The present invention relates to the field of toys, and in particular, to a prefabricated toy to be assembled using a magnet.

Recently, as toys for enhancing the creative ability of the infant, a lot of prefabricated toys using magnets have been developed, which is basically a magnet 2 on each side of the component body 1, as shown in FIG. It mounts, and the structure which makes it possible to freely couple | engage between each component by mutual bonding of the mounted magnet 2 is taken.

On the other hand, all the magnets 2 have an N pole and an S pole, and as the same poles meet each other, and a repulsion occurs, a case where the coupling between the parts may be impossible.

In order to prevent this, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the magnet 2 is mounted in the groove 3 formed in the component main body 1, and the cap 10 prevents the magnet 2 from being separated. Invention has been proposed in which the magnet 2 is free to rotate inside the groove 3.

This causes the magnets 2 to meet different poles due to the rotation of the magnet 2, so that the attraction is possible even if any part of the body parts 1 contact each other.

The cap 10 is a member mounted in the groove 3 to prevent the magnet 2 from escaping outward, and the cap 11 and the circumference 12 around it, and from the groove 3 It is constituted by the wedge portion 13 protruding outward of the circumference 12 to prevent the easy departure.

However, it has been pointed out that the following problems.

First, since the cap 11 of the cap 10 installed to prevent the magnet 2 from being detached takes a structure in which the outer side thereof is closed, the cap 11 must be capped between both magnets when coupled with an adjacent component by magnetic force. The stopper portion 11 of (10) is bound to be a structure, which is a factor that weakens the coupling force by the magnetic force.

Therefore, in order to obtain a predetermined coupling force, one having a higher strength of magnetic force must be mounted, which further causes problems such as an increase in product manufacturing cost and an increase in size of the component body 1.

Second, in order to manufacture the magnet toy by the above conventional technique, the process of inserting the magnet 2 into the cap 10, the cap 10 in the state in which the magnet 2 is inserted into the cap 10 in this way Is required to couple the grooves to the grooves 3 of the main body 1.

Therefore, in the process of coupling the cap 10 to the main body 1, it is inconvenient to pay attention so that the magnet 2 does not escape to the outside through the lower opening 14 of the cap 10.

Third, when the main body 1 is formed of a wood material, the cap 10 having the above configuration is inserted into the groove 3 by pressing, and the inner diameter and the wedge portion of the groove 3 In the case where an error exceeding the allowable range occurs in the outer diameter of 13), as the circumference 12 and the wedge 13 are crushed inward, the rotation of the magnet 2 often occurs.

Fourth, since the magnet 2 can be separated through the lower opening 14 of the cap 10, the groove 3 of the main body 1 has a structure in which the lower side is closed as shown in FIG. Inevitably, the process of forming the same number of grooves 3 as the number of magnets 2 is necessary.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, while increasing the bonding force between the parts by the efficient use of magnetic force, magnet mounting parts and magnet toys using the same to make the manufacturing process more simple and efficient To provide for that purpose.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 4 or less, the magnet mounting part 100 according to the present invention has a receiving space of the magnet 2 formed therein, and a plug member 110 having an opening 111 for partially exposing the magnet. ), And the separation prevention means 200 of the magnet, the wedge portion 120 is configured to include.

The stopper member 110 includes a stopper 112 having a magnet exposure opening 111 formed in a core part thereof so that a part of the magnet 2 is exposed, and a circumferential part 113 extending downward from the stopper 112. do.

Departure preventing means 200 is formed in the lower region of the circumferential portion 113 to prevent the magnet 2 accommodated in the inner region formed by the stopper 112 and the circumferential portion 113 to escape.

The wedge portion 120 serves to fix the magnet mounting part 100 so as not to be detached from the state in which the magnet mounting component 100 is installed in the main body 300, and protrudes to the outside of the circumferential portion 113 or the separation preventing means 200. Take

That is, as shown in FIG. 4 or less, the magnet 2 is inserted into the plug member 110 so that a part of the magnet 2 is exposed through the opening of the plug member 110, and the separation preventing means 200 After the opening on the opposite side of the plug member 110 is closed by using a method, the component 100 is installed in the main body 300 by installing the component 100 in this state. Even before the magnet 2 is to be separated from the part 100.

This allows the following effects to be obtained.

