Description

Assembled toy

Technical Field

The present utility model relates to an assembled toy capable of forming a three-dimensional shape such as a regular/semi-regular polyhedron by connecting a plurality of blocks formed in a three-dimensional shape with a connecting rod, and a block used for the assembled toy.

Background

A portion of the regular/semi-regular polyhedron exhibits a naturally occurring shape, with natural rationality or mystery hidden. Since these polyhedra exhibit natural laws, crystallography specialists or mathematical specialists study them over the years. In addition, a fan of a polyhedron or the like is attracted to its incredibility or mystery to conduct research alone.

These studies were essentially performed by adult specialists. In addition, in order to explain the polyhedron or the geometric relationship of the polyhedrons to each other, a highly difficult geometric knowledge is used. Therefore, it is difficult for children such as pupils to generate interest. However, the regular/semi-regular polyhedron has an incredibility or interest as a polyhedron, and thus is originally curiosity that can drive children. Therefore, such a polyhedron is suitable for use as a teaching material that children are interested in and learn autonomously.

In general, a regular polyhedron or a semi-regular polyhedron is one of a polyhedron represented by a plane and a polyhedron represented by points or lines on a paper surface. However, it is difficult to intuitively understand the stereoscopic shape. Accordingly, the applicant of the present application conceived an assembled toy in which a polyhedron is represented by lattice points and lines connecting the lattice points, and thus a three-dimensional shape is formed by making the lattice points block bodies, the lines connecting rods, and connecting a plurality of block bodies with the connecting rods.

Conventionally, there is a toy in which a plurality of blocks are connected by a connecting rod, and the toy is described in patent document 1. Further, as a structure in which a plurality of blocks are connected by a connecting rod, there is a molecular model exemplified in patent document 2.

Disclosure of Invention

Patent document 1 discloses a toy in which blocks are connected by connecting rods, but the toy does not have a geometric three-dimensional shape. In addition, the molecular model represents a body-centered structure or a face-centered structure by lattice points and lines, but it does not exhibit a polyhedron.

In order to represent a polyhedron by blocks and connecting rods, it is necessary to extend connecting rods having different lengths from 1 block toward each other. The polyhedron can be formed by inserting the connecting rods into the holes provided on each surface of the block, but in order to complete the polyhedron, it is necessary to accurately insert a plurality of connecting rods into the block. Therefore, it is desirable to easily understand the relationship between the orientation of each face of the block and the connecting rod to be inserted.

The present utility model has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a block and an assembled toy in which, in a structure in which a connecting rod can be inserted into a block having a three-dimensional shape, a relationship between the orientation of each face required for expressing a polyhedron and the length of the connecting rod can be easily grasped, and assembly is facilitated, whereby even a child can learn the geometric relationship between the polyhedrons.

Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The assembled toy of the present embodiment includes a plurality of blocks 10 and connecting rods 20, and the plurality of blocks 10 are connected by the connecting rods 20, whereby a three-dimensional shape having the blocks 10 as lattice points can be formed.

Fig. 1 shows a front view (fig. 1 (a)), a top view (fig. 1 (b)), and a left view (fig. 1 (c)) of the block 10. The block 10 has a twenty-hexahedral shape, and each surface thereof is formed with a hole 14. As shown in fig. 1, the front, top and left views of the block 10 are the same shape. In addition, the rear view, bottom view, and right view, which are not shown in the drawings, are also the same shape.

The block 10 has a small rhombic half-cube shape. Of the faces of the block 10, the face in the triaxial direction perpendicular to each other is referred to as the 1 st face 11 (1 st face). The 1 st face 11 faces both the positive and negative sides in the triaxial direction, and thus 1 block 10 has 6 1 st faces 11. Further, the surface adjacent to the 2 st surface 11, which is sandwiched between the 2 st surfaces 11 at an angle of 45 ° with respect to each of the 2 st surfaces 11, is referred to as a 2 nd surface 12 (2 nd surface). 1 block 10 has 12 2 nd faces 12. The 8 triangular faces surrounded by the 1 st face 11 and the 2 nd face 12 of each face of the block 10 are referred to as 3 rd face 13 (3 rd face). When the block 10 is arranged at a lattice point of the cubic lattice, the 1 st plane 11 faces the direction in which the lattice line extends, the 2 nd plane 12 faces the direction of the face center of the cubic lattice, and the 3 rd plane 13 faces the direction of the body center of the cubic lattice.

