plaything

Abstract

A plaything including unit blocks connected to each other using a connection tube is provided. Each unit block includes a spherical capsule and a plurality of connection members protruding at regular angular intervals from the surface of the spherical capsule. A shock detector emitting light in response to an external shock is installed inside the unit block. When connecting the unit blocks, the connection members of different unit blocks are inserted into the same connection tube from opposite directions. A structure formed by only one unit block or by connecting two or more unit blocks may be used as an educational tool or a shaking tool shaken in a manner of jig fishing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a plaything, and more particularly to a plaything including one or more unit blocks, each including a spherical capsule, a plurality of connection members protruding at regular angular intervals from, the surface of the capsule, and tubes enclosing the connection members, and a shock detector emitting light in response to an external shock, in which the unit blocks are connected to form a structure serving as an educational tool or a shaking tool which is shaken in a manner of jig fishing or each unit block solely serving as an educational tool or a shaking tool shaken in a manner of jig fishing.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Generally, block puzzles are used to have fun and improve a user's intelligent creativity. Unit blocks of the puzzle blocks have various forms and are generally connected to each other by surface contact without using a coupling means.[0005]The block p...

Benefits of technology

[0020]According to the plaything according to the present invention, a shock detector which emits a light ray in response to an external shock is installed in a unit block configured, such that a plurality of connection members protrude from a surface of a spherical capsule at regular angular intervals, flexible tubes are installed to enclose the connection members, and one or more unit blocks are coupled to form an educational tool or a shaking tool shaken in a manner of jig fishing. When the plaything is used as an educational tool, chemical structures or molecular structures can be expressed, and three-dimension

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, the desired structure can be made only by stacking the unit blocks and thus it is difficult, to form various structures.

Furthermore, after the desired structure is completely formed, the structure may easily collapse because of the absence of a coupling means.

Accordingly, it is difficult to maintain the block puzzle in the assembled state and it is difficult to use the assembled structure as an ornament.

For this reason, the conventional block puzzle was used only by children and failed to interest teenagers and adults.

Furthermore, since a set of the block puzzle includes about
