Description

The present invention relates to a magnetic piece toy in which a user plays by arranging a plurality of pieces on a piece arrangement board using a suction tool that uses magnets to attract the pieces one by one.

Traditionally, large-piece jigsaw puzzles have been used for the rehabilitation of people who have impaired motor function after a stroke or other illness, and for early childhood education.

However, it is often difficult for people with the above-mentioned motor impairments and young children whose fingertip motor functions are not sufficiently developed to pick up the pieces one by one. In other words, because the function of the fingertips and hands is not sufficient, it may be impossible to pick up a piece, or it may not be possible to properly release a piece when placing it in a specified position, or the pieces that have already been lined up in the specified position may shift and the next piece may not be able to move. It may not be possible to place it in place properly.

Therefore, it has been proposed that puzzle pieces can be attached and detached using magnets attached to their handles, which can be effectively used for rehabilitation purposes for people with motor impairments or for early childhood education purposes ( For example, see Patent Document 1).

To attach and detach the puzzle piece, lift it up using the magnetic force of the magnet provided in the handle, place it on the base, hold the end of the puzzle piece with your fingers, and tilt the handle slightly to remove part of the magnet. The magnet is moved away from the puzzle piece to weaken its adhesion, leaving the puzzle piece on the base and lifting only the magnet (handle).

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-167234

The technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires a slight tilting action when separating the handle from the puzzle piece, and is useful for rehabilitation purposes for people who have impaired motor function after a stroke or for early childhood education. The purpose is to make it difficult for the user to attach and detach the handle.

The present invention allows the user to easily place and remove pieces on the piece arrangement board by sliding the movable axis and removing the pieces with the simple action of pushing and releasing the push. The object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic piece toy in which the drawn pieces do not move unless pushed intentionally.

The present invention is a magnetic piece toy in which a user plays by arranging a plurality of pieces on a part or all of a piece arrangement board using a suction device that suctions each piece one by one, wherein each piece is has a magnetic material, and the suction tool has a movable shaft slidably accommodated in an outer cylinder, and a first magnet is provided at a lower end of the movable shaft, and the movable shaft is slidably moved. By this, the first magnet is located between an adsorption position where the magnetic force of the first magnet extends outside the lower end of the outer cylinder and a standby position where the magnetic force of the first magnet is released from reaching outside the lower end. 1 magnet is moved, and the piece is attracted to the lower end of the outer cylinder or the movable shaft or detached from the lower end by sliding the first magnet. shall be. Here, "playing by arranging pieces on part or all of the piece arrangement board" means that when playing by arranging pieces, you may not only use all of the pieces on the piece arrangement board, but also only a part of them. means. In addition, "the magnetic force of the first magnet extends outside the lower end of the outer cylinder" means that the magnetic force of the first magnet extends outside the lower end of the outer cylinder and moves the piece (magnetic material) outside the outer cylinder. This means that it can be adsorbed to the lower end (outer surface) of the cylinder or the movable shaft.

In this way, the user can slide the movable shaft of the suction tool, move the first magnet, and attach/detach the piece by repeating the simple action of pushing and releasing the push. Therefore, each piece can be easily arranged on the piece arrangement board. Therefore, even if the user is a child or an elderly person, it is possible to prevent the intellectual development of the child and the deterioration of the brain of the elderly while playing without placing a large burden on the user.

The outer cylinder has a flange at the upper end and a hollow cover attached to the lower end, and the upper end of the movable shaft serves as a pushing part, and in the standby position, the pushing part is located above the outer cylinder. At the adsorption position, a lower part of the pushing part is pushed into the outer cylinder, and a hollow part that rotatably accommodates the first magnet is provided at the lower end of the pushing part. It is preferable that a magnetic holder is attached, and that a spring is provided between the outer cylinder and the movable shaft, which is compressed at the suction position more than at the standby position. Here, "the suction position is more compressed than the standby position" means that the degree of compression at the standby position is weaker than the compression state at the suction position, and the compression state is completely released. Including cases where In this way, by using the spring force of the spring, it is possible to easily return the first magnet from the attraction position to the standby position.

