Hereinafter, one embodiment according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings.

The teaching aid set of this embodiment includes various items, and each item consists of dozens or more. (Excluding wire benders) These items are consumables and any that are deformed or torn during use should be discarded. In other words, the teaching aid set can be used even if some parts are lost during use. Additionally, it is safe as there is no need to use tools such as scissors or knives during use.

In particular, since it is not about creating a standardized shape, but about freely creating what each person wants, there is no set combination of each component. This is the key to developing creativity.

Figures 1A to 1J are diagrams for explaining the components of a teaching aid set for creativity development according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view separately showing the wire bending machine of Figure 1, and Figures 3A and 3B are This is a diagram for explaining the operation of the wire bending machine in FIG. 2. Additionally, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the porous ball of Figure 1C, and Figure 5 is a diagram showing a wire bent using the wire bender of Figure 2. And, Figures 6 and 7 are molecular structural models made using a teaching aid set according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 8 is a configuration diagram of an assembly made using a teaching aid set according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the teaching aid set for creativity development according to this embodiment includes a connecting tube (11), a wire (13), a porous ball (15), a tension string (17), a magnet plate (19), and a variable post (21). , fixed anchor (23), weight (25), coupling ball (29), connecting rod (27), and wire bender (30) are included. In this way, one teaching aid set is composed of several items, so one teaching aid set can be shared and used by multiple children. Moreover, each item consists of dozens of items.

The connecting tube (11 in FIG. 1A) is a hollow tube molded from synthetic resin. The connecting tube 11 is flexible and elastic, can be elastically deformed, and has various lengths. The connecting tube 11 has elasticity and resilience. In other words, when the connecting tube 11 is pressed, it is in a distorted state, and when it is released, it returns to its original state. Additionally, the connecting tube 11 can be connected in the longitudinal direction. That is, one end of the connecting tube 11 can be retracted and inserted into the end of the other connecting tube 11.

And, a plurality of notch lines 11a are formed in the connecting tube 11. The notch line 11a is a cutting line that the user cuts by hand. The two sides of the notch line 11a are grabbed and torn along the notch line 11a, or the notch line is repeatedly folded or unfolded to be cut. Since the notch line 11a is applied like this, the length of the connecting tube 11 can be appropriately adjusted. In addition, the notch line 11a is formed in the longitudinal direction of the connecting tube 11. By cutting the notch line 11a extending in the longitudinal direction, the connecting tube 11 can be unfolded. The connecting tube (11) can be unfolded and wrapped around another connecting tube.

The wire 13 is a wire that extends in the longitudinal direction and maintains a bent state by external force. The length of the wire 13 may vary, for example, 5 cm, 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, or 50 cm. In particular, round finishing portions 13a are formed on both ends of the wire 13. The wire 13 has a rigidity that allows children to easily bend or unfold it with their hands.

The wire 13 is a tool that can implement two-dimensional or three-dimensional geometric figures. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the wire 13 can be bent several times to create a tetrahedral edge line or a trapezoidal shape. By implementing various shapes, you can additionally study the structure and internal angles of shapes. Of course, not only the shape determined with the wire 13. Of course, various structures can be created. The purpose of this teaching aid set is not to create a set object, but to allow individuals to freely create 'anything'. Developing fine motor skills as you handle the wire (13) is an additional function.

Additionally, the wire 13 can be used in combination with the porous ball 15. For example, the wire 13 can be used as a connecting means for the porous ball 15.

The porous ball 15 is a spherical member with a constant diameter and has a plurality of through passages 15a therein. The through passage 15a is a passage through which the wire 13 passes. The through path 15a may or may not pass through the center point of the porous ball 15. The porous balls 15 have various sizes. For example, it may have a diameter of 1 cm, 1.5 cm, 2 cm, etc. The porous ball 15 is molded and manufactured from synthetic resin.

Also, as shown in FIG. 4, a silicon liner 15c is laminated on the inner peripheral surface of the through passage 15a. The silicon liner 15c protects the inner peripheral surface of the through passage 15a and serves to secure the wire 13. In other words, the wire 13 inserted into the through passage 15a is prevented from being pulled out by magnetic force.

Figure 6 is a molecular structure model 50 constructed by combining a connecting tube 11, a wire 13, and a porous ball 15. The molecular structure model is one of numerous results that can be created with some components of the teaching aid set of this embodiment.

