Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a building block assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Previously, there was a known building block toy system that could form a two-dimensional graphic by assembling it in a prescribed configuration (Patent Document 1).

[0003] Patent document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-122536.

[0004] However, in the technology described in the aforementioned patent document 1, users tend to focus on the building blocks themselves before assembling them, and there is still room for improvement in the user experience with the building blocks. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a building block and a building block assembly that can enhance the user's experience with building blocks.

[0006] The first type of this utility model is a block assembly that constitutes a simulated structure for use in building block toys. It includes multiple blocks, and multiple protrusions are formed on the multiple blocks at a certain distance from each other. The characteristic feature is that at least a portion of the first block among the multiple blocks has an internal diagram showing the interior of the structure. In the assembled state, the internal diagram of the first block is separated from the second block among the multiple blocks by a first distance, which is shorter than the certain distance.

[0007] The second type provided by this utility model is based on the first type of building block assembly, wherein the internal diagram is printed on the surface of the first building block.

[0008] The third type provided by this utility model is based on the first type of building block assembly, wherein the first building block and the second building block are exposed when the structure is viewed from the outside.

[0009] The fourth type provided by this utility model is based on the third type of building block assembly, in which the gap between the first building block and the second building block is exposed when the structure is observed from the outside after assembly.

[0010] The fifth type provided by this utility model is based on the first type of building block assembly. The building blocks have a supported part supported by a support part of a third building block that is different from the first building block and a side side. The internal diagram is provided on the side side. Between the support part of the third building block and the supported part, when the supported part is supported by the support part of the third building block, a gap with a width of less than a second distance is formed. The second distance is less than the first distance.

[0011] The sixth type provided by this utility model is based on the first type of building block assembly, wherein the internal diagram is separated from the periphery of the first building block by a distance of more than three.

[0012] The seventh type provided by this utility model is based on the sixth type of block assembly, wherein the third distance is greater than or equal to the first distance.

[0013] The eighth type provided by this utility model is based on the first type of block assembly, wherein the first distance is greater than 0 mm and less than or equal to 3.0 mm.

[0014] The ninth type of this utility model is based on the first type of building block assembly, and is a toy that imitates a vehicle. The tenth type of this utility model is based on the ninth type of building block assembly, characterized in that the structure is a railway vehicle, and the internal diagram extends along the direction of travel of the railway vehicle.

[0015] The eleventh type provided by this utility model is based on the ninth type of building block assembly, and has a connecting component for connecting with other toys. The connecting component is flat, has an annular connecting part and a rotating support part that can rotatably support the connecting part; the rotating support part can rotate about the direction of travel of the vehicle as an axis.

[0016] According to the first type of building block assembly, the building block assembly of this utility model has an internal diagram showing the inside of the structure. For example, when the assembled building block assembly that imitates the structure is disassembled again, the user can see the inside of the structure, thereby improving the user's experience with building blocks.

[0017] According to the second type of block assembly, users can accurately see the internal diagram when assembling and disassembling the block assembly.

[0018] According to the third type of building block assembly, since the building block assembly includes the building blocks of this utility model, it is possible to provide a building block assembly that allows the user to see the internal structure of the structure by loading and unloading the building blocks.

[0019] According to the fourth type of block assembly, in the assembled state, it is possible to prevent other blocks from contacting the internal diagram.

[0020] According to the fifth type of block assembly, the blocks can be properly supported while ensuring the appropriate distance between the internal diagram and other blocks.

[0021] According to the sixth type of block assembly, when loading and unloading blocks with internal diagrams or blocks near the internal diagrams, it is possible to prevent the internal diagrams from coming into contact with other blocks and being damaged.

[0022] According to the seventh type of block assembly, since the third distance is above the first distance, it is possible to prevent the internal diagram from being seen through the gaps between the blocks.

[0023] According to the eighth type of block assembly, when the blocks are arranged in positions opposite to the internal diagram, it is possible to prevent the blocks from contacting the internal diagram while preventing the internal diagram from being seen.

