Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Conventional building blocks do not have protrusions or holes, so they often fall over when stacked, causing children's interest to decline. In recent building blocks, each block has a protrusion,
Also, holes are provided in different blocks and the blocks are fitted together to create different combinations, but this type of building block can only be combined vertically or horizontally, but・Bottom/Front/Back/
It is not possible to combine six directions (left and right) at the same time. That is, since they cannot be connected in any direction, it is not very interesting and also reduces creativity.

The present invention is a new multi-directional combination building block that focuses on these drawbacks.

Next, an example of the present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the present invention consists of protrusions 11 each having four 45-degree right triangles on the six faces 1 of a regular cube.
is placed at a narrow right angle between the diagonal 12 of each bonding surface 1 and the edge 10 of the bonding surface.

Each joining surface 1 can be recessed 13 towards the inside of the block to save material and reduce costs.

FIG. 1 shows the connection state of each block, in which a block can be connected to another block in the horizontal direction H, and can also be connected to another block in the vertical direction V.

Figure 2 shows the position of the triangular protrusion 11 of a certain block.The protrusion occupies only half of the diagonal with the diagonal line 12 as its limit, and the remaining half 11a is left for joining other blocks. There is. Therefore, the building blocks according to this proposal can be arbitrarily combined on six sides: top, bottom, front, back, left, and right, and depending on the combination, it can become a huge structure or a different shape, and it is truly interesting because of its infinite variety. be.

The invention also includes a decorative surface 2 shown in FIG. Each of the four corners of the back of the square decorative surface 2 has a recess 21, and a long convex edge is provided between each adjacent recess 21. Therefore, the square decorative surface 2 can be fitted into and connected to the block joining surface 1.

In addition, each decorative surface can be printed with a different design 23 as shown in FIG. 4 to further enhance the taste of the building blocks.
Also, regarding the plane P shown in Figure 4, remove each of the upper cubes, move them to 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees and combine them with the original lower block to change the state of the combination and change the appearance. This will enlighten children's intelligence and enhance their creativity.

Figure 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention with its triangular convexity 1.
1' occupies a slight left half of the diagonal with the diagonal as the limit, contrary to the above embodiment, and the remaining half 11
A' is left in order to connect it with the protrusion 11' of another block. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the bonding surface 3 is also provided with four protrusions, but in this case the protrusions 15 are located between the cross-shaped center line 14 parallel to the edge 10 of the square bonding surface 3 and the edge 10. It is installed at a narrow angle on the right side. FIG. 7 is opposite to FIG. 6, and the protrusion 15' is on the left side of the cruciform center line 14'.

FIG. 8 shows another embodiment in which two of the protrusions at the diagonal corners are omitted, leaving a pair of protrusions that are slightly diagonal, and the lower side of one protrusion and the upper side of another protrusion. A long tank 11b is provided in each block so that it can be fitted with another block.

In addition, this horizontal surface 4' can also be formed into a concave shape 13a toward the inside in order to save materials and reduce costs.

FIG. 9 shows the design decorative surface 2a of the present invention directly bonded to the block surface.

In addition to the above, Figures 10, 11, and 12 show pentahedral building blocks. This becomes a flat slope, a convex slope, or a concave slope when viewed from the side depending on how the adjacent corners of the six-sided cube are cut. In addition, the convex joint surface 1 of the present invention
Although a square is used as an example, it goes without saying that a rectangular or other shape may be used.

Summarizing the present invention, the following advantages can be recognized.

(1) Since each connecting surface can be connected to other blocks, it is easy to imitate the shapes of animals and other real objects, making it very interesting.

(2) In the present invention, each joint surface and each block are the same, so the number of molds used during manufacturing is smaller than that of conventional building blocks.

In the case of conventional building blocks, if you want to make them multidirectional,
Since the protrusions and hole-receiving surfaces are created in different directions, a large number of molds are required, which is extremely wasteful and inconvenient.

(3) The building blocks according to the present invention are easy to combine, convenient to use, and rich in taste and intelligence.

Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] (1) The present invention is a new “multidirectional combination building block” consisting of a cubic block with a large number of six square connecting surfaces and a decorative surface, and each connecting surface has a triangular shape. It has four protrusions, each of which is located at a narrow angle to the right (or left) of the diagonal of the square connecting surface and the edge, so that it fits and connects with another block having the same connecting surface. It is. In other words, the triangular protrusions of the two blocks interlock and combine,
The above-mentioned "multi-directional combination building block" is characterized in that a large number of blocks can be stacked to form a huge structure.
