Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a toy, and particularly, to a magnet mounting component for mounting magnets, and a magnet toy.
  • the magnet toy allows a child to enjoy while creating buildings, automobiles, robots, etc. by assembling a plurality of blocks to each other using magnets.
  • the magnet toy has a structure that magnets are mounted to each surface of a toy body, and each toy can be freely coupled to each other as the mounted magnets are bonded to each other.
  • Every magnet has an 'N' pole and an 'S' pole. When the same poles are put together, a repulsive force occurs. This may allow components not to be coupled to each other. To prevent this, a method for freely rotating magnets is being proposed.

  • the magnet mounting component 30 basically includes a body portion 32 having a magnet accommodating space 30A, and having one open surface for accommodating the magnet 20 therein.
  • the magnet mounting component 30 has a cap structure. More specifically, the body portion 32 of the magnet mounting component 30 may include a closure part 32A to which the magnet 20 accommodated in the magnet accommodation space 30A clings by an attraction force with an external magnet 20' (i.e., a magnet mounted to another toy 2), and a circumference part 32B extending from the closure part 32A so as to form the aforementioned magnet accommodation space 30A together with the closure part 32A.
  • the magnet accommodating space 30A may be formed to be larger than the magnet 20 so that the magnet 20 accommodated in the magnet accommodating space 30A can sufficiently rotate with rolling continuously.
  • the magnet mounting component 30 may further comprise a separation preventing portion 34 for preventing the magnet 20 accommodated in the magnet accommodating space 30A of the body portion 32 from being separated the body portion 32 through the one open surface.
  • the separating preventing portion 34 may have a structure extending from the end of the one open surface (i.e., the end of the circumference part 32B of the body portion 32), to an inner region of the one open surface of the body portion 32. Under such configuration, the one open surface of the body portion 32 can be partially covered.
  • the separation preventing portion 34 may be implemented as a cover coupled to the body portion 32, and configured to cover the one open surface of the body portion 32.
  • the separation preventing portion 34 may be formed in various manners.
  • the magnet mounting component 30 may comprise a wedge portion 36 outward-protruding from the body portion 32 so as to be fixed to the body 10 of the magnet toy 2 where the magnet mounting component 30 is installed.
  • the wedge portion 36 may be formed in various manners.
  • the closure part 32A of the magnet mounting component 30 is formed to be non-magnetic, whereas at least part rather than the closure part 32A is formed of a magnetic part M to which the accommodated magnet 20 can cling.
  • FIGS. 2 , 3 , 5 , 6, 7, 8 and 10 if an external force for attracting the magnet 20 to the closure part 32A of the magnet mounting component 30 is not applied, the magnet 20 clings to the magnetic part M.
  • FIG. 9 if an external force is applied to attract the magnet 20 to the closure part 32A of the magnet mounting component 30 by an attraction force between the magnet 20 and the magnet 20 mounted to another magnet toy 2', in a state where the magnet 20 has clung to the magnetic part M, the magnet 20 is moved towards the closure part 32A from the magnetic part M thus to cling to the closure part 32A.
  • the magnet 20 can move with rolling continuously.
  • the generated sound may stimulate a child's hearing, so that the child's imagination power can be enhanced and the child can have continuous interests.
  • At least non-magnetic part of the magnet mounting component 30 is formed of a metallic material rather than wood or plastic, more clear and cheerful sound may be generated.
  • the magnet 20 In a state where the magnet 20 has clung to the magnetic part M of the magnet mounting component 30, if the magnet toy 2 is shaken or the body 10 of the magnet toy 2 or the magnet mounting component 30 is beat, the magnet 20 bounces off the magnet part M of the magnet mounting component 30. This may allow a user to have tension, and to have another interests and funs.
  • the magnet mounting component 30 may be formed in various manners. In order for the magnet toy 2 to be bonded to the another magnet toy 2' by an attraction force between the magnets 20, the magnet mounting component 30 is preferably formed so that a magnetic force between the magnet 20 of the magnet toy 2 and the magnetic part M can be smaller than a magnetic force between the magnet 20 of the magnet toy 2 and the magnet 20 of the another magnet toy 2'.
