Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of children's toys, and particularly to magnetic toys.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for the quality of life have been increasing, and the concern for children's upbringing has also been increasing. In many families, the intellectual development of young children is given top priority. The market is flooded with various educational toys aimed at the intellectual development of young children, such as magnetic block toys.

[0003] Magnetic block toys are toys that assemble various magnetic blocks with magnetism to create various shapes. Young children can use their imagination to assemble them into their favorite models based on the shapes of various magnetic blocks. Currently, most magnetic blocks are non-removable. Non-removable magnetic block toys have the problem that it is difficult to determine the mounting position of the magnet, and the position of the magnetic block is likely to shift during assembly, which affects the ease of play.

[0004] Based on this, those skilled in the art have studied removable magnetic mounting structures. A magnetic coupling device disclosed in Chinese Patent CN2012104352960, filed on 8 May 2013, includes one or more magnetic housings, each magnetic housing including one or more magnets disposed inside it and rotating within the magnetic housing. The device is configured with one or more safety devices to prevent removal and / or access to the magnets. The device includes an internal retainer piece connected to one or more magnetic housings, and a first external housing piece and a second external housing piece connected to the internal retainer piece. The first external housing piece may be positioned in the coupling device opposite the second external housing piece such that the internal retainer piece is located between the first external housing piece and the second external housing piece. The first external housing piece and the second external housing piece are aligned and then connected by pins to the internal retainer piece.

[0005] Conventional technology has the following drawbacks: When the magnetic housing protrudes from the device and is connected to the device by pins or locking, the magnetic housing is prone to detachment, the magnet may come off and be accidentally swallowed by young children, and the connection part is exposed on the surface of the device, making it prone to damage and creating potential safety problems. If it is fixed with screws or the like, the surface integrity of the device is poor, making it prone to injuring young children and similarly creating potential safety problems. [Overview of the project]

[0006] To overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art, the present invention provides a magnetic toy with high performance in preventing separation of components, excellent surface integration, and improved safety.

[0007] Another objective of the present invention is to improve the bonding properties during the assembly of magnetic toys.

[0008] To achieve the above objective, the present invention employs the following technical means.

[0009] In a magnetic toy, which includes a toy body and a mounting assembly provided with a magnet and attached to the toy body such that at least a portion of the toy body has magnetic force, the mounting assembly includes a locking portion, the toy body is provided with a hollow portion, the locking portion is concealedly locked within the hollow portion so as to connect the toy body and the mounting assembly, and the outer surface of the mounting assembly and the surface of the toy body are smoothly transitioned.

[0010] The mounting assembly is equipped with a magnet, and the mounting assembly is attached to the toy body such that at least a portion of the toy body has magnetic force. This allows different toy bodies to be connected by magnetic force and combined into different shapes, which is beneficial for the intellectual development of young children.

[0011] The mounting assembly and the toy body are connected by a locking mechanism, making connection easy. The locking mechanism is concealed within the hollow section, not exposed, and difficult to separate, resulting in high resistance to separation of the magnetic toy.

[0012] Because the outer surface of the mounting assembly and the surface of the toy body transition smoothly, there are no sharp corners, and the attachment part is concealed within the hollow part, resulting in a highly integrated appearance for the magnetic toy, ensuring it will not harm young children and providing high safety.

[0013] Preferably, the direction of the engagement restriction of the engagement portion and the direction of the hollow portion are on the same straight line. In the direction of engagement restriction, the engagement portion cannot be separated from that direction after being engaged, the engagement portion needs to enter the hollow portion in order to be engaged, the engagement portion needs to separate from the hollow portion in order to release the engagement, and since the direction of the engagement restriction of the engagement portion and the direction of the hollow portion are on the same straight line, the engagement portion is difficult to release and has high separation prevention performance.

[0014] Preferably, the mounting assembly further includes a deformable member, which provides a displacement tolerance to the engagement portion so that the engagement portion is inserted into and engaged with the hollow portion. By providing the deformable member, the position of the engagement portion becomes adjustable and the assembly of the engagement portion becomes easier.

[0015] Preferably, the deformable member has a recess formed in it to create a bendable portion. The recess reduces the strength of that portion of the deformable member, making it easier to bend. As a result, the locking portion can rotate around the bendable portion, allowing for reliable adjustment of the locking portion's position and facilitating insertion and locking of the locking portion into the hollow portion.

