Description

  The present invention relates to a maze playground equipment. In particular, the present invention relates to an assembly-type maze play equipment that is not a fixed type and can be easily recombined. The method of using the labyrinth play equipment of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, the purpose is to raise awareness of disaster prevention such as learning how to treat children at the time of disaster by regarding the assembled labyrinth as a passage at the time of disaster. It is possible to play as an experiential maze.

  The maze facility is generally a play facility that passes from the maze entrance to the maze exit. On the way from the maze entrance to the maze exit, there is a passage surrounded by walls and the like that humans can pass through, and the way is complicatedly divided by a partition plate etc., and there is a dead end on the way. A branch point is provided, and you can enjoy the process of trial and error from the maze entrance to the maze exit. There are small mazes in parks and large mazes called giant mazes in amusement parks.

  If it is a conventional fixed-type maze, the correct answer branch of the path selection in the middle path is fixed each time, and if it is executed multiple times, it learns the distinction between the passage through which the child can pass and the dead end passage. Lost its function as a labyrinth, and the number of times it was used again by children was limited. Therefore, there is a need for an assembly-type maze that can easily change the course of the maze.

There are few assembly-type mazes that are large enough for children to pass through. For example, there is known a maze formed by connecting partition plates made of urethane home material with hook-and-loop fasteners (Patent Document 1).
The reason why urethane home is used as the material of the partition plate in Patent Document 1 is that the partition plate and the wall surface are so-called “wall surface” that obstructs the front field of view in order to make it difficult to decode the maze. As a matter of fact, it was chosen as a material with a low specific gravity to reduce the overall weight, and since the connection means is a relatively weak connection means called a hook-and-loop fastener, a material with a low specific gravity to reduce the weight of the partition plate It is in the point chosen as.
In particular, Patent Document 1 discloses a hook-and-loop fastener as a method of connecting a partition plate made of urethane home material, but does not disclose any other connection method.

Further, for example, as a material for the partition plate, an assembly-type maze is known in which a biodegradable foam having biodegradable fibers inside is used instead of urethane home, and a detachable engagement member is engaged ( Patent Document 2).
In Patent Document 2, it is necessary to spread the lower mat 3 over the entire area of the maze. A lower column 4 is laid under the lower mat 3 and a connection column 2 is erected thereon. Further, the partition plate 1 is slid into a groove 21 provided in the vertical direction on the side surface of the connecting column 2.
The material of the partition plate 1 is not particularly limited, but in order to make it difficult to decipher the maze, the partition plate and the wall surface become so-called “wall surface” that obstructs the front field of view. It is considered to be selected as a material with a low specific gravity in order to reduce the overall weight.
In particular, Patent Document 2 discloses a method of sliding and fitting a partition plate in a groove provided in a vertical direction, but does not disclose other connection methods.

JP 2001-046755 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-218481

However, the maze described in Patent Document 1 has the following problems.
The first problem is that the structural strength of the maze is too weak. In the maze described in Patent Document 1, the material called urethane home is certainly light, and it can be said that the assembly and recombination of the partition plate are relatively easy, but its connection method is a hook-and-loop fastener, and its connection strength is also weak, There may be a problem that the hook-and-loop fastener may be inadvertently removed while the actual child is using the maze.
The second problem is that it is easy for children to fall. In the maze described in Patent Document 1, in order to make it difficult to predict a midway path, like a normal maze, the partition plate is formed in a wall shape so that the other side cannot be seen, so that the volume of the partition plate increases. Light materials are selected and the overall structural strength of the maze is weak. It can be evaluated that the maze is not a fixed type but a movable type that moves the maze itself so that it will not cause injury even if a child collides with the partition plate during play, but it touched the partition plate in the maze or touched it a little It can be said that the maze is broken even at a certain level.

