DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an educational toy according to the present invention. The educational toy 1 comprises a combination of a magnetic board 2 and a plurality of card members 3.

The magnetic board 2 comprises a rectangular upper member 4 and a lower member 5 formed of a non-magnetic material such as paper, synthetic paper, synthetic resin, and the like. The display unit 7 is formed in the provided rectangular opening 6.

The display unit 7 uses a non-magnetic material like the magnetic board 2 and mounts a large number of small chambers 8 formed in a honeycomb shape on an insulating plate 9 and places a highly viscous fluid ( (Not shown) and magnetic powder 10 and a surface plate 11 made of a nonmagnetic material and a transparent sheet 1 above the small chamber 8.
2 and the small chamber 8, the insulating plate 9, the surface plate 11, and the transparent sheet 12 are integrally joined.

Numeral 13 denotes a magnetized erasing member having magnetism. The magnetized erasing member 13 is located below the insulating plate 9 of the display unit 7 so that the surface plate 11 of the display unit 7 can be moved.
The characters, graphics, and the like displayed by the magnetic powder 10 are erased by the suction force.

The magnetization erasing member 13 may be integrally formed in a movable state on the bottom surface of the display unit 7 provided on the magnetic board 2.

Next, the plurality of card members 3 are
In the same manner as described above, it is formed of a non-magnetic material, and is disposed on the display unit 7 of the magnetic board 2 so as to be interchangeable. On the surface of the card member 3, a divided figure 14a capable of displaying a unified figure 14 of an animal or a car at the time of rearrangement is formed, while characters formed by magnets are formed inside the card member 3. Is displayed so as to be invisible from the outside. Then, when rearranged so that a unified figure is displayed on the surface of the card member 3, a word corresponding to the figure is set.

That is, the card member 3 is mounted on the substrate 3a.
Characters 15a, 15b, 15c formed by sheet-like magnets 16 disposed on the substrate 3a;
And an opaque sheet 3b disposed thereon. On the surface of the sheet 3b, divided figures 14a, 14b and 14c capable of displaying unified figures 14 of animals and cars at the time of rearrangement are drawn.

The structure of the card member 3 is not limited to three layers. Also, a character 15 matching the figure 14
The letters a, 15b, and 15c are not limited to English and may be, for example, Japanese, and are not limited to those formed by the sheet-like magnets 16.

Since the educational toy 1 is configured as described above, some examples of its use will be described.

First, as a first example of use, the magnetic board 2
The magnetic powder 10 in a large number of small chambers 8 provided in the display unit 7 is attracted to the bottom of the small chamber 8 by the magnetization erasing member 13. Next, the plurality of card members 3 are divided into divided figures 14a, 14b, 14
c to form a unified figure 14 (for example, a dog figure),
When the card member 3 is placed on the display section 7 of the magnetic board 2, a large number of small chambers 8 are formed by the magnetic attraction of the magnet 16 inside.
The magnetic powder 10 at the bottom of the inside rises and the correct word (DO
The character 15 of G) is displayed on the surface plate 11 of the display unit 7.
The characters 15 of the word displayed on the front plate 11 are exposed and visible by removing the card member 3 from the display portion 7 of the magnetic board 2 as it is. If the rearrangement of the card member 3 is incorrect, the characters 15 displayed on the front plate 11 will not be spelled correctly.

Next, as a second example of use, the magnetic powder 10 in a large number of small chambers 8 provided on the display unit 7 of the magnetic board 2 is attracted to the upper part of the small chambers 8 by the magnetization erasing member 13. Leave it in the state. Next, the plurality of card members 3 are rearranged to form a unified figure 14 (for example, a dog figure) by the divided figure 14a provided on each surface thereof. Then, the magnetic board 2 is placed on the rearranged card member 3 and the display section 7 is made to correspond to the card member 3. As a result, the magnetic powder 10 at the upper part in the many small chambers 8 provided in the display unit 7 descends due to the magnetic attraction of the sheet-like magnet 16 in the card member 3 and is formed by the sheet-like magnet 16. The character 15 of the word is displayed on the surface plate 1 of the display unit 7.
1 is displayed in an outline state.

Further, as a third example of use, a plurality of card members 3 are rearranged on the display unit 7 of the magnetic board 2 and a unified figure 14 (for example, a dog figure) is formed by a divided figure 14a provided on each surface thereof. ) To form the internal magnet 16
The magnetic powder 10 in the many small chambers 8 provided on the display unit 7 floats due to the magnetic attraction force, and the characters 15 of the word are displayed on the surface plate 11 of the display unit 7 at the same time.
After the unnecessary magnetic powder 10 spread over a wide area is attracted to the bottom of the small chamber 8 by the magnetization erasing member 13, the card member 3 is removed from the display portion 7 of the magnetic board 2 as it is. Thereby, the character 15 of the word on the surface plate 11 is exposed and can be visually recognized.

As described above, according to the educational toy 1, the magnetic toy 1 is composed of a combination of the magnetic board 2 and the plurality of card members 3, and the plurality of card members 3 are rearranged to form a unified figure on the surface thereof. 14 can be formed. The card member 3 is provided on the magnetic board 2 because a character 15 of a word coinciding with the figure 14 is formed in the card member 3 by a sheet-like magnet 16 so as to be invisible from the outside. The magnetic powder 10 in a large number of small chambers 8 provided below the display unit 7 of the magnetic board 2 is floated by the magnetic action by being disposed on the display unit 7, and is attracted to the surface plate 11 side. The magnetic powder 10 allows the characters 15 of the word that matches the figure 14 to be displayed on the surface plate 11. Therefore, it is possible to enhance intelligence while playing and enrich knowledge.

In the above embodiment, the magnetic board is not necessarily limited to the magnetic board formed as described above. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-233581, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-1.
No. 5082 and Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 5-15083 may use magnetic display sheets using microcapsules. In this case, the whole can be made thin.

Also, what is displayed on the surface plate may be a figure or a combination of a word and a figure, instead of the letters of a word. For example, when three card members depicting the figure of Sazae's dad, Katsuo and Ikura in a manga are arranged in chronological order, the characters on the display that are continuous across the three card members are displayed. An example in which the figure is made to appear is considered.
