Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
In the magnet type board toy of the above type, only the edge portion of the board member on which the magnet is disposed is connected to another magnet type board toy. Therefore, a connection method which can be widely varied is required.
Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a magnet type board toy capable of obtaining a varied coupling method.
Means for solving the problems
A magnet type plate toy according to one aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of No. 1 magnets and a polygonal plate member. The plurality of 1 st magnets are columnar and have magnetization directions orthogonal to the axial direction thereof. The plate member has a plurality of 1 st receiving portions for receiving the plurality of 1 st magnets one by one therein. The plurality of 1 st magnets are housed in the 1 st housing portion so as to be movable along the side portion of the plate member and rotatable about a rotation axis along the axial direction and a rotation axis along the thickness direction of the plate member. The 1 st receiving portions are arranged along the side portions of the plate member so as to be spaced apart from each other. The plurality of 1 st receiving portions have one end portion and the other end portion in a direction along the side portion. When viewed from the thickness direction, the length of one end portion is greater than or equal to the length of the 1 st magnet in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction and shorter than the length of the 1 st magnet in the axial direction.
In the magnet type board toy, the 1 st magnet is accommodated in the 1 st accommodating portion of the board member so as to be movable along the side portion of the board member. Therefore, the magnet type board toy can be connected to another magnet type board toy in a wide range in the side portion. The 1 st receiving portion has one end portion in a direction along the side portion. When viewed from the thickness direction of the plate member, the length of one end portion is equal to or longer than the length of the 1 st magnet in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction and shorter than the length of the 1 st magnet in the axial direction. Therefore, the entire pair of end portions of the 1 st magnet in the axial direction can be disposed at the one end portion of the 1 st housing portion. However, the entire pair of end portions of the 1 st magnet in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction cannot be arranged at one end portion of the 1 st housing portion. The end portion of the 1 st magnet in the axial direction is weaker in magnetic force than the end portion of the 1 st magnet in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction. Therefore, even if the entire end portion of the 1 st magnet in the axial direction is disposed at the one end portion of the 1 st housing portion, it is difficult to connect to the 1 st magnet in the adjacent 1 st housing portion. This can prevent the 1 st magnets from being coupled to each other between the 1 st receiving portions adjacent to each other, and can enlarge the range in which the 1 st magnets can move along the side portions. The 1 st magnet is housed in the 1 st housing portion so as to be rotatable not only about a rotation axis along the axial direction but also about a rotation axis along the thickness direction of the plate member. Therefore, the magnet type board toy can be connected to another magnet type board toy even in a portion other than the side portion of the board member. As described above, a connection method which is rich in variations can be obtained.
In the magnet type board toy, the length of the other end portion may be equal to or longer than the length of the 1 st magnet in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction and shorter than the length of the 1 st magnet in the axial direction when viewed from the thickness direction. In this case, the entire pair of end portions of the 1 st magnet in the axial direction can be disposed at the other end portion of the 1 st housing portion. However, the entire pair of end portions in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the 1 st magnet cannot be arranged at the other end portion of the 1 st housing portion. This can prevent the 1 st magnets from being coupled to each other between the 1 st receiving portions adjacent to each other, and can further expand the range in which the 1 st magnets can move along the side portions.
In the magnet-type board toy, the 1 st magnet may be in a quadrangular prism shape. In this case, the 1 st magnet is coupled to another magnet type plate toy at the flat side surface portion. Therefore, the coupling force can be improved as compared with the case where the 1 st magnet is cylindrical and coupled to another magnet type plate toy at the curved side surface portion.
The magnet type plate toy may further include a 2 nd magnet, and the plate member may further include a 2 nd receiving portion disposed therein to be spaced apart from the side portion and the plurality of 1 st receiving portions. The 2 nd magnet may be accommodated in the 2 nd accommodating portion so as to be movable in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction. In this case, the 2 nd magnet is housed in the 2 nd housing portion. Therefore, a more versatile connection method can be obtained.
Effects of the invention
According to one aspect of the present invention, a magnet type board toy can be provided in which a variable connection method can be provided.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a magnet type board toy according to an embodiment in which a part thereof is broken. The magnet type board toy 1 shown in fig. 1 is a toy for intellectual education for developing creativity and imagination of children through a game. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing a state in which an upper wall of the magnet type board toy of fig. 1 is removed. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the magnet type plate toy 1 includes a plurality of (8 in this case) 1 st magnets 2, 2 nd magnets 3, and a plate member 4.