Further, the maze described in Patent Document 2 has the following problems.
The first problem is that the assembly and reassembly of the maze is a difficult task.
In the assembly type maze shown in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to lay the lower mat 3 over the entire area of the maze. However, if the maze is large enough for the child to pass through the passage, the lower mat 3 is placed over the entire area. It is hard to spread. Instead of spreading a single sheet, it is necessary to use a large number of the lower mats 3 in order to make the lower pillars 4 fine. Therefore, it is necessary to lay out the lower mats 3 of that number. Next, it is necessary to lay down the lower pillars 4 on the lower mats 3 one by one, which is extremely complicated and laborious. Furthermore, it is necessary to insert the connection column 2 on the lower column 4, and then, it is necessary to slide the partition plate 1 into the groove 21 on the side surface of the connection column 2. Thus, assembly is extremely complicated and laborious.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an assembly-type labyrinth play equipment that can easily assemble / recombine a partition plate of a labyrinth in order to increase work efficiency. In order to increase safety, the maze is not a fixed type, the partition plate is light and the maze itself moves when the child collides, but the connection strength between the partition plates is increased to some extent, The purpose of the present invention is to provide a maze that is strong enough to prevent the maze from collapsing when the child touches or touches the partition plate.

  In order to achieve the above object, the assembly-type maze playground equipment of the present invention is an experience-type assembly-type maze playground equipment provided with a plurality of partition plates and a connector that connects the adjacent partition plates. The partition plate includes at least two column bodies, and the connector includes a hole into which the column body of one of the adjacent partition plates and the column body of the other partition plate can be inserted, and the connection The partition plates adjacent to each other are connected by fitting one of the column bodies adjacent to the hole of the child and the other column body.

With the above configuration, using a plurality of partition plates and connectors, the partition plates to be connected are assembled adjacent to each other, and the column bodies of one partition plate and the column bodies of the other partition plate are combined from above. By simply inserting the connector through the two column bodies, the adjacent column bodies can be fitted to each other and the connector can be easily and firmly tightened.
By arranging a plurality of partition plates freely and connecting them one after another, mazes of various patterns can be assembled. If you increase the number of dividers, the assembly method is infinite.

Here, in the configuration described above, a tapered surface that extends downward is provided at least partially on at least one surface of the outer peripheral surface of the column that contacts the inner periphery of the connector, and is adjacent to the hole of the connector. When the one column body and the other column body are fitted, it is preferable that the tapered surface comes into contact with the inner surface of the hole of the connector and stops.
Further, in the above configuration, the length of the circumference surrounding the two adjacent column bodies inserted into the connector is smaller than the inner periphery of the connector at the upper end surface of the column body, and the taper The height of the lower end portion of the surface is preferably larger than the inner circumference of the connector.
Further, in the configuration of the labyrinth play equipment described above, the column body is provided at both ends of the partition plate, and the tapered surface is provided on a side surface of the column body facing the inside of the partition plate. It is preferable.

  With the above configuration, using a plurality of partition plates and connectors, the partition plates to be connected are assembled adjacent to each other, and the column bodies of one partition plate and the column bodies of the other partition plate are combined from above. When the connector is inserted into the two column bodies, they are fitted and stopped at the portion where the tapered surface of the column body is provided, and the two partition plates can be tightened easily and firmly.

In addition, if the principle of fitting and tightening the connector with a tapered surface is used, it is possible to flexibly cope with some unevenness and inclination of the ground at the installation location. For example, if there are bumps on the ground of the installation location, the height at which the column bodies of adjacent partition plates are installed will be slightly different, and the positional relationship between adjacent column bodies will be higher in the height direction than the original positional relationship It's off. However, with the principle of fitting and tightening the connector with a taper surface, when the connector is dropped from above, the length of the circle surrounding the adjacent pillars is substantially the same as the inner circumference of the connector. It will stop and fit at the part.
In addition, in the said structure, if the said taper is provided in each two places of the upper part and lower part of the side surface of the said column, the said column will be able to be used top and bottom and usability will improve. That is, when constructing a maze using an assembly-type maze playground equipment, it can be arranged without worrying about the top and bottom of the partition plate, and can be connected one after another using a connector.

  Here, as an example of the combination of the shape of the column and the shape of the connector, there is a combination in which the column is a quadrangular column having the tapered surface in part, and the connector is a rectangular frame.

Preferably, the partition plate has at least one window, and a part of the user's field of view facing the partition plate can be seen through the screen without being blocked.
With the above configuration, children can grasp the surrounding situation well in the maze, and it is not a mere play-type maze that aims to get lost in the path like a conventional maze, but its position in the entire maze. It is possible to provide an experiential learning type assembling-type labyrinth play equipment for the purpose of advancing the path with a purpose while confirming.

