Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a toy block consisting of at least one block unit that has 50 faces and a toy blocks game set consisting of said toy blocks.

DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART

The traditional toy blocks are usually made into square, triangle or other geometrical shapes for assembling different objects. However, variety of the object which can be built is often restricted by the shapes of the toy blocks. To improve, some toy blocks are composed of single or multiple spherical block units; spherical units allow the user to be able to assemble more complicate object, but since contacting surface of the spherical unit is less than other shape, the assembled object is easier to collapse. To support said toy block, a game tray having multiples grooves for receiving said block units is further provided, however the required space for the game is increased. Therefore, to find a toy block that can stand firmly on a planar surface has become the primary object of the present invention.
Further, said spherical surface may become slippy as the fingers of the user are wet, making the toy block difficult to be held. Thus, to provide a toy block which can be grasped firmly even the finger is wet has become another objective of the present invention.
Applicant has dedicated to design intellectual games for years, and various models with different playing rules has been invented, such as cited document 1, US 6, 220, 919 , entitled "ASSEMBLED BUILDING BLOCK FOR FORMING VARIOUS GEOMETRICAL SHAPES WITH CORNERS HAVING ANGLES 60 DEGREES, 90 DEGREES AND 120 DEGREES", by referring to Fig. 1 of the cited document 1, it discloses a game set having 18 assembling pieces, each is formed by 3 to 6 spherical units. As each unit is joined to another horizontally or vertically, when assembling a pyramid, they can only form a square pyramid as shown in Figs. 16~19, but unable to assemble a triangular pyramid.
In cited document 2, US 2010/0237561 , entitled "TOY BLOCK ASSEMBLY PUZZLE", it discloses a game set includitig 11 assembling pieces, each is also formed by 3 to 6 spherical unit. The game teaches a new concept of playing the game by limiting the pieces can only be inserted diagonally with an angle of 45 degree; however, it can't be used to form any 3-dimentional shape.
In cited document 3, TW M372207 , entitled "A toy block set formed by 54 block units" discloses a game set including 12 assembling pieces, having total 54 cubic block units. By referring to Figs. 18~21, a triangular pyramid having 21 units for the base and six units for the height can be formed by said 12 pieces; however, a 56 units is required to build the pyramids, thus a game tray having 19 position holes must be provided to complete the assembly.
Moreover, invention from other inventor, such as cited document 4, US 7, 140, 612 , entitled "Cubic assembly puzzle and support structure" of Ronghao Chen discloses an intellectual game having cubic building blocks which can assemble a 3-dimentional shape (Fig. 19), but fails to form a pyramid.
Therefore, to design a new intellectual game which permit the user to build a triangular pyramid firmly even without a supporting structure has become another objective of the present invention.
The document GB 2 396 569 discloses another known constructional toy. The preamble of claim 1 is based on this document.

Sixth layer (Bottom layer): 21 one units.
Total: 56 units

For a fast and secure assembly, said pyramid formed by all 12 toy blocks can be set upon a first game tray (20a), as shown in Fig. 7, having 21 position holes (21) provided thereon for receiving the 21 units of the bottom layer of the pyramid. 15 of said position holes (21) are arranged in an outer triangle (23), approximate to an edge of the game tray (20a), and 6 of said position holes (21) are arranged in an inner triangle (22), set in a center of the outer triangle (23). The outer triangle (23) is an equilateral triangle having 6 position holes (21) provided on each side thereof, and said inner triangle (22) is also an equilateral triangle having 3 position holes (21) provided on each side thereof.
Each position hole (21) is a concave having 19 faces arranged in 3 layers, which match the arrangement of the first to third layers or the seventh to fifth layers of the block unit, listed as follows:

A first layer including one hexagonal face, provided horizontally as a bottom of the concave.
A second layer including six adjacent pentagonal faces;
A third layer including twelve adjacent pentagonal faces.

Figs. 9 and 10 illustrate two possible solutions to assemble the triangular pyramid by showing the cross sectional views thereof. The alphabet shown in the center of the unit indicates the corresponding toy block. More alternative ways can be used to form the pyramid and should not be limited to the solutions disclosed herewith.
The 12 toy blocks (A-L) can be divided into two groups, the first croup (10a) includes blocks A-G, while the second group (10b) includes blocks H-L. The five toy blocks of said first group (10A) can be assembled to form a smaller triangular pyramid having a base with 5 block units provided on each side and a height of 5 block units.
The pyramid assembled by the blocks of first group (10a) is shown in Figs. 11 and 12, and relative quantity of block units (10) to construct each layer are disclosed as follows:

First layer (Top layer): 1 unit.
Second layer: 3 units.
Third layer: 6 units.
Fourth layer: 10 units.
Fifth layer: 15 units.
Total: 35 units

Figs. 13 and 14 illustrate two possible solutions to assemble the mentioned pyramid by showing the cross sectional views thereof. The alphabet shown in the center of each unit indicates the corresponding toy block. More alternative ways can be used to form the pyramid and should not be limited to the solutions disclosed herewith.
Both pyramids can be built upon the first game tray (20a) as shown in Figs. 6, 7, 11 & 12; however, a smaller second game tray (20b) can be used specifically to support the pyramid built by blocks of first group (10).
Referring to Figs. 15-17, said second game tray (20b) has 15 position holes (21) provided thereon for receiving said blocks of the first group (10a). Similar to the first game tray (20a), 12 of total 15 position holes (21) are arranged to form an outer triangle (25), approximate to an edge of the game tray (20b), and 3 position holes (21) are arranged to form an inner triangle (24), set in a center of the outer triangle. The outer triangle (25) is an equilateral triangle having 5 position holes (21) provided on each side thereof, said inner triangle (24) is another equilateral triangle having 2 position holes (21) provided on each side thereof.
Each position hole (21) of the second game tray (20b) has the same configuration as of the first game tray (20a), therefore, no further description is described hereafter.
Fig. 18 shows a closer view of the arrangement of toy blocks, unlike the inventions mentioned in previous cited references, which a toy block usually contacts to another by a point. The 50 faces defined on the surface of the unit increase the contacting area, which can secure the assembly, allowing both pyramids being able to stand without the game tray.
Referring to Fig. 19, when assembling the pyramid, each unit (10) of upper layer will be support by at least 2 block units (10) of below layer, thus the stability of pyramid is improved. Fig. 20 shows a unit of a toy block is provided in the position hole (21) with an inclination. Such pose can't be performed if the block unit has a spherical shape. The design of the block unit can secure the position of the toy block, beneficial as the toy block needs to be placed by an inclination.