Further, on the top surface of the piece arrangement board, a line is drawn to indicate a division corresponding to the piece, and each of the divisions has a shape and size corresponding to the outer shape of the piece, and the divisions have the same shape and size. and size. In this way, the divisions can be easily distinguished.

It is desirable that the piece arrangement board has an outer frame that is thicker than the piece arrangement board and is removably provided on the outer peripheral edge thereof. In this way, pieces can be prevented from falling off the piece arrangement board.

Further, the piece arrangement board may be one in which a plurality of basic arrangement boards are connected via a connector. Here, the basic arrangement board is an arrangement board having a constant basic size. In this way, the size of the piece arrangement board can be changed or expanded.

It is preferable that the piece arrangement board is provided with a second magnet having a weaker magnetic force than the first magnet in a selected one of the sections. Here, "in a selected section among the sections" means that it is provided in some sections (for example, every other section), but it also includes the case where it is provided in all sections. In this way, the piece placed on the piece arrangement board can be sucked by the suction tool, and when the piece is detached from the suction tool, the piece is stabilized on the piece arrangement board. Further, when the suction tool is in a standby state, when a piece is pushed with the lower end of the suction tool, the piece can be moved by the pushing force.

In each of the pieces, the magnetic body is provided at a position where two or more pieces are not simultaneously affected by the magnetic force of the first magnet when the first magnet of the movable shaft is in an attraction position. desirable. This prevents two pieces from being suctioned at the same time by the suction tool.

The outer cylinder has an opening at its lower end, and the movable shaft has a lower end located inside the outer cylinder at the standby position, and a lower end located outside the opening of the outer cylinder at the suction position. Further, a hollow portion is formed at the lower end of the movable shaft to rotatably accommodate the first magnet, and a hollow portion is formed between the outer cylinder and the movable shaft at the suction position. A structure may be provided in which a spring is compressed from the standby position. In this case, the upper end of the outer cylinder is provided with a collar for adjusting the spring reaction force of the spring, and the lower end of the outer cylinder is arranged in an axial direction according to the spring reaction force of the spring. The adjustment sleeve may be formed of an adjustment sleeve whose position can be adjusted, and the adjustment sleeve may have an opening at its lower end through which the lower end of the movable shaft protrudes at the suction position.

In the present invention, pieces can be attached to and detached from the suction tool by moving the first magnet with the simple operation of sliding the movable shaft, so each piece can be placed on the piece arrangement board using magnetic force. It becomes possible to arrange them easily. Therefore, it can be used as a magnetic piece toy that helps children's intellectual development while playing and prevents brain deterioration in the elderly, without placing a large burden on the user.

Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the magnetic piece toy according to the present invention, and (a) shows that before the start of the game, a piece on which a part of a picture, design, character, etc. is drawn is one of the pieces on the piece arrangement board. (b) is a diagram showing a state in which all the pieces are placed in pieces, and (b) is a diagram showing a state in which all the pieces are matched and the game is completed.

As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the magnetic piece toy 1 according to the present invention allows a user to select one piece 2 (magnetic The players play by selecting the materials 12, 15) and arranging them on a part or all of a rectangular piece arrangement board 39 using the suction tool 3 that picks them up one by one.

Further, the piece arrangement board 39 is covered with a board material 43 in which partition lines 44 forming sections (areas) are drawn in a checkerboard pattern on the upper surface of an arrangement board base material 40. A second magnet 41 having a weaker magnetic force than the first magnet 32 described later is provided in the section, and the magnetic force is used to prevent the arranged pieces 2 from moving inadvertently. The piece arrangement board 39, except for the second magnet 41, is made of a non-magnetic material such as plastic.

