Connecting member

Abstract

This article has recesses at both ends, and these ends are connected by a spring member. The spring member is embedded within the ends, and the ends of the spring member are not visible externally in terms of design, but they can be fixed in place by embedding the spring member when shaping the ends. Furthermore, locking parts may be provided inside the ends to increase strength. As described above, this article can be connected by inserting objects having corresponding protrusions into the recesses provided at both ends. For example, when connecting building block toys that have protrusions, previously only linear connections were possible, but now, within the range of freedom provided by the spring structure of this article, they can be moved and connected in three dimensions. This dramatically improves the creativity of building block toys. In addition, this article can be used not only for building block toys but also for connecting other components that have protrusions. Furthermore, by inserting a female screw member into the recess, it is possible to create a connection using a screw member. This allows for more reliable attachment and detachment to parts that use tools or screws, or parts with housings. Furthermore, by using attachment members with protrusions that can be inserted into recesses, a socket (with a recess) of a predetermined shape can be attached to an electronic circuit board at any desired position. This allows connection to components such as microcontroller boards (microcontroller boards have holes on their base, which can be used to secure the ends of this product with screws, etc.) and sensor modules with protrusions via this component. This allows for flexible adjustment of wiring and the mounting position of additional components, providing great convenience in electronics projects and prototyping. As described above, this product, with its recesses at both ends and embedded spring members, can be connected to components with various protrusion shapes, and has the advantage of enabling three-dimensional arrangement and movement based on the user's free ideas. It can also be used with screws and attached to electronic circuit boards such as microcontroller boards, and can be widely applied from hobby use to practical module assembly applications.
