SPECIFICATION
Block toy
This invention relates to a block toy.
Generally, a block toy comprises a plurality of blocks each provided with projection(s) and socket(s). The blocks can be assembled together to define the shape of airplane, ship, automobile, or the like with insertion of projections of one block into sockets of another block.
As examples of such kinds of toys, a few of them
have been disclosed in the Japanese Design Registration No. 299616, Japanese Design Registration No.299616-1 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open
No. Sho 56-152699; and a block of the second disclosure is shown in Figures 34 and 35.A block of this toy is composed of two hollow hexagonal pillars 51 (or sockets) and joined to each other at side walls thereof, and of two circular pillars 52 (projections) projecting integrally from each of the hollow hexagonal pillars 51; the external and internal crosssectional shapes of said hollow hexagonal pillar 51 are each a compound hexagon 53 formed of a half of regular octagon, as shown in the upper half of the drawing, and a half of a square, as shown in the lower half of the drawing; and the outer diameter of said circular pillar 52 is sized so as to permit said pillar 52 to snugly fit into the hexagonal pillar 51 of another block.
In the first disclosure, the cross-sectional shape of the hollow hexagonal pillar (socket) to receive the block shown in the above two drawings is substituted by a compound closed shape formed of a semi-circle, instead of a semi-octagon, and a semisquare.
In the third disclosure, in addition to first blocks as shown in the above two drawings, second blocks having hollow hexagonal pillars are provided, each pillar being fixed to the back wall of the hollow hexagonal pillar of the first block so that an opening of said pillar may be directed perpendicularly sidewards with respect to the first block, whereby blocks can be added to not only vertically but also horizontally.
In a first aspect, the invention provides a block toy comprising in combination (i x j)-piece type large blocks (i and j representing natural numbers) composed of (i x j) pieces of large unit blocks, each comprising a large hollow square pillar having a length e at the outer bottom side, a height e, and a wall thickness t and a large circular pillar part projecting integrally from the top surface of said large hollow square pillar and having a diameter (e - 2t) and a height h1 well - t), said large unit blocks being joined together at abutting side walls of said large hollow square pillars, where i and j are fixed at arbitrary numbers; and (i x j)-piece type small connecting blocks composed of (i x j) pieces of small connecting unit blocks, each comprising a mediumsized hollow square pillar having a length e at the outer bottom side, a height eel2, and a wall thickness t and a circular-pillar part containing four small circular pillars each having a diameter (4 - 4t)/2 and a height h2 ( < 4/2 - t) and being positioned for making contact with two adjoining inner wall surfaces of the large or medium-sized hollow square pillar of another block, said small connecting unit blocks being joined together at abutting side walls of said medium-sized hollow square pillars, where i and j are fixed at arbitrary numbers.
Preferred features of the first aspect of the invention are set forth in claims 2 - 4.
In a second aspect, the invention provides a block toy comprising (i x j)-piece type large blocks ( i and j representing natural numbers) composed of (i x j) pieces of large unit blocks, each comprising a large hollow square pillar having a length e at the outer bottom side, a height e, and a wall thickness t, and a circular pillar part projecting integrally from the top surface of said large hollow square pillar and having a diameter (e - 2t) and a height ( < eX2 - 2), said large unit blocks being joined together at abutting side walls of said large hollow square pillars, where and j are fixed at arbitrary numbers.
In a third aspect, the invention provides a block toy comprising (i x j)-piece type small connecting blocks (i and j representing natural numbers) composed of (i x j) pieces of small connecting unit blocks, each comprising a medium-sized hollow square pillar part having a length e at the outer bottom side, a height ei2, a wall thickness t, and a circular-pillar part containing four small circular pillars, each having a diameter (e - 4t)/2 and a height h2 ( < e/2 - t) and being disposed for making contact with two adjoining inner side walls of the medium-sized hollow square pillar of another block, projecting integrally from the top surface of said square pillar part, said connecting unit blocks being joined together at abutting side walls of said medium-sized hollow square pillars, where i and j are fixed at arbitrary numbers.

