By using the extendable ruler 10, a change in angle or a planar shape of various shapes can be formed. 8 and 9 for further explanation.

FIG. 8 is a schematic view of various embodiments using a plurality of extensible elements according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a cross- Fig. 5 is a plan view schematically showing a state in which the light emitting diode can be changed.

As shown in Fig. 8 (a), two elongated members can be used to form the angle of incidence. That is, the magnets 320, which are provided in the second ruler body 200 of the extendable member 10 and the magnets 310, which are coupling means provided in the first ruler body 100 of one extendable member 10, Are joined together to form one vertex, and an angle between the two extensible elements is formed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), a triangle can be formed by using three elongated members 10, 20, and 30. 2) provided in the first ruler body 100 of one extendable member 10 through a magnet provided in each of the extendable members 10, 20 and 30, 2) provided in the second ruler body 201 of one elongatable member 10 are coupled and the magnets 320 (see Fig. 2) provided in the second ruler body 200 of the one elongated member 10 are engaged, 2) provided on the first ruler body 102 of another extendable member 30 adjacent thereto and the first ruler body 101 of the other extendable member 20 And the second ruler body 202 of another adjacent extendable member 30 are joined through the magnets 310 and 320 (see FIG. 2) to form one triangle.

Since the length of each of the extendable members 10, 20 and 30 can be extended or contracted through the magnets 310 and 320, as shown in FIG. 9 (a) You can directly view the changes in length and angle in the triangle, which will help you learn more about roads, angles, or geometry.

On the other hand, if the number of extendable rulers 10 is greater, the more various types of polygons can be formed. For example, a quadrangle of the shape shown in FIG. 8 (c) can be constructed with four extensible characters 10, and it is possible to form a quadrangle having an angle and a length as shown in FIG. 9 (b) It is also possible to see that a rectangular square is changed by an angle or a length like a parallelogram with a change.

It is a great help to learn about the plan type such as length, angle and so on by using the extender.

On the other hand, the following extendable member 10 may further include an angle measuring device (not shown) such as the following. The first or second ruler body 100 or the second ruler body 200 is coupled by the coupling means as described above at one end of the first ruler body 100 or at the other end of the second ruler body 200, It is also desirable to include an angle meter capable of indicating the angle between the first and second ruler bodies 100, 200 of the adjacent extensible arms 10 connected by the connecting means .

More specifically, the angle measuring device may be provided with a coupling means such as a magnet or a ball pin 330 or a ball pin groove 340 provided in the first ruler body 100 or the second ruler body 200 of the extendable member 10 .

The thus constructed angle measuring device can be combined so that the two extendable rulers 10 are placed at the center of the angle measuring device on the vertex formed through the magnets 310 and 320 or the ball pin 330 and the ball pin groove 340 . When the center line passing through the middle of the width of the extendable ruler 10 is displayed on the extendable ruler 10, the angle between the center lines of the two extendable rulers 10 can be grasped through the angle measuring instrument.

In other words, since the center line of the two extendable arms 10 intersects on the vertex formed by the magnets 310 and 320 or the like, when the center point of the angle meter is placed on this vertex, the two extendable arms 10 ) Can be grasped.

An embodiment including such an angle measuring instrument is also preferable.

On the other hand, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, it is also preferable that both ends of the extendable member 10 are rounded. In particular, it is preferable that both ends of the ruler 10 are rounded in a semicircular shape having a width of the extendable ruler 10 as a diameter. If the extensible arms 10 are rounded at both ends, it is preferable to prevent the safety problem that may be injured in the process of children playing with the child or playing with the child.

It is further preferable that both ends of the magnet 10 are formed in a semicircular shape having a width of the extendable magnet 10 and diameters 310 and 320 are mounted at the center of the magnet. When the magnets 310 and 320 are mounted on the center of the semicircular shape, the ends of the semicircular shape are rounded in a semicircular shape having the width of the extendable member 10 as a diameter. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, Since the corner portion of the plan view type is rounded irrespective of the angle, it is preferable that it is not damaged by the angled corner portion while handling the ruler, and is also improved in appearance.

As such, the extensible member according to the present invention can be extended or contracted by itself, and can be coupled with the adjacent extendable member, so that a plurality of extendable members can be connected to each other to form various types of planar shapes Since the change of angle due to the change of the length can be directly experienced, the learning efficiency of the change of the shape, angle and line segment using the ruler can be increased, and it is advantageous to improve the spatial perception ability.
