Description
本発明は磁石が結合された多面体ブロック玩具に係り、より詳しくは、各種多面体の形状を有する単位ブロックの各面に、面から外側に突出しないように各面を横切る遊動空間を備え、各遊動空間の内部を多数の隔室に区画し、区画された遊動小空間の内部に磁石を遊動可能に収容させることにより、二つの単位ブロックの面と面が近接するとき、二つの単位ブロックの近接する磁石が同一極を有する場合にも、一ブロックの磁石が相手磁石との斥力によって遊動小空間の内部で回転して、二つの磁石間にいつも引力が作用することになるので、磁石の極性に関係なく、単位ブロックの面と面を磁力によっていつも接触結合させることができ、単位ブロックの各面に多数の磁石が遊動可能に収容されることにより、面と面の接触面積と結合位置を自由に変化させることができるので、多様な形態の立体模型を作ることができる、磁石が結合された多面体ブロック玩具に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a polyhedral block toy combined with magnets, and more specifically, each surface of a unit block having various polyhedral shapes is provided with a floating space that crosses each surface so as not to protrude outward from the surface. By dividing the interior of the space into a number of compartments and allowing the magnets to freely move inside the partitioned floating small spaces, when the surfaces of the two unit blocks are close to each other, the proximity of the two unit blocks Even if the magnets to be magnetized have the same pole, one block of magnets rotates inside the floating small space due to repulsive force with the other magnet, and an attractive force always acts between the two magnets. Regardless of the unit block, the surface of the unit block can always be contact-coupled by magnetic force, and a large number of magnets are movably accommodated on each surface of the unit block, so It is possible to freely change can make a three-dimensional model of various forms, to a polyhedral block toy magnet is coupled.
数多い子供用玩具のなかで、子供たちの創意性向上に大きな助けとなり、短期間でなく長期間にわたって遊ぶに適するので、全世界の国で長い間広く販売されている代表的な玩具としてはレゴ(登録商標)を挙げることができる。 Among many toys for children, it is a great help to improve children's creativity and is suitable for playing for a long time instead of a short time, so Lego is a typical toy that has been widely sold in countries all over the world for a long time. (Registered trademark).
このレゴは、多様な形状の部品を子供個人の好みと考えによって組み立てることにより、子供たちの想像力と創意力の向上に非常に役立っている玩具であり、お年によって各部品の大きさを異にしつつ、相違なる大きさの部品を一定割合の大きさにすることにより、大きさの相違した部品を一緒に組み立てることができるようにし、乳児から小学校ないし高学年学生までともに楽しむことができる代表的な玩具である。 This LEGO is a toy that is very useful for improving children's imagination and creativity by assembling various shaped parts according to children's individual preferences and thoughts. The size of each part varies depending on the year. In addition, by making parts of different sizes a certain size, it is possible to assemble parts of different sizes together, and can be enjoyed from infants to elementary school to upper grade students. Is a toy.
しかし、前記レゴは、その特性上、特定形状を作るためには、その形状に相当する特定形状の部品がなければならない制約が伴い、各部品は直方体または正六面体を基にする3次元的な形状を有し、テーマ別に多くの種類のレゴを有すると、部品の体積が大きくなって保管に困難があり、収集しておいた多くのレゴ部品のなかで特定部品を探すのに長時間がかかるため、特定形状に組み立てるための時間が過多に必要となる問題がある。 However, due to the characteristics of the LEGO, in order to make a specific shape, there is a restriction that there must be a specific shape component corresponding to the shape, and each component is a three-dimensional basis based on a rectangular parallelepiped or a regular hexahedron. If you have many types of LEGO by shape and themes, the volume of the parts will increase and it will be difficult to store, and it will take a long time to search for specific parts among the many LEGO parts you have collected. Therefore, there is a problem that an excessive amount of time is required for assembling into a specific shape.
前記のようなレゴの欠点を解決し、特定のテーマに関連した定型的な基本造形物形状がないから、造形物を作るとき、先入観に左右されなく、幾何学的な創意性を培養するのに有益な磁石遊び玩具が開発されたところ、これは次のようである。 Since there is no fixed basic model shape related to a specific theme to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of LEGO, when creating a model, it is not influenced by preconceptions, but it cultivates geometric creativity This is as follows when a toy magnet play toy was developed.
一般に、従来の前記磁石遊び玩具は、合成樹脂外被で取り囲まれ、金属棒の両先端面に永久磁石が結合された磁石スティックと金属球からなり、金属球を介在して前記多数の磁石スティックが連続的に連結されるようにすることにより、所望の模型や構造物を作るようにした玩具である。 Generally, the conventional toy magnet play toy is composed of a magnet stick and a metal ball surrounded by a synthetic resin jacket, and permanent magnets are coupled to both end surfaces of a metal rod, and the plurality of magnet sticks are interposed with metal balls. The toys are designed to make a desired model or structure by continuously connecting them.
