AN EMBODIMENT HAVING CAPABILITY OF MOVING IN 3 AXIS (X, Y, Z) AND

FREEDOM OF CONVERTIBILITY TO GEOMETRIC FORMS

Technical Field

The invention is related to an embodiment including a core structure having potential of moving in three axis and which can be used in many different fields like construction, machinery, furniture and toy sector, which can provide feature of being static without additional connection need to the multi laterals except triangle and which can obtain static and kinetic structural bodies in different forms and volumes by splicing the core structure.

State of the Art

Today node designs are formed in desired angles or in constant angles. Therefore, nodes can't be used for another project or are detached and re-attached. Current combinations are detached to switch to another form from a form and re-attached for a new geometric sequence. Final product can only be used in static solutions.

For example, it can be used in the desired sector by forming connection points thanks to sphere or rod-shaped structures on which many parts can be fixed. However, these structures can't be used often in all areas as production and installation of them include significant course and they also don't have feature of flexible use.

Additional connection element should be produced to make stable the polyhedrons that are different from triangle. Building systems formed by kinetic nodes are not obtained by over constrained mechanisms but generally obtained by spring systems or propelled systems (rotation or translation). Also, three-way action can't be obtained.

Over constrained mechanisms are the mechanisms that gain freedom by minimum material when required geometric principle is provided. Today these mechanisms are used as nodes, both stable and kinetic structures are obtained by allowing creation of different volumes and also static and kinetic rigid structures movable in x, y and z can be configured.

An application numbered TR2011/06940 has been found in a patent search about combining elements. In the abstract section of this application it is stated that the invention is a game equipment connection sphere used in struts i.e. pipe, profile, lath belonging to game group or park elements i.e. swing poles, slide, railing, platform, and it comprises at least one chassis frame, at least one node in the said chassis frame, and foot having a connection head positioned onto said node and/or installation element.

The patent application numbered US 3,521 ,421 is related to a hinge-type structure fixed with contact bars to be used in a 4-surface structure. It is also related to another type of hinge fixed in a way to move axially with wings of the hinge-type structure fixed with said contact bars.

Again, another patent application numbered US 3,771 ,274 is related to a core structure providing contact with multiple contact bars and multiple connection lugs formed on said core structure.

The U.S patent numbered US4276726 discloses a folding, hinged structure consisting of ring-type structures connected axially to each other. In this montage structure, the wall has a suitable planar surface for hanged promotional posters. The wall is about a structure located in short package of rings parallel to each other.

As a result, the need for the embodiments convertible to different geometric forms thanks to nodes they comprise, and the insufficiency of the present solutions make it necessary to carry out development in the related technical field.

Purposes of the invention

Different from the present embodiments used in the state of the art, the purpose of the invention is to have different technical features bringing a new expansion in this field. Another purpose of the invention is not only to allow static solutions but also to allow forming folding (deployable/kinetic) structural systems.

Another purpose of the invention is to provide statically standing feature to polygons (square, quadrangle, pentagon and hexagon) different from triangle and polyhedral different from triangular prism without using additional bond element.

Another purpose of the invention is to be used as an industrial product for a lot of sectors (clean energy, medical, robotic, construction, nanotechnology).

Another purpose of the invention is to cause dependent motion relative to each other of all axles connected to the node effecting to all nodes of the pressure applied to one point when all particles are dependent on each other (3D behavior- for example x, y, z axles change according to each other).

The minimum core structure to achieve above mentioned purposes consists of combination of at least 6 connection levers which can form an embodiment having mobility in 3 axes (x, y, and z) and having freedom with minimum material because of its geometric principles. The characteristic of this connection lever is that it is designed considering that it will be articulated to each other in a way one of them will be rotated in x axis and the other will be rotated in y axis on end points. Thus, when the other connection lever in the structure with same features is articulated and six of them are combined to each other, a freedom will be obtained and an embodiment rotating 360° will be provided. This embodiment can be used in several variations, but this said geometric principle should be always protected. In this way, it contains a core structure having 6 connection levers. In case number of same connection lever is bigger than 6 (8- 0), it contains core structure with different freedom.

Structural and characteristic features and all advantages of the invention will be clearly understood thanks to Figures given below and detailed description written by making reference to said Figures; therefore, evaluation should be done considering said Figures and detailed description.

Detailed Description of the Invention

The invention is an embodiment having capability of moving in 3 axis (x, y, z) and having a freedom of convertibility to different geometric forms, characterized in having a connection lever (10) having a vertical vanishing point (14) in one side and having a horizontal vanishing point (15) in other side, and core structure (A) having at least 6 connection levers (10) connected so as to form a rotating movement with the vertical axle axis (11) to be formed between two connection levers (10) and positioned vertically to the horizontal and vertical axle axes (11 ,12) formed among other connection levers (10). The present invention is especially an embodiment formed by combining the core structures (A) having at least 6 connection levers (10) connected with the other connection levers (10) with the same principle and providing rotation movement with the vertical axle axis (11) to be formed between two connection levers (10), having capability of moving in 3 axis (x, y, z), having a connection lever (10) having a vertical vanishing point (14) in one side and having a horizontal vanishing point (15) in the other side, and characterized in including A1 and A2 surfaces opposite to each other, which provide the geometric embodiment formed by at least by 2 core structures (A) being static or kinetic, according to the connection types, connected to each other by at least one stabilizer bar (22) and/or contact connection (18).