[0016] Preferably, the engagement portion includes a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion that engage with each other, the engagement position of the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion is within a hollow portion, and when engaged, the mounting assembly tightens one side of the hollow portion. Molding an engagement structure within a hollow portion is a high process cost, and this preferred engagement portion includes an engageable first engagement portion and a second engagement portion, making it easy to mold and resulting in low molding costs. After the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are engaged, the mounting assembly can tighten one side of the hollow portion to connect the mounting assembly to the toy body, ensuring a secure connection.

[0017] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes a housing member, the housing member having a housing chamber for housing a magnet, the housing chamber having a mounting opening through which the magnet enters and exits, the first and second engagement portions being located on opposite sides of the mounting opening, and the mounting opening being closed when the first and second engagement portions are engaged. The magnet enters the housing chamber through the mounting opening and is easily mounted, the magnet can be removed and reused, and when the first and second engagement portions are engaged in the hollow portion, the mounting assembly tightens one side of the hollow portion, and since the mounting opening is located between the first and second engagement portions, the mounting opening is closed by one side of the hollow portion, preventing the magnet from separating and ensuring that the magnet is securely mounted.

[0018] Preferably, the deformable member includes a first connecting part that connects a first engagement part and a housing member, and a second connecting part that connects a second engagement part and a housing member, with a first recess and a second recess formed on opposing sides of the first and second connecting parts, respectively. The first and second recesses are located on opposing sides of the first and second connecting parts, respectively, so that they can not only serve as a deformable role for the deformable member to facilitate the attachment of the first and second engagement parts, but also ensure the integrity of the opposing sides of the first and second connecting parts, and after the first and second engagement parts are engaged in the hollow part, the complete surface structure of the first and second connecting parts is advantageous in ensuring the surface integrity of the magnetic toy and further improves the safety of the magnetic toy.

[0019] Preferably, the first engaging portion includes a first engaging block and an engaging plate extending from the first engaging block, the engaging plate being provided with protruding teeth; the second engaging portion includes a second engaging block and an engaging groove located within the second engaging block, the engaging groove and the protruding teeth being engaged; one of the first and second engaging blocks is provided with an insertion portion, the other of the first and second engaging blocks is provided with a receiving portion, the insertion portion and the receiving portion are inserted together so that the insertion direction is parallel to the engaging plate, and at least one of the first and second engaging blocks fills the end face of the hollow portion. The engagement between the first and second engagement portions includes both the engagement between the engagement groove and the protruding teeth, and the engagement between the insertion portion and the insertion portion. The engagement between the engagement groove and the protruding teeth prevents separation along the direction of the engagement plate, and the engagement between the insertion portion and the insertion portion prevents separation along the direction perpendicular to the engagement plate. The reliability of separation prevention through the engagement between the first and second engagement portions is high.

[0020] Preferably, an opening groove is formed in the toy body, a positioning pin is provided in the opening groove, a hollow portion is formed between the positioning pin and the bottom of the opening groove, and when the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are engaged, the mounting assembly tightens the positioning pin with an annular structure formed by the housing member, first connecting component, second connecting component, first engagement portion and second engagement portion. When the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are engaged, the mounting assembly can tighten the positioning pin and securely connect the toy body and the mounting assembly.

[0021] Preferably, the side of the positioning pin is located on the inside of the surface of the toy body so as to form a housing groove for accommodating the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the housing member, and the outer surface of the mounting assembly formed by the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the housing member is flush with the surface of the toy body. After the first and second engaging parts are engaged in the hollow part, the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the housing member are concealed and placed in the housing groove so that the outer surface of the mounting assembly is flush with the surface of the toy body, ensuring the surface integrity of the magnetic toy, resulting in a smooth appearance with no sharp protrusions or recesses, and high safety when young children are playing with it.

[0022] Preferably, the shape of the toy body is a flat, plate-like shape, and the mounting assembly is provided on the flat side of the toy body, which is an arc-shaped surface. The magnetic toy is a flat magnetic block, and multiple magnetic blocks are connected by magnetic force to form different shapes, which helps develop the intelligence of young children. The arc-shaped flat side allows the toy body to rotate easily around the flat side, and as a result, when different magnetic toys are attached to the flat side, they can be reliably connected by magnetic force at any angle.

