  • the advantage of the children's toy according to the invention exists on the one hand, that the child is assembling the elements need to recognize the magnetic connectivity and thereby achieve a learning success, and secondly, that the child does not use hard surfaces due to the textile coverings, such as the surfaces of the magnets, can come into direct contact. Prevent the textile coatings also that, for example, the child's fingers when Play with the elements sandwiched between two magnets become. Therefore, the children's toy according to the invention is already suitable for even very small children.
  • the textile coatings of the elements also serve to a, especially for children appealing appearance of the To create toys.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that two or more elements each comprise a permanent magnet, which below a portion of the textile cover is appropriate. Thus, two such elements be connected to each other by means of their permanent magnets.
  • the magnetic dipole axes may be substantially parallel to the connection surface at which the two Elements should be associated with each other, be aligned. This means that both the Nordals also the south pole of a permanent magnet always directly adjoin the connection plane, so that two aligned with such Permanent magnets are always equipped with each other can be associated.
  • this embodiment is particularly suitable for a lot small children.
  • magnétique dipole axes of the Aligning permanent magnets consists of two permanent magnets to arrange such that the two permanent magnets with different poles facing the interface, at which the two elements associated with each other should be.
  • one element has more than one permanent magnet and consequently with several elements is connectable.
  • the magnetic dipole axes substantially aligned orthogonal to the interface depends on the orientations of the magnetic dipole axes how many options there are for the child to put the elements together.
  • Children's toys is characterized in that at a Element under a section of the textile cover a part from a magnetizable material, which in particular a Metal can be attached. Another element points one below a section of the textile cover arranged on permanent magnets. The two elements are thus over the two sections of the textile coverings due to the underlying permanent magnet and the magnetizable part connected to each other.
  • the elements again more than one permanent magnet or more than have a magnetizable part. Furthermore, this can Embodiment also with the previously described embodiment of the invention are combined, i. some elements are via two permanent magnets connected to each other while other pairs of elements through the interaction between a Permanent magnets and a magnetizable part arise.
  • the elements can do so with permanent magnets and in particular be equipped with magnetizable parts, that few options or even just one way exists in which the elements are put together can be.
  • some elements are for this purpose equipped exclusively with magnetizable parts, while other elements only have permanent magnets. Consequently An element equipped with magnetizable parts only sticks on an element equipped with a permanent magnet. Because the assembly of such elements is relative to the child requires much understanding is the children's toys according to the invention in such a configuration only for infants suitable.
  • the magnetic dipole axes of the permanent magnets are preferable either substantially parallel or substantially aligned orthogonal to the connection surfaces.
  • the Consequences resulting from the respective orientation of the magnetic dipole axes have been explained above.
  • the surface portions of two Elements that interact in a magnetic connection have a corresponding surface geometry.
  • This causes certain surface geometries to vary Combinations of the elements already by the different surface geometries are excluded.
  • a magnetic connection is easier accomplish if the two belong together Surface sections a corresponding geometry exhibit. In particular, therefore, the connecting surfaces of Elements essentially just.
  • the carrier material the elements of a soft, yet dimensionally stable Material exists.
  • a soft foam such as Polyether foam.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized characterized in that provided in the elements recesses are, in which the permanent magnets and / or the magnetizable parts are accommodated so that they Surface geometries of the elements are adjusted. Thereby is both a risk of injury from additional edges avoided as well as aesthetic demands on the external shape of the elements is enough.
  • the textile coatings of the elements are chosen that at a meeting of two permanent magnets and / or a permanent magnet and a metal piece despite the damping by the coatings still a metallic Sound is heard. This will be the interest of the child the toy awakened.
  • the geometric shapes representing the elements as geometric Basic shapes are preferably cuboid, cubes, Cone, cylinder or discs or even from the mentioned Shapes composite shapes. At least each of these forms points a flat surface. This has an advantageous effect when joining the elements.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention Children's toys provides that part of an element or an element or several interconnected elements the outer shape of an animal or at least the outer shape of a part of an animal.
  • it can be It can be a sheep, a bear or a caterpillar.
  • an element can also be in the form of a house or a house Means of transport, such as a car, one Ship or an airplane. Through this Design should be aroused the interest of the child and at the same time the learning process of the child is promoted.
  • an element contains a means which one Sound or a sound, for example ringing, rattling or animal sounds, when produced on a particular Point of the element is pressed or when the element moves becomes.
  • the agent can make the sound or the sound either mechanically or generate electronically.
  • Figs. 1, 2 and 3 are as embodiments of the invention the children's toys 1, 2 and 3 shown.