In Figures 16 through 19, a large unit block 4 comprises a large hollow square pillar 7 having the length e at the outer bottom side, the height e, and the wall thickness t, and a large circular pillar part 8 having the diameter (e - 2t), the height h ( < C/2 - and the wall thickness t which is projectionally formed on the top surface of said large hollow square pillar 7 and blindly closed at the top thereof.
A quarter-circular pillar-like protrusion 9a is formed in each of four inside corners of said large hollow square pillar as well as a circular-pillar receiving part 10a on each of the central parts of four inner wall surfaces 7a of said large hollow square pillar 7 so as to be in surface-contact with said large circular pillar part 8.
A large block 1 of ( 2 x 3)-piece type as shown in
Figures 1 through 5 is composed of said large unit blocks 4 arranged in a rectangular (2 x 3)-piece pattern and, therefore, an (i x j)-piece type large block can be composed by joining together the side walls of adjoining large hollow square pillars 7.
In Figures 20 through 23, a small connecting unit block 5 comprises a medium-sized hollow square pillar 11 having the length e at the outer bottom side, the height e/2, and the wall thickness t, and a small circular-pillar part containing small circular pillars, each having the diameter ( - 4t)/2, the height eel2, and the wall thickness t which is formed projectionally and integrally on the top surface of said medium-sized hollow square pillar 11 and blindly closed at the top thereof.A quarter-circular pillar-like protrusion 9a is formed in each of four inside corners of said medium-sized hollow square pillar 11, and said four small circular pillars 12 are provided on the top surface of said medium-sized square pillar 11 symmetrically with respect to the axis of said square pillar so that each of said four pillars 12 may be in contact with two adjoining inner wall surfaces 1 la of said large or medium-sized square pillar 7 or 11, respectively, and in point-contact with said quartercircular pillar-like protrusion 9a or 9b. A circularpillar receiving part 11 b is formed on the central part of each of four inner wall surfaces 11a ofthe medium-sized hollow square pillar 11 so as to be in surface-contact with said large circular pillar 8.
A small connecting block 2 of (1 x 2)-piece type as shown in Figures 6 through 10 is composed of said small connecting unit blocks 5 arranged in a rectangular ( x 2)-piece pattern and joined together at abutting side walls of the medium-sized hollow square pillars 11. Similarly, an arrangement of these small connecting unit blocks 5 in a rectangular (i x j)-piece pattern and joining thereof at abutting side walls thereof can compose a small connecting block of (1 x j)-piece type.
Further, in Figures 24 through 27, a small unit block 6 is composed of a small hollow square pillar 13 having the length eX2 at the outer bottom side, the height ei2, and the wall thickness t, and a small circular pillar 12 which is entirely the same in shape as that 12 of said small connecting block 5 and formed projectionally and integrally on the top surface of said small hollow square pillar 13.
A small block 3 of (2 x 4)-piece type as shown in
Figures 11 through 15 is composed of said small blocks 6 arranged in a rectangular (2 x 4)-piece pattern and joined together at abutting side walls of small hollow square pillars 13. Similarly, an arrangement of these small unit blocks 13 in a rectangular (1 x j)-piece pattern and joining of side walls thereof can compose a small block of (i x j)-piece type. In this case, the (i x j)-piece type small connecting block is entirely the same in shape as the (2i x 2j)-piece type small block when viewed in front, plan, and right side views, where i and j in the (i x j)-piece type small block can be fixed at odd numbers.
Figures 31 and 32 show a base 14 which is to be laid undermost when assembling various kinds of structures by the use of a block toy, and composed of a large number of said large circular pillars 8 arranged in a crisscross pattern on a square or rectangular plate 14a.
Now, a description will be made on methods of joining together various kinds of such blocks as above.
A state of interfitting of blocks as shown in Figure 28 is produced by inserting the large circular pillar 8 of the large block 4 into the large or medium-sized hollow square pillar 7 or 11 of the other large unit block 4 or small connecting unit block 5. Even when the large circular pillar 8 is inserted into the small connecting block 5, the height h of the large circular pillar part 8 is in such relation with the height el2 of the medium-sized hollow square pillar 11 as (h < 4/2 - t) and, therefore, the whole of the large circular pillar part 8 can be fully inserted into the mediumsized hollow square pillar 11.