[0023] Preferably, the flattened sides of the toy body are polygonal, and each flattened side includes the shortest plane, with the lengths of the other flattened sides being positive integer multiples of the length of the shortest plane. Different magnetic toys having the same shortest plane length can be securely joined together, with no large gaps after joining, which is advantageous for the intellectual development of young children.

[0024] Preferably, a plurality of mounting assemblies are provided along the length direction on the flat side surface, and the adjacent mounting assemblies are provided at equal intervals. The distances from the ends of the mounting assemblies located at both ends to the ends of their adjacent flat side surfaces are half of the distance between the adjacent mounting assemblies. The magnets in the plurality of mounting assemblies can all be connected by magnetic force, ensuring the stability when the magnetic toy is connected by magnetic force. Since the adjacent mounting assemblies on the flat side surface are provided at equal intervals, it is easy to assemble magnetic toys with the same size specification but different shapes.

[0025] Preferably, the shape of the magnet is a rotating body, and the magnetic poles of the magnet are distributed on both sides of the rotation axis of the magnet. A receiving chamber for accommodating the rotation of the magnet is provided in the mounting assembly. Since the magnet can rotate in the receiving chamber, the positions of the N pole and the S pole can rotate together with the toy body, ensuring the reliability of the magnetic force action.

[0027] To further clarify the object, technical means, and advantages of the present invention, the technical means in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments. Clearly, the embodiments described are only a part, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments that can be obtained based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work by those skilled in the art are all within the scope of the protection of the present invention.

[0028] The terms “including” and “having” in the specification and claims of this invention, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a method or product including a set of technical features is not limited to the explicitly indicated technical features, and may further include other technical features that are not explicitly indicated but are included in the method or product.

[0029] Furthermore, in the description of the present invention, technical features limited by terms that have an order concept, such as "first" and "second," are merely used to clearly explain the limited technical features in order to clearly distinguish them from other technical features, and do not indicate that they are actually named in that way when the invention is implemented. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 10, a magnetic toy according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a toy body 1 and a mounting assembly 2 provided with a magnet 302 and attached to the toy body 1 such that at least a portion of the toy body 1 has magnetic force. The mounting assembly 2 includes a locking portion 201, the toy body 1 is provided with a hollow portion 101, and the locking portion 201 is concealed and locked within the hollow portion 101 so as to connect the toy body 1 and the mounting assembly 2, and the outer surface of the mounting assembly 2 and the surface of the toy body 1 are smoothly transitioned.

[0031] In the means according to this embodiment, a magnet 302 is provided inside the mounting assembly 2, and the mounting assembly 2 is attached to the toy body 1 such that at least a portion of the toy body 1 has magnetic force. Different toy bodies 1 are connected by magnetic force and can be combined into different shapes, which is advantageous for the intellectual development of young children. The mounting assembly 2 and the toy body 1 are connected by a locking portion 201, which is easy to connect, and the locking portion 201 is concealed and locked inside the hollow portion 101, so it is not exposed and is difficult to separate, resulting in high separation prevention performance for the magnetic toy. Here, "the locking portion 201 is locked inside the hollow portion 101" includes not only the locking portion 201 being locked to the hollow portion 101, but also the fact that multiple members are locked to tighten one side of the hollow portion 101, and the locking positions of the multiple members are inside the hollow portion 101. The outer surface of the mounting assembly 2 and the surface of the toy body 1 transition smoothly, so there are no sharp corners, and the engaging portion 201 is concealed and engaged within the hollow portion 101, resulting in a highly integrated appearance for the magnetic toy, ensuring it will not injure young children and providing high safety. Smooth transition includes, but is not limited to, cases where arcuate surfaces are in contact or planes are flush. The toy body 1 may have any shape, and in this embodiment, the shape of the toy body 1 is a flat plate; in other words, the magnetic toy is a magnetic block, and the stackability of the magnetic blocks is fully utilized to ensure lightness. All corners of the toy body 1 are rounded, avoiding sharp protrusions that could injure young children and ensuring safety.