According to the assembly-type labyrinth play equipment according to the present invention, a plurality of partition plates and connectors are used to make adjacent partition plates to be connected for assembly, and a column body of one partition plate and a column of the other partition plate. When the connector is inserted into the two pillars from above with the bodies together, it will fit and stop at the tapered part of the pillars, and the two partition plates will be tightened easily and securely. Can do.
The partition plates can be freely combined, the number of partition plates to be combined is not limited, and various combinations are possible, and the number of combinations is infinite.
Further, if the principle of tightening the connector with the tapered surface of the column body is used, it is possible to flexibly cope with some unevenness and inclination of the ground at the installation location.
Also, if the taper is provided at two locations, the upper part and the lower part of the side surface of the pillar body, the pillar body can be used freely and the usability is improved.
Further, according to the assembly type maze playground equipment according to the present invention, by providing a window in the partition plate, the child can grasp the surrounding situation well in the maze, and the inside of the path like the conventional maze. It is not a mere play-type maze that aims to get lost, but it can be an experiential learning-type maze that aims to advance in the path with the purpose while confirming its position in the entire maze. For example, it can be used as a maze that can be used for experiential disaster prevention learning for the purpose of evacuation guidance from places where there are obstacles or places that cannot be passed due to earthquakes.

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an assembled maze play apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. The present invention is not limited to these examples.

Hereinafter, a configuration example of an experience-type assembly-type maze play machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a configuration example of an experience-type assembly-type maze play apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a front view, a side view, and a plan view of the partition plate 10. FIG. 1B is a front view, a side view, and a plan view of the connector 20.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a state in which two adjacent partition plates 10 a and 10 b are connected by the connector 20.
As shown in FIG. 1, the assembly-type labyrinth play equipment 100 has a structure including a partition plate 10 and a connector 20.

  In this configuration example, the partition plate 10 is formed of a wooden plate material provided with column bodies 11, column bodies 12, and windows 13 at both ends. In this configuration, the whole is a ladder type, and the partition plate is such that the ends of the column 11 and the column 12 protrude at both ends.

The columnar body 11 and the columnar body 12 are square columns having a tapered surface 14 in at least a part of at least one side surface. In this example, the tapered surface 14 is provided on a surface facing the inside of the partition plate 10 among the side surfaces of the column body 11 and the column body 12. In FIG. 1, the tapered surface 14 is provided on the surface facing the inner side of the partition plate 10, but is not limited and may be another surface. Further, in this configuration example, a column portion having no taper is extended above the tapered surface 14, but it is not limited whether such a column portion is provided.
As will be described later, the surface on which the tapered surface 14 is provided is a portion that contacts the inner periphery of the hole 22 of the connector 20 when the connector 20 is fitted.
Moreover, in this structural example, the taper surface 14 is provided in two places, the upper part and the lower part of the side surface of the column body, and the top and bottom are free. In this way, by providing the tapered surface 14 at the upper part and the lower part, respectively, the column body can be freely mounted in the way of standing the partition plate 10, and it is arranged without considering the ceiling when assembling the maze. It is very convenient. Of course, it is needless to say that even a partition plate having a configuration in which only one tapered surface 14 is provided on the side surface of the column body can be applied if it is arranged considering the top and bottom.

  The window 13 is an opening provided on the surface of the partition plate 10. As will be described later, when a child playing in the maze play equipment 100 faces the partition plate 10, the view is not blocked through the window 13. The other side is visible. Since the partition plate 10 is provided with the window 13, the child can grasp the surrounding situation with the maze play apparatus 100, and the purpose is to advance the inside of the path with the purpose while checking his / her position in the entire maze play apparatus 100. Can be a maze of experiential learning type.

