Field of the invention

This invention relates to a model assembly comprising at least one mounting surface and a plurality of blocks in the form of flowers, grasses, trees, figures, animals and castles that can be freely placed on the mounting surface to create various combinations.

Background of the invention

There are many educational games on the market, especially the didactic educational games based on advanced technology, which offer various opportunities for children and even for many adults who are enthusiastic about didactic educational games.

Educational toys that can be assembled and disassembled multiple times also have an educational and entertaining effect. The most common educational games include toys with a 3D effect (such as puzzles), all of which are characterized by simple design, high scientific interest, low price, easy learning and understanding, and as a result are becoming increasingly popular. However, most conventional block-shaped toys are made up of elementary geometric blocks in a simple and unexciting shape and can only be used to build simple stacks and combinations in the game.

Since most blocks have the same shape, they cannot offer different combinations and therefore cannot be integrated into the story in the way that the players imagine. This reduces the level of interest in educational games.

Summary of the invention

The main aim of the invention is to provide a model assembly comprising at least one mounting surface and a plurality of blocks in the form of flowers, grasses, trees, figures, animals and castles. These can be freely arranged on the mounting surface to form various combinations. The model assembly has multiple functions of complementary teaching, entertainment and didactics.

According to the invention, the model assembly includes at least one mounting surface, more than one tree block, a castle composed of several castle wall blocks, more than one person block with different postures, and at least one flower and grass block; the position of the blocks can be changed freely. The mounting surface is a flat plate of irregular shape, and all the other blocks have their own flat area on the bottom so that they can be placed on the mounting plate to form different appearances.

Another object of the invention is to provide a model arrangement in which each design block has its own specific new simulated shape, and the position of the block can be freely changed based on the player's story to make the game more interesting and varied.

Another object of the invention is to provide a model assembly that can be freely and creatively combined to form various 3-D decorative shapes when used as interior decoration for houses.

Short [description of the drawings

Further features and advantages of the present invention will become clear from the following description of preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 shows the first embodiment of the invention;

Fig. 2 shows the second embodiment of the invention.

Detailed description of the preferred embodiments

Fig. 1 shows the first embodiment of the invention. The model arrangement according to the invention consists of at least one fastening surface 10, more than one tree block 11, a castle 12 consisting of several castle wall blocks 13, 14, 15, 16, more than one person block in different postures 17 and at least one flower and grass block 18.

The mounting surface 10 of the model assembly is a flat plate which has an irregular shape and can be of any colour.

The tree block 11 of the model assembly has a flat area on the bottom so that the tree block 11 can be placed at any location on the mounting surface 10.

The lock 12 of the model arrangement consists of several lock wall blocks 13, 14, 15, 16 which are plugged onto the fastening surface 10. The lock wall blocks 13, 14, 15, 16 can have the same or different appearances and shapes. The size of the lock 12 can be changed depending on the number of lock wall blocks that are used.

The person block 17 of the model arrangement consists of people in various simulated person formations. Each group of people has a flat bottom so that the person block can be attached to any location on the mounting surface.

The flower and grass block 18 of the model assembly has a flat bottom so that it can be attached to any location on the mounting surface.

Since each design block has a specific design modeled on it, it can be placed anywhere on the mounting surface 10 according to the story created by the player. The player can change the position of the design block at will, thereby making the game more interesting and varied.

Fig. 2 shows the second embodiment of the invention. The block arrangement comprises at least one mounting surface 20, more than one mountain block 21, at least one tree block 22, more than one flower and grass block 23, more than one person block 24, more than one animal block 25 and more than one furniture block 26.

As in the first embodiment, each type of design block has different reenacted formations, and each design block has a flat bottom so that it can be attached to any location on the attachment surface 20. Since each design block has a specific reenacted formation, it can be attached to any location on the attachment surface 20 according to the story designed by the player.

The player can freely change the position of the design block

and thereby make the game more interesting and varied.

When used not as a toy but as an interior decoration for houses, the model arrangement described above can be freely and creatively combined to create various 3D decoration arrangements.

As a result, the invention can not only be used as a toy and can be freely combined according to the story thought up by the player, but also as an interior decoration for houses. It is suitable for players of all ages, very interesting and full of unprecedented educational value.
