Description

{Shining Tubeblock Igloo (alias Toygloo)} Shining Tube Block Igloo

The present invention has the same structure as the IGLOO used for temporary accommodation of Eskimo people and makes it possible for children to make an igloo indoors by using an ice-like tube block which is not actual ice, It will also help to build a dream of making the igloo by hand, which will greatly contribute to the spatial perception ability and emotional development. The exterior of the igloo is made of ice blocks, so there is a sense of reality, and it is very beautiful because it can be produced in a variety of colors by illuminating the inside of an ice-shaped tube block. The inside of the room is also lighted and comfortable It is very easy and convenient to disassemble, assemble, move and store.

Conventionally, a large-sized toy for playing a block is a solid finished block such as a plastic, a wood, a metal, and a sponge, which is inconvenient to move and occupies a large space in storage. As for the igloo type toys, there is an idea of making a small size actual ice block by freezing the frame to make an igloo. It is difficult to implement because of the broken ice block, melting and difficulty of combining blocks.

In addition, tubular gymnasium with cylindrical tubular design using the name of Igloo was devised, but it felt like a small playground with a tube rather than a tent simply because it was separated from the building of ice block, which is characteristic of Igloo.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a real play space of an igloo type by stacking ice-shaped tube blocks 100, 230, and 160 in a predetermined order.

(110a, b, 150a) formed on each block joint surface by injecting air into an internally printed tube very similar to an ice shape, and a block coupling method in which a velcro or a magnet 110 When the blocks are combined and stacked in the order determined by the joining method of attaching and bonding, and a lighting device 160 of a reverse tapered type is mounted at the top, the igloo is completed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the "toiglue" according to the present invention allows children to feel the sense of accomplishment by making the igloo directly with their own hands, greatly helps children's spatial perception ability and emotional development, And bright indoor play space can be realized, and it is possible to draw out various ideas such as a window can be taken out by subtracting one block, and it is a remarkable playground device which is easy to disassemble, assemble, move and store.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the uneven coupling type of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a detailed view of an illumination block corresponding to a lighting device of the product; 4 is an internal view of FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 6 and 7 are different pattern diagrams of FIG.

The tube ice block embodied in the drawing is composed of 6 pieces per layer, 24 pieces of igloo tube ice block 100 of 4 layer structure, 5 pieces of inlet tube ice block 210, a tapered plastic material lighting block 160 at the top of the igloo, It consists of 1 piece, total 30 pieces. This is because it is easy to manufacture and manage because the structure is simple if the pieces are small. However, it is considered that the piece is a suitable piece to solve the difficulty that the real feeling is low and the reality is high but the manufacturing and management becomes difficult. However, this can be changed as much as the appropriate piece in the manufacturing process. Also, the thickness of the block is about 15cm ~ 20cm so as to prevent waste of space and to realize realism and three-dimensional feeling. This can also be changed by the appropriate thickness in the manufacturing process.

The materials of the tube ice blocks 100 and 230 are made of environmentally friendly silicone or environment-friendly urethane which is resistant to temperature and pressure, not PVC, considering the health of children, and it is manufactured so as to have a strength in a thickness of 0.4-0.5 mm will be good. For a complete implementation, each corner 240 is more roundly rounded to make it thicker and rounder than the face portion. It serves as a frame to prevent distortion (distortion) of the block when air is injected, and at the same time, it is spaced apart by the thickness of the Velcro when the Velcro is coupled between the blocks. In addition, a translucent ice pattern, which is not opaque, is printed inside the tube ice block so that the light can be diverted to the outside. On the inner surface 250 of the tube ice blocks 100 and 230, Inside the silver coated paper, the outer side (the pattern shown inside the Igloo) prints the ice pattern and fuses it.

The shape of the igloo has an elliptic hemispherical structure, which is like a half-egg cut, not a hemisphere, to secure internal space. The flooring material (140) is made of a white waterproof material reminiscent of snow. Velcro (150) is attached to the periphery. Velcro is attached to the bottom of the tube ice block to be coupled to the upper part. (The concavo-convex coupling type and the magnet coupling type described below are the same in their coupling correspondence structure).

