Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a block toy that can construct structures of various shapes by combining a large number of single blocks made of synthetic resin or the like.

A wide variety of block toys of this kind have been proposed and used in the past, but most of them are constructed by combining a large number of single blocks that can be connected in different directions to form a structure of any shape. It is common to do so.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional devices using single blocks, there are limits to the forms that can be constructed using them, and furthermore, dynamic forms cannot be formed, resulting in a lack of creativity. .

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional ones, and its purpose is to create a block toy that can be constructed into a dynamic structure and allows for creative play. Our goal is to provide the following.

The block toy according to the present invention includes a disc-shaped block member having a shaft hole in the center and square grooves radially carved on at least one surface thereof, a shaft member that can be loosely inserted into the shaft hole, and a shaft member having a center hole. a washer member capable of resiliently holding the shaft member when inserted into the washer member; and a rod portion capable of fitting into the square groove on the outer side of the piece body formed similarly to the washer member. It is composed of a protruding connecting member and a connecting rod member that connects the disc-shaped block members to each other by fitting into the square groove.

Embodiments of the block toy of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.

The block toy according to the present invention consists of a disc-shaped block member A, a shaft member B, a washer member C, a connecting member D, and a connecting rod member E, and each member is made of synthetic resin. The disk-shaped block member A is formed to have an appropriate thickness, has a shaft hole 1 bored in the center, and has square grooves 2 radially carved on at least one side, both sides in the embodiment. Therefore, the triangular prism-shaped portions 3, 3 remain in a radial shape. In the embodiment, the small diameter portion 5 is formed by providing notches 4, 4 having a width corresponding to the square groove 2 on the outer circumferential surface continuously from the square groove 2. When formed as described above, a cavity 2A shown by imaginary lines is formed in a portion surrounded by each vertex 3a of the triangular prism-shaped parts 3, 3, and will be described in detail later within this cavity 2A. The piece body 13 of the washer member C and the connecting member D
are designed to fit together.

The shaft member B is a cylindrical or columnar member of an appropriate length that can be loosely inserted into the shaft hole 1,
Multiple types of different lengths can be prepared.

The washer member C is designed to elastically hold the shaft member B when inserted into the center hole 6, and its outer shape d fits freely within the cavity 2A of the disc-shaped block member A. It is large enough to fit. As a means for resiliently holding the shaft member B, in this embodiment, an inner ring 8 is formed by cutting out the material so as to form a long hole 7 concentric with the center hole 6, and a slit is formed on one side of the inner ring 8. 9 to obtain appropriate elasticity. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the outer ring 11 is formed by hollowing out the inner ring 8 so that a long hole 10 is formed on the outside thereof, and elasticity is given to the outer ring 11 by providing a slit 12. .

The connecting member D consists of a piece body 13 formed similarly to the washer member C and a rod portion 14 projecting from the piece body 13.
3 has a central hole 6', a long hole 7', an inner ring 8', a slit 9', a long hole 10', an outer ring 11', a slit 12', etc., and is a hollow part in the disc-shaped block member A. 2A, and the rod portion 14 has a square corner shape so that it can fit into the square groove 2. A split groove 15 is formed at the tip of the rod portion 14, so that it can be elastically fitted into the square groove 2.

The connecting rod member E connects the disc-shaped block members to each other by fitting into the square groove 2 of the disc-shaped block member A, and is formed in the shape of a rod or a rectangular tube.

Next, an example of assembly using the above-mentioned members will be explained.

Figure 7 shows an example assembled as a handcart.
First, the disc-shaped block members A, A and the disc-shaped block member A', which is to be vertically disposed between these disc-shaped block members A, A, are connected by a connecting rod member E. In this case, the disc-shaped block member A' is fixed by fitting the connecting rod member E into the notch 4 thereof.

Next, using the connecting member D, the rod portion 14 is fitted into the square groove 2 of the disc-shaped block member A so as to be located perpendicularly to the connecting rod member E, and the center hole of the connecting member D is fitted. 6' respectively. Washer member C on shaft member B,
Insert the disc-shaped block member A″ as a wheel and the washer member C in an overlapping manner, and
A'' is attached so as to be rotatable and without play. Next, the connecting member D into which the shaft member B is inserted as a push handle is attached to the disc-shaped block member A' to complete the assembly.

As described above, the disc-shaped block member A can be used both as a wheel and as a structural member, and a wide variety of combinations are possible. Further, the dimensions of each of the above members can be set arbitrarily, and for example, it is possible to assemble several types of disc-shaped block members A that differ only in diameter. A combination of these is possible.

Figure 8 shows an example assembled as a swing, and the assembly procedure is the same as the above-mentioned handcart.
The shaft member B is rotatable, and the chair portion 16 is movable back and forth.

The assembly example described above is just one example, and for example, the washer member C may be fixed to one end of the shaft member B, and various types of disc-shaped block members A may be stacked and inserted into this, and the assembly may be used as a simple toy for young children. Of course, it is also possible to assemble a complex structure using a large number of block members, and various structures can be constructed depending on the age of the user.

According to the block toy according to the present invention, a disc-shaped block member has a shaft hole in the center and square grooves are radially carved on at least one surface of the disc-shaped block member;
a shaft member that can be loosely inserted into the shaft hole, a washer member that can resiliently hold the shaft member when inserted into the center hole, and an outer side of the piece body formed similarly to the washer member. A connecting member having a protruding rod portion that can fit into the square groove, and a connecting rod member for connecting the disc-shaped block members to each other by fitting into the square groove. Because it is composed of
By appropriately combining these members, not only a structure but also movable parts such as wheels and axles can be constructed. Moreover, since each member has a shape that combines the above functions, for example, the disc-shaped block member can be used as a part of the structure, the number of types of members is small, and mass production is good. It is also inexpensive.

Furthermore, since each component is not given a specific shape, it has the advantage of allowing children to play with it while cultivating their creativity, making it ideal for this type of block toy.
