Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The block body 10 according to the present invention is molded from a synthetic resin material. However, as shown in the figure, the side joint portion 11 is integrally formed by a predetermined length toward each side in a regular square or triangular shape having a predetermined thickness. It is stretched and molded.

Further, in the drawings, the block body 10 is illustrated as a regular triangle or a triangle, but it may be formed into a regular pentagon or an octagon.

Each edge part 11 of the block body 10 is formed in a size that is symmetrical to the edge part 11 of the corresponding relative block body 10.

That is, as shown in the drawing, the two side joints 11 and 11 are connected by approaching a position where the side joints 11 of the other block body 10 corresponding to the same straight line as the side joint 11 of one block body 10 are shifted from each other. As a result, one extended side or an edge of a three-dimensional object is formed.

Moreover, the binding means 20 for maintaining the joint portions 11 of the two corresponding block bodies 10 connected to each other on the same straight line is provided.

As the binding means 20 of the present invention, first, a contact plate 22 having a hollow space portion 23 is formed at the end of each side joint portion 11, and a permanent magnet 21 is accommodated in the space portion 23 to generate a magnetic force. The permanent magnet 21 housed in the space portion 23 of the approaching relative joint portion 11 may be self-attached.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the contact plate 22 is integrally formed at the tip of each side joint portion 11, but a hollow space portion 23 is formed inside the contact plate 22, and this space is formed. Each of the cylindrical permanent magnets 21 is built in the same structure in the part 23.

Since the permanent magnet 21 smaller than the size of the space 23 is accommodated, the cylindrical permanent magnet 21 is rotatable inside.

As shown in FIG. 4, the permanent magnet 21 having a structure in which the polarity is divided into ‘N, S’ poles in the circumferential direction around the center is selected.

For this reason, when the contact plates 22 of the block body 10 come close to each other, the permanent magnets 21 adhere to each other in positions of other polarities while freely rotating in the space 23.

Further, as another embodiment of the binding means 20 of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a claw portion 24 is provided at the end of each side joint portion 11 so as to approach the relative side joint portion 11. You may make it bind | conclude via the connection member 25 in the state spaced apart from the nail | claw part 24 of this.

The connecting member 25 is formed with a locking groove 26 in which the centers of both sides are opened and the claw portion 24 is fitted and hooked on the inside thereof.

For this reason, both the block body 10 and the connecting member 25 molded from the synthetic resin material have plastic elastic force, so that a slight force is applied in a state where the positions of the claw portion 24 and the locking groove 26 are matched. When added, a sound of “kachan” is heard and the claw portion 24 is fitted into the locking groove 26 and caught.

In this way, the hook portions 11 of the block body 10 can be connected to each other by fitting the hooks 24 formed on the end portions of all the hook portions 11 from both sides of the connecting member 25 into the locking grooves 26 and hooking them. The two side joints 11 and 11 are connected to approach the shifted position to form one extended side or an edge of a three-dimensional object.

On the other hand, when it is desired to remove the block body 10 from the connecting member 25, conversely to the above, if a slight force is applied in the direction in which the edge portion 11 is detached from the connecting member 25, the claw portion 24 is removed from the locking groove 26 by plastic elasticity. Is removed.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the block body 10 is formed in a sharp shape with the apex 12 at the center position where the edge reference of the three-dimensional object is formed in a state where the corresponding edge joints 11 are assembled.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3, 7, and 9, after the joint portions 11 of the plurality of block bodies 10 are connected in a straight line by the binding means 20, the vertices 12 are connected to each other at the same position. Can be contacted in a state.

In this state, in order to switch to the three-dimensional object shape, each vertex 12 forms one reference point even if the angles of the two block bodies 10 are deformed to maintain a right angle, for example. .

At this time, each edge part 11 forms the edge line of the completed three-dimensional object.

When the block body 10 is an equilateral triangle, three edge joining portions 11 formed at the corners thereof are formed at equilateral triangle positions.

In addition, when the block body 10 is a regular square, four side joints 11 formed on each side thereof are formed at regular square positions.

According to the present invention, a solid object can be completed in various desired shapes, and the side joints 11 are conveniently combined in a precise side direction or edge position while maintaining a single straight line. Therefore, it becomes possible to improve the convenience of handling by the infant.

Further, the edge contour of the shape of the three-dimensional object to be completed can be accurately completed, and the level of understanding and perfection of the three-dimensional object can be increased, and the merchantability of the product can be greatly improved.