Further, the piece arrangement board 39 is provided with height adjustment bolts 42 at the corners for height adjustment, and an outer frame 47 that is thicker than the piece arrangement board 39 is removably provided on the outer periphery. There is. It is also possible to change the size of the entire piece arrangement board by connecting them to each other with a connecting member 46 using the connecting hole 45. That is, the piece arrangement board 39 is formed by one basic arrangement board having a certain size, or by connecting a plurality of basic arrangement boards. FIG. 9 shows a case in which the piece arrangement board 39 is constructed with only one piece, and FIG. 18 shows a case in which the piece arrangement board 39 is constructed by connecting a plurality of pieces. The outer frame 47 also prevents the pieces 2 from spilling out from the piece arrangement board 39, even when connected, and has a horizontal holding function (preventing bending).

Piece 2 has a size corresponding to the division, and as shown in Figure 1(a), before the game starts, piece 2 on which a part of the picture, design, character, etc. is drawn is placed on one piece arrangement board. As shown in FIG. 1(b), the game ends when all pieces 2 are arranged in accordance with predetermined sections on the piece arrangement board 39. In addition, an example of a pattern is shown as EX1, an example of a pattern is shown as EX2, an example of a 4-part character is shown as EX3, and an example of a 9-part character is shown as EX4.

In this way, for example, in the case of EX3, a part (partial pattern) of the letter "A" divided into four parts is drawn on the surface of piece 2, and pieces are placed in predetermined sections on the piece arrangement board 39. By arranging them in 2, the character ``a'' is completed. In other words, by making the user aware of where and in which section each piece 2 should be placed on the piece arrangement board 39, it is possible to improve children's intellectual development while playing and to prevent brain decline in the elderly. . Note that the number of divisions of patterns, pictures, and characters is not limited to that of this embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, in the suction tool 3, a first movable shaft 30 is housed in a first outer cylinder 20 so as to be slidable in the axial direction, and a first magnet is attached to the lower end of the movable shaft 30. 32 are provided. By sliding the movable shaft 30, the magnetic force of the first magnet 32 reaches the outside of the lower end of the outer cylinder 20 (see FIG. 2(b)), and the magnetic force of the first magnet 32 extends outside the lower end of the outer cylinder 20. The first magnet 32 can be moved between the standby position (see FIG. 2(a)) where the first magnet 32 is released.

The outer cylinder 20 is made of a non-magnetic material such as plastic, except for the guide pin 24, and has a first flange 21 at its upper end, and a hollow cover 22 at its lower end so as to cover the lower end. . The hollow cover 22 is formed in the shape of a truncated cone, and is fixed to the lower end of the outer cylinder 20 with a fixture 25 (a resin rivet). The hollow cover 22 is not limited to the shape of a truncated cone, but can also be shaped like a hemisphere, a truncated polygonal pyramid, or an ellipse.

The movable shaft 30 is made of a non-magnetic material such as plastic, except for the coil spring 23, and is provided with a top-plate-shaped first pushing part 31 at its upper end, and a spherical first pushing part 31 at its lower end. A hollow magnet holder 34 that rotatably stores the magnet 32 is provided with a fixture 25 (a resin rivet), and is compressed between the outer cylinder 20 and the movable shaft 30 at the suction position and from the standby position. A coil spring 23 is provided. Therefore, the suction is released from the standby position.

By sliding the movable shaft 30 downward, that is, by pushing the pushing part 31 downward, the first magnet 32 is moved to the adsorption position where the piece 2 is adsorbed against the spring force of the coil spring 23. I can do it.

Since the first magnet 32 is spherical, even if the suction tool 3 is tilted, it will roll within the magnet holder 34 and the magnetic force of the first magnet 32 will work most effectively against the piece 2 to attract the piece 2. can be done.

Therefore, when the user pushes in or releases the pushing part 31 of the movable shaft 30, the first By moving the magnet 32 (magnetic force range 33), one piece 2 can be attracted to the lower end (hollow cover 22) of the outer cylinder 20, or the piece 2 can be separated by releasing the attraction.

Further, a guide hole 35 that is long in the vertical direction of the movable shaft 30 is formed, and a guide pin 24 that penetrates the outer cylinder 20 is inserted into this guide hole 35. The slide movement range of the movable shaft 30 is limited so that the magnet 32 (magnetic force range 33) can move between the attraction position and the standby position.

