JPH07472U - 10 piece puzzle toys - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Corrected) [Purpose] Allows a wide variety of line patterns to be expressed using only basic unit figures, and also incorporates puzzle-like elements to provide fun and fun for children and children. We provide graphic toys that make people interested in shapes and patterns. [Structure] It is composed of 10 pieces consisting of three types of basic unit figures, and is composed of a board on which the pieces 1, 2, and 3 are fitted, and a board on which the respective pieces are arranged.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 It can be used as an educational toy for infants, as a tool for personality testing and ability development for infants to the elderly, and as a graphic toy.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, building blocks have been the mainstay of graphic toys for educational purposes. However, as a pure figure toy, there is one that draws the element figures that make up the shapes of creatures and vehicles as unit figures. In addition, some basic unit figures are used to represent creatures and vehicles. A common one is tangram. This can be expressed in a wide variety of ways using a small number of basic unit diagrams.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional one has the following drawbacks. In educational figure toys, the number of unit figures that are constituent elements is too high, which makes it difficult for children to complete the figure on their own, and the work procedure to complete it is also completed at the beginning. There was a tendency that a figure was assumed and then the parts that were the elements were collected and arranged, and the heuristic element that various figures appeared only by rearranging the unit figures was lacking. In addition, the tangram, which has been popular in the past, has the fun of developing it by using all seven pieces. The unit figure has few points, but there is no curve, and it represents the shape of something that actually exists for infants. Was too difficult for me.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve these problems, claim 1 of the present invention employs the three types of basic unit graphics shown in FIG. Since a great variety of line patterns can be expressed only with these unit figures, claim 1 of the present invention comprises 10 pieces of these figures. Since the number of pieces that are the constituent elements is small, it is relatively easy to combine them, and some of the shapes of creatures and vehicles easily appear, which makes the process of making discoverable. Furthermore, as shown in the example in Fig. 3, it is possible to express various patterns by using all 10 sheets, and it becomes possible to enjoy it as a puzzle. In addition, the use of curved arcs in figures creates a feeling of dynamism, and it is now possible to express patterns that more closely resemble the shapes of existing objects. According to the second aspect, by using the board (4), not only infants but also adults can come into contact with the mystery of the combination (with the rotation of the figure). The claims 1 and 2 may be displayed on a display device such as a CRT, an LCD, a plasma display, and an EL display. In that case, the operation of the pieces may be performed by inputting from a keyboard, a mouse or a joystick, and the information processing such as control may be performed by a micro computer.

[0005]

[Work]

 Since the three types of pieces in claims 1 and 2 have the same side length of the unit figure drawn on the table of the pieces, the unit figures can be engaged even if the direction of the pieces is changed, and as a result, , The number of combinations can be increased and various patterns can be expressed.

[0006]

【Example】

 In implementing the present invention, the following can be done. (A) The height of each piece of claim 1 and claim 2 may be freely set. The length may be equal to the length of two sides that sandwich the right angle of the upper bottom surface or the lower bottom surface, or double the length to form blocks or blocks. Alternatively, it may be as thick as paper. Further, the material of the bridge and the board in each claim may be wood, metal, glass, paper, plastic, foam material, or may use a magnet. Further, with respect to each board of claim 2, the fixing method of each piece is free. You may provide a recess in the fitting part of each piece. (B) The number of boards (4) in claim 2 and the designs used for the picture fitting are arbitrary. (C) The development of the pieces and the combination of pieces in claim 1 and claim 2 may be processed by a computer through a program. In that case, it is considered that the storage device such as a floppy disk storing the program corresponds to the graphic toy according to claim 1 or claim 2. . (D) The embodiment of claim 1 is described in FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 With the present invention, it has become possible to express various designs with a small number of basic unit figures. Furthermore, since the number of pieces that are configured is small, it is easy to combine the patterns, and the number of heuristic elements increases. As a result, it has become possible to make infants and children interested in the shapes and configurations of objects. In addition, all the pieces can be used up to express creatures and vehicles, so it can be enjoyed as a puzzle.
