Description

Toy for assembling {Built-up Type Toy}

The present invention relates to a toy for assembling, and more particularly, to a toy for assembling that can be easily detached between each unit block constituting the toy using a magnetic force.

The toy for assembly means a toy that fits in various shapes and plays by disassembling it.

The materials for assembling toys are various, such as paper, wood, metal, and plastic, and there are toys for preventing separation using an adhesive or the like even in the assembly method thereof, and toys assembled in a fitting form without using an adhesive.

The fitting toy of the fitting type is generally made for young children, but in the case of children who are not as delicate as the assembly operation of the fitting method is not easy, there is a problem that the assembly state is easily released. .

In order to solve this problem, recently, toys have been developed to maintain a firmly coupled state between components by using a magnet together with or separately from the fitting method.

However, the prior art as described above has the following problems.

In the case of the assembly method using the magnet as described above, the assembly is made through the attraction force between the magnet and the magnet or the metal and the metal. At this time, point contact or surface contact is made between the magnets or between the magnet and the metal.

However, in the case of such point contact or surface contact, the axial coupling force between the magnets or between the magnet and the metal may be somewhat strong, but the coupling force in the orthogonal direction is relatively weak and thus easily slips.

In addition, in some cases, the coupling between the two parts needs to be made at various angles according to the intention of the child who is the user, and once assembled, it is necessary to maintain the coupling angle to some extent. For example, arbitrary rotation between two assembled parts should be prevented.

However, as described above, in the case where the magnets or the magnets and the metal are in simple point contact or surface contact, even though they may be coupled at various angles, the coupling angles may not be maintained and may be slipped or misaligned. have.

In addition, since the magnets and metals as described above may be harmful to the human body, they should be prevented from being separated from each component constituting the assembled toy, which is generally fixed to the components using an adhesive or separated by insert injection. Will be prevented.

However, if some of the adhesive is discharged there is a risk of harm to the user's health, and in the case of insert injection, there is a problem that a separate injection mold is required to increase the production cost of the assembled toys.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and to facilitate the coupling between the parts constituting the assembled toy, and to maintain the combined state firmly.

Another object of the present invention is to be able to maintain a constant angle between the parts in the assembled state without any relative rotation.

Still another object of the present invention is to prevent the magnets of the magnet assemblies connecting the parts from being directly exposed to the outside and to be fixed to the parts without a separate insert injection.

According to a feature of the present invention for achieving the above object, the present invention is composed of a plurality of parts constituting a part of a body, an animal or a thing, is configured to be selectively coupled between the parts, said parts By changing or changing the structure of the coupling to form a variety of forms or posture, the components are each provided with a magnet assembly is coupled to each other by magnetic force.

The part is composed of each part including an animal's torso, limbs and head, and the type, posture or facial expression of the animal is changed through the replacement of each part.

The parts provided on the head of the body or the animal are interchangeably coupled to each part forming the neck with a press-fit structure.

The body part forming the body, the body of the animal, or the skeleton of the object is provided with at least a portion of the first magnetic assembly exposed to the outside, and the coupling part coupled to the body part has a different polarity than that of the first magnetic assembly. The second magnet assembly having at least part thereof is provided to be exposed to the outside.

The body parts forming the body, the body of the animal or the skeleton of the object is provided with a plurality of the first magnetic assembly in a variety of positions, the coupling parts coupled to the body parts of the first magnetic assembly provided in the various positions By selectively bonding to either one, various forms are formed.

The first and second magnet assemblies may include a housing in which an installation space is formed, a permanent magnet inserted into the installation space, and a permanent magnet inserted between the first and second magnet assemblies to be pressed into one side of the installation space to shield the installation space. It is configured to include a shield block.

A gear part is formed on an outer surface of the housing exposed to the outside of the body part or the coupling part to be engaged with the gear part of the relative housing at an angle.

The housing is made of a synthetic resin material, the shielding block is made of a ferromagnetic material to block the magnetic force of the permanent magnet.

One surface of the housing in which the gear part is formed is formed such that a magnetic force passing hole is opened.

The housing is formed in a cylindrical shape, a press-fit projection is formed on the outer surface of the housing is the magnet assembly is pressed into the coupling hole formed in the body part or the coupling part.

According to the toy for assembly according to the present invention, the following effects can be expected.

In the present invention, since a plurality of parts are selectively coupled or separated by a magnet assembly to constitute a human body, an animal, or an object of various shapes, the creativity of the child is increased through the variety of shapes implemented by assembly, and press-fitted. Since it does not have a structure, children have the advantage of assembling parts more easily.

In addition, in the present invention, since the parts are assembled by the magnetic force, the assembled state between the parts can be maintained more firmly, there is an effect that the operability is improved.

