Abstract
An interchangeable kit for scenery having: a first wall unit and a second wall unit, each wall unit having: a first face to simulate a first surface, a second face to simulate a second surface different than the first surface and a plurality of first connector elements; an aperture unit comprising: a first face to simulate a first door or window, or having an operable first door or window; a second face to simulate a second door or window, or having an operable second door or window different than the first door or window and a plurality of second connector elements; and wherein the first plurality of connector elements connect a given wall unit to at least one other wall unit or aperture unit, and the second plurality of connector elements connect a given aperture unit to at least one other aperture or wall unit.
Claims26
An interchangeable kit usable to make interchangeable scenery, the kit comprising:
- a plurality of wall units, including at least a first wall unit and a second wall unit, wherein each of the first wall unit and the second wall unit further comprise:
- a first face painted, configured to removably receive a first panel textured or covered to simulate a first surface;
- a second face painted, configured to removably receive a first panel textured or covered to simulate a second surface, the second surface being different than the first surface;
- a plurality of first connector elements;
- at least one aperture unit comprising a receiving area configured to receive an operable door that opens and closes or an operable window that opens and closes:
- a plurality of second connector elements the second connector elements different than the first connector elements;
- and
- wherein a given connector element in the first plurality of connector elements is configured to removably connect a given wall unit directly to at least one other wall unit or aperture unit, in a plane and a given connector element in the second plurality of connector elements is configured to removably connect a given aperture unit directly to at least one other aperture or wall unit at an angle of about ninety degrees to form a ninety degree corner.
A method for interchangeably constructing a stage, comprising:
- providing a kit comprising:
- a plurality of wall units, each wall unit further comprising:
- a first face painted, textured or covered to simulate a first surface;
- a second face painted, textured or covered to simulate a second surface, the second surface being different than the first surface;
- and
- and a plurality of connector slots
- at least one aperture unit comprising:
- a first face painted, textured or covered to simulate a first door or window;
- a second face painted, textured or covered to simulate a second door or window, the second door or window being different than the first door or window;
- and
- a plurality of connector slots;
- and
- a plurality of floor units, each floor unit further comprising:
- a first face having a first design thereon;
- a second face having a second design thereon, the second design being different than the first design;
- and
- a plurality of connector slots;
- a plurality of connectors removeably mountable in the wall unit connector slots and the aperture unit connector slots to removeably couple the plurality of wall units and the at least one aperture unit;
- coupling at least two of the plurality of wall units to each other using the connectors;
- and
- coupling the aperture unit to at least one of the wall units using the connectors.
An interchangeable stage kit comprising:
- a plurality of wall units, each wall unit further comprising:
- a first face painted, textured or covered to simulate a first surface;
- a second face painted, textured or covered to simulate a second surface, the second surface being different than the first surface;
- a plurality of connector slots;
- a plurality of aperture units, each aperture unit further comprising:
- a first face painted, textured or covered to simulate a first door or window;
- a second face painted, textured or covered to simulate a second door or window, the second door or window being different than the first door or window;
- a plurality of connector slots;
- a plurality of floor units, each floor unit further comprising:
- a first face having a first design thereon;
- a second face having a second design thereon, the second design being different than the first design;
- and
- a plurality of connector slots;
- and
- a plurality of connectors removeably mountable in the wall unit connector slots, the aperture unit connector slots and the floor unit connector slots to removeably couple the plurality of wall units, the at least one aperture unit and the floor units.