When the four-small-circular-pillar part 12 of the small connecting unit block 5 or the (2 x 2)-piece type small block (not shown) is inserted into the large hollow or medium-sized square pillar 7 or 11 of the large unit block 4 or the small connecting unit block 5, a state of interfitting of blocks as shown in
Figure 29 is obtained. In this case, small connecting unit blocks 5 can completely joined together on account of such a relation as h/2 < fl2 - t between the height h/2 of the small circular part 12 and that el2 of the medium-sized square pillar 11.
A state of block-interfitting as shown in Figure 30 is obtained from interfitting of the small unit blocks 6 or fitting of the (2 x 2)-piece type small block 6 to the small circular pillar part 12 of the small connecting unit blockS.
The small unit blocks 6, of course, can be interfitted to each other in such manner as shown in Figure 30.
In conclusion, in interfitting three kinds of blocks as described above, joining of the large block and the small block together is possible without limitation regardless of whether the former overlies the latter or vice versa, to say nothing of that of blocks of the same kind, as well as that of the small connecting block and the small block is also possible regardless of positional relation therebetween. However, joining of the large block to the small one only requires the former to be laid above the latter.
Thus, in making up a structure using a block toy according to this invention, the purpose may be fulfilled through such steps that, in the first place, the large blocks or the small connecting blocks are fitted to the base as shown in Figure 31 and then any applicable joining method as described above is employed without limitation for formation of a structure as desired, for example, a model of an animal as shown in Figure 33. In this drawing, the reference numeral 4' indicates the (2 x 2)-piece type large block. As shown by this example, a structure can be enlarged not only within but also beyond the space above the base 14 by optionally selecting numbers for the (i x j)-piece type block, that is, by determining a suitable block size, and by shifting one of two unit blocks to be joined in layer relatively to the other.
It is exceedingly attractive to children that a structure can be diversified into various shapes by the use of a large block having a large circular pillar part 8 and of a small connecting block having a small-circular-pillar part 12 which are capable of interfitting to each other in such a block toy as above. Children, while being infant, can play with only large blocks which are easy to handle and, after growing up, with the use of small connecting blocks or small blocks for assembling complex structure or with the combined use of large and small blocks for intricate structure. Thus, this block toy is long-lived in availability in the company of growth of children and greatly helpful to mental training.
In a block toy according to the present invention, a large hollow square pillar of the large block is a cube in appearance having the side length e, a mediumsized hollow square pillar of the small connecting block is equal to a half of said large square pillar in height only, and a small block is dimensionally a half of a large block and similar thereto in shape, the above three kinds of blocks being simple but beautiful in external shape. In addition, simplicity and clarity in dimensional relation as described above permit infant children in age of one or two years to join blocks together without difficulty.
In a block toy according to the present invention, as apparent from the state of interfitting of blocks as shown in Figure 28, the large circular pillar part 8 is in surface-contact with four circular-pillar receiving parts 10a or 10b and the contact area therebetween is not so large as that between circles and not so small as that between a circle and straight line only, whereby appropriate intensity in interfitting of blocks is produced so as to enable easy fitting and detaching of block but not permit easy disengagement.
Also, as shown in Figure 29, since each of four small cicular pillars 12 is in contact with two inner wall surfaces of the square pillar 7 or 11 as well as with a quarter-circular pillar-like protrusions 9a and said four pillars 12 formed integrally on the top surface of the square pillar 7 or 11 are incapable of changing relative positions thereof, an appropriate interfitting is obtained between blocks 5 and 4, or between 4 and 4.
The present invention may further apply to not only a block toy composed of a complete set of large blocks, small connecting ones, and small ones but also the other one composed of a set of large blocks and small connecting ones only or a set of either of said two, thereby permitting, in any of the above cases, interfitting of blocks of different kinds as well as of the same kind, and providing a block toy simple in structure but beautiful in external shape with appropriate intensity in block-interfitting, attractive to children, and effective for mental training.
Although the present invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, the scope of the present invention being limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