The 1 st magnet 2 and the 2 nd magnet 3 are columnar. For example, the 1 st magnet 2 and the 2 nd magnet 3 have a quadrangular prism shape with a bottom surface, and particularly, have a square column shape with a bottom surface being square. The 1 st magnet 2 and the 2 nd magnet 3 are made of the same material, for example. The 1 st magnet 2 and the 2 nd magnet 3 are, for example, neodymium magnets. The 1 st magnet 2 and the 2 nd magnet 3 have magnetization directions orthogonal to the axial direction thereof. That is, the 1 st magnet 2 and the 2 nd magnet 3 are divided into two in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction. The 1 st magnet 2 has: an N-pole portion disposed on one side in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction; and an S-pole portion disposed on the other side in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction. The size (volume) and magnetic force of the 2 nd magnet 3 are larger than those of the 1 st magnet 2, for example. The outline of the 1 st magnet 2 is, for example, 3mm × 3mm × 6 mm. The outline of the second magnet 3 is, for example, 3mm × 3mm × 8 mm.
The plate member 4 is a plate-like member having a uniform thickness. The plate member 4 has a polygonal shape such as a triangle or a rectangle when viewed from the thickness direction D1 of the plate member 4. As an example, the plate member 4 has a rectangular shape, particularly a square shape, when viewed from the thickness direction D1. The plate member 4 has a plurality of (here, 4) side portions 4 a. Each side portion 4a is provided with a groove 4b having a U-shaped cross section extending in the thickness direction D1. The groove 4b is provided at the center in the longitudinal direction of the side portion 4 a. The groove 4b may not be provided.
Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the upper wall of the magnet board toy of fig. 1. As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the plate member 4 is hollow, having a base member 5 and an upper wall 6. The bottom member 5 has: a bottom wall 7 opposite to the upper wall 6; and 4 side walls 8 connecting the upper wall 6 with the bottom wall 7. The upper wall 6 and the bottom wall 7 are square with one side for example 75 mm. The 4 side walls 8 are for example 75mm x 6.5mm rectangular. That is, the thickness of the plate member 4 is, for example, 6.5mm, and the plate member 4 has a square shape with one side of, for example, 75mm when viewed from the thickness direction D1.
The plate member 4 is made of plastic such as ABS resin (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer), for example. By making the plate member 4 of plastic, it can be easily manufactured by, for example, injection molding. The interest of children can be increased by using plastics of various colors as the material of the plate member 4, for example. By using a transparent plastic material as the material of the plate member 4, the inside of the assembled three-dimensional figure can be seen. This can further increase the interest of the child.
The plate member 4 is formed by covering the opening of the bottom member 5 with the upper wall 6. The bottom member 5 and the upper wall 6 are assembled by fitting cylindrical portions 7a provided at the four corners of the bottom wall 7 and
A plurality of ribs 11-13 are provided inside the bottom member 5. A plurality of ribs 11-13 are provided on the bottom wall 7. The ribs 11 to 13 extend in the thickness direction D1 of the plate member 4. The height (length in the thickness direction D1) of the plurality of ribs 11 to 13 is equal to the distance between the upper wall 6 and the bottom wall 7. The top ends of the plurality of ribs 11 to 13 are connected to the upper wall 6. A plurality of ribs 11-13 extend along the bottom wall 7. Inside the bottom member 5, a rib 13 is provided in addition to the ribs 11, 12. This improves the strength of the plate member 4.
The bottom wall 7 is provided with a plurality of substantially cylindrical portions 14. The plurality of substantially cylindrical portions 14 are cylindrical members provided with slits extending in the axial direction. The plurality of substantially cylindrical portions 14 have a C-shaped cross section. The plurality of substantially cylindrical portions 14 are arranged such that the slits face the grooves 4 b. The substantially cylindrical portions 14 are fitted to the
The plate member 4 has a plurality of (here, 8) 1 st receiving portions 21 and 2 nd receiving portions 22 therein. The plurality of 1 st receiving portions 21 receive the plurality of 1 st magnets 2 one by one. The plurality of 1 st receiving portions 21 are defined by the rib 11, the upper wall 6, the bottom wall 7, and the side wall 8. The plurality of 1 st receiving portions 21 are arranged along the side portion 4a of the plate member 4 so as to be spaced apart from each other. The 1 st receiving portions 21 are arranged in pairs along the side portions 4 a. The 1 st accommodation portion 21 has an end portion 21a and an end portion 21b in a direction along the side portion 4 a.
The plurality of 1 st housing portions 21 are disposed such that, in a pair of 1 st housing portions 21 adjacent to each other, end portions 21a are adjacent to each other or end portions 21b are adjacent to each other. In the pair of first receiving portions 21 arranged along the side portions 4a, the end portions 21b face each other with the groove 4b interposed therebetween.
Fig. 4 is a partially enlarged view of fig. 2. As shown in fig. 4, when viewed from the thickness direction D1 (see fig. 1), the length L1 of the end portion 21a is equal to or greater than the length L2 of the 1 st magnet 2 in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction and shorter than the length L3 of the 1 st magnet 2 in the axial direction. The length L4 of the end portion 21b is greater than or equal to the length L2 and shorter than the length L3 when viewed from the thickness direction D1. The length L1 is equal to the length L4, for example.
