The 2nd I shaped clip enables the connected usage of two domino blocks (10).
In addition, in composing the I shaped clip (110) in this invention, another demonstration can be given as shown in FIG. 4, to comprise another protrusion (104) which is formed protruded outside one of the elastic combining part (102).
Also, in composing the protrusion (104) at I shaped clip (110) as above, the protrusion (104) can be composed to include a stick hole (105) to be used for a flag pole that comes to the structure additionally.
Above H shaped clip (120), as shown in the configuration of FIG. 5, is made to form two combining pits (103) to the opposite side of each, with two pair of elastic combining parts (102)(102′), symmetrically at both sides of the body (100).
Here, the width of the combining pit (103) of the H shaped clip (120) as above, is made to allow combining of one domino block (10) thickness (T).
As such, H shaped clip (120) is made to allow separation and connection of multiple domino blocks (10) neighboring via both sides' combining pits (103).
The L shaped clip (130) as above, is made to form two pair of elastic combining parts (102)(102′) making a right angle at the body (100) resulting in two combining pits (103) to each directions of the right angle.
Here, the width of the combining pit (103) of the L shaped clip (130) as above, is made to allow combining of one domino block (10) thickness (T).
This makes the L shaped clip (130) enable separation and connection of multiple domino blocks (10) neighbored via the combining pits (103) to the directions of the right angle.
The + shaped clip (140) above, as shown in the picture of FIG. 7, forms four pair of elastic combining parts (102)(102′) making right angles on the body (100) to make four combining pits (103) to all four directions.
Here, like the cases above, the combining pit (103) of the + shaped clip (140) is made to allow connection with a domino block (10) thickness (T).
Therefore, the + shaped clip (140) is made to enable separation and connection of multiple domino blocks (10) neighbored via the combining pits (103) to the four directions of a cross.
Also, in composing the + shaped clip (140) as above, the body (100) of the + shaped clip (140) can be composed to include a stick hole (105) to be used for a flag pole that comes to the structure additionally.
The C shaped clip (150) above, as shown in the picture of FIG. 8, is made to have the body (100) in the form of a semicircle arch.
And, the two ends inside the body (100) is made to have two pair of elastic combining parts (102)(102′) open to each other's side to form two combining pits (103) to the opposite side.
Here, the width of the combining pit (103) of the C shaped clip (150) is made to allow connection with a domino block (10) thickness (T).
Thus, the C shaped clip (150) is made to allow connection with each end of one domino block (10) to two combining pits (103) to the opposite side.
Apart from this, in composing the clip set for domino toys, that is, in composing I shaped clip (110), H shaped clip (120), L shaped clip (130), + shaped clip (140), and C shaped clip (150), they may additional couple of pressure bumps (102 a) to the opposite of each of the inside of the combining parts (102)(102′) at the inner part of each combining pit (103).
That is, the pressure bumps (102 a) enables elastic combining when insert and combine domino blocks (10) into the combining pit (103), and the bumps provide pressure to the domino blocks (10) with firm pressured fixation power.
Below is the detailed explanation of the actions of the clip set for the domino toys, with the compositions above, of this invention referring to attached pictures.
Referred to the FIG. 1 to FIG. 8, the clip set for domino toys of this invention enables various arrangements of domino blocks (10) by making and setting various structures in many places where domino blocks (10) are arranged using each of I shaped clip (110), H shaped clip (120), L shaped clip (130), + shaped clip (140), and C shaped clip (150).
For this purpose, when making a structure using this clip set for domino toys of this invention, the I shaped clip (110) enables to connect multiple domino blocks (10), H shaped clip (120) enables to separate and connect multiple domino blocks (10), L shaped clip (130) enables to separate and connect multiple domino blocks (10) to the directions of a right angle, + shaped clip (140) enables to separate and connect multiple domino blocks (10) to the directions of a cross, and C shaped clip (150) enables to connect both ends of a domino block (10).
As such, the demonstration, as shown in the configuration of the FIG. 9, of making a structure using the clip set for domino toys of this invention enables the making of, for an example, a bridge structure (20), a square pillar structure (30), a cross pillar structure (40), a wall structure (50), a cylinder structure (60), and a flag pole (70).
First, when making a stair-way bridge structure (20), it can be done by using I shaped clips (110) and H shaped clips (120).
For this, to form a stair in advance, we can use among I shaped clips (110), the 2nd I shaped clip (110 b) which has combining pit (103) of which width is equivalent to two domino blocks (10) thickness (T).
That is, we can make stairs using 2nd I shaped clip (110 b) while combining together two neighboring domino blocks (10) into the combining pit (103), having combining one domino block's (10) end and the other side end of another domino block (10) are folded together to be inserted, which makes the stairs by repeating the combining process.
