Polyhedral toy

Abstract

Provided is a polyhedral toy which provides a variety of play patterns, exhibits an unpredictable change in shape, and thus is able to enhance the puzzle element. A first polyhedron constituting the upper surface of a cube is connected to a second polyhedron constituting a first lateral face of the cube and to a third polyhedron constituting a second lateral face adjacent to the first lateral face, by sides of the respective bottom faces. The second polyhedron is connected to a fourth polyhedron constituting a third lateral face opposing the second lateral face of the cube, by sides of the respective bottom faces. The fourth polyhedron is connected to a fifth polyhedron constituting the lower surface opposing the upper surface of the cube, by sides of the respective bottom faces. Further, the fifth polyhedron is connected to a sixth polyhedron constituting a fourth lateral face opposing the first lateral face of the cube, by sides of the respective bottom faces. The third polyhedron of a first cube is connected to the sixth polyhedron of a second cube, by sides of the respective bottom faces. The third polyhedron of the second cube is connected to the sixth polyhedron of the first cube, by sides of the respective bottom faces.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a polyhedron toy capable of changing from a cuboid form to various forms. Background technique [0002] In the past, a polyhedral toy composed of two toy bodies that can fit each other in a yin and yang shape (Japanese: male and female) and can change between a star-shaped polyhedron and a cube is known. Its structure and manufacturing method are disclosed in patent documents 1. [0003] Assuming that the two toy bodies are the toy body A and the toy body B, each of the toy body A and the toy body B is composed of eight polyhedral units. [0004] Among the game methods, there are two modes as the main game methods. [0005] One of the patterns is as follows. [0006] If the form shown in Figure 1 of Patent Document 1 is taken as the initial form of the toy body A, and the toy body A is expanded from this state centering on the dividing line 14 (see Figure 1), a star-shaped Polyhedral toy body B. The star-shaped pol...

Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, the game method of changing the toy body A or the toy body B into a color-changing cube or alternately changing into a cube and a star-shaped polyhedron has a limit on the game mode.

[0011] In addition, the game method of pairing the toy body A and the toy body B is basically used, and the game method of using the toy body A and the toy body B as a single body is also limited.

[0012] Moreover, the game method of pairing the toy main body A and the toy main body B is set as the basic, and lacks the expandability to enrich the content of the game by combining two or more cube toys.
