TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an assembling toy, and more particularly to an assembling toy capable of assembling a variety of shapes by joining assembling toys having various shapes.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are assembled playground equipment that can be assembled as children's playground equipment. For example, (1) an assembled play equipment in which a convex portion is formed on one of the opposing surfaces of a rectangular parallelepiped or a cube and a concave portion is formed on the other surface, and the convex and concave portions of the assembled play device are fitted together. By doing so, they can be assembled into various shapes. However, since this type of assembling play equipment only fits a predetermined surface to surface, it can only be fitted in one direction, so that only a simple shape can be assembled. There were difficulties, and it was unsatisfactory in increasing the creativity of children.
[0003]
In order to solve the above-mentioned difficulties, for example, there has been devised an assembling toy described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-15594. Compared with the above-described assembled play equipment (1), the assembled play equipment can be fitted in a two-dimensional spread, so that it can be assembled into a complicated shape in the two-dimensional spread. Therefore, although it has a certain effect in terms of enhancing the creativity of children, this assembled play equipment can join the side surfaces 1a provided with the concave portions 2 and the convex portions 3 in the same direction, It is impossible to fit the side surfaces 1a in the direction orthogonal to each other, and it is also impossible to fit the side surfaces 1a so as to be perpendicular to each other. There is.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an assembling toy capable of assembling various shapes having not only a two-dimensional spread but also a three-dimensional spread.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, an object of the present invention is to provide an assembling play equipment having a side wall having a uniform thickness, wherein at least one surface of the side wall is a plane. A columnar projection having a substantially square cross section and having a length equal to approximately one-half of the thickness of the side wall has the same protruding height, and a center line that substantially bisects the thickness direction of the side wall is formed. It is characterized by being provided substantially adjacent to each other in a staggered manner. With this configuration, the planes provided with the columnar projections are opposed to each other in parallel, the planes provided with the columnar projections are arranged so as to be orthogonal to each other in parallel, and the planes provided with the columnar projections are also combined. Since the assembled play equipment can be assembled so that the faces can be fitted at right angles, a shape having a two-dimensional spread or a three-dimensional spread can be assembled.
[0006]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the assembled play apparatus of the first aspect, wherein the columnar projection has a substantially cubic shape. With this configuration, especially when the planes provided with the columnar projections are fitted so that the planes are at right angles to each other, they can be firmly fitted together, and the edges of the side walls can be contacted with almost no gap. Since the contact can be made, the assembled shape can be made beautiful.
[0007]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the assembled play equipment according to any one of the first and second aspects, a columnar projection formed on at least one plane of the side wall is formed intermittently. It is assumed that. With this configuration, it is possible to provide an assembling play apparatus that can be easily fitted and removed with a small force when fitting and removing the flat surfaces provided with the columnar projections so as to face each other in parallel.
[0008]
