In order to manufacture said game module (14) at low cost, the latter is made from ground corn, for example by injection and foam moulding, such as is known per se in plastics transformation. The invention offers the advantage of an ecophile production from an inexpensive material with regrowth, completely biodegradable and not constituting a health hazard when it is used.
Description
The present invention relates to a kind of game element, for example have for a kind of toy figure of child play or the form of toy assembly.This known type toy element is particularly made with plastics, and shape miscellaneous and moulding are arranged.The shortcoming of this known type toy element is: they are quite expensive, for example in day nursery, because financially, only may purchase a limited number of these type toys.Another shortcoming of this known type toy element is: their production takes the energy very much, it produces the supply that required raw material can only be limited, and their final recycling is impossible, and perhaps just part is possible at most, also need pay very big expense, consume a lot of energy.
Task of the present invention is to propose game element that this class can be produced the pressure of environment at an easy rate tinily and that handle with can not influencing environmental protection.
According to the present invention, above-mentioned task is to solve by the feature described in the claim 1.The game element that the present invention proposes is to utilize the primitive form of a kind of raw material that regrows out such as plant or crops and change form to produce.This game element does not influence environmental protection.Produce from it, advantage is very little to the pressure of environment, and energy resource consumption is low, and its required raw material are not those only raw material of supply on restriction.From the processing aspect, the advantage of this game element that the present invention proposes is; It is fully can be biolytic, does not influence environmental protection in other words, and it can be used as fertilizer, perhaps can dissolving fully in water.This game element that the present invention proposes also has another advantage, is exactly when using it, and when taking it, does not endanger people's health.In addition, because it is very cheap to be used for producing the raw material of this game element, so its production cost is very worthwhile.
The game element that the present invention proposes can many-sidedly be used, and especially concerning children, is that requirement is creationary therefore.Say that on limited degree it can flexibly and/or plastically be out of shape, perhaps by changing to a kind of blank interpolation water that can be moulding.For example it can be cut, and perhaps processes dividually with hand without instrument, and changes the profile of this game element by this way.In addition, boring also can be accomplished without a doubt, for example in order with a rope several game elements to be together in series and to hole.Can stick with glue agent several game elements are bonded together, game element also can dye or japanning.
For bonding, dyeing and/or japanning, preferably use worrying and not biodegradable adhesive, pigment and/or lacquer on solvent-free, the health, as everybody was familiar with those.By japanning, game element can obtain the hard surface that resistivity is arranged of one deck, and can improve its rigidity and intensity.The material property of game element, as intensity, elasticity, plasticity, can have purpose to be modulated by additive, this additive particularly similarly be made up of as string the byproduct of obtaining in the raw material that can regrow out.In addition, in the game element manufacture process, exert pressure, also can on purpose modulate the intensity of toy to raw material.
The moulding of game element almost is random.The design that proposes according to the present invention, game element is imitated according to a people, animal, the same plant or an object, and the body of the various like this imaginations can be realized.Therefore, this game element does not need reprocessing just can directly be used as toy.
According to another kind of structure of the present invention, this game element is as the toy assembly design, so it can get up with other toy assembly pine loose ground assembly, perhaps coated with adhesive is joined together it.For example can produce animal shape or building according to this method.The game element that the present invention proposes designs as toy assembly, preferably has a kind of simple, three-dimensional geometrical body, for example also can be designed to rectangular parallelepiped or cylinder, even plate, can produce various toys or toy assembly with these game elements by separating processing.
According to a kind of structure of the present invention; this game element utilizes grain to make raw material, and grain is ground to form a kind of particle or powder, then according to the manufacture of working of plastics; adopt a kind of manufacturing process such as casting, mold pressing, extruding or die casting, produce game element from above-mentioned powder.Add after water or the water vapour, cereals meal can be transformed into liquid, muciform, soft seemingly state dough or plastic.
The most handy corn of this game element is made raw material, just is made with the iblet of wearing into corn flour or corn flour.Instead of corn also can be considered with other cereal such as wheat, rye, barley, rice, even other crops such as mealy potato, tapioca.Can add additives to this grain dust, as polyvinyl alcohol, water, yeast powder, and other decomposable additive, as softening agent water for example, multivalence alcohol is ethylene glycol, glyceryl alcohol, sweet mellow wine, sorbierite and other polyalcohols and polyethylene glycol or their derivative for example.
According to a development of the present invention, this game element is to handle by the foaming of raw material to make.
The game element that the present invention proposes is modulation treatment in addition, to give its a kind of elasticity/plasticity.This point means: game element after just for example coming out from extruder, should for example be placed in the storehouse under pressurized conditions with the water vapour loading after its original shaping or distortion immediately.Also can form a kind of shell of game element by this modulation.
According to a development of the present invention, game element is modulation treatment in addition not, on the contrary but make it to become fragile.This point for example can realize by the heating and the drying of game element.The thermal capacity that game element is had after its original shaping or distortion often is enough to satisfy dry needs.The game element of fragility has following advantage: it can crumb or rub with the hands and be broken into the bits sheet with hand, perhaps rub with the hands thinner particle or the powder of forming.Like this, the game element that the present invention proposes just can enlarge its scope of application, and improves the characteristic that it requires creativity.For example can produce landscape painting with this game element of pinching into chip, for example make liner with paper for this reason, local finite system ground coated with adhesive spreads chip thereon.Chip sticks to the place that scribbles adhesive, and unnecessary chip can be disposed without difficulty.Also can produce picture according to corresponding method, especially chip or particle have dyeed, and in this case, the different parts of liner can be spread layer with the chip of different colours or the particle of different colours successively.
Game element fragility, dry, that non-modulated is handled also has another advantage: for example by wetting, it can be transformed into a kind of plasticity material by suction, this material be can be shaped arbitrarily and also can harden.Like this, the game element of the present invention's proposition can enlarge its multiaspect performance again.
According to a development of the present invention, game element is dyeed.This way has such advantage on the one hand, and promptly the game element of polychrome has big attraction to children, and more various moulding possibility is arranged.Another advantage is; The game element of polychrome can be crumbed or rubs chip or the particle that is broken into different colours with the hands with hand, thereby increases its moulding possibility.The dyeing of game element can realize by the way to raw material adding colouring agent in the manufacture process of game element.Colouring agent for example can be pulverous, liquid, perhaps also can in oil, dissolve.Add a kind of drying for example powdery or even a kind of colouring agent that is dissolved in the oil, its advantage is that the moisture content in the raw material does not increase.