The connection levers (10) having equal distance (13) between said horizontal axle axis (12) comprise connection slots (16) providing the movement and fixing of the said levers (10) and formed on the levers (10), mounting clearances (17) providing movement and fixing of the said levers (10) and an contact connection (18) formed on the axle distance (13) on any one of the said connection levers (10) or on the vertical/horizontal (11 , 12) axles.

Installation and usage of the core structure (A) is as follows;

Each connection lever (10) has a vertical vanishing point (14) and a horizontal vanishing point (15) (see Figure 3 and 4). Connection slot (16) and mounting clearances (17) are formed in these vanishing points (14, 15). Preferably, one or more contact connections (18) are formed on any of connection levers (10) and the core structure (A) is fixed with the other core structures (A) by means of this contact connection (18) or stabilizer bars (22). Thus, different static and kinetic forms and volumes can be obtained according to the principle of interconnecting core structures. The said interconnection principle is steadily connecting a core structure (A) with another core structure (A).

In Figure 1 , 3D view of the core structure of the embodiment consisting of at least 6 levers is illustrated. At least 6 connection levers (10) are used in the core structure (A) and using of stabilizer bar (22) for fixing the levers (10) is possible, if this core structure (A) is used. In Figure 2, view of the connection levers (10) fixed movable in the vertical axle axis

(11) in directions a, b is illustrated. Other ends of the levers (10) are connected by forming a vertical angle to the vertical axle axis (11) point.

In Figure 5 and 5.1 , view of the equal distance (13) between the horizontal axle axes

(12) of the levers (10) forming the core structure (A), is illustrated. Each of the connection levers ( 0) are connected to each other with an equal axle distance (13). As a result of connecting at least 6 connection levers (10), the core structure (A) is formed (see Figure 1).

It is possible to compose different static and kinetic forms by obtaining multiple connection details after interconnecting 8 and/or 10 and/or 12 or more of the connection levers (10) forming the core structure (A), and interconnecting them via fixing bars (22) or fixing them by means of contact connection (18).

In Figures 7, 7.1 , 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4, views that show usage of the core structure with 6 levers in 0°, 60°, 90°, 108° and 120° angles, are illustrated. In Figure 6, representative view of the core structure (A) in a simplified situation is illustrated. In this view, it is clearly indicated that connection levers (10) are connected to each other in different vertical axis.

In Figure 8, view of the prismatic structure (19) having 4 surfaces obtained by the core structure (A), in Figure 9, representative view of the cubic structure (20) having 6 surfaces obtained by the core structure (A) and in Figure 10, representative view of the polygonal structure (21) having multiple surfaces, is illustrated. The embodiment in Figure 11 is the disconnected view on the plane of the prismatic structure (19) in Figure 8. The embodiment in Figure 12 is the disconnected view on the plane of the cubic structure (20) in Figure 9. The embodiment in Figure 13 is the disconnected view on the plane of the polygonal sided structure (21) in Figure 10.

Different variations can be obtained by the core structure (A) formed as a result of connecting the connection levers (10) in different vertical angles relative to each other. A variation having movement potential in 3 axes (x, y, z) is obtained, when 6 levers are combined with each other. In the horizontal axle axis (12) and/or vertical axle axis (11), more than 2 connection levers can be connected in same axis without damaging the geometric principle, and 3D different geometric formed core structures (A) can be composed by covering around with panels.

A static structure can be formed in this system by fixing 2 or more than 2 core structures (A) with 6 connection levers to each other by means of said stabilizer bar (22) or contact connection (18). This is possible if A1 and A2 surfaces of the core structure (A) are used. The structure becomes static as a result of combining a core structure (A) that A1 surface is turned round with another core structure (A) that A2 surface is turned round. To give motion in a similar way to the structure, a core structure (A) that A1 surface is turned round should be fixed with another core structure (A) that A1 surface is turned round, when core structure (A) with 6 units 6 connection levers (10) are fixed to each other via said stabilizer bar (22) or contact connection (18) (Figure-15). If number of said connection levers (10) is more than 6, static and kinetic forms and volumes with similar logic can be obtained. These volumes can be formed by fixing core structures having different number of connection levers (10) to each other (A) in different numbers.

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, in order to provide said core structures (A) to be static within themselves, it can be combined by a core structure (A) with a second different scale or by a different fixing apparatus.