First, when the adjacent parts are coupled to the magnets 2, the coupling is possible by direct contact between the magnets 2, so that a sufficiently strong coupling force can be obtained even if the strength of the magnetic force is small.

Therefore, it is possible to reduce the production cost of the product, it is possible to obtain the effect that there is no limit to the size of the component main body 300 to a predetermined size or more.

Second, since the magnet 2 once mounted inside the magnet mounting component 100 does not detach itself, the magnet 2 is in the process of coupling the magnet mounting component 100 to the main body 300. Care must be taken not to deviate outward through the lower opening of the magnet mounting component.

Third, when the magnet mounting component 100 is inserted into the groove of the main body 300 by press-fitting, since the above departure preventing means 200 serves to reinforce the lower opening portion of the magnet mounting component 100, Even if there are some errors in the magnet mounting component 100 and the groove, the frequency of occurrence of distortion in the magnet mounting component 100 is greatly reduced.

Fourth, since the magnet 2 is not separated from the magnet mounting part 100, the structure of the main body does not necessarily have to be as shown in FIG. 3 as in the prior art, and as shown in FIG. 15, the inner side of the main body 300 The through hole 310 penetrating the area can be formed, and the magnet mounting component 100 can be configured to have a configuration or the like provided in each of the openings on both sides of the through hole 310.

In this case, since only one process of forming one through hole 310 is required to mount the two magnets 2 and the magnet mounting component 100, respectively, the conventional groove forming process can be shortened twice. do.

The magnet 2 may take any structure, but in the case of a spherical shape or the like, a part of the magnet 2 may protrude through the opening 111 of the plug member 110. There is an advantage that the bonding strength of the can be made stronger.

Hereinafter, two types of embodiments will be described with reference to the departure preventing means 200.

First, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the separation preventing means 200 may be implemented by the separation preventing part 210 extending inwardly at the lower end of the circumferential part 113 of the plug member 110.

This is inserted into the stopper member 110 inside the magnet 2, as shown in Figure 5 by applying a pressure from the lower side, such as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the separation prevention portion 210 and the wedge ( 120) to form.

The departure prevention part 210 and the wedge part 120 in the present embodiment may be implemented by various embodiments, but as shown in FIG. 7, 7, extending from the circumference 113 to form a folding structure. When the formed configuration is taken, it is preferable in view of being able to be implemented by a simple method without adding a separate material.

The departure prevention portion 210 and the wedge portion 120 of the folding structure as shown in Figure 6, the primary inner folded portion 211 formed by folding to the inner side of the circumferential portion 113; It may be configured to include; secondary outer folded portion 212 formed by folding outward from the inner end of the primary inner folded portion 211.

That is, the first end of the circumferential portion 113 is folded inward, and then the inner end of the second end is folded outward to form the separation preventing part 210 and the wedge part 120.

In addition, as shown in Figure 7, the primary outer folded portion 213 formed by folding to the outside of the circumferential portion 113; It may be configured to include; secondary inner folded portion 214 formed by folding inward from the outer end of the primary outer folded portion 213.

That is, the first end of the circumferential portion 113 is folded outward, the second end of the outer end is folded inward to form the separation prevention portion 210 and the wedge portion 120.

Here, the departure preventing part 210 does not necessarily need to be formed to completely close the lower opening of the component 100, and it is sufficient to close the lower opening only to the extent that the magnet 2 inside thereof does not escape to the outside.

Second, the departure preventing means 200 is provided with a closing plug portion 221 and a closing circumference portion 222 extending upward from the closing plug portion 221, as shown in Figures 8 to 14 One closure member 220; The circumferential portion 113 of the closure member 110 and the closure member 220 are coupled to the closure member 220 to close the opening of the closure member 110, and a receiving space of the magnet 2 is formed therein. Coupling means 230 for coupling the closing circumference 222 of the; includes, wherein the wedge portion 120 is formed in the embodiment protruding out of the circumference 113 or the closing circumference 222 Can be implemented.

That is, the magnet 2 is inserted into the plug member 110, the closing member 220 is coupled to close the lower opening of the plug member 110, and then the component 100 in this state is the magnet toy main body 300. In this way, the magnet 2 is prevented from being separated from the component 100 even before the component 100 is installed in the main body 300.

First, the Example regarding the structure of the wedge part 120 in this Example is demonstrated.