すなわち、厳密に言えば、3次元的な体積を有するが、2次元の線の役目をする磁石スティックと、1次元の点の役目をする金属球をもって多様な3次元造形物の模型を作るようにすることにより、子供の空間知覚能力と幾何学的造形物に対する理解度および創意性を向上させるようにしたものが前記磁石遊び玩具である。 Strictly speaking, it has a three-dimensional volume, but makes a model of various three-dimensional objects with a magnetic stick that acts as a two-dimensional line and a metal sphere that acts as a one-dimensional point. The magnet play toy is designed to improve the child's ability to perceive space and the degree of understanding and creativity of the geometrically shaped object.
このような従来の磁石遊び玩具の代表的な実施形態を図1および図2に基づいて簡略に説明すると次のようである。 A typical embodiment of such a conventional magnet play toy will be briefly described as follows based on FIG. 1 and FIG.
図1は従来の磁石遊び玩具の使用状態を示す斜視図、図2は従来の磁石遊び玩具をなす磁石スティックの断面図および基本的な組立構造を示す断面図である。 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a conventional magnet play toy in use, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a basic assembly structure and a cross-sectional view of a magnetic stick constituting the conventional magnet play toy.
これら図に示すように、従来の磁石遊び玩具は、両先端面に円盤形永久磁石11がそれぞれ密着した金属棒12と永久磁石11の外周面および外側先端面Sを合成樹脂外皮13で被覆してなる磁石スティック1と、金属球2とからなり、金属球2を介在して多数の磁石スティック1が連結される構造であって、前記磁石スティック1は、金属棒12の両先端面に円盤形の永久磁石11がそれぞれ固着して、磁石スティック1を断面円形の棒磁石化することにより、磁石スティック1の一側はN極、他側はS極の極性を帯びることになる。 As shown in these drawings, the conventional magnet play toy has a metal rod 12 having disk-shaped permanent magnets 11 in close contact with both end surfaces, and an outer peripheral surface and an outer end surface S of the permanent magnet 11 covered with a synthetic resin outer skin 13. The magnetic stick 1 has a structure in which a large number of magnetic sticks 1 are connected with the metal ball 2 interposed therebetween. Each of the permanent magnets 11 having a shape is fixed, and the magnetic stick 1 is converted into a bar magnet having a circular cross section, so that one side of the magnetic stick 1 has the polarity of the N pole and the other side has the polarity of the S pole.
そして、前記磁石スティック1の各先端面は、磁力により前記金属球2の表面に付着される。その連結構造は三角形構造が最も基本的な構造であり、この構造を基にしてさらに大きくて多様な形状の構造物模型が作られる。 And each front end surface of the magnetic stick 1 is attached to the surface of the metal ball 2 by magnetic force. Triangular structure is the most basic structure of the connection structure, and structure models of larger and various shapes can be made based on this structure.
ここで、前記円盤形永久磁石11としては、高性能磁気特性によって製品の大きさおよび重さを減らしつつ、機械的強度および耐食性に優れた希土類系列のネオジム(Nd)磁石が主として使用される。この永久磁石は、前記金属棒12の両端に付着されて稠密な磁気力線を誘導することにより、およそ1000Gの磁力増大の効果を与え、増強された磁力により多数の磁石スティック1と金属球2が連結された大きな構造物の場合にも堅固な構造を維持することができるようにする。 Here, as the disk-shaped permanent magnet 11, a rare earth series neodymium (Nd) magnet having excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance while reducing the size and weight of the product due to high performance magnetic characteristics is mainly used. This permanent magnet is attached to both ends of the metal rod 12 to induce dense magnetic field lines, thereby giving an effect of increasing the magnetic force of about 1000 G. The increased magnetic force causes a large number of magnet sticks 1 and metal balls 2 to be applied. It is possible to maintain a solid structure even in the case of a large structure connected to each other.
このように、球とスティックから構成された従来の従来の磁石遊び玩具は、多様な幾何学的模型を作ることができ、3次元形状、すなわち多面体形状を作ることもできるが、面がない状態であるため、子供の教育用としては不足な点がある。 Thus, the conventional conventional magnet play toy composed of a sphere and a stick can make various geometric models, and can make a three-dimensional shape, that is, a polyhedral shape, but has no surface. Therefore, there is a shortage for children's education.
特に、小学校に入学する前の子供には各種の多面体に対する教育が必要であるため、四面体、六面体、多角柱などの各種の多面体に対する形状と特徴などを教育させるとともに遊び玩具として機能し得るように、各種の多面体の形状を有する多数のブロックで構成された教育用玩具もあるが、従来の多面体ブロックは単純に木材または合成樹脂などのみで作られるため、積層時に小さな外力によっても易しく崩れることになる欠点がある。 In particular, since children who have not yet entered elementary school need to learn about various polyhedrons, they should be able to educate the shape and characteristics of various polyhedrons such as tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, and polygonal columns, and function as play toys. There are also educational toys made up of many blocks with various polyhedron shapes, but since conventional polyhedron blocks are simply made of wood or synthetic resin, they can be easily collapsed even with a small external force during lamination. There are disadvantages to become.