In this configuration example, the connector 20 is formed of a metal fitting having a rectangular frame 21 and a hole 22. Adjacent partition plates 10 are connected by this connector 20.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when connecting the adjacent partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10b, the hole 22 of a connector is the column (for example, column 12a) of the partition plate 10a, and the column of the other partition plate 10b. It becomes a space in which a body (for example, the column 11b) can be inserted.
The reinforcing fastener 21 is a jig for reinforcing and fastening the column body 11 and the column body 12 downward, and may be, for example, a plastic fastening band or a rubber band. The plastic fastening band can be easily fastened simply by bundling and fastening the objects to be fastened, and is preferably one that can be repeatedly fastened and relaxed so that it can be used repeatedly. In other words, a maze can be easily assembled, disassembled, and reassembled if it can be attached and detached many times. Even if it is a fastening band that cannot be relaxed once fastened, but can be removed by cutting it (for example, a plastic fastening band that is used when bundling PC cables, etc.), the convenience is reduced. It is possible to do.

Next, the relationship between the size of the column 11 and the column 12 of the partition plate 10, the size of the hole 22 of the connector 20, and the height of the tapered surface 14 will be described.
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the size of the column body 11 and the column body 12 of the partition plate 10, the size of the hole 22 of the connector 20, and the height of the tapered surface 14. Compared with FIG. 2, the corresponding part is shown enlarged.

On the right side of FIG. 3 (a), the AA line cross section at the height of the upper end surface of the pillars 11b and 12a in FIG. 3 (a) left figure, the height near the lower end of the tapered surface of the pillars 11b and 12a. BB line cross section in FIG.
As shown in the relationship between the cross section taken along line AA of the right pillars 11b and 12a and the hole 22 of the connector 20 in FIG. 3 (a), two adjacent ones at the height of the upper end surface of the pillars 11b and 12a. The circumferential length surrounding the combination of the column body 12a of the partition plate 10a and the column body 11b of the partition plate 10b is smaller than the length of the inner periphery of the connector 20 at the upper end surfaces of the column body 12a and the column body 11b. It simply passes through the connector 20 from above. In this configuration example, the straightly extending portion passes in the same manner. If there is a portion that extends straight in this way, when inserting the connector 20, it is easy to enter smoothly at first, and after a certain distance is inserted, it stops at the tapered surface 14, and the partition plates are connected to each other. In a connected state, the connector 20 is difficult to inadvertently come off the column bodies 11 and 12.

  Here, a tapered surface 14 extending downward is provided on the inner surface of the column body 11 and the column body 12 of the partition plate 10, and a cross section taken along line B-B of the column bodies 11b and 12a on the right side of FIG. As shown in the relationship with the hole 22 of the connector 20, on the surface of the height of the lower end portion of the tapered surface, a combination of the column body 12a of the two adjacent partition plates 10a and the column body 11b of the partition plate 10b is obtained. The encircling circumference is longer than the inner circumference of the connector 20. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, the connector 20 inserted from above cannot pass through the taper surface 14 and stops. In this example, the fastening is reinforced by the reinforcing fasteners 21 below the pillars 11b and 12a.

In this way, the presence of the tapered surface 14 makes it possible to simply fit and stop the adjacent column bodies 11 and 12 between the partition plates 10 simply by dropping the connector 20 from above, and easily connect the adjacent partition plates 10 to each other. Can tighten tightly.
By applying the above principle, the connection directions and the number of connections between the adjacent partition plates 10 can be various.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which two partition plates 10 are connected at right angles rather than in parallel.
FIG. 4A is a top view of two partition plates 10a and 10b arranged at right angles. In this state, adjacent columns (in this example, the columns 11b and 12a) are connected by the connector 20. FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating a state in which the connector 20 is fitted in a state where two partition plates 10a and 10b are arranged at right angles.

  FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the size of the column of the partition plate and the size of the hole 22 of the connector 20 and the height of the tapered surface 14 when the partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10b are combined at right angles, as in FIG. It is a figure explaining the relationship. The corresponding part is shown in an enlarged manner compared with FIG.

  As shown in the relationship between the cross section along line AA of the right pillars 11b and 12a and the hole 22 of the connector 20 in FIG. 5A, two adjacent ones at the height of the upper end surface of the pillars 11b and 12a. The circumferential length surrounding the combination of the column body 12a of the partition plate 10a and the column body 11b of the partition plate 10b is smaller than the length of the inner periphery of the connector 20 at the upper end surfaces of the column body 12a and the column body 11b. It simply passes through the connector 20 from above. In this configuration example, the straightly extending portion passes in the same manner.