The molecular structure model 50 is composed of a wire 13, a connecting tube 11, and a porous ball 15. The wire 13 passes through the interior of the connecting tube 11 and the porous ball 15. The distal end of the wire 13 extending outside of the porous ball 15 is bent at 180 degrees and inserted into the through passage 15a of the porous ball 15 to finish. Additionally, the connecting tube 11 maintains the gap between the porous balls 15. Of course, the notch line (11a) of the connecting tube (11) can be cut to separate the connecting tube (11) and be replaced with another connecting tube (11).

Tensile string 17 is a linear member that can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, it can be used as a component of the tension observation assembly 70 along with a plurality of magnet plates 19, variable posts 21, and fixed anchors 23. A description of FIG. 8 will be provided later.

The magnet plate 19 is a square flat magnet and serves to fix the variable post 21, as shown in FIG. 8. The use of the magnet plate 19 is not limited to fixing the variable post 21, and can be used in various ways depending on the child's preference for using the teaching aid set. And the size or shape of the magnet plate 19 may vary depending on the embodiment.

The variable post 21 consists of a flexible base 21a and a vertical column 21c. The variable post 21 can also have various sizes.

The flexible base 21a is a flexible synthetic resin plate with a certain thickness and is impregnated with iron furniture 21b. When manufacturing the flexible base 21a, iron powder is added to a molten synthetic resin melt, stirred, and then injected. Since the iron powder 21b is immersed in the flexible base 21a, the flexible base 21a can be fixed to the magnet plate 19. The second reason for incorporating the iron powder (21b) into the flexible base (21a) is to lower the center of gravity of the variable post (21). Since the flexible base (21a) is heavy due to the iron furniture (21b), the flexible post (21) does not fall and is stable.

Since the flexible base 21a is flexible, the variable post 21 can be positioned even at uneven points.

The vertical column (21c) is a rod-shaped member whose lower end is fixed to the flexible base (21a) and extends vertically upward, and has a plurality of through holes (21d). The through hole 21d is a hole through which the tension string 17 can pass.

The fixed anchor 23 is a member that ties and secures one end of the tension string 17. The fixed anchor 23 takes the shape of a flat plate and has a friction plate 23a on its bottom. The friction plate 23a is a silicon sheet and is in close contact with the bottom plate (F in FIG. 8). The reason for applying the friction plate (23a) is to satisfy curiosity about friction force using the fixed anchor (23). For example, through a tensile force test using the assembly 70 shown in FIG. 8, the tensile force acting in the direction of arrow P and the friction force of the fixed anchor 23 can be compared.

The upper surface of the fixing anchor 23 is provided with a plurality of fixing protrusions 23c. The fixing protrusion (23c) is a part tied to the tension string (17). Children who use the teaching aid set can not only develop their fine muscles through the process of tying the tension string (17) to the fixing protrusion (23c), but also learn how to knot.

As shown in FIG. 8, the weight 25 is hung on the tension string 17 and serves to apply a tension force to the tension string 17. The weight 25 is provided with a ring 25a, and the ring 25a is fastened to the tension string 17.

Figure 8 is a diagram showing the schematic configuration of the tension observation assembly 70 made using some components constituting the teaching set of this embodiment.

Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that two variable posts (21) and a fixed anchor (23) are arranged in a row, and a tension string (17) is hung on the variable post (21).

Two variable posts (21) are fixed on the magnet plate (19), and a tension string (17) is passed through the through hole (21d). The tension string (17) passes through the through hole (21d) like a thread passing through the eye of a needle and then is tied to the fixing protrusion (23c) of the fixing anchor (23). After tensioning the tension string (17) by distancing the fixed anchor (23) from the variable posts (21) on both sides as much as possible, when the weight (25) is hung on the tension string (17), the tension string (17) is connected to the weight (25). It can be confirmed that it is pulled in the direction of arrow p by the weight of .

The child who built the assembly 70 increases the weight of the weight 25 and observes the movement of the fixed anchor 23 in the direction of arrow d. For example, predict how the fixed anchor (23) will move when a few weights are hung and then conduct an experiment.

Meanwhile, the coupling ball 29 is a member used together with the connecting rod 27. The coupling ball 29 is a spherical member with various diameters and has a plurality of female screw holes 29a. The female thread hole 29a is a hole in which a female thread is formed on the inner peripheral surface.

Additionally, the connecting rod 27 is a rod-shaped member with various lengths that connects the coupling balls. Male thread portions 27a are formed on both ends of the connecting rod 27. The connecting rod 27 is coupled to the coupling ball 29 by screwing the male threaded portion 27a to the female threaded hole 29a. Additionally, the connecting rod 27 is marked with a classification number 27c for each length. For example, the shortest connecting rod (27) is number 1, and the number increases as the length increases. The length of the connecting rod 27 varies from 1 cm to 20 cm.

