Abstract
An electro-mechanical housing for forming electronic components' wire leads to make plug-together parts or building blocks using only the wire leads of the electronic components to make electronic circuits incorporated in the mechanical structures. A reusable electro-mechanical plug that has means for attaching external devices to the plug-together parts or building blocks using only the wire leads from these external devices and a non-conductive housing to form an electro-mechanical plug.
Claims17
1) An electro-mechanical block housing system comprising:
- a first housing having a top, a bottom, a front, a back, a first side, a second side and an interior;
- at least one opening and at least a first post located on the top of the housing;
- an electrical wire inserted within the interior of the housing wherein the electrical wire at least partially wraps around the first post at the top of the housing;
- wherein the first post of the housing may mechanically connect with an opening at the bottom of a second housing;
- and
- wherein the electrical wire of the first housing may make electrical contact with a second wire of the second housing.
4) An electro-mechanical block housing system comprising:
- a first housing having a top, a bottom, a front, a back, a first side, a second side and an interior;
- at least two openings and at least a first post and a second post located on the top of the housing;
- a first electrical wire and a second electrical wire inserted within the interior of the first housing wherein the first electrical wire at least partially wraps around the first post;
- wherein the second electrical wire at least partially wraps around the second post;
- wherein the first post and the second post mechanically of the first housing connect with openings at the bottom of a second housing;
- and
- wherein the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire may electrically be connected to the second housing.
11) An electro-mechanical block housing system comprising:
- a first housing having a top, a bottom, a front, a back, a first side, a second side and an interior;
- at least two openings and at least a first post and a second post located on the top of the housing;
- a first electrical wire and a second electrical wire inserted within the interior of the first housing wherein the first electrical wire has a terminal end which wraps around the first post and then extends down the first side of the first housing;
- wherein the second electrical wire has a terminal end which wraps around the second post of the first housing and then extends down the second side of the housing;
- wherein the first post and the second post of the housing may mechanically connect with openings at the bottom of a second housing and wherein the first side and the second side of the first housing make electrical contact with a second housing;
- and
- wherein the first electrical wire make up to three simultaneous electrical contacts with electrical wires of other housings and the second electrical wire make up to three simultaneous electrical contacts with electrical wires of other housings.