前記のような従来の多面体ブロックの問題点を解決するために、磁石を結合させた多面体ブロックが開発されたが、その一例として吸着体がある(たとえば、特許文献1参照)。 In order to solve the problems of the conventional polyhedron block as described above, a polyhedron block combined with a magnet has been developed. An example is an adsorbent (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
前記吸着体は、内部空間を有する上向き開放型の六面体形状の収納体と、ふたと、前記収納体の内部空間に回転可能に収納される一つの球形磁石体とからなる。これは、磁石体が収納体の内部で回転可能であるので、六面体形状の多数の吸着体を磁石体の極性に関係なく自由に接触結合させることができ、多数の吸着体を、多面体の各面に突出しないように、一定間隔で挿入して固定させることにより、多面体ブロックも磁力によって安定的に接触結合させることができることになる。 The adsorbent body includes an upwardly open hexahedral storage body having an internal space, a lid, and a single spherical magnet body rotatably stored in the internal space of the storage body. This is because the magnet body is rotatable inside the storage body, so that a large number of hexahedron-shaped adsorbers can be freely contact-coupled regardless of the polarity of the magnet body, By inserting and fixing at regular intervals so as not to protrude from the surface, the polyhedral block can also be stably contact-coupled by magnetic force.
しかし、前記磁石体は収納体の内部で回転は可能であるが、その位置が固定されており、さらに各吸着体には一つの磁石が結合されているため、一吸着体の面と他の吸着体の面が1:1で接触することができるだけで、一吸着体の一面に二つの吸着体の二面を同時に付着することができないため、接触結合状態がいつも一定になり、吸着体が固定された状態で結合されれば、多面体ブロックも固定された吸着体がある所でばかり接触結合がなされ、その接触結合された状態を維持しつつ接触面積を自由に変化させることができない。 However, the magnet body can be rotated inside the storage body, but its position is fixed, and furthermore, since one magnet is coupled to each adsorption body, the surface of one adsorption body and the other Since the surface of the adsorbent can only be contacted by 1: 1 and two surfaces of the two adsorbents cannot be attached to one surface of the adsorbent at the same time, the contact bonding state is always constant, If they are bonded in a fixed state, contact bonding is made only where the polyhedron block has a fixed adsorbent, and the contact area cannot be freely changed while maintaining the contact-bonded state.
そして、回転型磁石結合装置およびこれを備えた組立式玩具が開示されている(たとえば、特許文献2参照)。これは、多面体の面に形成された多数の凹部にそれぞれ磁石を挿入した後、磁石が凹部から排出されないように、各凹部にキャップを結合させることにより、磁石が凹部の内部で多少の遊動により回転できるようにした構造である。これは、前記特許文献1とほぼ同等の効果および欠点を持っている。 And the rotary magnet coupling device and the assembly-type toy provided with this are disclosed (for example, refer patent document 2). This is because a magnet is inserted into a large number of recesses formed on the surface of the polyhedron and then a cap is coupled to each recess so that the magnet is not ejected from the recesses. It is a structure that can be rotated. This has the same effects and disadvantages as those of Patent Document 1.
すなわち、前記特許文献1および特許文献2に開示された発明は、磁石の回転と多少の遊動が可能ではあるが、磁石が位置する凹部が一定の位置に固定されているため、磁石がある位置のみで結合が可能であり、面と面が接触結合した状態で、接触状態を維持しつつ接触面の大きさを自由に変化させることができないため、組立形状に多様な変化を与えることができなく、幾つかのほぼ一定の形態の結合形態のみが可能である。
したがって、本発明は前記のような磁石が結合された従来のブロック型磁石遊び玩具が持っている諸般問題点を解決するためになされたもので、多面体の各面に多数の磁石を遊動可能に結合させることで、多面体ブロックの面と面が接触された状態でも接触面の大きさを自由に調節することができるようにすることにより、ブロックを多様な形態に結合させることができるブロック玩具を提供することに本発明の目的がある。 Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the various problems of the conventional block-type magnet play toy to which the magnets are coupled as described above, and allows a large number of magnets to float on each surface of the polyhedron. A block toy that can be combined in various forms by allowing the size of the contact surface to be freely adjusted even when the surfaces of the polyhedral block are in contact with each other by combining them. There is an object of the present invention to provide.
上記課題を解決するために、本発明は、多面体の各面を横切るように形成された遊動空間を提供する。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an idle space formed so as to cross each surface of a polyhedron.
本発明の磁石が結合された多面体ブロック玩具は、多面体をなす多数の単位ブロックと、単位ブロックの各面に遊動可能に結合される多数の磁石とからなり、磁石が遊動可能に結合されるように、単位ブロックの各面に、各面を横切る方向に遊動空間を有することに本発明の技術的特徴がある。 The polyhedral block toy to which the magnet of the present invention is coupled is composed of a large number of unit blocks forming a polyhedron and a large number of magnets movably coupled to each surface of the unit block, so that the magnets are movably coupled. In addition, the technical feature of the present invention is that each surface of the unit block has a floating space in a direction crossing each surface.