Figure 7 is a molecular structure model 60 made using the connecting rod 27 and the coupling ball 29. The size and color of the bonding balls 29 forming the molecular structure model 60 may naturally vary.

The various components mentioned above are consumables and each component forms a group of several dozen. However, the wire bender (30 in Figure 1j) is not a consumable, but a tool used to bend the wire 13. Children can bend the wire 13 arbitrarily, but they can bend it to an exact angle using the wire bender 30.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the wire bending machine 30 is used to create an accurate tetrahedral or trapezoid shape. The wire bender 30 is a tool used not to bend wires that are 'difficult to bend', but to bend wires that can be bent by hand to a precise angle.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the wire bending machine 30 includes an angle display plate 31, a fixed supporter 31c, a support plate 31f, a wire pressurizing part, a bending lever 33, and a support pin 34. It has a composition of

The angle display plate 31 is a plate-shaped member that takes the shape of a semicircular disk and is marked with an angle scale 31a indicating the angle on one side. The angle scale 31a is a scale that displays angles from 0 degrees to 180 degrees. The angle display board 31 has a structure similar to a stationery protractor.

The fixed supporter 31c is a member protruding from the origin of the angle scale 31a. The fixed supporter 31c protrudes from the angle display plate 31 and rotatably supports the bending lever 33. Reference numeral 31d is a pin hole. A support pin 34 is inserted into the pin hole 31d.

The fixed supporter 31c serves as a fulcrum supporting the folded portion of the wire 13 to be bent. For example, when folding the central portion of the wire 13, the central portion is pressed to allow the wire 13 to be folded. Supplementary explanation regarding this is provided later. The fixed supporter 31c takes the shape of a cylinder in the drawing. The smaller the diameter of the fixed supporter 31c, the better.

The support plate 31f is a member integrated with one side of the lower end of the angle display plate 31. The support plate (31f) forms a right angle to the angle display plate (31). The support plate 31f is located on one lower side of the fixed supporter 31c and supports the wire 13 to be bent.

A wire passage 37 is provided between the support plate 31f and the fixed supporter 31c. The wire to be bent passes through the wire passage 27 and a portion of it is placed on the support plate 31f.

The wire pressing unit serves to press and support the wire passed through the wire passage 37 and placed on the support plate 31f. That is, when bending the wire 13, the wire is prevented from being pushed in the direction of arrow m.

A rotating pressing plate (31h) is installed as a wire pressing part. The rotation pressing plate 31h is a plate-shaped member connected to one end of the support plate 31f with a hinge 31k. When in use, the rotation pressing plate 31h rotates toward the support plate 31f along the direction of arrow r, and presses and fixes the wire supported on the support plate in the direction of arrow t.

The bending lever 33 is a member whose one end is linked to the fixed supporter 31c and rotates in the direction of arrow g or the opposite direction with the fixed supporter as the center of rotation. A hinge portion (33a) coupled to the support pin (34) is provided at one end of the bending lever (33). The rotation axis of the hinge portion 33a passes through the origin of the angle scale 31a. The bending lever 33 rotates in the direction of arrow g while supporting the wire 13 to be bent, so that the wire 13 is bent using the fixed supporter as a fulcrum.

The process of bending the wire 13 using the wire bender 30 is as follows.

First, the wire 13 to be bent is passed through the wire passage 37. At this time, the part to be bent is located at the lower part of the fixed supporter (31c). Thereafter, the rotation pressing plate 31h is rotated in the direction of arrow r to press and secure the wire 13 to the support plate 31f.

When the above process is completed, rotate the bending lever 33 in the direction of arrow g. When the bending lever 33 is rotated upward, the wire 13 is pushed up while supported by the bending lever 33, and at this time, the portion covering the lower part of the fixed supporter 31c is folded.

In particular, when rotating the bending lever 33 upward in the direction of arrow g, it is rotated by the correct angle by referring to the angle scale 31a. If the upward rotation angle is, for example, 60 degrees, the internal angle of the wire 13 after bending becomes 120 degrees. The wire 13 can be bent to an accurate bending angle by referring to the angle scale 31a. If bending is completed through the above process, the bending lever 33 is retracted and the bent wire 13 is taken out.

Above, the present invention has been described in detail through specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
