More particularly, the invention relates to an intelligence enhancing toy, which comprises several U-shaped units that may be joined together and in which several pivotal points are formed to allow the toy of the present invention to be bent and arranged into several configurations.
- There have been many types of intelligence enhancing toys, such as building blocks and Magic Cube (Rubik's Cube). However, these two types of toys have the following disadvantages:
- 1. A set of building blocks usually comprises many blocks and such set is usually quite bulky; therefore, such toy is usually played only at home because it is not easy to be carried around.
- 2. In regard to Magic Cube, though the toy may be carried around easily, it is quite difficult to play Therefore, it would be quite easy for a player to lose interest in the toy.
- From the above, we can see that the toys of the prior art have many disadvantages and need to be improved.
- To eliminate the disadvantages of the toys of the prior art, the inventor has put a lot of effort into the subject and has successfully come up with the intelligence enhancing toy of the present invention.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an intelligence enhancing toy that comprises several components and in which several pivotal pints are formed. These pivotal points allow the toy of the present invention to be bent and arranged into several configurations. Therefore, the toy of the present invention provides a great way to kill time and to enhance intelligence for children.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an intelligence enhancing toy that may be folded together into a flat, compact condition, which allows it to be carried around easily.
- To reach these objects, the intelligence enhancing toy of the present invention is disclosed. The intelligence enhancing toy of the present invention comprises a largest unit, a set of middle units and a smallest unit. The set of middle units may be arranged in a tapering or telescopic manner. The largest unit and each middle unit have a U shape. The largest unit and each middle unit have two prongs parallel to each other. An engagement hole is formed on each prong of the largest unit and each middle unit, and an engagement protrusion is formed on each prong of each middle unit and the smallest unit. Therefore, these engagement protrusions and engagement holes allow the largest unit, middle units and smallest unit to be joined together; in addition, these engagement protrusions and engagement holes form several pivotal points, which allow the toy of the present invention to be bent and arranged into several configurations and also allow it to be folded together into a flat, compact condition, which allows it to be stored away and carried around easily.
