Description

Interactive toy and children building block with standardized components and meeting education method and safety requirements

Technical Field

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to toys, and more particularly, to child interactive educational toys that comply with educational methods (e.g., the Mongolian shuttle method) and various Safety testing requirements set forth by various agencies, such as the United States State Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the American society for materials and testing ("ASTM"). The toy of the present disclosure includes a standard size and a Lego^TMAnd Duplo^TMStyle building blocks assorted part.

Background

School toys, particularly Mongolian Clillips toys, are designed to help children develop a state of esteem, self-esteem, confidence, discipline, coordination, independence, social skills, emotional growth, and cognitive preparation for others and the environment. To this end, school toys, including Mongolian Cluds toys, are designed to be interactive, educational, and conform to the above-described characteristics. These toys are designed in a manner that allows children to actively develop their imagination and learn while playing with the toy.

For children aged 0-3 years, the toy not only meets the above characteristics, but also ensures that the children are safe to use. U.S. application No.16/543,493 and PCT application No. PCT/US2018/018544, which are incorporated herein by reference, disclose toys having all of the features described above and which have been elaborated through multiple experiments (including the weight, size and shape of the finished toy and individual components) to conform to the monte shuttle education method and to the safety requirements set forth by various institutions (e.g., CPSC, ASTM, etc.). These toys are made of wood. Moreover, each toy can replace one material in the traditional Mongolian Clilli course. Thus, the entire course requires many individual toys, which have primarily very focused and specific educational objectives.

Thus, having an interactive educational environment that provides security requirements that conform to the needs of various institutions, and also includes toys that can be shared among other toys (including with Lego)^TMAnd Duplo^TMStyle blocks used together) is advantageous.

Disclosure of Invention

Embodiments of an interactive educational toy that meets the safety requirements set forth by educational methods, including the platform shuttle method, and also meets the safety requirements set forth by various institutions (e.g., CPSC, ASTM, other foreign institutions, etc.) are provided. The toy of the present disclosure also includes interchangeable components and combines a design that is typically used alone with other designs to form a material that supports multiple skill cultivations simultaneously.

As used herein, components, parts and parts are used interchangeably.

In some embodiments, the present disclosure may include toys disclosed in U.S. application No.16/543,493 and PCT application No. PCT/US2018/018544, which are incorporated herein by reference. These toys can be converted to fit the existing Duplo^TMAnd Lego^TMThe dimensions of the components. For example, the various parts of the toy may be converted to include a Lego style post and an inner tube or knob/connector. Conversion to fit other toys is also contemplated.

In some embodiments, the toy components may be standardized so that a user may use them to create a toy with components of other toys. For example, the wall of the Object Permance Box1 toy may be shared with the wall of the Coin Box toy, and vice versa. In other words, the walls are standardized. Another advantage of such component standardization may be, for example, that when a user already owns the Object Permance Box1 toy, she only needs to purchase the remaining components to complete the Coin Box toy. The user may not need to purchase all of the components of each toy for the entire educational course to produce all of the products.

In some embodiments, component sizes within a toy may be standardized to reduce manufacturing costs (e.g., fewer unique parts per toy). For example, it may be cheaper to use two wall sizes in a toy than one wall size in a toy for economy of manufacturing scale.

In some embodiments, a user may author more content than is included in an educational course (e.g., a Mongolian shuttle course). For example, she may create a unique toy with a Mongolian shuttle unit.

In some embodiments, the toy may be stored and transported flat, although assembled into a 3D toy.

In some embodiments, the present disclosure may include a toy that conforms to at least the american society for testing and materials education and safety standards, including: a plurality of parts; a size of at least one of the plurality of parts is adjusted to a first size; at least one surface of the at least one part that is sized includes a plurality of posts; and wherein the at least one part with the adjusted size of the plurality of posts is sized to receive and fit into one or more existing Legos^TMOr Duplo^TMIn the component.

In some embodiments, the present disclosure may include a method of standardizing a toy that conforms to at least the american society for testing and materials education and safety standards, the toy including a plurality of parts, the method comprising: adjusting a size of at least one of the plurality of parts to a first size; adding a plurality of posts to at least one surface of the at least one part that is sized; and wherein the at least one part with the adjusted size of the plurality of posts is sized to receive and fit into one or more existing Legos^TMOr Duplo^TMIn the component.

Detailed Description

The following disclosure describes various embodiments of the invention and methods of use in at least one of its preferred best mode embodiments as further defined in detail in the following description. Variations and modifications to what is described herein can be made by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. While this invention is susceptible of embodiment in different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail preferred embodiments of the invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the broad aspect of the invention to the embodiments illustrated. Unless stated otherwise, all features, units, components, functions, and steps described with respect to any embodiment provided herein are intended to be freely combinable with and substitutable with those from any other embodiment. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the illustrated content is for purposes of example only and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention.

In the following description and drawings, like elements are referred to by like reference numerals. Unless otherwise stated, the use of "e.g.," such as, "etc.," and "or" indicates a non-exclusive alternative, but is not limited thereto. The use of "including" or "comprising" means "including but not limited to" or "including but not limited to" unless otherwise specified.