As shown in the relationship between the cross section taken along the line BB of the right pillars 11b and 12a and the hole 22 of the connector 20 in FIG. 5A, two adjacent partitions are formed on the surface of the lower end portion of the tapered surface. The length of the circumference surrounding the combination of the column body 12a of the plate 10a and the column body 11b of the partition plate 10b is larger than the inner circumference length of the connector 20. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the connector 20 is inserted from above, the tapered surface 14a of the column 12a of the partition plate 10a touches the inner periphery of the connector 20, and the column of the partition plate 10b. The tapered surface 14 b of the body 11 b also touches the inner periphery of the connector 20. That is, when the connector 20 is fitted onto the column body 12a of the partition plate 10a and the column body 11b of the partition plate 10b from above, the inner periphery of the connector 20 and the tapered surfaces 14a and 14b come into contact at two locations.
In this example, the fastening is reinforced by the reinforcing fasteners 21 below the pillars 11b and 12a.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a state in which three partition plates 10a to 10c are connected using two connectors 20a to 20b.
FIG. 6A is a top view of the three partition plates 10a, the partition plates 10b, and the partition plates 10c arranged at right angles.

First, in this state, the column bodies of the partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10b (in this example, the column body 12a and the column body 11b) are connected by the connector 20a. As in FIG. 4, the connector 20a is fitted in a state in which the two partition plates 10a and 10b are arranged at right angles.
As shown in FIG. 6B, when the connector 20a is fitted in a state where the two partition plates 10a and the partition plate 10b are arranged, the tapered surface 14a of the column 12a of the partition plate 10a is formed on the inner periphery of the connector 20a. Touching, the taper surface 14b of the column 11b of the partition plate 10b also touches the inner periphery of the connector 20a.

Next, the column bodies (the column body 12a and the column body 11c in this example) of the partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10c are connected by the connector 20b. Here, when the partition plate 10c is further fastened to the partition plate 10a by the connector 20b among the partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10b fastened by the connector 20a, the partition plate 10a is interposed between the partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10c. Since the connector 20a is interposed, a gap is generated by the thickness of the connector 20a.
As shown in FIG. 6B, when the connector 20b is fitted in a state in which the two partition plates 10a and the partition plate 10c are arranged at right angles, the tapered surface 14a of the column 12a of the partition plate 10a is within the connector 20b. Touching the circumference, the tapered surface 14b of the column 11c of the partition plate 10c also touches the inner circumference of the connector 20b.

  Here, since the two connectors 20a and 20b overlap the partition plate 10a, it is necessary to adjust the height at which both fit and stop. For example, there is a device for changing the size (width) of the hole 22a of the connector 20a and the size (width) of the hole 22b of the connector 20b. Since the column body has a tapered surface 14 and the height at which it stops is changed, or the thickness of the connector 20 is interposed between the columns, the size (width) of the column body to be enclosed changes. A connector 20 adjusted to the width may be prepared. By changing the size (width) of the hole 22 in this way, it is possible to change the height at which the pillar 22 is fitted and stopped, and the adjacent partition plates while stopping at a height different from the connector 20a and the connector 20b. 10 can be tightened easily and firmly.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the four partition plates 10a to 10d are coupled using the three connectors 20a to 20c.
Fig.7 (a) is the figure which looked at the mode that four partition plates 10a-10d were arranged in a right angle, respectively from the upper surface.

  First, in this state, the column bodies of the partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10b (in this example, the column body 12a and the column body 11b) are connected by the connector 20a. For example, the connector 20a is fitted in a state where two partition plates 10a and 10b are arranged at right angles. When the connector 20a is fitted, in the state of FIG. 7B, the tapered surface 14a of the column 12a of the partition plate 10a touches the inner periphery of the connector 20a, and the tapered surface 14b of the column 11b of the partition 10b is also connected. The inner circumference of the child 20a is touched.