The hole portions 14 formed on each surface of the block 10 are all circular and have the same diameter. In addition, the hole 14 has a sufficient depth for inserting and fixing a connecting rod 20 to be described later. The hole 14 may communicate with the hole 14 on the opposite surface.

The 1 st face 11, the 2 nd face 12, and the 3 rd face 13 each have a different pattern in a combination of 2 or more form elements. The form elements forming the pattern include shapes, patterns, and colors, and specifically include, for example, an outline shape of a surface, a surface shape of a portion other than the hole portion 14 in the surface, a color applied to the surface, a display in the surface such as a mark, and the like. In the block 10 according to the present embodiment, the form of each surface is formed by a combination of the form elements of the external shape of the surface and the form elements of the surface shape of the surface.

In the present embodiment, the 1 st surface 11 has a square outer shape, and has a concave portion 15 around the hole portion 14. Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view near the surface of the 1 st face 11. As shown in the figure, the surface of the 1 st surface 11 is hollowed out around the hole 14, and a concave portion 15 is formed. The outer edge of the recess 15 is formed concentrically with the hole 14. Thus, the 1 st face 11 has a pattern in which a double circle is formed in the center portion of a square.

The 2 nd surface 12 has a square outer shape, and the hole 14 is flat except for the square, so that a single circle is formed at the center of the square. The 3 rd surface 13 has a regular triangle outer shape, and the hole 14 is flat except for the hole, so that a single circle is formed at the center of the regular triangle.

In addition, the surface patterns may be formed by adding the surface colors as form elements, and coloring the 1 st surface 11, the 2 nd surface 12, and the 3 rd surface 13 into different colors, in addition to the surface shape and the surface shape. For example, the 1 st surface 11 can be colored blue, the 2 nd surface 12 can be colored red, and the 3 rd surface 13 can be colored yellow. It is needless to say that the coloring may be other colors. The combination of the form elements of the 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd surfaces 11, 12 and 13 may be a combination other than the example of the present embodiment.

In this way, the 1 st surface 11, the 2 nd surface 12, and the 3 rd surface 13 have different patterns in combinations of 2 or more form elements, and thus the user can clearly recognize which surface each surface corresponds to. In particular, since 3 types of surfaces are recognized by a pattern formed by a combination of 2 or more form elements, the types of the form elements can be reduced as compared with the case of recognizing only 1 form element, for example, only by color, and the recognition can be easily performed. In addition, a form factor determined by the geometric relationship of the block, such as the shape of the surface, can also be used as a form factor for identification.

Fig. 3 shows a front view of the connecting rod 20. The connecting rod 20 has a rod-shaped rod body 21, and insertion portions 22 each having a slit portion 22a formed at both end portions thereof. The insertion portion 22 can be inserted into the hole portion 14 of the block 10. By forming the slit portion 22a in the insertion portion 22, the insertion portion 22 can be easily inserted into the hole portion 14.

As shown in fig. 3, as the connecting rod 20, a 1 st connecting rod 23, a 2 nd connecting rod 24, and a 3 rd connecting rod 25 having different lengths are prepared, respectively. The 1 st connecting rod 23, the 2 nd connecting rod 24 and the 3 rd connecting rod 25 are common in that they have the same diameter and have the insertion portions 22 at both ends, and only the entire lengths thereof are different. Since the hole portions 14 of the block 10 have the same diameter, the diameters of the connecting rods 20 can be made the same regardless of the connecting rods 20, and therefore, the 1 st connecting rod 23, the 2 nd connecting rod 24, and the 3 rd connecting rod 25 can be formed by cutting the common material. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

The 2 nd link bar 24 has a length as follows: when the insertion portions 22 at both ends are inserted into the block 10, the distance between the centers of the block 10 is a square root multiple of 2 with respect to the distance between the centers in the case of the 1 st connecting rod 23. The 3 rd connecting rod 25 has the following length: when the insertion portions 22 at both ends are inserted into the block 10, the distance between the centers of the block 10 is a square root multiple of 3 with respect to the distance between the centers in the case of the 1 st connecting rod 23.