An air inlet 120 is provided at an upper portion of each of the tube ice blocks 100 and 230. This serves also as a center indication of the block and also serves as a boundary guiding display of the blocks to be stacked on the upper portion. The coupling between each block is a velcro 110, and it is preferable to use a transparent velcro 110 so that the light of the external light emitted from the top lighting block 160 can be diffused well. Since the structural characteristics of the dome-shaped igloo are the dispersion of the load, the inclination angle is given to the upper, lower, left and right coupling surfaces of the block as shown in the figure. In addition, the number 130 is printed on the upper part of the tube ice blocks 100 and 230. The number of the blocks 130 is printed in the clockwise direction from the left side of the entrance.

The above Velcro type can be difficult to realize a complete igloo shape due to a slight distortion even if the attachment of the Velcro joint part is shifted by one. In addition, as the velcro portion over time, the attachment portion may reach the end of its service life due to contamination or the like. In this concavo-convex coupling type, concave and convex irregularities 110a, b and 150a are provided between the blocks, instead of the velcro. The block concave portions 110a, b and the block convex portion 110b are made of the same material as the whole tube, and are made 0.3 to 0.5 cm thicker than the front and rear surfaces of the tube. This makes the shape of the tube block durable and clean, This is to prevent abrasion of the coupling surface during injection and to increase the frictional force between the contact surfaces during coupling, thereby further completing the degree of coupling. The height and depth of the concave-convex portions 110a, b and 150a are 3 cm and the width is 5 cm, so that the block can be easily coupled and the bonding strength can be obtained. Another coupling method is a magnet coupling type in which a block can be coupled using a magnet 150 in place of the velcro and concave-convex coupling. This method is disadvantageous in that the weight of the block is increased and the coupling force between the blocks is weak and slip can occur. In particular, since the magnet 150 is opaque, it interferes with the light diffusion of the external light emitted from the top lighting block 160 , It can be one of the iso-joining methods in that it can be easily implemented.

The size of the igloo is about 110 ~ 120cm which is high enough for the children under the age of 7 ~ 8 to be able to stand up, and the bottom diameter is about 170 ~ 200cm which can seat about 3 people. However, this can be changed as much as the appropriate size in the manufacturing process. The size of the inlet portion 220 is sufficient if an adult male can crawl and move his or her knees against the floor.

The most characteristic feature of the present invention is the lighting block 160 which is made of light plastic and is coated with other materials such as eco-friendly silicone or urethane in order to prevent damage to the surface thereof, and finished by printing ice patterns. This tapered block having an upper diameter of 30 cm, a lower diameter of 15 cm and a height of 15 cm has an outer light emitting portion 170 wrapping the LED light source with a polycarbonate (PC) material having a width of about 5 cm at the center of the side surface, And has an internal light emitting portion 180 covering an LED light source with a PC plate and an operation button 190 on the upper surface. By inserting it at the top of the igloo, it is possible to produce the exterior color of the igloo as the LED light source, and at the same time, it serves as the indoor light source of the LED light source, thereby realizing a bright and cozy interior. It is also a great advantage that the operation method is diversified by the operation button 190.

In addition, it is possible to supply DC power directly by using a battery or a charging device as a power source of an LED light source, so that it can be manufactured lightly without requiring an extra heavy power supply such as an adapter or an SMPS.

The present invention is a play space which is light and compact in volume and can be easily moved and stored by means of the decomposition and assembly of Igloos and most of all air injection and exhaustion, and it provides children with space perception ability, emotional development and new play space It will be a good playground and a publishing house. In addition, the size smaller than the above-mentioned size and the large size can be manufactured in various sizes according to the age of use. For this reason, the present invention can be widely used not only in nursery facilities such as day nurseries and kindergartens, but also in indoor and outdoor play spaces and educational environments.