In the present invention, the gear part is provided in the housing constituting the magnet assembly, and the gear part is engaged with the gear part of the mating part, thereby maintaining a constant angle between the parts in the assembled state without any relative rotation, thereby improving the coupling force between the parts. At the same time, there is an effect of maintaining the assembled state as intended by the assembling.

At the same time, the engagement area of the magnet assembly is enlarged by the gear portion, so that the coupling force can be further improved.

In addition, in the present invention, since the magnet of the magnet assembly connecting the parts is configured to be wrapped in the housing, it is not directly exposed to the outside to prevent children who handle toys from directly inserting the magnet into the mouth, thereby reducing risk factors. It works.

And, because the magnet is wrapped in the housing, there is no need to insert the magnet into the part to avoid exposure of the magnet. As a result, the magnet assembly may be fixed to the parts constituting the toy by press fitting or the like, so that the manufacturing cost of the toy parts can be reduced.

In addition, in the present invention, since the parts between the parts are joined by the first and second magnet assemblies having a very small degree of protruding from the parts, the parts protruding such as protrusions are minimized to join the parts, and thus, the protrusions and the like are assembled during the assembly process. There is no risk of damage and the durability of the toy is improved.

In addition, a plurality of the first magnetic assemblies 100 are provided so that any one of the coupling parts may be coupled to the body part 10 at various angles.

A coupling part is coupled to the body part 10. The coupling part is composed of a leg 20, the head 30, the tail 40, etc., which are respectively coupled to the body part 10 by a magnetic force. That is, the coupling part is provided with a second magnetic assembly 110 having a polarity opposite to that of the first magnetic assembly 100, and is coupled by a magnetic force.

As shown in Figure 2, the leg 20 is a total of four, the tail 40 and the head 30 is composed of one each.

At this time, the head part 30 is composed of a base 31 and a plurality of obituary components coupled to the base 31 again. That is, the components coupled to the base 31 include eyes 32, mouth 35, nose 38, and ears 39, which constitute the otic eye, and they are press-fitted into the base 31. Are combined through.

More specifically, the base 31 has a coupling groove (H) is formed, the eyes 32, the mouth 35, the nose 38, and the ear 39 constituting the throat is the coupling groove (H). ) Is coupled through indentation. Of course, as shown in Figure 2 through the same configuration as the coupling protrusion (B) provided in the ear may be made, or may be pressed directly into the coupling groove (H) without a separate coupling protrusion (B).

At this time, there are a wide variety of different types of parts that are coupled to the base 31 can be provided. Accordingly, the assembler can try a variety of combinations to implement the desired expression, Figure 7 (a) and Figure 7 (b) is the head part 30 is coupled to the different mouth parts 35 are shown Each is shown in perspective view.

Of course, in addition to the mouth part 35, the ear 39, the eyes 32, or the like may be replaced, or the base 31 itself may be replaced to implement other kinds of animals.

Next, the magnet assemblies 100 and 110 constituting the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The magnet assemblies 100 and 110 are composed of a first magnet assembly and a second magnet assembly, wherein the first magnet assembly 100 and the second magnet assembly 110 have the same structure and have only different polarities. The first magnet assembly 100 will be described as a reference.

As shown in FIG. 3, the skeleton of the first magnet assembly 100 is formed by the housing 120. The housing 120 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape as shown, the installation space 122 is formed therein. The installation space 122 is open at one side and closed at the other, and has a substantially cylindrical space. The housing 120 is made of an insulating material such as synthetic resin.

The outer surface of the housing 120 is provided with a gear portion 121. The gear part 121 is a part exposed to the outside of the body part 10, and is formed in a substantially gear shape as shown. The gear part 121 meshes with the gear part 121 of the second magnet assembly 110 to maintain the meshing angle between the gear parts 121. That is, the gear unit 121 is to prevent the first magnet assembly 100 and the second magnet assembly 110 from being arbitrarily rotated in a coupled state by the magnetic force.

Of course, since the meshing area of the first magnet assembly 100 and the second magnet assembly 110 is also increased by the gear unit 121, the gear unit 121 also serves to increase coupling force. .

The magnetic through hole 123 is formed in the housing 120. The magnetic force passing hole 123 is formed so that one surface of the housing 120 in which the gear unit 121 is formed is opened, and the magnetic force lines of the permanent magnet 130 to be described later can be more smoothly dispersed to the outside. have. That is, the magnetic force passing hole 123 is formed in the center portion that is wrapped by the gear portion 121, the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 130 can be more strongly applied to the outside. Of course, the magnetic through hole 123 may be omitted.

On the other hand, the outer circumferential surface of the housing 120 is provided with a press-fit rib 125. The press-fit rib 125 is for allowing the housing 120 to be press-fit into the inner space 11 of the body part 10 and is formed to protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the housing 120.