When the piece 2 is to be attracted to the suction tool 3, the user presses the push part 31 of the movable shaft 30 with, for example, a finger of the user's hand against the spring force of the coil spring 23. The lower portion of 31 is pushed into the outer cylinder 20. Then, the first magnet 32 (magnet holder 34) moves to the suction position where the piece 2 can be suctioned to the hollow cover 22 of the suction tool 3. That is, by moving the magnet 32 to a position where it is attracted to the lower end of the attraction tool 3, the surface magnetic body 12 of the piece 2 comes within the range of the magnetic force of the first magnet 32.

On the other hand, when the piece 2 is to be detached from the suction tool 3, the first magnet 32 is activated by the spring force of the coil spring 23 when the user releases the action of pressing the upper end of the movable shaft 30 with a finger. , the first magnet 32 moves to the standby position and becomes within the range where the magnetic force of the first magnet 32 does not reach, and the first magnet 32 moves the piece 2 to the standby position where it separates the piece 2 from the suction tool 3. That is, the surface magnetic material 12 of the piece 2 moves out of the range of the magnetic force of the first magnet 32, and the piece 2 separates from the lower end of the suction tool 3.

The movable shaft 30, the magnet holder 34, and the hollow cover 22 are made of a non-magnetic material such as plastic.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the piece 2 has a square shape, and disc-shaped front and back magnetic materials 12 and 15 (magnetic material) are provided on the front and back surfaces of a piece base material 11 made of a non-magnetic material such as plastic. , front and back article materials 13 and 16 on which front and back articles 14 and 17 are drawn are provided, and cover the front and back magnetic materials 12 and 15. On the back side, a matched front article 17a (reduced display), a part display line 17b (column symbol, row number), and a management symbol 17c are drawn as the back article 17 so that the matching section can be specified. Note that each piece 2 corresponds to the size and shape of the section (area) divided by the section line 44, and has the same shape and size, but is not limited to a square shape, but can also be a regular triangle, regular pentagon, etc. The shape may be a polygon, or the shape may correspond to the size and shape of two or more sections (regions). Further, the front and back magnetic materials 12, 15 (magnetic bodies) are not limited to the disk shape or square shape.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the pieces 2 are arranged on the piece arrangement board 39, the distance between the magnetic materials 12, 12 of the adjacent pieces 2 is such that the first magnet 32 of the suction tool 3 is at the suction position. At this time, the size is greater than the distance that the magnetic force of the first magnet 32 extends. In other words, both of the magnetic materials 12 and 12 of the adjacent pieces 2 do not enter the magnetic range 33 of the first magnet 32 of the suction tool 3, and once arranged on the piece arrangement board 39, another piece 2 They do not move when placed next to each other. The adjacent front magnetic material 12 is separated by a distance L1 from the magnetic force range of the first magnet 32, the back magnetic material 15 is separated by a distance L3, and the back magnetic material 15 is separated by a distance L2 from the magnetic force range of the second magnet 41.

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the piece arrangement board 39 has a springy cross section approximately U on the outer periphery.
A letter-shaped outer frame 47 is provided so as to be detachable by insertion or the like.

Further, in FIGS. 14 to 17, examples of pictures, designs, quarter-divided characters, and nine-divided characters displayed on the pieces shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) are shown enlarged on the front and back sides, respectively.

Next, a method of using the magnetic piece toy 1 according to the present invention will be explained.

First, pieces 2 are scattered on the piece arrangement board 39. Next, the pieces 2 are arranged in order on the piece arrangement board 39 using the suction tool 3 so that the letter "a" is finally completed. Specifically, the user holds the suction tool 3, moves the suction tool 3 to the vicinity of the desired piece 2, presses the upper end of the movable shaft 30 of the suction tool 3 with a finger, and moves the first magnet 32 to the suction position. The desired piece 2 is sucked onto the lower end of the suction tool 3.