[0032] A magnetic toy according to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, includes a toy body 1 and a mounting assembly 2 provided with a magnet 302 and attached to the toy body 1 such that at least a portion of the toy body 1 has magnetic force. The mounting assembly 2 includes a locking portion 201, the toy body 1 is provided with a hollow portion 101, the locking portion 201 is concealed and locked within the hollow portion 101 so as to connect the toy body 1 and the mounting assembly 2, and the outer surface of the mounting assembly 2 and the surface of the toy body 1 are smoothly transitioned. The locking limiting direction of the locking portion 201 and the hollow direction of the hollow portion 101 are on the same straight line. As shown in Figure 1, the hollow portion 101 is a straight groove, and a positioning pin 102 is located on one side of the hollow portion 101. The engaging portion 201 includes a first engaging portion 403 and a second engaging portion 503 that engage with each other. The engagement position of the first engaging portion 403 and the second engaging portion 503 is located within the hollow portion 101, and when engaged, the mounting assembly 2 tightens one side of the hollow portion 101, i.e., the positioning pin 102. When the first engaging portion 403 and the second engaging portion 503 are engaged, they are inserted into the hollow portion 101 with a straight groove structure, and in the engagement restriction direction, they cannot be separated from the linear direction where the straight groove is located after the engaging portion 201 is engaged, resulting in high separation prevention performance.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting assembly 2 further includes a deformable member, which provides the locking portion 201 with a displacement tolerance so that the locking portion 201 can be inserted into and locked into the hollow portion 101. By providing the deformable member, the position of the locking portion 201 becomes adjustable and the locking assembly of the locking portion 201 becomes easier. The deformable member has a thin plate structure and has a certain elastic deformation capacity, and furthermore, a recess is formed in the deformable member to form a bendable portion. The recess reduces the strength of that portion of the deformable member, making it easier to bend, thereby allowing the locking portion 201 to rotate around the bendable portion to reliably adjust the position of the locking portion 201 and facilitating insertion and locking of the locking portion 201 into the hollow portion 101.

[0034] Forming the interlocking structure within the hollow portion 101 would incur high process costs. However, the interlocking portion 201 in this embodiment includes an engageable first interlocking portion 403 and a second interlocking portion 503, making it easy to form and resulting in low molding costs. After the first interlocking portion 403 and the second interlocking portion 503 are engaged, the mounting assembly 2 can tighten one side of the hollow portion 101 to connect the mounting assembly 2 and the toy body 1, ensuring a secure connection. Furthermore, the deformable member includes a first connecting part 401 that connects the first interlocking portion 403 and the housing member 3, and a second connecting part 501 that connects the second interlocking portion 503 and the housing member 3. A first recess 402 and a second recess 502 are formed on the opposing sides of the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 501, respectively. The first recess 402 is located at the connection point between the first connecting part 401 and the housing member 3, and the second recess 502 is located at the connection point between the second connecting part 501 and the housing member 3. Both the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 501 use a thin plate structure and have elastic deformation capability. The first recess 402 and the second recess 502 are located on opposing sides of the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 501, respectively. This not only allows them to act as deformable members to facilitate the attachment of the first engaging part 403 and the second engaging part 503, but also ensures the integrity of the opposing sides of the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 501. After the first engaging part 403 and the second engaging part 503 are engaged within the hollow part 101, the complete surface structure of the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 501 is advantageous in ensuring the surface integrity of the magnetic toy and further improves the safety of the magnetic toy.

[0035] As a simple alternative to the above method, the recess is replaced with one made of an elastic material so that the engaging portion 201 has a range of motion.

[0036] As another simple alternative to the above means, the deformable member can be a rod member, the rod member having its bending ability as its elastic deformation capacity, and similarly playing a role in providing a displacement tolerance to the locking portion 201.

[0037] The mounting assembly 2 includes a housing member 3, which has a housing chamber 301 for housing the magnet 302. The housing chamber 301 is provided with a mounting opening through which the magnet 302 enters and exits. The first engaging portion 403 and the second engaging portion 503 are located on opposite sides of the mounting opening, and the mounting opening is closed when the first engaging portion 403 and the second engaging portion 503 are engaged. The magnet 302 enters the housing chamber 301 from the mounting opening and is easily mounted. The magnet 302 can be removed and reused. When the first engaging portion 403 and the second engaging portion 503 are engaged in the hollow portion 101, the mounting assembly 2 tightens one side of the hollow portion 101. Since the mounting opening is located between the first engaging portion 403 and the second engaging portion 503, the mounting opening is closed by one side of the hollow portion 101, preventing the magnet 302 from separating and ensuring that the magnet 302 is securely mounted. The magnet 302 has the shape of a rotating body, and its magnetic poles are distributed on both sides of its axis of rotation. A housing chamber 301 for accommodating the rotation of the magnet 302 is provided within the mounting assembly 2. The rotating body includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder, an annular body, and a sphere, and the north and south poles of the rotating body are arranged to be divided in half.