[0024] According to the ninth and tenth types of building block assemblies, users can not only drive the building block assemblies, but also use them as building block toys.

[0025] According to the eleventh type of building block assembly, the direction of the connecting part can be changed according to the connecting parts of other toys, so as to connect with the connecting parts of other toys.

[0026] It should be noted that the above effects are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to be limiting. In addition to or in lieu of the above effects, any effects described in this invention, as well as effects obvious to those skilled in the art, can also be produced. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For ease of explanation, any direction in the horizontal direction will be defined as the front-back direction, the direction perpendicular to the front-back direction in the horizontal direction will be defined as the left-right direction, and the direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction will be defined as the up-down direction.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 This shows a 3D model of Toy 1. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The image shows an exploded 3D view of Toy 1. Toy 1 is, for example, a vehicle-type toy that imitates a railway vehicle (structure). Toy 1 consists of a main body 3 and building blocks 5. In other words, Toy 1 is a railway vehicle-type building block assembly where the building blocks 5 can be attached to the main body 3 for play.

[0037] The main body 3 primarily functions as a vehicle and detachably supports the building blocks 5, and is the main body of the toy 1. The main body 3 includes a vehicle body 11 and a base 13. The vehicle body 11 is located on the lower side of the toy 1. The vehicle body 11 includes a frame 15, an axle 17, and a connecting unit 19. The frame 15 extends in the front-rear and left-right directions of the toy 1, and is, for example, a resin skeleton component. A support portion 15a is formed on the frame 15 to rotatably support the connecting unit 19. The axle 17 consists of a shaft 21 and a pair of wheels 23 fixed to both ends of the shaft 21. Two sets of shafts 21 are spaced apart in the lower part of the frame 15, for example, in the front-rear direction. The shafts 21 are rotatably supported on the lower part of the frame 15. Thus, the axle 17 is supported on the lower part of the frame 15.

[0038] Thus, the frame 15 can move by rotating the wheels 23 around the axle 21. The term "movement" here can refer to passive movement, such as being towed by another vehicle model, or active movement, such as being driven by an electric motor mounted on the vehicle 11, which rotates the wheels 23.

[0039] The connecting unit 19 is a component used to connect toy 1 and other toys (including other toys 101 described later). Specifically, the connecting unit 19 includes a connecting member 25 and a rotating support portion 27. The connecting member 25 is, for example, a resin component that engages with the connecting portion of other toys. The connecting member 25 is formed in a flat plate shape and extends rearward from the frame 15. Furthermore, a connecting portion 25a is formed on the rear side of the connecting member 25 in the front-rear direction. The connecting portion 25a is flat and annular, and a portion of it has a cutout. Thus, the connecting member 25 is configured to pass through the cutout of the connecting portion 25a, thereby connecting with the connecting portions of other toys (including connecting portions 125a and 126a described later). The rotating support portion 27 is a disc-shaped component that is rotatably mounted on the support portion 15a about an axis in the front-rear direction. The rotating support portion 27 pivotally supports the connecting portion 25a and the end of the connecting member 25 located on one side of the frame 15. Thus, the connecting unit 19 can rotatably support the connecting member 25 on the frame 15 by mounting the connecting member 25 on the frame 15 via the rotating support 27, with the front and rear directions as the axis.

[0040] The base 13 is a generally flat, resin-made component extending in the front-back and left-right directions of the toy 1. The base 13 is fixed to the upper side of the driving body 11, for example, by screws 29. Furthermore, the base 13 has multiple protrusions 13b extending upwards from its upper surface 13a. These protrusions 13b are, for example, cylindrical. The multiple protrusions 13b are arranged in a matrix, spaced at a distance from each other in the front-back and left-right directions. Although detailed later, these multiple protrusions 13b can support the building blocks 5 on the base 13 by embedding them. Thus, the main body 3, with the driving body 11 forming a drivable structure, and the base 13 forming a structure that supports the building blocks 5.