Then, by keeping the pushing part 31 of the movable shaft 30 pressed with a finger, moving the piece 2 with the suction tool 3 suctioning it to an appropriate position on the piece arrangement board 39, and releasing the pressing operation, The piece 2 is separated from the suction tool 3 and placed at a predetermined position on the piece arrangement board 39.

In this way, the pieces 2 are sequentially placed at predetermined positions on the piece arrangement board 39 so that the letter "A" is finally completed. When finely adjusting the position of the piece 2, the lower end of the hollow cover 22 can be pressed against the piece 2 and moved.

In the embodiment described above, the movable shaft 30 is solid and the magnet holder 34 is housed in the hollow cover 22, but the movable shaft is made hollow and the first magnet can be rolled at the lower end. It is also possible to form the magnet holder integrally with the movable shaft by forming a hollow part for storing the magnetic holder, and to have a structure in which the lower end of the movable shaft can come out and retract from the lower end opening of the outer cylinder. In this way, the number of parts can be reduced.

In this case, in the suction tool 3A, as shown in FIGS. 19(a) and 19(c), for example, the hollow second movable shaft 60A is housed in the second outer cylinder 50A so as to be slidable in the axial direction, and the movable shaft 60A A spherical first magnet 32 is rotatably provided within the lower end of the magnet. By sliding the movable shaft 60A, there is a standby position (see FIG. 19(a)) where the magnetic force of the first magnet 32 is released from reaching outside the lower end of the outer cylinder 50A, and a lower end opening 54 of the outer cylinder 50A. The first magnet 32 can be moved between an adsorption position (see FIG. 19(c)) where the first magnet 32 protrudes outward through the outer cylinder 50A and the magnetic force of the first magnet 32 extends outside the lower end of the outer cylinder 50A. At the suction position, the coil spring 23 is compressed and the spring reaction force is greater than at the standby position. The stroke of the movable shaft 60A is regulated by a stopper 59. Note that the magnetic force range 33 to which the magnetic force of the first magnet 32 extends is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

A second flange member 51A having an elliptical plate-shaped flange 51Aa is provided at the upper end of the outer cylinder 50A so that the position of the second flange member 51A can be adjusted, so that the spring reaction force of the coil spring 23 can be adjusted. A top plate-shaped second push portion 61 is provided at the upper end of the movable shaft 60A above the collar member 51A. The collar member 51A can be attached to and detached from the outer circumference of the outer cylinder 50A, and has a screwed portion 51Ab.

The lower end of the outer cylinder 50A is formed into a hemispherical shape, and the inner diameter of the lower end opening 54 is larger than the outer diameter of the movable shaft 60A. The lower end of the movable shaft 60A has a hollow hemispherical shape, and is a hollow portion in which the first magnet 32 is rotatably provided. A lower opening 65 having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the first magnet 32 is provided at the center of the lower end of the movable shaft 60A.

A movement regulating pin 63 for regulating upward movement of the spherical first magnet 32 is provided above the hollow portion (of the first magnet 32), passing through the movable shaft 60A. Note that the lower end of the movable shaft 60A is not limited to a hollow hemispherical shape, but may be a hollow polygonal truncated pyramid shape, for example, as in the third movable shaft 60B shown in FIG. 20(a). It can also be a shape. Moreover, the lower end portion of the outer cylinder 50A can also be made into a cylindrical shape, like a third outer cylinder 50B shown in FIG. 20(b). However, in this case, it is desirable that the diameter is such that the piece 2 does not tilt and be drawn in at the suction position.

A coil spring pushing seat 62 is provided on the upper outer periphery of the movable shaft 60A, and a coil spring receiving seat 52 is provided on the lower inner periphery of the outer cylinder 50A. A coil spring 23 is provided at.

Then, by sliding the movable shaft 60A downward, that is, by pushing the pusher 61 downward, the first magnet 32 is moved to the adsorption position where the piece 2 is adsorbed against the spring force of the coil spring 23. Since the first magnet 32 is spherical, even if the suction tool 3A is tilted, it will roll within the hollow portions of the movable shafts 60A and 60B, and the magnetic force of the first magnet 32 will be the highest against the piece 2. The fact that it works effectively and can attract the piece 2 is the same as in the embodiment described above.