[0038] In a magnetic toy according to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the first engagement portion 403 includes a first engagement block 404 and an engagement plate 405 extending from the first engagement block 404. The engagement plate 405 is provided with protruding teeth 406 located at the outer end of the engagement plate 405, and the engagement plate 405 forms a cantilever structure with respect to the first engagement block 404, has a certain degree of deflection, and is elastically deformable. The second engagement portion 503 includes a second engagement block 504 and an engagement groove 505 located within the second engagement block 504. The engagement groove 505 and the convex tooth 406 engage. The engagement groove 505 includes a through groove 506 and a slide groove 507. When the convex tooth 406 engages with the engagement groove 505, it slides along the slide groove 507 to the through groove 506. The shape of the convex tooth 406 is a rectangular prism with a right-angled trapezoidal cross-section. The inclined surface of the convex tooth 406 faces outward, facilitating engagement between the convex tooth 406 and the engagement groove 505. After the convex tooth 406 and the engagement groove 505 engage, the right-angle surface of the convex tooth 406 abuts against one side of the through groove 506, locking into place. The first engaging block 404 is provided with an insertion portion 407, and the second engaging block 504 is provided with a receiving portion 508. The insertion portion 407 and the receiving portion 508 are inserted into each other, with the insertion direction parallel to the engaging plate 405. In this embodiment, the insertion portion 407 is located on the edge of the first engaging block 404 and is a rectangular prism extending along the edge of the first engaging block 404, while the receiving portion 508 is a notched groove located on the edge of the second engaging block 504. When the convex tooth 406 and the engaging groove 505 are engaged, the insertion portion 407 is inserted into the receiving portion 508 and engages with it. The end face sizes of the first engagement block 404 and the second engagement block 504 are the same as the end face size of the hollow portion 101. When the convex teeth 406 and the engagement groove 505 are engaged, the first engagement block 404 and the second engagement block 504 fill the end faces of the hollow portion 101 so that there is no gap at the location of the hollow portion 101 on the surface of the magnetic toy, thereby ensuring the safety of the magnetic toy.The engagement between the first engaging portion 403 and the second engaging portion 503 includes both the engagement between the engaging groove 505 and the convex teeth 406, and the engagement between the insertion portion 407 and the inserted portion 508. The engagement between the engaging groove 505 and the convex teeth 406 prevents separation along the direction of the engaging plate 405, and the engagement between the insertion portion 407 and the inserted portion 508 prevents separation along the direction perpendicular to the engaging plate 405. The reliability of the separation prevention through the engagement between the first engaging portion 403 and the second engaging portion 503 is high.

[0039] As a simple alternative to the above means, the size of one end face of the first engaging block 404 or the second engaging block 504 is the same as the size of the end face of the hollow portion 101, and the size of the other end face of the first engaging block 404 or the second engaging block 504 is smaller than the size of the end face of the hollow portion 101. If the size of one end face is the same as the size of the end face of the hollow portion 101, the mounting assembly 2 and the toy body 1 can be positioned to prevent misalignment of the mounting assembly 2. The gap of the smaller engaging block can be filled by filling the edge with a silicone pad.

[0040] In one embodiment of the hollow section 101, an opening groove 103 is formed in the toy body 1, and a positioning pin 102 is provided inside the opening groove 103. The positioning pin 102 is shaped like a rectangular prism, and both ends of the positioning pin 102 are connected to the opposing side walls of the opening groove 103. A hollow section 101 is formed between the positioning pin 102 and the bottom of the opening groove 103, and when the first engaging portion 403 and the second engaging portion 503 are engaged, the mounting assembly 2 tightens the positioning pin 102 with an annular structure formed by the housing member 3, the first connecting part 401, the second connecting part 501, the first engaging portion 403, and the second engaging portion 503. The side of the positioning pin 102 is located on the inside of the surface of the toy body 1 so as to form a housing groove 104 that accommodates the first connecting part 401, the second connecting part 501, and the housing member 3, and the outer surface of the mounting assembly 2 formed by the first connecting part 401, the second connecting part 501, and the housing member 3 is flush with the surface of the toy body 1. After the first engaging part 403 and the second engaging part 503 are engaged in the hollow part 101, the first connecting part 401, the second connecting part 501, and the housing member 3 are concealed in the housing groove 104 so that the outer surface of the mounting assembly 2 is flush with the surface of the toy body 1, ensuring the surface integrity of the magnetic toy, resulting in a smooth appearance with no sharp protrusions or recesses, and high safety when young children are playing with it.

