  The present invention relates to a block toy, and more particularly to a block toy that can enhance creativity, is suitable for educational purposes, and is interesting and can assemble a three-dimensional structure for all people including children and elderly people.

  Conventionally, various assembled toys called block toys are known. This conventionally known block toy has a uniform part block configuration, most of which are basic, and each part block has an insertion part for use in assembly and a hole or hole for receiving the insertion part. A hole is formed.

  However, in this conventional block toy, the basic part block is connected to the insertion part (projection) provided in the part block with a hole or hole, and a work according to each person's feeling is assembled. As a result, there was a limit to the assembly and connection of parts blocks, and there was a limit to the creativity and the assembled work.

  Although the applicant investigated the prior art documents regarding the present invention, the applicant could not find any documents that seemed to be related to the invention of the present application and to be similar.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the conventional block toy is based on the insertion part and the receiving part in which the connection of the basic part blocks is formed for each part block. Are uniform, and there are limits to the angle and relative positional relationship, which impedes further creativity and ingenuity, and results in poorly changing works.

  In order to solve this problem, the block toy according to the present invention has a plurality of basic parts formed as a solid, and a through hole or hole for connecting joint members is formed in at least a part of the basic parts.

  Furthermore, the block toy according to the present invention is characterized in that the through hole or hole of the basic part is square or circular, and the corner and edge of the basic part are chamfered or curved. It is said.

  The block toy according to the present invention is characterized in that the joint material described above is integrally provided with a cylindrical or cylindrical insertion portion as a linearly coaxial or point-symmetrical position on both surfaces of the substrate, The joint member is characterized in that an elbow portion is interposed between the two substrates, and an insertion portion that is a cylinder or a cylinder is integrally provided on the outer surface of the substrate. A reinforcing connecting portion is interposed between the two substrates, and a cylindrical or cylindrical insertion portion is integrally provided on the outer surface of the substrate.

  Further, the block toy according to the present invention is characterized in that the above-described joint member is integrally provided with an insertion portion formed of two columns or a cylinder in parallel with the surface on one side of the substrate. The member is integrally provided with a cylindrical or cylindrical insertion portion on the outer surface or inner surface of the substrate bent and arranged at 90 degrees, and the basic part and the joint member described above are formed of plastic. It is characterized by being.

  The block toy according to the present invention is configured as described above. Therefore, the basic parts that are the origin of block toys are connected by joint members prepared in multiple types, and the position relativity, angle, etc. can be freely selected for the connection, which is an unprecedented assembly. The range has been expanded and creativity can be enhanced in the production of three-dimensional works that occupy space, and it is effective for both children's education and the prevention of aging for the elderly.

  This was realized by configuring as illustrated in the drawings and described in the examples.

  Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a first basic part used in the present invention. This first basic part 1 is a hollow cube in which corner corners and edge portions are chamfered 2, 2,. In the center of the six planes to be formed, square holes and through holes 3, 3.

  These through holes 3, 3... Are square in this embodiment, but may be circular, triangular, or polygonal, and the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion formed as a column or cylinder of a joint member described later is the through hole 3. The basic part 1 or the joint member only needs to be allowed to rotate or rotate about the insertion portion as a shaft by the fitting.

  In the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes a first joint member used in the present invention. The first joint member 4 has a disk-shaped substrate 5, which is coaxially linearly formed on the front and back of the substrate 5.

A taper 6a is formed on the side, and a tip 6b is formed in a spherical shape. Although the 2nd insertion part 7 can also be formed similarly, in this Example, it is comprised as a normal column shape. The spherical shape of the taper 6a and the tip 6b in the first insertion portion 6 also exhibits the effect of a decorative ornament as a corner, a nail, an eye, a nose, etc. when an object to be assembled is assumed to be an animal, a dinosaur or the like. Therefore, the second insertion portion 7 that is not exposed does not have such a configuration.

  The heights of the first and second insertion parts 6 and 7 described above are the same as or larger than the depth of the through hole 3 of the basic part 1, and the first and second insertion parts The outer peripheral surfaces of 6 and 7 are fitted in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the through-hole 3 partially. Since the first and second insertion portions 6 and 7 are cylindrical, the basic part 1 or the first joint member 4 is rotated and rotated in the fitted state with the insertion portions 6 and 7 as axes. The movement will be made freely. In addition, the position directionality at the coordinates X and Y with respect to the insertion of the insertion portions 6 and 7 is free.

  FIG. 3 shows a use state in which the two basic parts 1 and 1 are connected using the first joint member 4. In a state where the second insertion portion 7 of the first joint member 4 is fitted and fixed in an arbitrary through hole 3 in an arbitrary basic part 1, an arbitrary through hole 3 in a different basic part 1 is first inserted. When inserted into the insertion portion 6, the two basic parts 1, 1 are connected in a straight line along the central axis of the insertion portions 6, 7 of the first joint member 4, that is, in series. At this time, the substrate 5 of the first joint member 4 becomes a flange and also has a stopper effect, and the substrate 5 is not bitten by the chamfered portions 2 of the basic parts 1, 1.