Coupling means 230 for coupling the closure member 110 and the closure member 220 is, as shown in Figures 9, 11, 13, the peripheral portion 113 of the closure member 110 is the circumference for closing the closure member 220 The circumferential portion 113 of the closure member 110 may be implemented by closing the circumferential portion 222 of the closure member 220 as illustrated in FIGS. 10, 12, and 14. It may be implemented by an example that is fitted to the outside fixed.

In the embodiment in which the closing circumference 222 of the closing member 220 is located at the outer side as in the former case, the wedge 120 is formed by the upper end of the closing circumference 222.

That is, when the stopper member 110 and the closing member 220 are coupled, the closing circumference 222 of the closing member 220 is exposed to the outside in its own state, and thus the structure of the wedge 120 is directed upward. Since it will be taken, when it is inserted into the main body 300 it can be prevented that the magnet mounting component 100 is separated from the main body 300 to the outside.

In the case of the embodiment in which the circumferential portion 113 of the stopper member 110 is located at the outer side as in the latter case, it is necessary to separately form the wedge portion 120 by bending the lower end of the circumferential portion 113 to the outside.

Compared to the former embodiment, there is a disadvantage in that a separate wedge portion 120 forming work is required, but since the closure member 110 is fixed to the main body 300, the separation of the magnet mounting part 100 is prevented. The advantage is that it can be more reliably prevented.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the coupling means 230 in the present embodiment will be described.

Coupling means 230 for coupling the closure member 110 and the closure member 220 is a magnet (2) accommodated therein in the process of coupling the magnet mounting component 100 to the main body 300 is not separated It is sufficient to play a role of preventing the bond, so the strength of the bond does not have to be very strong.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the width of the peripheral portion 113 of the closure member 110 is formed to increase gradually from the closure portion 112 toward the outside, whereby the lower end of the peripheral portion 113 is closed. Even if the configuration is fitted to the inner wall of the member 220, the object can be sufficiently achieved.

In addition, even if the width of the closing circumference 222 of the closing member 220 is formed so as to increase toward the outside from the closing plug 221 can be obtained the same effect, Figures 8 to 10 An example of the case in which both the closure member 110 and the closure member 220 have the above configuration is shown.

11 shows another embodiment of the coupling means 230, which includes a plug member groove 231 formed on the outer wall of the circumferential portion 113; And a closing member protrusion 232 formed on an inner wall of the closing circumference 222 to be fitted into the plug member groove 231.

This has the advantage of obtaining a more firm coupling than the embodiment of Figures 8 to 10, when using a thin steel plate as the material of the closure member 110 and the closing member 220, the circumference by a process such as rolling By forming a corrugated structure in the 113 or the closing circumferential portion 222, it is preferable that the upper closure member groove 231 or the closing member protrusion 232 is realized by such a corrugated structure in terms of efficient utilization of the material. Do.

12 shows another embodiment of the coupling means 230, the stopper member protrusion 233 formed on the inner wall of the circumferential portion 113; And a closure member groove 234 formed on an inner wall of the closure circumference 222 so that the closure member protrusion 233 is fitted therein.

Also in this case, it is preferable that the closure member protrusion 233 or the closing member groove 234 is formed by the corrugated structure of the circumferential portion 113 or the closing circumference 222, and the reason is that the implementation of FIG. It is almost the same as the example.

13 shows another embodiment of the coupling means 230, the stopper male threaded portion 235 formed on the outer periphery of the circumferential portion 113; It relates to a structure including; a closure member female screw portion 236 formed on the inner circumference of the upper end of the closure circumference 222 to be screwed to the plug member male screw portion 235.

This has the advantage that the stopper member 110 and the closing member 220 can be firmly coupled by screwing.

14 is a coupling means 230, the closure member female screw portion 237 formed on the lower inner circumference of the circumferential portion 113; Closing member male screw portion 238 formed on the outer periphery of the upper portion of the closing circumference 222 to be screwed to the closure member female screw portion 237; and the effect thereof is in the embodiment of Figure 13 It is similar to the case.

Since the above has been described only with respect to some of the preferred embodiments that can be implemented by the present invention, the scope of the present invention, as is well known, should not be construed as limited to the above embodiments, the present invention described above It will be said that both the technical idea and the technical idea which together with the base are included in the scope of the present invention.