The 1 st connecting rod 23 is inserted into the 1 st surface 11 of the surfaces of the block 10. The 2 nd joining rod 24 is inserted into the 2 nd face 12 of the faces of the block 10. The 3 rd connecting rod 25 is inserted into the 3 rd surface 13 of the surfaces of the block 10. As described above, by inserting the connecting rods 20 into the blocks 10 to connect the blocks 10 to each other, various polyhedrons described later can be formed. At this time, the 1 st surface 11, the 2 nd surface 12, and the 3 rd surface 13 of the block 10 have different forms as described above, and on the other hand, the 1 st connecting rod 23, the 2 nd connecting rod 24, and the 3 rd connecting rod 25 can be easily identified due to different lengths, so that it is possible to easily determine which surface of the block 10 the connecting rods 20 are inserted.

Next, a three-dimensional shape that can be formed using the assembled toy of the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which a regular hexahedron is formed by the block 10 and the connecting rod 20. Since the 1 st surfaces 11 of the block 10 are oriented in the three axial directions orthogonal to each other, the 1 st surfaces 11 can be connected to each other by the 1 st connecting rod 23, thereby forming a regular hexahedron as shown in fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 4, the assembled toy of the present embodiment has a three-dimensional shape in which the blocks 10 are positioned at lattice points and are connected by connecting rods 20, and therefore, it is convenient to use lattice drawings for representation. Fig. 5 shows a trellis diagram as a guide when forming a stereoscopic shape. In the lattice diagram, lattice points are depicted in such a manner that the configuration of the cubic lattice is observed from one direction. The lattice points include sharp points 31 (6 points) represented by triangles and obtuse points 32 (8 points) represented by quadrilaterals, except that lattice points are represented by circles. The sharp point 31 and the obtuse point 32 are used when describing a silver diamond dodecahedron.

Fig. 6 shows a diagram depicting a silver diamond dodecahedron in a trellis diagram. As shown in the figure, if the acute angle points 31 and the obtuse angle points 32 of the lattice diagram are connected, a silver rhombus dodecahedron can be depicted. In this figure, the line connecting the lattice points is indicated by a dot-dash line. In the lattice diagram, the 3 rd surface 13 of the block 10 is connected to each other by the 3 rd connecting rod 25. The block 10 is arranged according to the lattice and connected by the 3 rd connecting rod 25, whereby a three-dimensional shape of a silver rhombic dodecahedron can be formed.

Fig. 7 shows a diagram depicting a regular hexahedron in a trellis diagram. If the obtuse points 32 of the trellis diagram are connected, a regular hexahedron can be depicted. The line connecting the blunt points 32 is indicated by a solid line. In the trellis diagram, the solid line indicates that the 1 st faces 11 of the block 10 are connected to each other by the 1 st connecting rod 23. The block 10 is arranged according to the lattice and connected by the 1 st connecting rod 23, whereby the three-dimensional shape of the regular hexahedron shown in fig. 4 can be formed.

Fig. 8 shows a diagram depicting a regular octahedron in a trellis diagram. If the acute angle points 31 of the trellis diagram are connected, an regular octahedron can be depicted. The line connecting the sharp points 31 is indicated by a dashed line. In the trellis diagram, the broken line indicates that the 2 nd faces 12 of the block 10 are connected to each other by the 2 nd connecting rod 24. The block 10 is arranged according to the lattice and connected by the 2 nd connecting rod 24, whereby a three-dimensional shape of a regular octahedron can be formed.