[0041] Block 5 is detachable from the base 13 and other blocks, such as resin components. Block 5 can be in simpler shapes like prisms, cylinders, pyramids, and cones, or more complex shapes such as those mimicking parts of a vehicle, a person, or an animal or plant. The following explanation uses prism-shaped corner block 31 and model block 33, mimicking the front end of a railway vehicle, as examples.

[0042] The corner block 31 is, for example, a cuboid-shaped block. Protrusions 31a and embedded portions 31b are formed on the corner block 31. The protrusions 31a are of the same type as the protrusions 13b formed on the base 13, and are formed to protrude upwards from the top of the corner block 31. Furthermore, multiple protrusions 31a are formed on the top surface 31c of the corner block 31, spaced apart from each other, similar to the protrusions 13b formed on the base 13. The embedded portion 31b is a recessed portion that is recessed into the corner block 31 from its lower side. This embedded portion 31b is a part that can engage with the protrusions 13b and 31a by inserting it.

[0043] Model block 33 is a block that mimics the shape of the front end of a railway vehicle, as described above. Like corner block 31, model block 33 has protrusions and embedded portions. Since the protrusions and embedded portions on model block 33 are the same as those on corner block 31 (protrusion 31a and embedded portion 31b), their description is omitted here.

[0044] Thus, the corner block 31 and the model block 33 are embedded in the protrusion 13b of the base 13 through the embedded part 31b, and are thus supported on the base 13. Therefore, the base 13, the corner block 31, and the model block 33 can support each other or be supported by each other.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 This shows a side view of toy 1 from an angle above. (Refer to...) Figure 4 This shows the rear view of Toy 1. Figure 4 For ease of explanation, only the building blocks 5 with a first internal view 41 and a second internal view 42 are shown. Among the plurality of corner blocks 31 (four in this embodiment), at least one corner block 31 has a first internal view 41 on its flat surface representing the interior of the toy 1 (e.g., a passenger seat). A specific example of the interior view of the toy 1 is a view (internal view) that mimics the interior structure seen from inside a railway vehicle. That is, it is preferable not to be a view of the interior seen from outside a railway vehicle window. This provides the user with a sense of being inside a railway vehicle. Furthermore, a second internal view 42 representing the interior of the toy 1 (e.g., a driver's cab) is provided on the flat surface of the model block 33. Specifically, the first internal view 41 and the second internal view 42 are printed on the corner blocks 31 and the model block 33. Preferably, the first internal view 41 and the second internal view 42 are printed on the corner blocks 31 and the model block 33 by so-called UV printing (a printing method that uses ultraviolet light to harden the coating). It should be noted that the first internal diagram 41 and the second internal diagram 42 can also be set on the corner block 31 and the model block 33 by pad printing or hot stamping, or they can be set by pasting stickers with the first internal diagram 41 and the second internal diagram 42 pre-printed on the corner block 31 and the model block 33.

[0046] In this way, by printing the first internal view 41 and the second internal view 42, the corner block 31 and the model block 33 can represent the internal structure of the toy 1 (especially the internal view). Specifically, according to Figure 3 The corner piece 31 with the first internal figure 41 is arranged on the corner piece 31 near the front side of the paper surface of the toy 1. Figure 4 (Not shown in the diagram) The position covering the first internal diagram 41. Therefore, toy 1 normally prevents the user from viewing the first internal diagram 41. On the other hand, according to Figure 4 When the corner block 31 covering the first internal diagram 41 is removed, the toy 1 allows the user to see the first internal diagram 41. Therefore, because the corner block 31 has the first internal diagram 41, the user can see the first internal diagram 41 when assembling or disassembling the toy 1. Thus, by using the blocks 5 (corner block 31 and model block 33) with the first internal diagram 41 and the second internal diagram 42, an educational opportunity can be provided to the user. As for the model block 33 with the second internal diagram 42, since it has the same effect as the corner block 31 described above, its description is omitted here.