すなわち、前記遊動空間は、単位ブロックの各面の一端部とこれの反対端部まで伸びる直線形に形成され、各遊動空間は隔壁などによって二つの以上の遊動小空間に区画され、各遊動小空間には一つの磁石が収容されているので、その内部で面を横切る方向、すなわち遊動小空間の長手方向に自由に転がりながら遊動することができる。 That is, the free space is formed in a straight line extending to one end of each surface of the unit block and the opposite end thereof, and each free space is divided into two or more free small spaces by a partition or the like. Since one magnet is accommodated in the space, the magnet can move while freely rolling in the direction crossing the surface inside the space, that is, in the longitudinal direction of the floating small space.
以下の説明において、前記遊動空間に対する方向は、用語の混同を避けるために、多面体の上面に形成されたものを基準にしてその方向を説明することにする。 In the following description, the direction with respect to the floating space will be described based on the direction formed on the upper surface of the polyhedron in order to avoid confusion of terms.
前記遊動空間の代表的な形成方法としては、木材ブロックの場合、各面の一端部から他端部まで面を横切って断面四角形の溝を形成する方式で形成することができ、磁石を入れた後には、磁石が外部に排出されないように、前記遊動空間の開放端部である長手方向の両端部と上端部を密閉させることになり、合成樹脂ブロックの場合には、溝が形成された形状に射出成形して製造することもできるなど、前記のほかにも多様な方法で多面体の各面に前記遊動空間を形成することができる。 As a typical method of forming the floating space, in the case of a wood block, it can be formed by forming a groove having a square cross section across the surface from one end to the other end of each surface, and a magnet is inserted. Later, both ends and upper ends in the longitudinal direction, which are open ends of the floating space, are sealed so that the magnet is not discharged to the outside. In the case of a synthetic resin block, a groove is formed. In addition to the above, the floating space can be formed on each surface of the polyhedron by various methods such as injection molding.
そして、前記遊動空間を区画する隔壁の厚さが薄い場合には、隣接した二つの遊動小空間にそれぞれ収容された磁石が隔壁を介在して相互間の磁力によって互いに付着することにより、動けなくなる。 When the partition walls that partition the floating space are thin, the magnets housed in the two adjacent small floating spaces are attached to each other by the magnetic force between the partition walls so that they cannot move. .
したがって、たとえば前記各遊動空間を三つに区画する場合には、一対の隔壁を設けて一つの遊動空間を一列に配列された三つの遊動小空間に区画した後、中央の遊動小空間を除いた両側の遊動小空間にだけ磁石をそれぞれ入れることにより、両側の磁石が、磁力によって互いに拘束しないようにするか、または面を横切る直線の中央部を除いた両側部に遊動小空間をそれぞれ形成させることにより、厚さの充分に厚い隔壁によって分離されることにより、両側に互いに分離して形成された各遊動小空間に収容された磁石が互いに干渉しないながら自由に遊動することもできる。 Therefore, for example, when each of the free spaces is divided into three, a pair of partition walls are provided to partition one free space into three free small spaces arranged in a row, and then the central free space is excluded. By inserting magnets only in the floating small spaces on both sides, the magnets on both sides are not restrained by magnetic force, or each small floating space is formed on both sides except for the central part of the straight line across the surface. Thus, the magnets housed in the respective floating small spaces formed separately on both sides can be freely moved without interfering with each other by being separated by the sufficiently thick partition walls.
前記のように、面を横切る方向、すなわち直線状に形成された遊動小空間に収容された磁石は直線状に遊動することができるとともに、斥力または引力によって転がることができ、磁力によって面と面が接触結合された二つの多面体は、引力が作用している二つの多面体の磁石がそれぞれの遊動小空間内で遊動小空間の長手方向にともに移動することができるため、一多面体に他多面体が接触結合された状態でも、遊動小空間の長手方向に動くことができることになる。 As described above, the magnets accommodated in the direction of crossing the surface, that is, in the linearly-formed floating small space, can move linearly and can be rolled by repulsive force or attractive force. The two polyhedrons that are contact-coupled to each other can move the magnets of the two polyhedrons that are attracted to each other within the respective floating small spaces in the longitudinal direction of the floating small spaces. Even in the contact-coupled state, it can move in the longitudinal direction of the floating small space.
すなわち、二つの多面体の接触面積を自由に変化させることができるようになる。 That is, the contact area between the two polyhedrons can be freely changed.
この際、二つの多面体は各接触面に設けられた遊動小空間の長手方向が互いに一致するように接触結合されることもでき、直交するように接触結合されることもでき。遊動小空間の方向が一致する場合には、両側多面体の磁石がともに長手方向に動くことができ、直交する場合には、一側多面体の磁石のみが長手方向に動くことができることになる。 At this time, the two polyhedrons can be contact-coupled so that the longitudinal directions of the floating small spaces provided on the contact surfaces coincide with each other, or can be contact-coupled so as to be orthogonal to each other. When the directions of the floating small spaces coincide with each other, both sided polyhedron magnets can move in the longitudinal direction, and when they intersect at right angles, only one sided polyhedral magnet can move in the longitudinal direction.
