Description

1 / 4 Improvement introduced in educational electricity kit. FIELD OF APPLICATION: 1. The aforementioned product, whose protection will be claimed in this report, was developed with the intention of addressing deficiencies, alleviating difficulties, and solving problems previously encountered by users in the education sector. INTRODUCTION: 2. This utility model patent application refers to an educational electricity kit, with the described magnetic and electrical connection between the male and female magnetic buttons, both containing permanent magnets with opposite polarities, and an electrically conductive end, whose function is to stimulate the critical and creative thinking of children and young people so that they can see themselves and express themselves as scientists, inventors, and even as small innovators. 3. In schools or even at home, no child should be prevented from learning about electronics and understanding how we relate to science and technology because of the high economic cost of educational materials. 4. This product stands out primarily for its practical, simple, and functional design in a kit that allows participants to build circuits and learn hands-on concepts such as electrical quantities, various types of electronic components, electrical circuit configurations, Ohm's law, etc. It also possesses unique, exclusive, and innovative functional aspects, which will be described below, making it an exclusive product on the market. CHARACTERISTICS: 5. The Kit in question, presented through this report, is composed of: battery holders (1), arranged in two units; LEDs (2), arranged in two units, one green and one red; a doorbell; a sliding switch; push buttons, arranged in two units, one green and one red; magnetic buttons (2.1) (2.2), fixed in pairs on the sides of the casing of each component mentioned above and on the ends of the cables (3); double cables (3), arranged in five units; triple cables (4), arranged in two units and four batteries. Petition 870200110309, dated 08 / 31 / 2020, page 4 / 15 2 / 4 6. The magnetic buttons (2.1) (2.2) are composed of a pair of female magnetic buttons and a pair of male magnetic buttons, which are therefore opposite poles that attract each other. 7. In addition to these parts, the kit includes an instruction manual that teaches nine possible ways to assemble the product. FIGURES: 8. Initially, to better demonstrate these characteristics, and aiming for a clear and objective understanding of the provisions applied in this Utility Model, a drawing and flowchart will be presented for illustrative purposes, making reference to the attached report. 9. FIGURE 1 illustrates, in a top view, one option for using the kit, containing: battery holders (1), LED (2); magnetic buttons (2.1) (2.2), and double cables (3). 10. FIGURE 2 illustrates, in perspective view, the Led (2). 11. FIGURE 3 illustrates in perspective view, the magnetic buttons (2.1) (2.2), and double cables (3). 12. FIGURE 4 illustrates in perspective view, the magnetic buttons (2.1) (2.2), and double cables (3). 13. FIGURE 5 illustrates in perspective view, the magnetic buttons (2.1) (2.2), and double cables (3). 14. FIGURE 6 illustrates in perspective view, the magnetic buttons (2.1) (2.2), and triple cables (4). 15. FIGURE 7 illustrates in perspective view, the magnetic buttons (2.1) (2.2), and triple cables (4). 16. It should be clarified that the images above illustrate the product in a demonstrative and non-restrictive manner, whose design may vary in terms of its measurements, raw materials, dimensions, etc., without logically deviating from the main scope for which protection is claimed. FUNCTIONALITY: 17. Initially, the aforementioned product, described in this report, will be used in the education sector. Petition 870200110309, dated 08 / 31 / 2020, page 5 / 15 3 / 4 18. The kit contains eight electronic components, and each of these has a pair of female magnetic buttons (2.2) fixed to its sides. The cables are made with pairs or trios of male magnetic buttons (2.1). When the cables (3) are connected to the blocks of electronic components, a circuit can be formed, and experiments such as lighting an LED (2), a bell, or activating a DC motor can be performed. 19. The double cable (3) shown in Figure 3 allows only two connections between the components of the kit, and the triple cable (4) shown in Figure 6 allows up to three connections, enabling the assembly of circuits in parallel. 20. The electrical and magnetic connection of the kit is made through the same magnetic buttons (2.1) (2.2), which means that the kit is neither completely 'snap' nor completely 'wire'. It is therefore a combination of these two characteristics. 21. In fully 'snap' kits, the difficulty lies in visualizing the circuit configurations as they appear in the real world of electronics and engineering. Conversely, fully 'wire' kits have more complicated connectors and connections, which hinders the rapid assembly of circuits and increases the learning curve for beginners. INNOVATION: 22. In general terms, the aforementioned product represents an innovative solution in its design and in the application of the magnetic button model used in relation to an educational electricity kit. 23. The electrical invention kit is accessible for teaching and learning electronics and the pillars of educational robotics. With this kit, the user will be able to discover the world of electricity and develop specific skills in learning about electrical circuits. 24. The learning and activities proposed by this kit promote creative solutions so that children and young people can see themselves and express themselves as scientists, inventors, and even as small innovators. Therefore, it is different and innovative from everything that already exists on the market, as it involves an ecological aspect (using recycled materials in the kit's composition) and presents an easy connection between the components, which promotes the inclusion of the public that does not have precision in minute movements. 25. One of the advantages of this kit is that the connection between the components is easy to handle, the design of the cables (3) and the magnetic pairs (2.1) (2.2) allow accessibility Petition 870200110309, dated 08 / 31 / 2020, page 6 / 15 4 / 4 for students with motor and physical limitations, and young children who have not yet fully developed fine motor skills. 26. This is a unique, exclusive and innovative product, highly reliable and recommended for use in helping children and young people see themselves and express themselves as scientists, inventors or even as small innovators, and will certainly be a great differentiator for the sector it is intended for. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE OF THE ART: 27. During the development of the aforementioned product, numerous studies were conducted to identify any prior or related products. However, these surveys did not reveal the existence of any other product with the same predominant technical or functional characteristics. 28. Faced with this need and commercial opportunity, the aforementioned product was created, more precisely an educational electricity kit, whose function is to stimulate the critical and creative thinking of children and young people so that they can see themselves and express themselves as scientists, inventors, and even as small innovators. 29. Therefore, in accordance with Article 9 of the Industrial Property Law No. 9.279 / 96 and considering all aspects presented in this report, the object of this patent application deserves protection as a Utility Model, which is hereby requested.