In this case, when using the 2nd I shaped clip (110 b) to connect domino blocks (10), it is desirable to have the blocks to be symmetrically connected to both of the width direction and to the opposite side of each other.
That is, while making the floor of the bridge using a H shaped clip (120), we can build the floor of the bridge by inserting the end of a neighboring domino block (10) into the combining pit (103) which is formed in a symmetrical way of the H shaped clip (120) and repeating the combining process to the horizontal direction.
In this case, when using the H shaped clip (120) to connect domino blocks (10) as above, it is desirable to connect in a way to be symmetrical to the both sides of the width direction.
Also, when making a square pillar structure (30) with a square form, it can be done by using L shaped clips (130).
That is, we can make a square pillar structure (30) using L shaped clips (130) by arranging four L shaped clips (130) to form a square on the floor while arranging neighboring L shaped clips (130) are headed toward another with the combining pits (103) are matched.
Then, we can connect domino blocks (10) by inserting and combining both ends of the domino blocks (10) to neighboring L shaped clip's (130) corresponding combining pits (103), to connect four L shaped clips (130) using multiple domino blocks (10).
In addition, when making a cross pillar structure (40) with a cross form, it can be made using a + shaped clip (140).
That is, we can make the cross pillar structure (40) using a + shaped clip (140), by inserting and combining the mid-part of a domino block (10) into each of the four combining pit (103) of one + shaped clip (140), making the structure using one + shaped clip (140) and four domino blocks (10).
Also, to make a string form wall structure (50), we can use an I shaped clip, preferably, the 1st I shaped clip (110 a) of which combining pit's (103) width is equivalent to one domino block's (10) thickness (T).
That is, we can insert and combine the end of a neighboring domino block (10) into the combining pit (103) of the 1st I shaped clip (110 a) while inserting and combining neighboring domino blocks with the ends combined together and combined at the same time into the combining pit (103). By repeating this combining process to the horizontal direction, we can build a wall structure (50).
In this case, when connecting domino blocks (10) using the 1st I shaped clip (110 a) as above, it is desirable to match the upper end and lower end combining to correspond to each other.
Also, when making a cylinder structure (60) in a circle form, we can use C shaped clips (150).
That is, we can firstly combine a C shaped clip to one side of a domino block and at this time, both ends of the domino block (10) are inserted and combined into the combining pits (103) that are formed at both ends of the C shaped clip (150) in the opposite directions to each other. In this case, the C shaped clip (150) that is formed at one side of a domino block (10) as above, can be in multiple.
And, we can insert and combine both ends of the domino block (10) into the combining pits (103) of both directions using another C shaped clip (150) at the opposite side of the domino block (10). At this time, the C shaped clip (150) that is formed at the other side of a domino block (10) as above, can be in multiple.
Also, to make a flag pole (70), we can use I shaped clip (110), using an I shaped clip (110) with a protrusion (104).
That is, we can insert and combine a domino block (10) like it is laid on the floor, and put a flag pole (71) inserted into the stick hole (105) in the protrusion (104) of the I shaped clip (110) of which protrusion's stick hole is heading upward.
Also, the clip set for domino toys of this invention allows us to realize another structure through the stick hole (105) formed on the + shaped clip (140).
For an example, we can make a waterwheel structure (80) as shown in FIG. 10, in which case we make it through a H shaped clip (120), an L shaped clip (130), and a + shaped clip (140).
That is, first, we can set up a vertical structure in both sides by linking multiple domino blocks (10) using H shaped clips (120), and link and fix the upper sides with L shaped clips (130) and domino blocks (10). Then, we can set up I shaped clips (110) with a stick hole (105) in the middle parts so that they are arranged the directions to each other.
And then, we can use a + shaped clip (140) to combine four domino blocks (10) to make a waterwheel (not demonstrated in the figures) and, penetrate an axis stick (81) through the stick hole (105) of the + shaped clip (140). And, we can insert and fix the axis stick (81) into the stick hole (105) of the both sides' I shaped clips (110) so that the waterwheel structure is completed.
In the meantime, in this invention, as an example, we demonstrated a bridge structure (20), a square pillar structure (30), a cross pillar structure (40), a wall structure (50), a cylinder structure (60), a flag pole structure (70), and a waterwheel structure (80). However, these are not very limited but it is natural that we can make various structures using each of, or together with the clips of I shaped (110), H shaped (120), L shaped (130), + shaped (140), and C shaped (150).
As have shown above, the clip set for domino toys of this invention makes it possible to make various structures using each of the I shaped clip (110), H shaped clip (120), L shaped clip (130), + shaped clip (140) and C shaped clip (150) and in arranging the domino blocks according to the processes it provides the domino games with much more fun and efficiency allowing various forms of arrangements and especially it allows children to enhance the creativity via the making and using of various structures.