  Next, for example, the column bodies of the partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10c (in this example, the column body 12a and the column body 11c) are connected by the connector 20b. In this example, the connector 20b is fitted in a state in which the two partition plates 10a and 10c are arranged at right angles. Here, when the partition plate 10c is further fastened to the partition plate 10a by the connector 20b among the partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10b fastened by the connector 20a, the partition plate 10a is interposed between the partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10c. Since the connector 20a is interposed, a gap is generated by the thickness of the connector 20a. When the connector 20b is fitted, in the state of FIG. 7B, the tapered surface 14a of the column 12a of the partition plate 10a touches the inner periphery of the connector 20b, and the tapered surface 14c of the column 11c of the partition 10c is also connected. The inner circumference of the child 20b is touched.

  Similarly, the column bodies of the partition plate 10a and the partition plate 10d (in this example, the column body 12a and the column body 11d) are connected by the connector 20c. In this example, the connector 20c is fitted with two partition plates 10a and 10d arranged at right angles. Here, when the partition plate 10d is further tightened to the partition plate 10a by the connector 20c among the partition plate 10a, the partition plate 10b, and the partition plate 10c fastened by the connector 20a, the partition plate 10a and the partition plate Since the connector 20b is interposed between 10d, a gap is generated by the thickness of the connector 20b. When the connector 20c is fitted, in the state of FIG. 7B, the tapered surface 14a of the column 12a of the partition plate 10a touches the inner periphery of the connector 20c, and the tapered surface 14d of the column 11d of the partition 10d is also connected. The inner circumference of the child 20c is touched.

  The three connectors 20a to 20c are attached to the column body 12a of the partition plate 10a, and the sizes (widths) of the respective holes 22a to 22c are set in consideration of the angle of the tapered surface, the thickness of the connector 20, and the like. If you prepare something that changed and change the height that stops on the pillar, you can easily connect the adjacent partition plates 10 while stopping at a height different from the connector 20a, connector 20b, connector 20c, And it is the same that it can tighten firmly.

  The connector 20 stops at the bottom of the column, the connector 20a stops at the bottom of the column, the connector 20b stops at the middle of the column (those considering the thickness of the connector 20a), and stops at the top of the column. Only three types of connectors 20c (those that take into account the thickness of the connector 20b) may be used, and the partition plates 10 are basically connected to each other using the connector 20a that stops at the bottom of the column body. When adding the partition plate 10, it is only necessary to use a connector 20 b that stops at the middle of the column at that time, and when adding another partition plate 10 at the same location, Since it is sufficient to use the connector 20c that stops at the top of the column, there is no confusion with the type of connector 20 to be used.

  The labyrinth play equipment 100 of the present invention combines various connection methods (connection of two adjacent partition plates 10, connection of three partition plates 10, connection of four partition plates 10) to various mazes. Can be easily formed.

FIG. 8 is a diagram simply showing a maze formed using the maze play apparatus 100 of the present invention. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the connection of the two partition plates 10, the connection of the three partition plates 10, and the connection of the four partition plates 10 are combined in a complicated manner. Even in such a complicated labyrinth, it is possible to easily and securely tighten the connecting plate 20 from above with respect to the columnar body 11 and the columnar body 12 arranged side by side with the partition plates 10. Further, when a plurality of locations where the partition plates 10 are assembled at a right angle by assembling a plurality of partition plates 10, the portions can gradually become independent. Therefore, it becomes comparatively easy to add the partition plate 10 to the periphery one after another.
In this way, a plurality of partition plates 10 can be freely arranged and easily connected one after another, so that mazes of various patterns can be assembled. If the number of partition plates 10 is increased, the assembly method is infinite.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram simply showing an example of a maze for the purpose of experiential learning type disaster prevention education using a maze formed using the maze playground equipment 100 of the present invention. In the example of FIG. 9, there are indications such as “Kicken / Closed” or “Fire / Closed” in places that are so-called dead ends, which can be considered as places where children are restricted due to disasters, There are indications such as “safety call”, “fire department”, and “hospital” in the middle of the so-called places where you can pass, and experience learning that raises disaster prevention awareness by assuming that it is a good place for children to pass through that point. It can be used as a type of educational tool.

  As mentioned above, although the preferred embodiment in the structural example of the assembly-type maze of the present invention has been illustrated and described, it will be understood that various modifications can be made without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. .