Therefore, similarly to the embodiment described above, when the user pushes in or releases the movable shafts 60A and 60B, the suction position where the piece 2 is sucked and the standby position where the suction of the piece 2 is released. By moving the first magnet 32 (magnetic force range 33) between the movable shafts 60A and 60B, one piece 2 can be attracted to or separated from the lower end portions of the movable shafts 60A and 60B.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the lower end of the outer cylinder is formed by an adjustment sleeve 55 whose position can be adjusted in the axial direction according to the strength of the spring reaction force of the coil spring 23, and the lower end of the movable shaft 60A It is also possible to adjust the stroke amount required to protrude and set the suction position. In this case, the fourth outer cylinder 50C has an extended outer cylinder part 50Ca having a smaller diameter at the lower part, and the adjustment sleeve 55 is attached to the extended outer cylinder part 50Ca. The outer diameter is approximately equal to that of 50C. Note that the stepped portion between the outer cylinder 50C and the extended outer cylinder portion 50Ca serves as a coil spring receiving seat 52 corresponding to the coil spring push seat 62. Further, the adjustment sleeve 55 is provided with an opening 56 at its lower end, through which the lower end of the movable shaft 60A can move in and out. A plurality of annular projections and depressions are formed between the extension outer cylinder part 50Ca and the adjustment sleeve 55 in correspondence with each other, and by changing the fitting projections and depressions, the outer cylinder 50C (extension outer cylinder part 50Ca ), the mounting position of the adjustment sleeve 55 can be adjusted in the axial direction according to the strength of the spring reaction force of the coil spring 23 (see FIGS. 22(a) to 22(f)).

Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various changes can be made within the scope of the claims, for example, as exemplified below.

(i) In the embodiment described above, the movable shafts 30, 60A, 60B of the suction tools 3, 3A are directly pushed by hand (finger) to slide (that is, switch between the suction position and the standby position). Without limitation, an operating section having a movable cable or a link mechanism for slidingly moving the movable shafts 30, 60A, 60B is connected to the outer cylinders 20, 50A to 50C, and by operating the operating section, the movable shafts 30, 60A are moved. , 60B may be moved indirectly by the user's hand (finger). For example, a structure in which the operating section is shaped like a gun and the movable shaft is slid by pulling the trigger of the gun, or a structure in which the movable shafts 30, 60A, and 60B are slid by rotating a lever of the operating section is used. You can also do that.

(ii) Instead of the division lines 44 (board material 43) drawn on the piece arrangement board, an insole with grooves corresponding to the shape and size of the pieces is provided on the piece arrangement board, and the periphery of the pieces By providing a protrusion that removably engages with the groove of the insole, and engaging them, it is possible to prevent the piece from accidentally moving from above the compartment. In this case, the size and shape of the piece can be easily changed by changing the insole, and if the user wants to change the size and shape of the piece, this can be easily done by replacing the insole. be able to.

(iii) Instead of providing two magnetic materials (magnetic materials) on the front and back sides of the piece, it is also possible to embed one magnetic material inside the piece (for example, in the middle of the thickness direction). In other words, when the first magnet 32 of the movable shaft 30 is in the attraction position, two or more pieces 2 are simultaneously affected by the magnetic force of the first magnet 32, regardless of whether they are lined up or overlapped. This is because it is sufficient if the magnetic material is provided at a position where it is not exposed to the magnetic material.

(iv) Instead of providing a second magnet in a selected section on the piece arrangement board, a magnetic sheet with a thickness of approximately 1 to 2 mm, for example, may be provided as the second magnet over the entire surface of the piece arrangement board. You can also do it.

(v) The above-mentioned piece can be replaced with a cover material on which a picture (painting), design (medal, pendant), text (hiragana, katakana, kanji word, idiom), etc. is drawn. It is also possible to do so.