前記のように、多面体をなす各面に遊動空間が形成された本発明のブロック玩具は、多面体の面数とは関係なく適用可能であるが、六面体、多角柱などのように互いに平行な少なくとも一対の面を有する多面体を選択し、選択された多面体の平行な両面に両端部が結合された各面に、平行な両面に垂直な方向に、遊動空間を形成させることが望ましい。 As described above, the block toy of the present invention in which idle spaces are formed on each surface forming a polyhedron can be applied regardless of the number of faces of the polyhedron, but at least parallel to each other like a hexahedron, a polygonal column, etc. It is desirable to select a polyhedron having a pair of surfaces, and to form an idle space in a direction perpendicular to both parallel surfaces on each surface where both ends are coupled to both surfaces parallel to the selected polyhedron.
すなわち、たとえば六面体の場合には全ての面に、三角柱の場合には平行な両面を除いた3面に、平行な面と垂直な方向に遊動空間を形成させることができる。 That is, for example, idle spaces can be formed on all surfaces in the case of a hexahedron, and on three surfaces excluding parallel surfaces in the case of a triangular prism in a direction perpendicular to the parallel surfaces.
この際、前記三角柱の場合、平行な両面にも遊動空間をそれぞれ形成させることはできるが、両端部が平行な両面に位置することになる3面の各遊動空間と干渉することができるので、平行でない3面の各面を横切って形成された遊動空間と異なり、平行な両面に形成される遊動空間は面を横切らないで面内に位置するようにすることが望ましい。 At this time, in the case of the triangular prism, it is possible to form idle spaces on both parallel surfaces, but both ends can interfere with each of the three idle spaces that are positioned on both parallel surfaces. Unlike the floating spaces formed across the three non-parallel surfaces, it is desirable that the floating spaces formed on both parallel surfaces be positioned within the surface without crossing the surfaces.
以上説明したように、本発明の磁石が結合された多面体ブロック玩具は、多数の多面体を用いて立体物を組み立てるとき、多面体と多面体間の接触面積を自由に変化させることができるので、より多様な形状に結合させることができ、よって子供の創意性向上に役立つことができる。 As described above, the polyhedron block toy combined with the magnet of the present invention can change the contact area between the polyhedron and polyhedron freely when assembling a three-dimensional object using a large number of polyhedrons. Can be combined into various shapes, which can help improve the creativity of the child.
以下に添付図面を参照しながら、本発明の好適な実施の形態について詳細に説明する。なお、本明細書および図面において、実質的に同一の機能構成を有する構成要素については、同一の符号を付することにより重複説明を省略する。 Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present specification and drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

FIG.
これら図に示すように、本発明の一実施形態による多面体ブロック玩具は、各面を横切って一直線状の溝形状の遊動空間Rが形成され、互いに対向する多数の隔壁Wによって前記遊動空間Rが多数の遊動小空間RSに区画され、多面体をなす単数の単位ブロック31と、前記単位ブロック31の各面に設けられた各遊動小空間RSに遊動可能に収容された多数の磁石32と、前記遊動空間Rの開放上端部に結合され前記遊動空間Rを外部から隔離する片状の上部遮断片33A、および前記遊動空間Rの両側開放端部のそれぞれに結合されて遊動空間Rを外部から隔離する側面遮断片33Bでなったキャップ33とからなる。 As shown in these drawings, in the polyhedral block toy according to an embodiment of the present invention, a straight groove-shaped idle space R is formed across each surface, and the idle space R is formed by a plurality of partition walls W facing each other. A single unit block 31 that is partitioned into a large number of small floating spaces RS and forms a polyhedron, and a large number of magnets 32 that are movably accommodated in each small floating space RS provided on each surface of the unit block 31. , A piece-shaped upper blocking piece 33A coupled to the open upper end portion of the idle space R and isolating the idle space R from the outside, and an open space R connected to the both open ends of the idle space R. And a cap 33 formed of a side blocking piece 33B that is isolated from the cap 33.
この時、前記遊動空間Rの区画数は必要によって調節できるが、二つの隔壁Wによって一列に配列された3室の遊動小空間RSに区画し、中央の遊動小空間RSを除き、その両側の遊動小空間RSにだけ磁石32を入れることが望ましい。 At this time, the number of sections of the floating space R can be adjusted as necessary. However, the floating space R is partitioned into three small floating spaces RS arranged in a row by two partition walls W, except for the central small floating space RS. It is desirable to put the magnet 32 only in the floating small space RS on both sides.