[0047] In particular, the corner block 31 has a simpler shape compared to the model block 33, thus offering greater versatility. Therefore, users can place the corner block 31, which is set on a vehicle-type toy 1 that mimics a railway vehicle (transportation vehicle), on a model airplane, for example. Thus, the corner block 31 can provide users with an idea that is difficult to realize in reality: that is, to place a first interior diagram 41, serving as an interior diagram of a railway vehicle, inside an airplane.

[0048] Reference Figure 5 The diagram shows another toy 101 located behind toy 1. This other toy 101, like toy 1, is, for example, a vehicle-type toy imitating a railway vehicle (transportation vehicle). Specifically, the other toy 101 includes a main body 103 and corner blocks 31. The main body 103, like the main body 3 in toy 1, primarily functions as a moving vehicle and detachably supports the blocks 5. The main body 103 differs from the main body 3 in toy 1 in the connection unit 119. It should be noted that the structure of the main body 103, apart from the connection unit 119, may differ from the main body 3 in toy 1, but for ease of explanation, the structure other than the connection unit 119 is assumed to be the same as the main body 3 in toy 1, and the description is omitted.

[0049] The connecting unit 119 has a horizontal connecting member 125 and a vertical connecting member 126. The horizontal connecting member 125 is arranged as follows: Figure 5The front side of the main body 103 shown is a component, for example, made of resin, that engages with the connecting unit 19 of the toy 1. This horizontal connecting member 125 is formed as a flat plate extending in both the front-rear and left-right directions. Furthermore, the horizontal connecting member 125 is rotatably supported on the main body 103 by, for example, a rod-shaped support extending in the vertical direction (not shown). Thus, the horizontal connecting member 125 can swing the connecting portion 125a approximately in the left-right direction within a vertical plane perpendicular to the vertical axis. On the other hand, the swinging of the horizontal connecting member 125 in the approximately vertical direction of the connecting portion 125a and its rotation approximately in the front-rear direction are restricted. A vertical connecting member 126 is provided as shown... Figure 5 The rear side of the main body 103 shown is a component made of resin, for example, that engages with the connecting unit 19 of the toy 1. This vertical connecting member 126 is formed as a flat plate extending in both the front-back and vertical directions. Furthermore, the vertical connecting member 126 is rotatably supported on the main body 103 by, for example, a rod-shaped support extending in the left-right direction (not shown). Thus, the vertical connecting member 126 can swing the connecting portion 126a about the left-right direction as an axis within a vertical plane (approximately in the vertical direction) perpendicular to this axis. On the other hand, the swinging of the vertical connecting member 126 in the approximately left-right direction and its rotation about the front-back direction are limited.

[0050] Here, as described above, the connecting unit 19 of the main body 3 mounts the connecting member 25 on the frame 15 via the rotating support 27, allowing the connecting member 25 to rotate about the front-rear direction. Thus, the connecting unit 19 of the toy 1 can connect the connecting member 25 to the horizontal connecting member 125 extending in both the front-rear and left-right directions.

[0051] Reference Figure 6 This demonstrates another toy 101 equipped with corner blocks 31 having a third internal diagram 43. The difference between the third internal diagram 43 and the first internal diagram 41 is that the first internal diagram 41 assumes a forward direction of travel, while the third internal diagram 43 assumes a backward direction of travel. That is, the overall intended direction of travel for the other toy 101 differs from that of toy 1. In this case, it is conceivable that the user could rotate the corner blocks 31 of the other toy 101 180° around an axis in the vertical direction and rearrange them near the front of the paper. On the other hand, besides… Figure 6 Besides the corner block 31 shown, there are several other blocks (not shown) arranged on other toys 101. In this case, rearranging all these blocks could be troublesome for the user. Therefore, it is advisable to consider... Figure 6 The other toys 101 in the shown posture are rotated 180° around the vertical axis so that the overall intended direction of travel of the other toys 101 is consistent with the intended direction of travel of toy 1.

