Abstract

L'invention porte sur un jeu de blocs aimantés dont un angle de liaison est réglable, qui comprend des blocs liés entre eux par l'intermédiaire d'une force magnétique d'aimants permanents et liés entre eux dans diverses formes à des angles de liaison libres. Le jeu de blocs aimantés comprend : un aimant permanent comportant un pôle N et un pôle S respectivement agencés sur des faces supérieure et inférieure de celui-ci ; un support d'aimant auquel l'aimant permanent est combiné, le support d'aimant comportant un premier dispositif de support de rotation formé dans une direction latérale de l'aimant permanent ; et les blocs comportant chacun un second dispositif de support de rotation formé sur chacune de deux parties d'extrémité de celui-ci, le support d'aimant étant supporté rotatif à l'extérieur de la partie d'extrémité du bloc de telle sorte que le second élément de support de rotation est lié au premier élément de support de rotation.