しかし、前記のように両側の遊動小空間RSにだけ磁石が収容された状態で、二つの多面体の接触面に形成された遊動空間Rが互いに直交するように合う場合には、各遊動空間Rの中央の遊動小空間RSには磁石がないから、二つの多面体の接触結合が不可能になる。 However, when the floating spaces R formed on the contact surfaces of the two polyhedrons are perpendicular to each other in a state where the magnets are accommodated only in the floating small spaces RS on both sides as described above, Since there is no magnet in the small floating space RS in the center of R, the contact coupling between the two polyhedrons becomes impossible.
したがって、このような場合を防止するためには、中央の遊動小空間RSにも磁石を収容させることができるが、このような場合には、隣接した遊動小空間RSに収容された二つの磁石間の引力より接触結合された二つの多面体の磁石間引力が大きく作用するように遊動空間Rを区画する隔壁Wの厚さを適宜調節する必要がある。 Therefore, in order to prevent such a case, the magnet can be accommodated in the central floating small space RS , but in such a case, the second small space RS accommodated in the adjacent small floating space RS can be accommodated. It is necessary to appropriately adjust the thickness of the partition wall W that partitions the floating space R so that the attractive force between the magnets of the two polyhedrons that are contact-bonded is larger than the attractive force between the two magnets.
すなわち、隔壁の厚さを二つの多面体間の磁石間の距離より大きくすることにより、一多面体の隣接した二つの磁石間の引力より二つの多面体の磁石間の引力が大きいようにすることが望ましい。 That is, it is desirable to make the attractive force between the magnets of two polyhedrons larger than the attractive force between two adjacent magnets of one polyhedron by making the thickness of the partition wall larger than the distance between the magnets between the two polyhedrons. .
そして、各遊動空間Wを区画するようになる隔壁Wは、遊動空間R内部の磁石が外部に排出されないように、遊動空間Rに結合されるキャップ33の底面に一体に形成することもでき、キャップ33の上部遮断片33Aと側面遮断片33Bを下向き開放型“コ”字形となるように一体に形成することもでき、面と面が接触結合するとき、前記上部遮断片33Aが磁石32の磁力を減少させないように、図6に示すように、磁石32が収容された遊動小空間RSに結合された上部遮断片33Aの中央部に直線状の貫通孔Hを形成させることで、この貫通孔Hを介して通多面体の磁石32と磁石32が直接付着することができることになる。 And the partition wall W which partitions each idle space W can also be integrally formed on the bottom surface of the cap 33 coupled to the idle space R so that the magnet inside the idle space R is not discharged to the outside. The upper blocking piece 33A and the side blocking piece 33B of the cap 33 can be integrally formed so as to form a downwardly open “U” shape. In order not to reduce the magnetic force, as shown in FIG. 6, by forming a straight through hole H in the central portion of the upper blocking piece 33A coupled to the floating small space RS in which the magnet 32 is accommodated, The polyhedral magnet 32 and the magnet 32 can be directly attached via the through hole H.
また、前記側面遮断片33Bにも貫通孔(図示せず)を形成させることもできる。前記遊動空間Rは外部と完全に遮断されることもでき、貫通孔によって部分的に開放された状態となることもできる。 Further, a through hole (not shown) can be formed in the side surface blocking piece 33B. The idle space R can be completely blocked from the outside, or can be partially opened by a through hole.
そして、前記のキャップ33は、外部から作用する力または衝撃などによって遊動空間Rから易しく分離しないようにすることが重要である。遊動空間Rの断面形状と側面遮断片33Bおよび隔壁Wの形状を、図7に示すように、上端部の幅wより下端部の幅w’が大きいようにし、キャップ33を遊動空間Rの一端部から他端部側に挿入する方式で結合させることもできる。 It is important that the cap 33 is not easily separated from the idle space R by an external force or impact. As shown in FIG. 7, the cross-sectional shape of the idle space R and the shape of the side blocking pieces 33 </ b> B and the partition wall W are set such that the lower end width w ′ is larger than the upper end width w, and the cap 33 is connected to one end of the idle space R. It is also possible to combine them by inserting them from the part to the other end side.
前記のような構造、すなわち、多面体単位ブロックの各面に遊動空間Rが設けられた構造は多様な方法で製作することができる。木材ブロックの場合、多面体の一側面の一端部から他端部まで面を横切って溝状遊動空間を形成させ、形成された遊動空間にキャップ33を結合させる方法を適用することもでき、合成樹脂ブロックの場合、図8に示すように、貫通孔Hを有する遊動空間Rが下面の一端部から他端部まで形成された四角板状のブロック板体31Aを射出成形などの方法で製造した後、6枚のブロック板体31Aを結合させることにより、六面体ブロックを作ることもできる。 The structure as described above, that is, the structure in which the idle space R is provided on each surface of the polyhedral unit block can be manufactured by various methods. In the case of a wood block, a method can be applied in which a groove-like floating space is formed across the surface from one end to the other end of one side of a polyhedron, and a cap 33 is coupled to the formed floating space. In the case of a block, as shown in FIG. 8, after manufacturing a square plate-like block plate 31 </ b> A in which an idle space R having a through hole H is formed from one end to the other end of the lower surface by a method such as injection molding. A hexahedron block can be made by combining six block plate bodies 31A.