[0052] As described above, the connecting unit 19 of the main body 3 mounts the connecting member 25 on the frame 15 via the rotating support 27, allowing the connecting member 25 to rotate about the front-back direction. In other words, the connecting unit 19 of the main body 3 can change the orientation of the connecting member 25 to extend in the left-right direction by rotating the connecting member 25. Thus, the connecting unit 19 of the toy 1 can connect the connecting member 25 to the vertical connecting member 126 extending in both the front-back and up-down directions.

[0053] Therefore, the connecting unit 19 of the main body 3 can be connected to either the horizontal connecting member 125 or the vertical connecting member 126. Thus, the main body 3, for example, as described above... Figure 6 In the example, even if the structures of the connecting units 119 at the front and rear are different, they can be connected to any connecting component. Especially in toys 1 and 101 that have blocks with internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43, when the orientation of the internal diagrams differs from the user's intention, the user may discover this when multiple blocks have already been placed on toys 1 and 101. Even in this case, the user can easily correct the direction of travel by changing the orientation of one of the toys 1 and 101. In other words, the connecting unit 19 of the main body 3 functions particularly well in toys 1 and 101 that have blocks with internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43.

[0054] Reference Figure 7 It showed Figure 4 A magnified view of the S-range. Figure 4 For ease of explanation, only the block 5 with the first internal diagram 41 and the second internal diagram 42 is shown in the illustration. Figure 7 The text also shows that from Figure 4 Look at the corner block 31 near the front of the paper. In toy 1, the first internal image 41 of corner block 31 is separated from the other corner blocks 31 by a first distance L1 or more. Specifically, when corner block 31 is positioned on the base 13, it is separated from the other corner blocks 31 by a first distance L1 or more in both the left-right and front-back directions. Here, the distance between corner blocks 31 and other corner blocks 31 takes into account the thickness of the first internal image 41. That is, if the thickness of the first internal image 41 is the thickness of UV printing as described above, then when the protrusions 13b of each block are fully engaged with the embedded portion 31b, the distance between the printed portion and the closest portion of the other corner block 31 is a first distance L1 or more. Furthermore, if the first internal image 41 is a sticker, then the distance after considering the thickness of the sticker is a first distance L1 or more. Therefore, if the first internal image 41 is thinner than a sticker, like UV printing, then while maintaining the first distance L1, the distance between blocks 5 without the first internal image 41 can be reduced.

[0055] Specifically, the first distance L1 is between 0 mm and 3.0 mm, more specifically, it is preferably greater than 0 mm and less than or equal to 3.0 mm. Therefore, when the building blocks 5 are positioned opposite the first internal diagram 41, the toy 1 can prevent the building blocks 5 from contacting the first internal diagram 41 and causing damage to it. Furthermore, when the building blocks are assembled, the user cannot see the first internal diagram 41, thus providing the user with the enjoyment of only seeing the first internal diagram 41 after the building blocks are disassembled. Additionally, it is preferable that the first distance L1 is less than or equal to 1.0 mm. This better prevents the user from seeing the first internal diagram 41. More preferably, the first distance L1 is less than or equal to 0.5 mm. This allows the toy 1 to better prevent the user from seeing the first internal diagram 41 while reducing the gap between the building blocks 5 and improving the aesthetic design. Furthermore, it is preferable that the first distance L1 is greater than or equal to 0.2 mm. This better prevents the building blocks 5 positioned opposite the first internal diagram 41 from contacting the first internal diagram 41 due to swinging or other reasons.

[0056] Next, the state in which the building block 5 is positioned on the base 13 will be described in detail. The building block 5 is positioned on the base 13 by inserting the embedded portion 31b into the protrusion 13b of the base 13. The building block 5 and the base 13 are separate in this configuration, and due to factors such as tolerances, a predetermined gap may exist between the building block 5 and the base 13. Therefore, for example, when the embedded portion 31b is inserted into the protrusion 13b of the base 13, and the lower end of the embedded portion 31b is pressed until it contacts the upper surface 13a of the base 13 and cannot move any closer, the maximum value of the predetermined gap is defined as the second distance L2.