[0041] When a magnetic toy is used as a magnetic block, the shape of the toy body 1 is a flat plate, and the mounting assembly 2 is attached to the flat side surface 105 of the toy body 1, which is an arc-shaped surface. The flat side surface 105 of the toy body 1 is polygonal, and the flat side surface 105 includes the shortest plane, and the length of the other flat side surfaces 105 is a positive integer multiple of the length of the shortest plane. The magnetic toy is a flat magnetic block, and multiple magnetic blocks are connected by magnetic force to form different shapes, which helps develop the intelligence of young children. The arc-shaped structure of the flat side surface 105 makes it easy for the toy body 1 to rotate around the flat side surface 105, so that when different magnetic toys are attached to the flat side surface 105, they can be reliably connected by magnetic force at any angle. Different magnetic toys with the same shortest plane length can be reliably joined together, and there are no large gaps after joining, which is advantageous for the intellectual development of young children. The outer end surface of the housing member 3 is also an arcuate surface, and the housing member 3 and the flattened side surface 105 on which it is located are flush.

[0042] In the magnetic toy shown in Figure 1 or Figure 7, the flattened side surface 105 of the toy body 1 is square, and all sides of the toy body 1 are the shortest surfaces.

[0043] In the magnetic toy shown in Figure 9, the flattened side surface 105 of the toy body 1 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the legs and short side of the isosceles trapezoid are of equal length and form the shortest plane, and the long side of the isosceles trapezoid is twice the length of the short side, and if the lengths of the shortest planes of the means shown in Figures 1 and 7 are equal, it is clear that the two magnetic toys shown in Figure 1 are assembled on the flattened side surface 105 where the long side of the magnetic toy shown in Figure 7 is located.

[0044] In the magnetic toy shown in Figure 10, the flattened side surface 105 of the toy body 1 is an equilateral triangle.

[0045] Multiple mounting assemblies 2 are provided along the length of the flat side surface 105, and adjacent mounting assemblies 2 are provided at equal intervals. The distance from the mounting assemblies 2 located at both ends to the ends of the adjacent flat side surface 105 is half the distance between adjacent mounting assemblies 2. The distance between adjacent mounting assemblies is the distance between the centers of adjacent mounting assemblies. The magnets 302 in the multiple mounting assemblies 2 can all be connected by magnetic force, ensuring stability when magnetic toys are connected by magnetic force. Because adjacent mounting assemblies 2 on the flat side surface 105 are provided at equal intervals, it becomes easy to assemble magnetic toys that have the same size specifications but different shapes.

[0046] In the embodiment shown in Figure 9, two mounting assemblies 2 are provided on the three shortest faces, and four mounting assemblies 2 are provided on the flattened side surface 105 corresponding to the long side of the isosceles trapezoid. The magnetic toy shown in Figure 10 and the magnetic toy shown in Figure 9 can be assembled if the lengths of their shortest faces are equal. The magnetic toy shown in Figure 10 can be assembled one-to-one with the shortest face of the magnetic toy shown in Figure 9, and both magnetic toys shown in Figure 10 can be assembled on the flattened side surface 105 corresponding to the long side of the isosceles trapezoid.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the distance between adjacent mounting assemblies on the same flattened side is half the length of the shortest side.

[0048] In all examples of magnetic toys according to the present invention, friction patterns 106 are formed inside the magnetic toy, which not only improves the aesthetic appearance but also enhances the frictional force, making it easier for young children to pick up. In the embodiments shown in Figures 7 and 8, the friction patterns 106 are approximately petal-shaped, and in the embodiments shown in Figures 9 and 10, the friction patterns 106 are triangular or approximately triangular.
