Abstract

A 3D jigsaw building block, belonging to the toy or gift field, comprising many blocks (1) overlapped together, wherein each transparent block has a gap or gaps(10). These blocks are overlapped together in a certain order and the gaps form one or several internally-concave 3D pictures (2). This structure integrates building blocks and a jigsaw into one toy, so it is much more beloved by children.

Description

Field of technology

The utility model relates to a toy or a gift, and more especially, to a 3D jigsaw building block.

Background of the technology

As a child's intelligent toy, jigsaw is widely favored by parents and children since it can not only exercise the player's manipulative ability, but also enhance the player's cerebrum ability to think. However, in the present market, the jigsaw is only limited to plane jigsaws. While the building block can constitute a 3D structure, it can not form a 3D jigsaw simultaneously.

Summary of the utility model

The present utility model aims to provide a 3D jigsaw building block integrating both building block and jigsaw through overcoming the defects of the abovementioned existing technology.
To realize the aforesaid objective, the present utility model takes the following technical solution: a 3D jigsaw building block, comprising many blocks overlapping together, wherein the multiple blocks are all transparent with each one having a gap or gaps. These blocks are overlapped together in a certain order and the gaps form one or several internally-concave 3D pictures.
The present utility model further has the following accessorial technical characteristics:

A tenon (11) is configured firmly at four corners respectively of one transparent block for each neighboring two transparent blocks (1), another transparent block is provided with tenon slots (12) fit for the tenons in corresponding positions.

Each transparent block between the initial and terminal two blocks is divided into multiple small blocks.
There are two transparent blocks.
Corresponding colors are painted on the inner wall of each gap (10).
The tenons (11) and tenon slots (12) are excessively cooperated.
Compared with the existing technology, the present utility model has the following favorable effects: many transparent blocks, with each one having a gap or gaps, are overlapped together in a certain order and the gaps form one or several internally-concave 3D pictures. Therefore, this structure integrates building blocks and jigsaws into one toy, much more beloved by children.

Brief Description of the Drawings

Detailed description of the embodiments

The present utility model is further detailed in combination with the drawings attached and embodiments hereinafter:

Figure 1~Figure 3 show a preferred embodiment provided by the present utility model: a 3D jigsaw building block, comprising many transparent blocks (1) overlapped together with each one having a gap or gaps (10). These blocks (1) are overlapped together in a certain order and the gaps form one or several internally-concave 3D pictures (2), such as a child, etc. toy pictures welcomed by children. Since children are required to assemble and disassemble multiple transparent blocks (1) successively until achieving the correct picture, a tenon (11) is configured firmly at four corners respectively of one transparent block for each neighboring two transparent blocks (1), another transparent block is provided with tenon slots (12) fit for the tenons in corresponding positions and the tenons (11) and tenon slots (12) are excessively cooperated. This enables the assembly and disassembly between two neighboring transparent blocks to become convenient.

Another preferred embodiment provided by the present utility model has the same structure with the embodiment (1). All transparent blocks between the initial and terminal two transparent blocks (1) are divided into three, four, five or more small blocks (the figures only show the condition that all transparent blocks between the initial and terminal two transparent blocks (1) are divided into four small blocks, wherein the two transversal and vertical broken lines extending to the edge of the transparent blocks (1) are partition lines), in this way, the more the small blocks are divided, the more difficult the embodiment is to put together.
Moreover, in order to make the 3D picture look brighter and catch more children's eyes, corresponding colors can be painted on the inner wall of each gap (10).
To sum up, both embodiments integrate the jigsaw and building block together, thus not only exercising the player's manipulative ability, enhancing the player's cerebrum ability to think, but improving the player's enjoyment in using it.
Furthermore, a 3D jigsaw building block, formed by two transparent blocks (1) overlapped together only, each transparent block is provided with a gap or gaps (10), two transparent blocks are overlapped together and the gap forms one or more internally-concave 3D pictures (2), wherein a tenon (11) is configured firmly at four corners respectively of one transparent block, another transparent block is provided with tenon slots (12) fit for the tenons in corresponding positions. This structure can form a gift.