[0057] The second distance L2 defined in this way is smaller than the first distance L1. By intentionally setting a first distance L1 that is larger than the unintended gaps between the blocks caused by tolerances, for example, when the block 5 closest to the first internal diagram 41 is removed from the base 13, if the block 5 rotates about the part furthest from the corner block 31 on which the first internal diagram 41 is located, the corner closest to the first internal diagram 41 can be prevented from contacting the first internal diagram 41. Therefore, the first internal diagram 41 provided on the corner block 31 (first block) can be prevented from being damaged due to contact with other blocks 5 (second blocks).

[0058] Reference Figure 8The figure shows a front view of a corner block 31 with a first internal diagram 41. The first internal diagram 41 is located at a distance of at least a third distance L3 from the periphery of the corner block 31. Specifically, the first internal diagram 41 is positioned at a distance of at least a third distance L3 from the top 31c, side 31d, and bottom 31e of the corner block 31. In this way, because the first internal diagram 41 is located at a distance of at least a third distance L3 from the top 31c and side 31d of the corner block 31, the toy 1 can prevent the user from seeing the first internal diagram 41 from above. In particular, when the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to the first distance L1, the angle from which the periphery of the first internal diagram 41 can be seen is at least 45° relative to the top 31c and at least 45° relative to the side 31d, thus effectively preventing the user from seeing the first internal diagram 41.

[0059] Furthermore, since the first inner diagram 41 is separated from the bottom 31e of the corner block 31 by a third distance L3 or more, when moving the corner block 31 and the corner block 31 opposite to the first inner diagram 41, it is possible to prevent the first inner diagram 41 from contacting other blocks. In particular, when the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to the first distance L1, when the corner block 31 opposite to the first inner diagram 41 is rotated about the bottom of the opposite side of the face opposite to the first inner diagram 41 as an axis, it is possible to effectively prevent the bottom of the face opposite to the first inner diagram 41 from contacting the first inner diagram 41.

[0060] In summary, the building block 5 of this utility model is used in building block toys, forming part of a toy 1 that imitates a railway vehicle as a structure, and at least a portion of it is provided with internal figures 41, 42 and 43 representing the interior of the structure.

[0061] Therefore, since the building blocks 5 of this invention are provided with internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43 showing the interior of the structure, when the toy 1, which imitates the structure, is disassembled after assembly of the building blocks 5, the user can see the interior of the structure. This enhances the user's experience with the building blocks.

[0062] Furthermore, in the building block 5 of this invention, the internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43 are printed on the surface. This allows the user to accurately see the internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43 during the assembly and disassembly of the toy 1.

[0063] Specifically, the toy 1 of this invention includes the building blocks 5 of this invention. Therefore, a toy 1 can be provided in which the user can see the internal structure by attaching and detaching the building blocks 5. Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this invention, the internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43 of the building blocks 5, in their assembled state, are separated from the other building blocks 5 constituting the toy 1 by a first distance L1 or more. This prevents other building blocks from contacting the internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43, and also prevents the user from seeing the internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43 when the building blocks 5 with internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43 are mounted on the toy 1.

[0064] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this utility model, the building block 5 (first building block) has an embedded portion 31b as a supported part, which is supported by a protrusion 13b formed on the upper surface 13a of the base 13, which is another building block (third building block). It also has side portions such as a side surface 31d. Internal figures 41, 42, and 43 are provided on the side portions. Between the upper surface 13a of the base 13 and the embedded portion 31b, with the embedded portion 31b supported by the protrusion 13b of the base 13, a gap with a width less than a second distance L2 is formed, and the second distance L2 is less than the first distance L1. Thus, since the second distance L2 is less than the first distance L1, while appropriately ensuring the distance between the internal figures 41, 42, and 43 and other building blocks 5, appropriate support can be provided by the protrusion 13b and the embedded portion 31b. It should be noted that "side portion" in the corner building block 13 refers to the side surface 31d; for example, in the model building block 33, it could also be the side surface near the second internal figure 42. Furthermore, when a flat surface is formed on block 5 to remove the sharp edges, such as a chamfer, or when the sharp edges are rounded, for example, the second distance L3 can be measured according to the sharp edges without a chamfer or rounding (i.e., the distance measured from the side of block 5).

