which are provided on the male piece block 110 and the connecting block 120.

(23) Therefore, the blocks are coupled to each other regardless of an assembly direction, and when the protruding portion of the recessed portion 141 is assembled, if the latching sill 161 provided on the protruding portion 142 is pressed while being latched to a front end of the recessed portion 141, the recessed portion 141 is momentarily widened by the elastic force, the protruding portion 142 fully enters the recessed portion 141, the latching 161 is latched to the latching grooves 104 and 124, and the recessed portion 141 is restored in a latched state, so that a coupling process is performed in a rigid latching structure.
