Description

Toy Blocks {TOY BLOCK}

The present invention relates to a toy block, and more particularly to a coupling structure of the toy block.

In general, toy blocks can be divided into blocks having a structure that can be combined with each other and simply stacked.

Among these, the toy block having a coupling structure has a coupling structure with a certain uneven shape on the surface of the block, such as a Lego block, and a magnet is inserted into the block (Korean Patent Office Publication No. 10-2010-0138474, "Magnet Block toys ", inventors; Jang Chul-shin) or by using a Velcro on the surface of the block (Korea Patent Office Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0271892," Block toys sticking on all sides ", the inventor; Jin Seon-tae) And forming a through hole in the block and using a connecting pin (Korea Patent Office Registration Utility Model Publication No. 20-0257670, "Toy Block", Designer; Lee Kyu-sik).

Among them, a block using a magnet has a complicated structure because the magnet rotates inside the block to remove repulsive force due to polarity, and above all, a manufacturing cost is high due to an increase in the rare earth price, which is a raw material of the magnet.

In addition, LEGO's block is difficult to process when using wood, even if processed, there is a problem that the unevenness and grooves are loose due to repeated use of the nature of the wood, the design of Jin Seon-tae has a unique texture of Velcro and weak children Damage to the skin, and the design of Lee Kyu Sik, because the connection pin must be used separately, there is a fear of storage and loss of the connection pin.

In particular, when using a member separated from the block, such as connecting pins may cause a safety accident swallowed by young children.

Accordingly, the present inventors propose a coupling structure of a block of a polyhedron in another method, but intends to devise a method of designing a simpler, better binding force and a lower manufacturing cost.

It is an object of the present invention to provide another coupling structure of a toy block of a polyhedron, but to provide a toy block having a simple structure and good bonding strength and low manufacturing cost.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a toy block with high safety in use.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is implemented as a coupling structure of the coupling groove and the coupling protrusion in the toy block module formed with coupling grooves 3 or coupling protrusions 5 on one or more surfaces of the polyhedral block module 1. do.

More specifically, the coupling groove 3 is formed of a tubular groove 33 formed in a constant width and depth along the circumference of the pillar 30, the coupling protrusion 5 is a tube shape with both ends open once Is fixed to the column 30 'of the fixing groove 33' formed with the same width and depth as the tubular groove 33, the other end is a tubular projection 52 protruding above the module surface do.

Only one side of the coupling protrusion 5 may be used and a closed cylindrical shape may be used. In this case, the protrusion 52, which is an opening of the coupling protrusion, is formed in a tubular shape so as to be fitted into the pillar 30 of the coupling groove, but the fixing portion is formed with a bottom surface 35 on the bottom surface 54, so that the bottom surface of the fixing groove ( 35) and bind to each other (fixed). Corresponding projection is a tubular shape corresponding to the groove is also formed in a tubular shape.

The binding to the fixing means may be used together with a fixing member such as an adhesive or a bolt, or these means (hereinafter referred to as a 'fixing member' inclusive of these fixing means). In addition, the center portion of the bottom surface 54 may be perforated to simplify the use of the fixing member.

The coupling protrusion 5 is preferably a soft synthetic resin such as silicon.

According to the present invention, there is provided a toy block having another coupling structure having a simple structure and good bonding force and low manufacturing cost.

In particular, the use of soft synthetic silicone as a bonding protrusion may provide a safe toy block having little pollution and good feel as well as no risk of injury due to protrusions.

5 is a coupling diagram using a block module according to the present invention.

In order to more clearly understand the spirit of the present invention, preferred embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the block module according to the present invention has a tubular coupling groove 3 formed on one surface of a cube module, and a tube-shaped coupling protrusion 5 formed on the other surface thereof.

The structure of the block module becomes clearer with reference to FIG. 2. As shown, the fixing groove 3 'on which the coupling groove 3 and the coupling protrusion are mounted is preferably formed in a single shape. That is, after forming the same number of grooves required at a predetermined position on the surface of the polyhedral block module, and attaching the coupling projection tube only to the groove to be formed with the coupling projection. Therefore, the groove that is not attached to the tube for the engaging projection in a single groove is naturally the coupling groove (3).

As a result, the manufacturing process is simple and the coupling effect is uniform, so that the defect rate is lowered, thereby lowering the manufacturing cost.

Looking at these structures in more detail with reference to Figure 2, the coupling groove 3 (the same fixed groove) is a tube-shaped formed in a constant width and depth along the periphery of the cylinder 30 on the surface of the polyhedral block module 1 It consists of a tubular groove (33). In this embodiment, the pillar is cylindrical, but is not necessarily limited thereto. However, it is preferable to use a cylinder in view of workability and use effect.

Coupling protrusion 5 is a fixing portion 51, one end of which is inserted and fixed in the fixing groove (3 ') of the coupling protrusion formed in the same manner as the coupling groove (3) and the tubular protrusion 52 protruding over the module surface. It is.

In addition, the inlet inner edge of the protrusion is treated with an inclined surface 53. This widens the mouth for ease of assembly in use. Therefore, the inclined surface 53 'may be formed at the opposite inlet for assembly convenience.

Meanwhile, the coupling protrusion 5 may be formed by another method. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of the coupling protrusion according to another embodiment. That is, the coupling protrusion 5 and the fixing groove 3 'is made into a so-called tubular shape, and then the coupling protrusion and the module main body are bound using a fixing member such as a screw.

Therefore, the coupling protrusion 5 is open only on one side and the bottom surface 54 is blocked, and correspondingly, the fixing groove 3 'also has a cylindrical shape in which the column is removed, rather than the tubular groove through the column of the above-described embodiment. It is formed into a groove. In this case, the fixing is performed using a fixing member 55 such as a screw.

In the present specification, by using an adhesive or the like, or as shown in FIG. 3, the bottom surface 54 of the coupling protrusion is fixed to the bottom surface 35 of the fixing groove 35 using a fixing member 55 such as a screw from the module 1. This means that the coupling protrusion 5 is not separated.

Therefore, the fixing method may optionally use an adhesive means, a screwing, or the like, or may include all of these means. In addition, in the case of using a screw or a fixing pin as shown in Figure 3 for the convenience of fabrication for drilling the center of the bottom surface 54 of the engaging projection and correspondingly the screw groove on the bottom surface 35 of the coupling groove (3 ') May be formed.

In addition, the coupling protrusion 5 may be any other material, but is preferably a soft synthetic resin material such as soft silicone without harming the human body.

In addition, as shown, the coupling protrusion 5 is usually formed at the center of one side of the polyhedral block module, and the rest of the coupling groove 3 is preferably, but is not necessarily limited to this.

When the block module is small as shown in FIG. 4, it may be difficult to form a coupling groove (or a fixing groove of the coupling protrusion) due to compatibility with other hexahedral block modules. In this case, the length of one side of the block module may be manufactured to a size that can form a coupling groove, and then the edges may be rounded and processed to be the same as the length of one side of the cube unit module.

All the contents shown and described so far are intended to clarify the idea of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection thereto. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should of course only follow the interpretation of the claims.