[0065] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this invention, the internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43 are separated from the periphery of the building blocks 5 by a third distance L3 or more. Therefore, when loading or unloading the building blocks 5 with internal diagrams 41, 42, or 43, or when loading or unloading building blocks near internal diagrams 41, 42, or 43, damage to the internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43 from contact with other building blocks can be prevented. In particular, when the building blocks 5 with internal diagrams 41, 42, or 43 are configured as part of the toy 1, the internal diagrams 41, 42, or 43 are separated from the other building blocks 5 constituting the toy 1 by a first distance L1 or more, and the third distance L3 is greater than or equal to the first distance L1, thus preventing the internal diagrams 41, 42, and 43 from being seen through the gaps between the building blocks 5. Specifically, for example, if there are no chamfers at the corners, when the user's line of sight is relative to the internal diagrams 41, 42, or 43, if the angle is less than 45°, it is difficult to see the internal diagrams 41, 42, or 43.

[0066] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this utility model, the first distance is 0mm to 3.0mm. Thus, when the building block 5 is positioned opposite to the internal figures 41, 42 or 43, the toy 1 can prevent the building block 5 from contacting the internal figures 41, 42 or 43, and at the same time prevent the user from seeing the internal figures 41, 42 or 43.

[0067] Furthermore, the toy 1 of this invention is a vehicle-imitating toy. Thus, the user can not only drive the toy 1, but also use it as a building block toy. Furthermore, by attaching and detaching the building blocks 5 of the vehicle-imitating toy 1, the user can see the internal structure of the vehicle as shown in Figures 41, 42, or 43. Specifically, the toy 1 of this invention, for example, has a connecting member 25 for connecting with other vehicles 101. The connecting member 25 is flat, has an annular connecting portion 25a, and a rotating support portion 27 that rotatably supports the connecting portion. Therefore, the toy 1 of this invention can change the direction of the connecting portion 25a according to the connecting members (horizontal connecting member 125 and vertical connecting member 126) of other vehicles 101, thereby connecting with the connecting members of other vehicles 101.

[0068] The embodiments of this utility model have been described above, but this utility model is not limited thereto and various modifications can be made.

[0069] For example, in this embodiment, toy 1, which is a block assembly, is used as an example for explanation. However, the block assembly can also be a business model that imitates a structure, and does not have to be a toy. In addition, in this embodiment, a railway vehicle is used as an example of a structure for explanation, but it can also be a means of transportation such as a car, airplane, ship, or construction machinery, or a building such as a building or house, or even a fictional structure. Fictional structures include, for example, structures that appear in novels, comics, anime, etc., but do not actually exist.

[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment, protrusions 13b and 31a are used as support parts for the building blocks, and the embedded part 31b is used as the supported part, as an example for explanation. However, the support parts and supported parts can also be supported by magnets or Velcro, or they can be supported by a C-shaped support part for clamping.

[0071] In this embodiment, materials such as resin are described, but these are merely examples; materials made of wood or metal may also be used. Furthermore, in this embodiment, connecting parts and connecting portions are exemplified as connecting part 25, connecting portion 25a, rotating support portion 27, horizontal connecting part 125 and connecting portion 125a, and vertical connecting part 126 and connecting portion 126a. However, various types of connecting parts and connecting portions, such as those including magnets or Velcro connections, or those using C-shaped cross-sections, may also be used. Additionally, in this embodiment, a main body 103, which can detach and load the building blocks 5 like the main body 3 in toy 1, is used as an example of another toy 101. However, other toys 101 may not have detachable building blocks 5 and are not necessarily vehicle-type.

[0072] Furthermore, the names used in the above embodiments are merely for distinguishing each other's structures, etc., and other names may be used depending on the function and form. Also, in this utility model, even the use of terms such as "first" and "second" does not imply limitation to only the two elements having these terms. Of course, it may also include "third," "fourth," and more elements.