  • the magnetic part M is preferably formed of a material having magnetism less than that of a material (e.g., ferrite) of the magnet 20.
  • the magnet mounting component 30 is formed of a non-magnetic material, austenite-based stainless steel. And, part of the magnet mounting component 30 corresponding to the magnetic part M is processed to have a structural change into martensite. Or, magnetism occurring from the processing is not removed by a subsequent process. As a result, the magnet mounting component 30 having the magnetic part M and formed of a non-magnetic material can be fabricated.
  • the body part 32 including the closure part 32A of the magnet mounting component 30 is non-magnetic, and the separation preventing portion 34 or the wedge portion 36 constitute the magnetic part M through processing. And, the separation prevention portion 34 or the wedge portion 36 are disposed on the opposite side to the closure part 32A. Therefore, the magnet 20 accommodated in the magnet accommodating space 30A collides with the closure part 32A or the separation preventing portion 34 or the wedge portion 36 to generate a loud sound, while rotating according to whether a magnetic force between the magnet 20 and the external magnet 20' has been formed or not.
  • the magnet mounting component 30 may comprise a body member 100 formed of a non-magnetic material (e.g., austenite-based stainless steel), and having the magnet 20 rotatably accommodated therein; and a magnetic part forming member 110 formed of a material to which the magnet 20 accommodated in the body member 100 can cling, and provided at an inner side of the body member 100 to constitute the magnetic part M.
  • a non-magnetic material e.g., austenite-based stainless steel
  • the body member 100 may include the separation preventing portion 34 and the wedge portion 36 as well as the body portion 32. If magnetism occurs from the body member 100 through processing, the magnetism may be removed by a subsequent process such as a thermal process.
  • the magnetic part forming member 110 is preferably formed of a metallic material such as iron, rather than the material of the magnet 20 such as ferrite, so as to have a magnetic force smaller than a magnetic force between the magnet 20 and the magnet 20. It is advantageous for the magnetic part forming member 110 to be spaced from the closure part 32A so that a loud sound can be generated from the rotating magnet 20. Therefore, the magnetic part forming member 110 is preferably positioned at the end of the body member 100 opposite to the closure part 32A.
  • the magnet mounting component 30 may comprise a first member 120 formed of a non-magnetic material, and constituting part of the magnet accommodating space 30A for rotatably accommodating the magnet 20 therein; and a second member 130 constituting the rest of the magnet accommodating space 30A so as to implement the magnet accommodating space 30A by being coupled to the first member 120, and formed of a material to which the magnet 20 accommodated in the magnet accommodating space 30A can cling.
  • the second member 130 is preferably formed of a metallic material such as iron, rather than the material of the magnet 20 such as ferrite, so as to have a magnetic force smaller than a magnetic force between the magnet 20 and the magnet 20.
  • the first member 120 and the second member 130 may be formed in various shapes.
  • each of the first member 120 and the second member 130 is formed to have a cap structure.
  • a magnet 20 may be directly mounted to a magnet accommodating groove 12 of a body 10. That is, the magnet toy 2 may include a body 10 having a magnet accommodating groove 12; a magnet 20 rotatably accommodated in the magnet accommodating groove 12 of the body 10; a covering member 200 formed of a non-magnetic material and covering the magnet accommodating groove 12 of the body 10; and a magnetic part forming member 110 provided at one side of the magnet accommodating groove 12 of the body 10, and formed of a material to which the magnet 20 can cling.
  • the magnet 20 maintains a clung state to the magnet part forming member 110. On the contrary, if an attraction force with the external magnet 20' is applied, the magnet 20 is bonded to the covering member 200.
  • the covering member 200 may be formed of a metallic material.
  • the magnetic part forming member 110 is spaced from the covering member 200.
