Abstract

The present invention relates to a connection device for connecting a block assembly type toy set and an assembly type toy set to assemble rods and connectors including a magnetic body, and more specifically, to a connection device in which a magnetic body is embedded in an existing rod and connector, to enable a user to connect a toy set with creativeness. Since a magnetic body is embedded in a rod and connector structure among parts of an existing assembly set, a creative, simple and useful approach method to facilitate attachment/detachment between the connector and the rod without grip parts of the rod and the connector. Thereby, a structure can be modified with small effort when combination between rod and connector elements of a Knex assembly type set. Moreover, more creative activity than an existing Knex assembly set can be induced. According to the present invention, the toy set comprises: a rod having a magnetic body inside; and a connector having a magnetic body to be attached to and detached from a combination part of the rod.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a rod and connector assembled toy set having a built-

The present invention relates to a connecting device for connecting a block type assembled toy set and a rod and connector type assembled toy set having a built-in magnetic body. And more particularly to an invention of a rod and connector connecting apparatus having a magnetic substance built therein. By incorporating a magnetic body inside the rod and connector among the parts of the prefabricated set, it is possible to deform the structure with a small amount of force when coupling between the connector and the rod. In addition, it can induce a variety of creative activities than the conventional Kenex prefabricated set.

      A multi-part assembled toy set allows for a widespread representation of imagination in assembling structures and mechanisms from the individual components of the assembled toy set.

      Among the multiple set toys, Kenex assembled toys have significant strength and robustness. It is made up of individual rods and connector elements designed for unique side snap-in assembly as a way to enable the assembly of large and complex structures.

      The Kenex assembled toy set is described in Glickman U.S. Patent Nos. 5,061,219, 5,137,486, 5,199,919 and 5,350,331, and Korean Patent No. 10-0957884. Herein, the embodiments of the present invention are incorporated by reference.

The Kenex assembled toy set is a multi-piece toy combined with blocks, rods, and connectors. For a sophisticated and stable connector prefabricated toy set, each component can be made of a special dimension that allows multiple attachment points to be constructed to form a composite hybrid structure.

However, the cylindrical rod could perform only the function of connecting the connector and the block. The rod alone can not be combined, and it has to be connected via a connector. The joint structure of the rod and the connector has a limitation in making a three-dimensional structure, and it has to be combined through a block type or other parts. Limited features could not efficiently utilize the parts of the prefabricated toy, and could not be combined into more diverse shapes.

Recognizing that both the above-described rod and connector type assembled set and block type assembled set have their respective advantages, the present invention provides a novel and simple and useful approach when combining prefabricated sets. The magnetic rod can be embedded in the center of the cylindrical rod-shaped rod and the connector to induce various coupling between the connector and the rod. It is possible to make a variety of creative toy sets more than the existing assembly form, and it stimulates the spatial perception of the children to use, which can induce more creative activity than conventional toys.

A multi-piece toys set suitable for the construction of hybrid structures including rod and connector type substructures combined with a block type substructure, comprising a cylindrical body portion for connecting a connector type and a block type, And a magnetic body is built in the center of the one surface of the coupling part. The diameter of the circular magnetic body built in the rod and the connector is smaller than the diameter of the body, and the length is formed as the length of the joint. Rod projections are formed on one side surface of the conventional rod groove. And the groove of the other rod is not formed with a projection other than the frictional engagement by the rod projection, even if the groove and the groove of the other rod are formed by the magnetic substance built in the rod and the connector So that the connection between the connector and the rod of the more various structures is possible.

The present invention seeks to provide a novel and simple and useful approach between the connector and the rod, the rod and the rod by improving the structure of the rod among the parts of the prefabricated set.

As such, the present invention can create a more varied and stable type of structure upon coupling between the rod and connector elements of the Kenex assembled set. It can induce more creative activity than existing Kenex prefabricated set.