The length L5 of the 1 st housing part 21 in the direction orthogonal to the side part 4a (the side part 4a where the 1 st housing part 21 is provided) is longer than the length L3. The length L6 of the 1 st receiving portion 21 in the direction along the side portion 4a is longer than, for example, 3 times the length L3, longer than 1/4 of the length of the side portion 4a, and shorter than 1/3 of the length of the side portion 4 a. The length L1 is for example 5 mm. As described above, the length L2 is, for example, 3mm, and the length L3 is, for example, 6 mm. The length L1 is for example 5 mm. The length L5 is, for example, 9 mm. The length L6 is for example 22 mm.
The length of the 1 st receiving portion 21 in the thickness direction D1 (the interval between the upper wall 6 and the bottom wall 7) is shorter than the length L3. Therefore, in the 1 st housing part 21, the axial direction of the 1 st magnet 2 is orthogonal to the thickness direction D1, and does not extend along the thickness direction D1. The length of the 1 st accommodation portion 21 in the thickness direction D1 is, for example, 4.8 mm.
The plurality of 1 st magnets 2 are housed in the 1 st housing portion 21 so as to be movable along each side portion 4a of the plate member 4 and rotatable about a rotation axis along the axial direction and a rotation axis along the thickness direction D1. In other words, the 1 st housing portion 21 is set to a size such that the 1 st magnet 2 can rotate about a rotation axis along the axial direction and along the thickness direction D1.
As shown in fig. 2, the 2 nd housing portion 22 houses the 2 nd magnet 3. The 2 nd accommodating portion 22 is defined by the rib 12, the upper wall 6 (see fig. 1), and the bottom wall 7. The 2 nd housing part 22 is disposed separately from the side part 4a and the plurality of 1 st housing parts 21. The 2 nd accommodating portion 22 is, for example, a square shape having one side of 26mm when viewed from the thickness direction D1 (see fig. 1), and is disposed in the center portion of the plate member 4. Each corner of the 2 nd accommodating portion 22 faces the central portion of each side portion 4a of the plate member 4 (see fig. 1). The respective corners of the 2 nd accommodating portion 22 face the grooves 4b via the substantially cylindrical portion 14. Each side of the 2 nd receiving portion 22 is connected to the cylindrical portion 7a by a rib 13. The 2 nd magnet 3 is accommodated in the 2 nd accommodating portion 22 so as to be movable in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction D1.
The length of the 2 nd accommodating portion 22 in the thickness direction D1 (the interval between the upper wall 6 and the bottom wall 7) is shorter than the length of the 2 nd magnet 3 in the axial direction. Therefore, in the 2 nd housing part 22, the axial direction of the 2 nd magnet 3 is orthogonal to the thickness direction D1, and does not extend along the thickness direction D1. The length of the 2 nd container 22 in the thickness direction D1 is equal to the length of the 1 st container 21 in the thickness direction D1, for example. The length of the 2 nd accommodating portion 22 in the thickness direction D1 is, for example, 4.8 mm.
The 2 nd magnet 3 is housed in the 2 nd housing portion 22 so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis along the axial direction and a rotation axis along the thickness direction D1. In other words, the 2 nd accommodating portion 22 is set to a size such that the 2 nd magnet 3 can rotate about a rotation axis along the axial direction and the thickness direction D1.
In the magnet type plate toy 1 configured as described above, the 1 st magnet 2 is accommodated in the 1 st accommodating portion 21 so as to be movable along the side portion 4a of the plate member 4. Therefore, it can be coupled to another magnet type board toy over a wide range in the side portion 4 a. It is also possible to move (slide) the other magnet type panel toy along the side portion 4a while keeping the other magnet type panel toy coupled to the side portion 4a of the magnet type panel toy 1. The other magnet type board toy may have the same configuration as the magnet type board toy 1, or may have a configuration different from the magnet type board toy 1. As an example, another magnet type board toy has the same configuration as the magnet type board toy 1.
The length L1 is greater than or equal to the length L2 and shorter than the length L3 when viewed from the thickness direction D1. Therefore, the entire pair of end portions 2a (the bottom surface portion of the 1 st magnet 2) in the axial direction of the 1 st magnet 2 can be disposed at the end portion 21a of the 1 st housing portion 21. However, the entire pair of end portions 2b (side surface portions of the 1 st magnet 2) in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the 1 st magnet 2 cannot be disposed at the end portion 21a of the 1 st housing portion 21. The end 2a is weaker in magnetic force than the end 2 b. Therefore, even if the entire end portion 2a is disposed at the end portion 21a of the 1 st housing portion 21, the 1 st magnet 2 is less likely to be coupled to the 1 st magnet 2 in the adjacent 1 st housing portion 21. This can prevent the 1 st magnets 2 from being coupled to each other between the 1 st accommodation portions 21 adjacent to each other, and can enlarge the range in which the 1 st magnets 2 can move along the side portion 4 a.