Fig. 9 shows a diagram depicting a cubo-octahedron in a trellis diagram. If the midpoints of adjacent obtuse angle points 32, i.e., the face-centered points (12 points) of a silver rhombohedral dodecahedron, are connected, a cubo-octahedron can be depicted. The block 10 is arranged according to the lattice and connected by the 2 nd connecting rod 24, whereby a cuboctahedral solid shape can be formed. Fig. 10 is a perspective view showing a state in which a cuboctahedron is formed by the block 10 and the connecting rod 20.

Fig. 11 shows a diagram depicting regular tetrahedrons in a trellis diagram. In the trellis diagram, if the diagonal obtuse points 32 are connected, a regular tetrahedron can be depicted. The block 10 is arranged according to the lattice and connected by the 2 nd connecting rod 24, whereby a three-dimensional shape of a regular tetrahedron can be formed.

By sequentially truncated from the silver rhombic dodecahedron shown in fig. 6, other polyhedral shapes can be formed. Fig. 12 shows a graph depicting a regular hexahedron truncated with a silver diamond dodecahedron at 4 obtuse points in the trellis diagram. The block 10 is arranged according to the lattice diagram and connected by the 1 st connecting rod 23 and the 3 rd connecting rod 25, whereby the relationship between the silver rhombus dodecahedron and the regular hexahedron formed by truncated silver rhombus dodecahedron can be understood visually.

Fig. 13 shows a diagram depicting a regular tetrahedron with 3 diagonal vertices truncated to a regular hexahedron in a trellis diagram. The relationship between the regular hexahedron and the regular tetrahedron formed by truncated body can be intuitively understood by arranging the block 10 according to the trellis diagram and connecting the same with the 1 st connecting rod 23 and the 2 nd connecting rod 24.

Fig. 14 shows a diagram depicting a regular tetrahedron with a regular tetrahedron truncated with a useful midpoint in the trellis diagram. The relationship between the regular tetrahedron and the regular octahedron formed by truncated faces of the blocks 10 can be intuitively understood by arranging the blocks according to the trellis and connecting the blocks with the 2 nd connecting rod 24.

Fig. 15 shows the relationship of the polyhedrons described in fig. 12 to 14. In this figure, "dual" refers to a relationship between a solid formed by a graphic having an inner core and a solid formed by connecting the inner cores. As shown in fig. 15, regular hexahedron, regular tetrahedron, regular octahedron, and cuboctahedron are formed by successively truncated based on the silver rhombohedral dodecahedron, and the silver rhombohedral dodecahedron is formed by truncated the cuboctahedron with the inner centers of the respective faces, so these polyhedrons circulate in this relationship. These relationships can be intuitively understood by assembling the assembled toy of the present embodiment.

In order to form these polyhedrons, it is necessary to accurately combine a plurality of blocks 10 and connecting rods 20, and in this case, since the shapes of the respective faces of the blocks 10 are different as described above, it is possible to easily identify which connecting rod 20 is inserted, and therefore, even a child can assemble the polyhedron. Therefore, the assembled toy can be used as an educational toy or teaching material for education of children.

Further, a figure showing a three-dimensional shape that can be formed by the assembled toy will be described. In fig. 6 and the like, the arrangement of the connecting rod 20 in the assembled toy in the lattice drawing in which the three-dimensional lattice shape is drawn is shown by a line, whereby the three-dimensional shape as viewed from one direction is illustrated. In this figure, only the lines indicating the arrangement of the connecting rods 20 in the assembled toy can be described in the shape display sheet 40, and the trellis diagram can be described in the transparent sheet 50, so that a shape display sheet assembly can be formed from the shape display sheet 40 and the transparent sheet 50.

Fig. 16 shows a front view of the shape display sheet 40 showing only a three-dimensional shape obtained by truncating the obtuse angle points of the silver rhombus dodecahedron with 3 obtuse angle points by a line drawing, and fig. 17 shows a front view of the transparent sheet 50. The shape display sheet 40 can be formed of paper or the like. In this way, even if only the shape display sheet 40 is used, the three-dimensional shape formed by the assembled toy can be represented.

