Description

Toy

Technical field

The present invention relates to a toy.Particularly, the present invention relates to the toy formed by the part that a plurality of phase mutual energy connect.

Background of invention

Not only be used to impel outside children play with toy to the big baby of some months or to child's toy, also be used for children are experienced the learning experience of a success.Toy with regard to the children that are used for this age the most important thing is that toy does not injure children.

Summary of the invention

Therefore the purpose of this invention is to provide and be used for from the big children of some months and be used for child's a toy, it can make children obtain the learning experience of a success, plays simultaneously and does not injure children.

By the feature of claim 1 realized the present invention based on purpose.Superior development and improvement have been stipulated in other claims.

Comprise a plurality of parts according to toy of the present invention.These parts can be interconnected and use very little strength that they are separated from each other by at least one magnet.In addition, with topped each part of a textile material.

An advantage according to toy of the present invention is that children must discern the magnetic connection possibility when these parts are linked together, thereby obtain the learning experience of a success, second advantage is because textile topped, and children directly do not contact with hard surface, for example magnet surface.The textile overcoat prevents also that when children play with this part for example children's finger is sandwiched between two magnet.Therefore according to toy of the present invention even be suitable for very little children.

And the textile overcoat of all parts also is used as provides its appearance especially to the attractive toy of children.

Embodiments of the invention have been prepared two or more parts, and each part comprises the permanent magnet under the zone that is assemblied in the multiple layer of textile.Therefore, two parts of this type of permanent magnet by them can interconnect.

But this work only is whether two field axis of permanent magnet suitably align.To this, it also is suitable that various possibilities are arranged.

For example, two field axis can be basically parallel to two parts interconnective connection surface and align.The north and south poles that this means a permanent magnet always is directly adjacent to the connection surface, and two parts that permanent magnet consequently is housed always can align mutually in interconnective mode.

When attempting to make the two parts that constitute in this way to interconnect, wherein a part must be in contact with one another until the two-part different utmost point around rotating perpendicular to an axis of magnet that connects the surface in some cases.More or less automatically found the tram but the interaction of magnetic means, it all is successful so attempting to interconnect these two parts at every turn.Therefore this improvement is particularly suitable for or even very little children.

Another possibility of two field axis of alignment permanent magnet is in such mode two permanent magnets to be set, and promptly two permanent magnets are in the face of connecting the surface, and the two parts that have different poles in the connection surface interconnect.

If it is staggered relatively mutually in the connection surface to have two magnet of same pole, these children can not connect these two parts so.Therefore this infantile study can distinguish can be interconnective all to part with can not be interconnective those to part.Because the requirement of children's increase, so only be suitable for small children according to this improvement of toy of the present invention.

Considered that also a part has more than one permanent magnet, therefore can connect a plurality of parts.If two field axis are basically perpendicular to the connection surface in alignment, according to the orientation of two field axis, the many possibilities that exist children that all parts are linked together.

Another preferable improved being characterised in that according to toy of the present invention: may be that the parts that a magnetizable material of a metal is made are contained under the zone of the multiple layer of textile especially in a part.Another part has the permanent magnet under the zone that also is arranged on the multiple layer of weaving.Because permanent magnet and magnetisable parts are arranged under two zones of the multiple layer of textile, so can interconnect these two parts by two zones of the multiple layer of textile.

Also among of the present invention this improved, all parts can have more than one permanent magnet or more than one magnetisable parts once more.And this improvement can also combine with the improvement of the invention described above, promptly can interconnect by some part of two permanent magnets, produces other to part by the interaction between a permanent magnet and magnetisable parts simultaneously.

In in the end analyzing, all parts can be equipped with permanent magnet by this mode, and magnetisable parts especially are housed, and the possibility that promptly only has the wherein all parts of minority to combine exists, and perhaps even just have only this possibility to exist.For this purpose, some part preferably is equipped with magnetizable parts uniquely, and other parts only have permanent magnet simultaneously.The part that therefore magnetisable parts are housed only is attached to the part that a permanent magnet is housed.Because these parts link together and require children's higher relatively understandability, therefore this improvement according to toy of the present invention only is suitable for small children.

Above-mentioned permanent magnet and magnetisable parts how can in conjunction with all possibilities in, two field axis of permanent magnet preferably are basically parallel to and connect the surface or be basically perpendicular to the connection surface in alignment.Below explained the consequence that concrete orientation produced of two field axis.

The two-part surface portion of butt joint advantageously has a morphology that mates mutually mutually in a magnetic connects.Wherein the effect of morphology variation is because different morphologies has been got rid of some possibility in conjunction with all parts.In addition, if two mutual surface portions have a geometry of mating mutually, so just more easily produce a magnetic and connect.Especially, therefore the connection of all parts surface is flat substantially.

In order to eliminate injury children's danger as much as possible, also be stable material if the stock of all parts is soft, size aspect, this is further favourable.Especially, a soft foamed material, for example the polyether foam material is suitable for stock.

