Abstract

There is described a didactic device for learning geometric figures comprising six basic individual figures of different sizes which can be assembled one inside the other in a specific order by means of a rotating system using magnets arranged at the ends of each figure. Preferably the rotating system is a screwing-in or overlapping mechanism.

Description

DIDACTIC DEVICE FOR LEARNING GEOMETRIC FIGURES
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention refers to a didactic device for learning geometric figures, comprising six basic individual figures being placed one inside the other and assembled by means of a rotating system using magnets which are arranged at the ends of each figure. The present invention can be included, therefore, in the field of games and education.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known that the games where pieces or figures can be fitted one inside the other stimulate psychomotor skills, and at the same time they are used as a way for people to relax and have fun. Since the game is formed by geometric figures, recognition of these shapes which are fundamental in teaching and learning maths, is also achieved.
The current solutions incorporate mechanisms such as individual pieces which can be joined by means of magnets so as to form a three-dimensional object (Patent US 5,826,872). These pieces constitute spherical figures. Other objects include figures of node shapes of prismatic symmetry for space frame constructions (Patent US 5,265,395). The node shapes include various polyhedral, spherical, ellipsoidal, cylindrical or saddle shaped nodes derived from polygonal prisms and its dual. Other objects include a 3-D puzzle formed by three pairs of symmetrical conical surfaces (Patent US 8,109,512 B2).
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention refers to a device for learning geometric figures, comprising six basic individual geometric figures placed one inside the other, and assembled by means of a rotating system using magnets arranged at the ends of each figure.
In a preferred embodiment, the geometric figures are divided into two parts which are easy to join by means of a screwing-in or overlapping mechanism.
In a preferred embodiment, the basic geometric figures are: sphere, triangle, rectangle, square, rhombus and trapezium. Each figure is divided into two parts, assembled by means of a rotating system.
In another preferred embodiment, the pieces of the invention are made of different materials selected from polymers, wood, borosilicate and stone among others.
The device of the invention is intended to be a device at the same time for playing and for recognizing the geometric figures. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
To implement the present description being made and in order to provide a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as part of this description, with an illustrative but not limitative purpose, which represents the following:
FIG. 1 .- Perspective view of the device of the invention as a whole. FIG. 2.- Perspective view of the joining mechanism for both parts of the sphere. FIG. 3.- Perspective view of the mechanism for joining the triangle. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
The following is a detailed description, with the help of figures 1 -3 referred above, of an exemplary preferred embodiment of the device for learning geometric figures, being object of the present invention.
FIG 1 , shows that the device for learning geometric figures comprises a sphere including in the inner side thereof the geometric figures being numbered (1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The sphere is formed by two parts of the same side, which will be joined by a screwing-in mechanism (FIG 2).
The device of the invention additionally comprises magnets in each piece, located at the ends of each geometric figure so as to fix the geometric figures (7) once inside each other, according to what is shown in FIG 3.
The device of the invention, since it is formed by six individual pieces one inside the other, allows varying the size of the pieces and the order in which one figure is going to appear inside the other. Each piece can be easily assembled and handled, which facilitates the game and the recognition of the geometric figures.