Of the lines drawn in the shape display sheet 40, the 1 st connecting rod 23 is indicated by a solid line, the 2 nd connecting rod 24 is indicated by a broken line, and the 3 rd connecting rod 25 is indicated by a chain line. The type of the connecting rod 20 may be represented by a different color instead of a different line type. The line of the shape display sheet 40 differs depending on the type of the connecting rod 20, that is, the orientation of the connecting rod 20 with respect to the block 10, and thus the line drawing of the shape display sheet 40 can be used as a thread when the assembled toy is assembled.

Although the three-dimensional shape can be assembled by the assembled toy based on the line drawing described in the shape display sheet 40, it is somewhat difficult to grasp the arrangement relationship of the connecting rod 20 in the three-dimensional space by only the shape display sheet 40. Therefore, the stereoscopic shape is assembled only by the display of the shape display sheet 40, which can be said to be skilled.

The transparent sheet 50 is formed by drawing a grid pattern shown in fig. 5 on a transparent sheet, and the grid pattern is set to a proportional size corresponding to the line drawing of the shape display sheet 40. Fig. 18 shows a diagram of a state in which the transparent sheet 50 on which the lattice diagram of fig. 17 is drawn overlaps with the shape display sheet 40 of fig. 16. By superimposing the transparent sheet 50 on the shape display sheet 40, the line drawing drawn on the shape display sheet 40 can be observed so as to be superimposed on the lattice diagram, and it is possible to easily grasp how the block 10 and the connecting rod 20 of the assembled toy are arranged three-dimensionally. Therefore, the stereoscopic shape is assembled based on the display in which the transparent sheet 50 and the shape display sheet 40 are superimposed, which can be said to be directed to a beginner.

In this way, the three-dimensional shape of the assembled toy is divided into the shape display sheet 40 representing only the shape and the transparent sheet 50 representing the trellis diagram, and thus the three-dimensional shape can be used in a differentiated manner according to the proficiency of the user. In addition, in the case of using the assembled toy for education, the following usage method can be adopted: an attempt is first made to assemble only the shape display sheet 40, and if stuck, the transparent sheet 50 is properly overlapped with the shape display sheet 40.

The embodiments of the present utility model have been described above, but the application of the present utility model is not limited to the embodiments, and various applications can be made within the scope of the technical ideas thereof. For example, in the present embodiment, the block 10 is a twenty-hexahedral body having the 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd surfaces 11, 12, but may be another kind of polyhedron having at least the 1 st and 2 nd surfaces.

The block 10 is not limited to a polyhedron, and may be another solid such as a sphere. In this case, the hole 14 and the peripheral surface portion thereof are formed to face in the same direction as the block 10 of fig. 1. In the sphere, the 1 st surface 11, the 2 nd surface 12, and the 3 rd surface 13 of the block 10 are not present, and therefore the pattern of the peripheral surface portion of the hole 14 is changed depending on the connecting rod 20 to be inserted. The form factor of the pattern of the peripheral surface portion of the hole 14 includes the surface shape, color, and pattern of the block 10. The pattern of the peripheral surface portion of the hole 14 is formed by combining 2 or more of these form elements. The patterns of the surrounding faces are set to be different from each other in the hole 14 into which the 1 st connecting rod 23 is inserted, the hole 14 into which the 2 nd connecting rod 24 is inserted, and the hole 14 into which the 3 rd connecting rod 25 is inserted.

The 1 st connecting rod 23, the 2 nd connecting rod 24, and the 3 rd connecting rod 25 may be identified by the form factor of the connecting rod 20. For example, the following modes are used for the 1 st connecting rod 23, the 2 nd connecting rod 24, and the 3 rd connecting rod 25: coloring into different colors, or applying different patterns, or making combinations of colors and patterns different from each other, or the like. In this case, by setting the pattern of the connecting rod 20 and the pattern of the surface of the block 10 into which it is inserted to be the same, for example, the same color, the connecting rod 20 to be inserted into each hole 14 of the block 10 can be more easily recognized.