The 1 st magnet 2 is housed in the 1 st housing portion 21 so as to be rotatable not only about a rotation axis along the axial direction but also about a rotation axis along the thickness direction D1. Therefore, the magnet type board toy 1 can be connected to another magnet type board toy even in a portion other than the side portion 4a of the board member 4. As described above, according to the magnet type board toy 1, a connection method which is rich in variation with respect to other magnet type board toys can be obtained.
In the magnet type board toy 1, the length L4 of the end portion 21b is equal to the length L1 of the end portion 21a when viewed from the thickness direction D1. That is, length L4 is greater than or equal to length L2 and shorter than length L3. Therefore, the entire end portion 2a can be disposed at the end portion 21b of the 1 st housing portion 21. However, the entire end portion 2b cannot be disposed at the end portion 21b of the 1 st housing portion 21. This can prevent the 1 st magnets 2 from being coupled to each other between the 1 st accommodation portions 21 adjacent to each other, and can further widen the range in which the 1 st magnets 2 can move along the side portion 4 a.
In the magnet type plate toy 1, the 1 st magnet 2 is in a quadrangular prism shape. Therefore, the 1 st magnet 2 is coupled to another magnet type plate toy at the end 2b, which is a flat side surface. Therefore, the coupling force can be improved compared to the case where the 1 st magnet 2 has a cylindrical shape and is coupled to another magnet type plate toy at the curved side surface portion.
In the magnet type board toy 1, the 2 nd magnet 3 is accommodated in the 2 nd accommodating portion 22 so as to be movable in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction D1. The 2 nd housing part 22 is disposed separately from the side part 4a and the plurality of 1 st housing parts 21. Therefore, another magnet type board toy can be coupled to a wide range of the upper wall 6 and the bottom wall 7 of the magnet type board toy 1. Further, another magnet type board toy can be moved (slid) along the upper wall 6 or the bottom wall 7 while keeping the other magnet type board toy connected to the upper wall 6 or the bottom wall 7 of the magnet type board toy 1. In this case, the top wall of the other magnet type board toy may be connected to the top wall 6 and the bottom wall 7 of the magnet type board toy 1, the bottom wall of the other magnet type board toy may be connected to the top wall 6 and the bottom wall 7 of the magnet type board toy 1, or the side wall of the other magnet type board toy may be connected to the top wall 6 and the bottom wall 7 of the magnet type board toy 1.
The 2 nd magnet 3 is housed in the 2 nd housing portion 22 so as to be rotatable not only about a rotation axis along the axial direction but also about a rotation axis along the thickness direction D1. Therefore, for example, the other magnet type board toy can be rotated while keeping the edge of the other magnet type board toy connected to the upper wall 6 or the bottom wall 7 of the magnet type board toy 1. Therefore, a more versatile connection method can be obtained.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view for explaining a method of coupling the magnet type plate toy. In fig. 5, the groove 4b is not shown. As shown in fig. 5, a plurality of (here, 3) magnet type board toys 1 are connected to each other. According to the magnet type plate toy 1, not only the side portion 4a but also another magnet type plate toy 1 can be connected to any position of the upper wall 6 and the bottom wall 7.
In the magnet type board toy 1, even when the magnet of another magnet type board toy is fixed to a predetermined position of the board member, the 1 st magnet 2 or the 2 nd magnet 3 rotates in accordance with the orientation of the magnet of the other magnet type board toy. Therefore, the magnet type board toy 1 can be coupled to another magnet type board toy without being repelled.
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may be modified or otherwise applied within the scope not changing the gist of the claims.
The magnet type plate toy 1 may have at least 2 or more of the 1 st magnet 2 and the 1 st housing part 21. The magnet type board toy 1 may not have the 2 nd storage part 22. The number and size of the 1 st housing part 21 and the 2 nd housing part 22 can be appropriately adjusted according to the shape of the plate member 4. At least either one of the length L1 and the length L4 may be longer than or equal to the length L2 and shorter than the length L3. The other of length L1 and length L4 may be shorter than length L2, or may be greater than or equal to length L3.
The 1 st magnet 2 and the 2 nd magnet 3 may have a cylindrical shape, a triangular prism shape, or the like. The 1 st magnet 2 and the 2 nd magnet 3 may also comprise different materials from each other. The size and magnetic force of the 1 st magnet 2 may be equal to those of the 2 nd magnet 3. The size and magnetic force of the 1 st magnet 2 may be larger than those of the 2 nd magnet 3. The 2 nd magnet 3 may not have a columnar shape. The 2 nd magnet 3 may have a disc shape, for example. The magnetization direction of the 2 nd magnet 3 may coincide with the axial direction.