Another preferable improved being characterised in that of the present invention: all parts are provided with cutouts, permanent magnet and/or magnetisable parts are remained among the cutouts in this way, are about to that they are consistent with the morphology of all parts.This has been avoided damaging any danger of two additional sides and has also satisfied requirement attractive in appearance on the outer shape of all parts.

Preferably select the multiple layer of textile of all parts in this way, promptly when two permanent magnets and/or a permanent magnet contact with metal level parts, though multiple layer of buffering that is provided arranged, still can hear a metal sound.This causes the interest of children to this toy.

The geometry that all parts have, be preferably the other shape of rectangular hexahedron, tubular, taper, cylindrical or dish type or above-mentioned combination of shapes as geometrical basic shape.Each shape of these shapes has at least one plane surface.This is favourable for all parts are combined.

According to one of toy of the present invention preferable especially improvement is the profile of the part of a local or part or a plurality of part for an interconnective part profile that one animal is provided or at least one animal.Especially, this can be a sheep, a bear or a caterpillar.And, a part can also be designed to the shape in a house or the shape of a means of transport, for example an automobile, a ship or an aircraft.This improvement is used for improving children's interest, also promotes children's study course simultaneously.

Preferably at least one zone of the multiple layer of the textile of a part of being made up of a reflection foil, fleecy cloth, coarse cloth or plastic components is used for identical purpose.

In addition, for this purpose, also a part is advantageously comprised as to a certain position pressurization of this part or move this part and just produce a sound or a sound, for example the tinkle of bells.One device of click sound or animal sounds.This device can be mechanically or is produced sound or sound electronically.

Below with reference to accompanying drawing, explain the present invention in detail with way of example, in the accompanying drawings:

Fig. 4 to 7 is depicted as the

toy

10,20,30 of another one exemplary embodiment form of the present invention and the schematic diagram of 40 front view.The part 1, part 2 and the part 3 that further specify above-mentioned toy 1,2 and 3 hereinafter with reference to these front views can interconnective modes.

Toy 10 shown in Figure 4 is made up of part 1, part 2 and part 3.Part 1, part 2 and part 3 have the corresponding block of foam material 101,102 and 103 as essential part, and these block of foam material become a taper, a tubular or rectangular hexahedron shape.In each situation, answer layer 104,105 and 106 topped block of foam material 101,102 and 103 with a textile respectively.

Respectively by permanent magnet 110 and 113 and metal dish 111 and 112 produce magnetic interactions between parts 1 and part 2 or part 2 and the part 3.For this purpose, respectively permanent magnet 110 and metal dish 111 are embedded in the cutouts in block of

foam material

101 and 102 and are incorporated into foamed material.One metal dish 112 is contained on the opposite side of block of foam material 102 in the same manner.And a permanent magnet 113 is embedded in the block of foam material 103.

Connect thereby can form a metastable magnetic between part 1, part 2 and part 3, it is flat connecting the surface in each situation.

Permanent magnet 110 is surperficial in the face of being connected with opposed polarity with 113 in each situation, thereby part 1 also can directly be connected mutually with part 3.

Constitute the multiple layer 104,105 and 106 of textile in such mode, promptly when part 1, part 2 and part 3 combine permanent magnet 110 and 113 with metal dish 111 and 112 between provide and be enough to produce one than stablizing a magnetic interaction that is connected.In order to produce a more stable connection, the multiple layer 104,105 and 106 of textile should be too not thick.But by relatively, the multiple layer 104,105 and 106 of textile must have a certain intensity, thus with permanent magnet 110 and 113 and the danger of the caused injury of crust of metal dish 111 and 112 reduce to minimum.

In addition, design the multiple layer 104,105 and 106 of textile, promptly when part 1, part 2 and part 3 combine, can hear to make the interested metallic sound of children in such mode.

Toy 20 shown in Figure 5 is identical with toy 10 shown in Figure 4 substantially.Therefore the structure same section is represented with same numeral in Figure 4 and 5.

Toy 20 is with a difference of toy 10: in the situation of toy 20, replace metal dish 111 and 112 with permanent magnet 115 and 116.Another difference is: this moment, permanent magnet 114,115,116 and 117 two field axis were parallel to surface in alignment.Therefore, part 1, part 2 and part 3 always can be in combination over the ground.

Toy 30 shown in Figure 6 is with the different of toy 20 shown in Figure 5: permanent magnet 118,119,120 aligns perpendicular to being connected the surface with 121 two field axis.In addition, the magnetic pole of align in this way permanent magnet 118,119,120 and 121, promptly part 1, part 2 and part 3 only can combine with order shown in Figure 6.This measure has increased the requirement to children.

Toy 40 shown in Figure 7 has further increased degree of difficulty.Compare with toy 30, put upside down the polarity of permanent magnet 124 at this.Therefore, if between part 2 and part 3, insert another part 4, only can be with order shown in Figure 7 in conjunction with toy 40, described another part 4 comprises by multiple layer 108 topped dish type block of foam material 107 and two

metal dish

125 and 126 that are embedded in the block of foam material 107 of a textile.