As used herein, the term "and/or" disposed between a first entity and a second entity refers to one of (1) the first entity, (2) the second entity, and (3) the first entity and the second entity. Multiple entities listed with "and/or" should be construed in the same manner, i.e., "one or more" of the entities so combined. In addition to the entities specifically identified by the "and/or" clause, other entities may optionally be present, whether related or unrelated to those specifically identified entities. Thus, as a non-limiting example, when used in conjunction with open language such as "including," references to "a and/or B" may refer in one embodiment to only a (optionally including entities other than B); in another embodiment, only B (optionally including entities other than a); in yet another embodiment, refer to both a and B (optionally including other entities). These entities may refer to elements, acts, structures, steps, operations, values, etc.

As described below, various dimensions have been specified in the exemplary embodiment. The present disclosure is not limited to such dimensions, and any dimensions that still ensure educational and safety compliance as described herein may be used for the various components of the various toys described herein. Further, the various components are not limited to the shapes, sizes, colors, and/or materials described herein. Any shape, size, color, and/or material that still ensures educational and safety compliance as described herein may be used for the various components of the various toys described herein. The weight of the toy of the present application may be in accordance with the user's needs while meeting the safety and educational testing requirements of the present application. Finally, unless otherwise indicated, the various surfaces, sides, and features of the various components of the toy described herein are in accordance with the customary interpretation of such features by those skilled in the art.

The design disclosed in this application requires an in-depth understanding of the 0-3 year old child safety testing requirements (in multiple countries) and expert understanding of the design concepts of two educational courses (including the Mongolian shuttle course) and the 0-3 year old child creatives. For example, the weight, size, and shape of the finished toy and individual components are uniquely and minimally designed. Furthermore, these designs can maximize the number of common/common parts in a very creative process.

In some embodiments, the toys of the present disclosure may be manufactured to fit a particular age range of children 0-3 years old and designed to accommodate their hand size, have low weight to accommodate their muscular capacity, and the like. These concepts are a very important part of an educational course. In some embodiments, the design dimensions may be altered slightly to minimize the number of customized components.

In some embodiments, the present disclosure may include a set of toys with interchangeable components that may achieve at least the following goals:

significantly increasing the combined learning possibilities of the child (creating material capable of cultivating multiple skills by recombining parts in different ways, allowing a more personalized program: the level of challenge may be exactly what the child needs at any time, and the material may be configured by combining designs that are usually used alone with other designs to form material that supports simultaneous cultivation of multiple skills)

Reduced cost (in any possible way)

Reduce the size of transportation, and

extended service life through more flexible applications and multiple uses (e.g., these components can be used later for other disparate uses).

The toy of this disclosure can:

allowing sharing of parts between materials, thereby reducing costs considerably

Allowing unlimited expansion/customization of toys to increase learning opportunities not achievable with fixed design toys (e.g., a user can combine teaching features of two toys into one, e.g., combining shape classification skills of a Mail Box (or Mail Box) toy with Object Performance cognitive classes of an Object Performance Box 2 toy)

Allowing users to author their own self-customized extensions using existing Duplo/Lego building blocks

Allow longer life because users can use the assembly for other Duplo/Lego configurations long after completing their baby or toddler programs

Provide lower cost security testing and manufacturing requirements due to different materials and designs

Allowing users to place fully customized toys, challenges, and learning opportunities together from an educational perspective

Providing movable assemblies/parts bringing culture value and creativity

Allowing the part itself to have actual future play value-with many possibilities

Cost reduction (e.g., flat transport, standardized walls, fences, etc. will make it more affordable)

Extended service life

Allow unlimited educational configurations.

In some embodiments, glue (e.g., Monti Kids, Inc. glue, L8 fluent Set) may help bond the pieces together so they do not spread out during play, or for toys that use small parts. In some embodiments, the glue may be dissolved in warm water, for example, and the component (e.g., Lego)^TMParts, standardized parts) can be reused for other toys.

In some embodiments, the size of the toys may be uniform.

In some embodiments, the standardized parts may be slightly altered or enhanced from the original toy. For example, for a Box with Bins toy, where the drawer can remain open once opened and open on a pivot that enhances development wrist motion, color can be introduced through the front to reduce manufacturing costs. In some embodiments, the standardized parts maintain the high fidelity of the original toy. For example, a small ramp ensuring that the ball rolls in the correct direction and speed may be present in the original version and the present disclosure.

Figures 1 to 21 illustrate a dual-o device with a standard part that can be standardized so that the standard part can fit into the existing^TMAnd Lego^TMAnd may be used interchangeably with other toys of the present disclosure and assemblies disclosed in U.S. application No.16/543,493 and PCT application No. PCT/US2018/018544, both referenced and not referenced in the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the present disclosure may convert the assembled units of the toy (e.g., walls, covers, etc.) to fit the existing Duplo^TMSize, standardizing the size of each component to create a toy with components of other toys (e.g., FIG. 1 shows the wall of Object Permance Box1, which is common to the wall of the Coin Box), or standardizing the size of components within a toy to reduce manufacturingCost of manufacture (fewer unique parts per toy). Due to economies of scale of manufacture, it may be less expensive to use one wall size in one toy than two wall sizes in that toy (e.g., fig. 2).

For each of fig. 1-21, according to some embodiments, the wooden toy of the present disclosure may have one or more pieces that are standardized. The original toy is shown on top and the standardized parts are shown in the second column labeled "standardized parts for such toy".