More precisely, as shown in FIG. 4, the press-fit ribs 125 are formed to be inclined downward toward the inner space 11 so that the first magnetic assembly 100 can be more smoothly inserted into the inner space 11. At the same time, the separation from the internal space 11 may not be easy.

The housing 120 has a flange portion 126 is formed. The flange portion 126 is a portion having a larger diameter than other portions of the housing 120, and is formed around one edge of the housing 120. The flange portion 126 is a kind of stopper that prevents the housing 120 from being excessively inserted into the inner space 11.

The permanent magnet 130 and the shielding block 140 are sequentially coupled to the installation space 122 of the housing 120. The permanent magnet 130 is such that the first magnetic assembly 100 has a substantially magnetic force, it is inserted so as to have a polarity opposite to the permanent magnet 130 of the second magnetic assembly 110. The permanent magnets 130 of the first magnet assembly 100 and the second magnet assembly 110 are inserted with opposite polarities toward the gear unit 121.

The shielding block 140 is pressed into one side of the housing 120 serves to shield the installation space (122). That is, the shielding block 140 is to prevent the permanent magnet 130 is separated from the installation space 122.

At this time, the shielding block 140 is formed of a ferromagnetic material, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and alloys thereof, it is preferable to prevent the magnetic force line of the permanent magnet 130 to the opposite side of the gear portion 121. Of course, the shielding block 140 may be simply made of an insulating material such as synthetic resin.

Meanwhile, the first magnet assembly 100 and the second magnet assembly 110 are configured to face different polarities. That is, if the N pole of the permanent magnet 130 of the first magnet assembly 100 faces the gear unit 121, the permanent magnet 130 of the second magnet assembly 110 has the S pole of the gear unit. It is configured to face (121).

That is, as shown in Figure 4, the first magnetic assembly 100 provided in the body part 10 and the second magnetic assembly 110 provided in the leg portion 20 of the coupling parts are different poles It is configured to face each other, so that the attraction force between the two.

Hereinafter, the operation of the toy for assembly according to the present invention as described above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, a brief look at the process of assembling the parts of the assembly toy, when the permanent magnet 130 is inserted into the interior of the housing 120, the shielding block 140 is coupled to the housing 120. In this case, the permanent magnet 130 is shielded in the installation space 122 of the housing 120, the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 130 is mainly acted to one side of the housing 120. . This is because the magnetic force is weakened toward the shielding block 140 by the shielding block 140.

The first magnetic assembly 100 and the second magnetic assembly 110 assembled as described above are assembled to the body part 10 and the inner space 11 of the coupling part, respectively. More precisely, the first magnet assembly and the second magnet assembly 110 are press-fitted into the body part 10 and the inner space 11 of the coupling part, respectively, by the press-fit ribs 125 of the housing 120. .

Next, looking at the process of assembling the toy for assembling, the assembler (child) is to combine the desired coupling parts to the body part 10, at this time, to the first magnet assembly 100 of the body part 10 The second magnet assembly 110 of the coupling part is in close contact.

That is, since the first magnet assembly 100 and the second magnet assembly 110 have attractive forces due to different polarities, the first magnet assembly 100 and the second magnet assembly 110 may be coupled by an operation of closely contacting the two without using a separate adhesive.

In this case, since the first magnet assembly 100 and the second magnet assembly 110 do not protrude from the outer surfaces of the body part 10 and the coupling part or the degree of protruding is very small, the first magnet assembly during the assembly process. There is little fear that the 100 or the second magnet assembly 110 may be damaged.

On the other hand, when the assembler assembles the first magnet assembly 100 and the second magnet assembly 110, if assembled at a desired angle, the assembled angle can be maintained even if some external force is applied. This is because the gear unit 121 of the first magnet assembly 100 and the second magnet assembly 110 are engaged with each other.

Therefore, while maintaining a constant angle assembled by the assembler, it is also possible to prevent the coupling force from weakening while sliding between the two.

As shown in Figure 6 (a) and 6 (b), if the assembler couples the leg portion 20 of the coupling part to the body part 10, it can be combined to have a variety of angles.

In addition, the assembler may assemble other coupling parts such as the head part 30 among the coupling parts to the body part 10, in which case the body part 10 is provided with a plurality of first magnetic assemblies 100, The coupling position can be implemented in various ways.

Of course, according to the type of the leg 20, the head 30, etc., it is possible to make a variety of shapes, kinds of animals, it is also possible to replace the eyes or ears of the head 30 separately. Do.

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is capable of many modifications and alterations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims. It is self-evident.

In the above embodiment, although an animal shape is taken as an example of an assembly toy, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and is applicable to an object shape such as a human body or a mechanical device.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the first magnetic assembly 100 is provided on the body part 10, and the second magnetic assembly 110 is provided on the coupling part. However, the first magnet assembly is also coupled to the coupling part. The 100 may be provided so that the coupling between the coupling parts may be possible.