この時、前記遊動空間Rの内部に多数の隔壁Wを一体に形成するかまたは挿入することで多数の遊動小空間RSに区画することもでき、磁力が及ぶことができないほどに充分に厚い一つの隔壁を中央部に挿入することで、2室の遊動小空間RSのみに区画することもできる。 At this time, a large number of partition walls W may be integrally formed or inserted into the floating space R so as to be partitioned into a large number of small floating spaces RS , which are sufficiently thick to prevent magnetic force from reaching them. By inserting one partition wall at the center, it can be partitioned only into two small floating spaces RS .
前記のように、二つ以上の遊動小空間RSで構成される遊動空間Rの内部を区画せずに一つの磁石を収容して、遊動空間Rの一端部から他端部まで自由に遊動可能にすることもできる。 As noted above, to accommodate the one magnet without partitioning the interior of the formed floating space R of two or more idler small space R S, freely floating from one end of the floating space R to the other end It can also be possible.
しかし、前記のように、遊動空間Rを一つの空間にする場合、一ブロックの面にある磁石が一つであるため、一ブロックの一面に二つのブロックをともに接触結合させることができなくなるので、必要に応じて遊動空間Rを区画しないこともできる。 However, as described above, when the floating space R is made into one space, since there is one magnet on the surface of one block, it becomes impossible to contact-couple two blocks together on one surface of one block. The idle space R can be not partitioned as necessary.
前記のような方法のほかにも、図9に示すように、遊動空間の形成対象となる面を“基準面”とすると、多面体ブロック31の基準面と合う一側面からその反対側面まで基準面の直下に、互いに平行な少なくとも一つ以上の孔を貫設させる方式で遊動空間Rを形成させることができる。このように形成された遊動空間Rの内周面からその直上の基準面まで直線状貫通孔Hを形成させることもできる。 In addition to the above method, as shown in FIG. 9, if the surface on which the floating space is to be formed is a “reference surface”, the reference surface from one side that matches the reference surface of the polyhedron block 31 to its opposite side The idle space R can be formed in such a manner that at least one or more holes that are parallel to each other are provided directly underneath. A straight through hole H can be formed from the inner peripheral surface of the idle space R formed in this way to the reference surface immediately above it.
また、図10に示すように、各面を横切る直線の両側に遊動小空間RSをそれぞれ形成させることもできる。この場合は、二つの遊動小空間RSの間の未加工部が厚い隔壁Wの役目をすることになり、各遊動小空間RSに結合されるキャップ33は単純に“L”字形に形成できる。 Also, as shown in FIG. 10, it is possible to form floating small spaces RS on both sides of a straight line that crosses each surface. In this case, the unprocessed portion between the two floating small spaces RS serves as a thick partition wall W, and the cap 33 coupled to each floating small space RS is simply formed in an “L” shape. it can.
前記のような方法のほかにも、遊動空間Rを形成させることができる多様な方法があり得る。たとえば、多面体の各面に、面を横切る溝を形成させるかあるいはその面の直下に貫通孔を貫設させる方法で遊動空間Rを区画した後、その内部を区画する隔壁Wと、その内部に収容された磁石が外部にすり排出されないようにするために、前記遊動空間Rの開放端部に結合されるキャップ33のような遮断部材とを提供するなどの多様な構造があり得る。本発明は、特定の方法または構造にかかわらず、多面体の各面またはその直下に遊動空間Rを形成し、遊動空間Rを、各面を横切る直線の両側にそれぞれ分離された状態でそれぞれ磁石を収容する二つの遊動小空間RSに形成させるか、あるいは隔壁Wによって一列に配列された三つの遊動小空間RSに区画し、中央を除いた両側の遊動小空間RSにだけそれぞれ磁石32を入れる基本的構造に技術的特徴がある。 In addition to the methods described above, there can be various methods capable of forming the idle space R. For example, after the idle space R is partitioned by a method of forming a groove crossing the surface in each surface of the polyhedron or by penetrating a through hole directly below the surface, the partition wall W partitioning the interior thereof, and the interior There may be various structures such as providing a blocking member such as a cap 33 that is coupled to the open end of the floating space R in order to prevent the housed magnet from being slipped out. Regardless of a specific method or structure, the present invention forms a floating space R on each face of a polyhedron or directly below it, and separates the free space R on both sides of a straight line that crosses each face. The magnets 32 are formed in the two free small spaces RS to be accommodated or divided into three free small spaces RS arranged in a row by the partition walls W, and only in the free small spaces RS on both sides except the center. There are technical features in the basic structure of
また、本発明を構成する単位ブロックは、木材、合成樹脂などの特定材料に限定されないが、子供教育用としては木材が一番望ましい。 The unit blocks constituting the present invention are not limited to specific materials such as wood and synthetic resin, but wood is most desirable for children's education.
