Abstract

Magnetic building blocks in the form of equilateral triangles and squares with magnets on each side and a rounded surface. Characterized by freely movable magnets (2) within the plastic bodies (1) on each side, which generate a magnetic field such that, when two building blocks are brought close together, the magnetic poles align in such a way that they attract each other and a connection is formed between the building blocks. This makes it possible to create connected two- and three-dimensional structures.

Description

[0001] Children's toys made of plastic in various geometric shapes (e.g. squares and triangles) with internal, freely rotating magnets.

[0002] The magnets in the building blocks are not fixed but move freely, creating a magnetic field. When two building blocks are brought close to each other, the magnetic poles align so that they attract each other. This creates a connection between the building blocks.

[0003] These magnets allow the connected blocks to form two- and three-dimensional structures. The blocks have a magnet on each side. A building block example is shown using the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 explains, it shows: Fig. 1: Plastic building block as an equilateral triangle with one magnet per side (3 magnets per building block) Fig.2: Plastic building block as a square with one magnet on each side (4 magnets per building block). The figures show the building blocks with plastic body 1 and magnets 2. List of reference symbols 1 plastic body 2 Magnet

Claims

[1] Magnetic building blocks in the shape of equilateral triangles and squares with magnets on each side and rounded surfaces. characterized by Freely movable magnets (2) in the plastic bodies (1) on each side generate a magnetic field so that when two building blocks approach each other, the magnetic poles align in such a way that they attract each other and a connection is created between the building blocks. This enables the formation of coherent two- and three-dimensional structures. [2] Magnetic building blocks according to claim 1, characterized by a magnet (2) placed centrally on each side to generate a uniform force of attraction to ensure that the building blocks are held together stably. [3] Magnetic building blocks according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by small indentations in the corners of the plastic bodies (1) for pleasant haptics and good grip. [4] Magnetic building blocks according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by rounded corners and missing edges on the plastic bodies (1) in order to avoid injuries.
