ている。[0003] As an example thereof, one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-58498 is composed of a connecting pipe and an elastic connecting device having a plurality of connecting limbs of the same thickness. The adjacent angle of the adjacent limb in the plane is set to be larger (to 120 degrees) than the angle at the time of use, and the limb is bent from its base in a desired direction at the time of use to adjust to the required angle. Are ready to use.
【0004】この組立知育玩具では、複数本の連結パイ

肢を有する連結具4個を用意し、各連結具の2つの連結
肢を90度に折り曲げて連結パイプ端部に差し込んで連
結すれば、正方形の形状体を組み立てることができる。For example, in order to assemble the most basic square shape, four connecting pipes of a predetermined length and four connecting tools having two connecting limbs are prepared, and two connecting limbs of each connecting tool are connected.

結肢を折り曲げて角度調整を行うと、連結肢は、弾性に
より伸展傾向を示すので、先に、連結肢を必要な角度に
折り曲げておいて、そのまま連結パイプの端部に差し込
んで連結することはできないものである。However, in the assembling educational toy having the above structure, the connecting tool is made of an elastic material, and the adjacent angle of the adjacent connecting limb is set to an angle larger than an angle required at the time of use. When the angle is adjusted by bending the connecting limb at the time of use, the connecting limb tends to expand due to elasticity.Bend the connecting limb to the required angle first, and leave the end of the connecting pipe as it is. It cannot be inserted into a part and connected.
【0007】従って、実際の組み立て作業では、先に、
連結肢を連結パイプの一方の端部に差し込んでから、連

作業の手順などが要求されるので、簡単な平面形状体を
組み立てるにしても、幼児や低学年児童等にとっては、
一人で思い通りに組み立てることは難しいものである。Therefore, in actual assembly work, first,
Inserting the connecting limb into one end of the connecting pipe, bending the connecting limb with the connecting pipe in hand, maintaining this state, and connecting the other connecting pipe end is necessary. The workability is poor. In addition, such assembling work requires a certain amount of dexterity,
Work procedures are required, so even if a simple planar body is assembled, for infants and younger children,
It is difficult to assemble by yourself.

体が自然に形崩れするようなこともあり、組み立てた後
の形状体の安定性にも不安がある。Further, as described above, in the connecting device made of an elastic material, even after assembling the desired shape, the connecting limb bent at the time of assembling shows a tendency to elongate. There is a case where the shaped body naturally falls out of the end of the pipe, and there is a concern about the stability of the shaped body after assembly.

部品の種類が多くなって取り扱い面から煩雑となる。Furthermore, in the assembled educational toy having the above-mentioned configuration, one connecting tool is used at each corner, and the connecting tool has the same number of connecting limbs as the number of connecting pipes connected at the corner. Since it is necessary, many types of connecting tools with different numbers of connecting limbs must be prepared for each, according to the number of connecting pipes connected at the corner,
The number of types of parts increases and the handling becomes complicated.

It is necessary to determine the length of the ridge line 9 within a range that satisfies the condition that the ends of the two assembled rod members connected by the ridge line do not interfere with each other. Since the minimum length of the ridge line 9 becomes long, in order to make the length of the ridge line 9 constant, of the connecting members 2 used,
The length a of the ridge line 9 is determined within a range that satisfies the above condition with respect to the one where the adjacent angle of the two connecting limbs 8 is the smallest, and the length of the ridge line 9 of the other connecting members 2 is also adjusted to that. Since the length of the ridge line 9 is constant, the greater the angle between the two connecting limbs 8 is, the longer the isosceles triangular prism portion of the connecting member 2 is.

If the bar assembly 1 is used,
Furthermore, various and desired shapes can be assembled. When two or more kinds of lengths of the rod member 1 are used, the length of the rod member 1 is set as follows. First, the length of the most frequently used braided bar member 1 is determined, and the ratio of the sides having different lengths of the shaped body is determined. Next, the length of the side that uses the rod member 1 used most frequently is calculated, and then the length of the other side of the shape body is calculated from the ratio of the side of the shape body having the length of the side just obtained, Further, the length of the bar assembly 1 is calculated back from the length of the side, and set to that length.