前記のような構造の本発明ブロック玩具は、多面体の形状に関係はないが、遊動空間Rの形成とその両端部を遮断するための遮断部材の形成の面で、四面体などのように平行な二つの面がない多面体よりは、六面体、または円柱などの多角柱のように、互いに平行な面が少なくとも一対以上ある多面体がより好ましい。このような多面体の各面に形成される遊動空間Rは、図11に示すように、平行な二つの面に垂直な方向に形成させ、平行な面にも遊動空間Rを形成させようとする場合には、平行な面を横切らないで面内に位置するようにすることがよい。 The block toy of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure is not related to the shape of the polyhedron, but is parallel to the formation of the floating space R and the blocking member for blocking both ends thereof, such as a tetrahedron. A polyhedron having at least one pair of parallel surfaces such as a hexahedron or a polygonal column such as a cylinder is more preferable than a polyhedron having no two surfaces. As shown in FIG. 11, the free space R formed on each surface of such a polyhedron is formed in a direction perpendicular to two parallel surfaces, and the free space R is also formed on the parallel surfaces. In some cases, it is preferable to lie within the plane without crossing the parallel plane.
しかし、前記平行な面に垂直な面の遊動空間Rに収容された磁石32が、遮断部材が介在された状態で作用することになるが、遊動空間Rの両端部を外部から遮断させる遮断部材の厚さを薄くし、貫通孔Hを形成させることにより、前記平行な面には遊動空間Rを形成させないこともできる。 However, the magnet 32 accommodated in the floating space R having a surface perpendicular to the parallel surface acts in a state where the blocking member is interposed, but the blocking member that blocks both ends of the floating space R from the outside. It is possible to prevent the idle space R from being formed on the parallel surfaces by reducing the thickness of the through hole H.
そして、各面に形成される遊動空間Rは、必要に応じて、図12.Bに示すように、二つ〜四つずつ互いに平行に形成させることもでき、図13に示すように、一側面から始めて一回りを回る閉ループ状に形成させることもできる。この場合、平行な面に形成させた遊動空間は面を横切るように形成させることもできる。 And the free space R formed in each surface is shown in FIG. As shown in B, two to four can be formed in parallel with each other, and as shown in FIG. 13, they can be formed in a closed loop shape that starts around one side and goes around. In this case, the idle space formed on the parallel surfaces can be formed so as to cross the surfaces.
この時、閉ループ状に形成された遊動空間Rを多数の遊動小空間RSに区画する場合には、厚さの薄い隔壁を備え、遊動小空間RSの数を偶数にし、一遊動小空間置き磁石を収容させることにより、隣接磁石同士付着しないようにするか、あるいは隔壁の厚さを厚くしつつ、各遊動小空間RSの全てにそれぞれ磁石を収容させることもできる。 At this time, when defining the floating space R formed in a closed loop on a number of floating small space RS is provided with a thin partition wall thicknesses, and the number of floating small space R S in an even, every other floating small spaces By accommodating the magnets, the adjacent magnets can be prevented from adhering to each other, or the magnets can be accommodated in all of the floating small spaces RS while increasing the thickness of the partition walls.
そして、前記のように閉ループ状に形成された遊動空間Rの場合には、各遊動空間Rを遊動小空間RSに区画せずに各遊動空間Rに一つの磁石32を結合させることで、磁石32が遊動空間RSに沿って多面体を一回り回るようにすることもできるが、このようにする場合、一多面体に二つ以上の多面体を結合させることができないため、閉ループ状の遊動空間Rの場合にも、多数の遊動小空間RSに区画することもできる。 And, in the case of the idle space R formed in the closed loop shape as described above, by connecting one magnet 32 to each idle space R without dividing each idle space R into the idle small spaces RS , Although the magnet 32 can be rotated around the polyhedron along the idle space R S , in this case, two or more polyhedrons cannot be coupled to the single polyhedron. Also in the case of R, it can be divided into a large number of small floating spaces RS .
また、図14.Cに示すように、一部がない扇形断面の円柱形ブロックの場合、円弧上の外周面に沿って遊動空間Rを形成させることもできる。 FIG. As shown in C, in the case of a cylindrical block having a fan-shaped cross section with no part, the idle space R can be formed along the outer peripheral surface on the arc.
前記のように、本発明のブロック玩具は、多数の多面体単位ブロックで構成されるが、図15に示すように、数字、文字、文様などが印刷され、単位ブロックの各面との接触時に結合される平面形状の同一な文様板Dを前記単位ブロックの各面に分離可能に結合させることにより、子供に数字、各種の模様などをおもしろく学習させることもできる。 As described above, the block toy of the present invention is composed of a large number of polyhedral unit blocks. As shown in FIG. 15, numbers, letters, patterns, etc. are printed and connected when contacting each surface of the unit block. It is possible to make a child learn numbers and various patterns interestingly by connecting the same pattern plate D having the same planar shape to each surface of the unit block in a separable manner.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the claims, and these are naturally within the technical scope of the present invention.
