Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of children's toys, in particular to magnetic toys. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for quality of life has been increasing, and the interest in raising children has also been increasing, and many families consider the intellectual development of young children to be a top priority. The market is flooded with various educational toys, such as magnetic building blocks, aimed at the intellectual development of young children.

[0003] Magnetic block toys are toys in which various magnetic blocks are assembled to create various shapes, and young children can use their imagination to assemble the various magnetic block shapes to create their favorite models. Currently, most magnetic blocks are non-detachable, and non-detachable magnetic block toys have the problem that it is difficult to determine the installation position of the magnets, and the magnetic blocks are easily misaligned during assembly, which affects the ease of play.

[0004] Based on this, those skilled in the art have been researching detachable magnetic attachment structures. Chinese Patent CN2012104352960, filed on May 8, 2013, discloses a magnetic connector device including one or more magnetic housings, each of which includes one or more magnets disposed therein and rotates within the housing. The device is configured with one or more safety devices to prevent removal of and / or access to the magnets. The device includes an internal retainer piece connected to the 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 on the connector device opposite the second external housing piece, with the internal retainer piece positioned between the first and second external housing pieces. After the first and second external housing pieces are aligned, they are connected by the internal retainer piece via a pin.

[0005] The prior art has the following drawbacks: When the magnetic housing protrudes from the device and is connected to the device by a pin or by fastening, the magnetic housing is easily separated, which can lead to the magnet becoming detached and being accidentally swallowed by a small child; and because the connection is exposed on the surface of the device, it is easily damaged, creating a potential safety hazard. When fastened with screws or the like, the surface integrity of the device is poor, making it more likely to injure a small child, also creating a potential safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to overcome the above drawbacks of the prior art, the present invention provides a magnetic toy that has high performance in preventing separation of components, excellent surface integrity, and improved safety.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to improve the joinability during assembly of a magnetic toy.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses the following technical means.

[0009] In a magnetic toy including a toy body and an attachment assembly provided with a magnet and attached to the toy body so that at least a portion of the toy body has magnetic force, the attachment assembly includes an attachment portion, the toy body is provided with a hollow portion, the attachment portion is concealedly attached within the hollow portion so as to connect the toy body and the attachment assembly, and there is a smooth transition between the outer surface of the attachment assembly and the surface of the toy body.

[0010] A magnet is provided within the mounting assembly, and the mounting assembly is attached to the toy body so that at least a portion of the toy body has magnetic force, allowing different toy bodies to be connected by magnetic force and combined into different shapes, which is beneficial to the intellectual development of young children.

[0011] The mounting assembly and the toy body are fastened and connected by the fastening part, and are easy to connect; the fastening part is concealedly fastened within the hollow part, is not exposed, and is difficult to separate, so that the magnetic toy has high separation prevention performance.

[0012] The outer surface of the mounting assembly and the surface of the toy body transition smoothly, so there are no sharp corners, and the fastening part is concealedly fastened within the hollow part, so the magnetic toy has excellent external integrity, does not injure young children, and is highly safe.

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

[0014] Preferably, the mounting assembly further includes a deformable member, which provides a displacement allowance for the fastening portion so that the fastening portion can be inserted into the hollow portion and fastened thereto. By providing the deformable member, the position of the fastening portion can be adjusted, facilitating assembly of the fastening portion.

[0015] Preferably, a recess is formed in the deformable member to form a bendable portion. The recess reduces the strength of the portion of the deformable member, making the portion easier to bend, and the engaging portion can rotate around the bendable portion, allowing the position of the engaging portion to be reliably adjusted, facilitating insertion and engagement of the engaging portion into the hollow portion.

[0016] Preferably, the attachment portion includes a first attachment portion and a second attachment portion that are engaged with each other, the attachment position of the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion being within the hollow portion, and the attachment assembly tightens one side of the hollow portion when engaged. Molding an attachment structure within the hollow portion requires high process costs, but the preferred attachment portion includes an engageable first attachment portion and a second attachment portion, making molding easy and reducing molding costs. After the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion are engaged, the attachment assembly can tighten one side of the hollow portion to connect the attachment assembly to the toy body, ensuring a secure connection.

[0017] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes a housing member, a housing chamber for housing a magnet, a mounting opening for allowing the magnet to enter and exit, the first and second mounting portions being located on opposite sides of the mounting opening, and the mounting opening being blocked when the first and second mounting portions are engaged. The magnet enters the housing through the mounting opening and is easily mounted, and the magnet can be removed and reused. When the first and second mounting portions are engaged within the hollow portion, the mounting assembly clamps one side of the hollow portion, and the mounting opening is located between the first and second mounting portions, so that the mounting opening is blocked by the one side of the hollow portion, preventing the magnet from separating and ensuring reliable mounting of the magnet.

[0018] Preferably, the deformable member includes a first connecting part connecting the first fastening part and the housing member and a second connecting part connecting the second fastening part and the housing member, and the first connecting part and the second connecting part have first and second recesses formed on opposing sides thereof, respectively. The first and second recesses are located on opposing sides of the first connecting part and the second connecting part, respectively, thereby not only fulfilling the deformation role of the deformable member to facilitate the attachment of the first fastening part and the second fastening part, but also ensuring the integrity of the opposing sides of the first connecting part and the second connecting part. After the first fastening part and the second fastening part are engaged in the hollow part, the complete surface structure of the first connecting part and the second connecting part is beneficial to ensuring the surface integrity of the magnetic toy and further improving the safety of the magnetic toy.

[0019] Preferably, the first engagement portion includes a first engagement block and an engagement plate extending from the first engagement block, the engagement plate having convex teeth, the second engagement portion includes a second engagement block and an engagement groove located in the second engagement block, the engagement groove and the convex teeth are engaged, one of the first engagement block and the second engagement block has an insertion portion, the other of the first engagement block and the second engagement block has an inserted portion, the insertion portion and the inserted portion are inserted, the insertion direction is parallel to the engagement plate, and at least one of the first engagement block and the second engagement block fills the end face of the hollow portion. The engagement between the first and second engagement portions includes both engagement between the engagement groove and the convex teeth and engagement between the insertion portion and the inserted portion. The engagement between the engagement groove and the convex teeth prevents separation along the direction of the engagement plate, and the engagement between the insertion portion and the inserted portion prevents separation along a direction perpendicular to the engagement plate, making the engagement between the first and second engagement portions highly reliable in preventing separation.

[0020] Preferably, the toy body has an open groove formed therein, a positioning pin provided in the open groove, a hollow portion formed between the positioning pin and the bottom of the open groove, and when the first and second fastening parts are engaged with each other, the mounting assembly fastens the positioning pin by means of a ring-shaped structure formed by the accommodating member, the first connecting part, the second connecting part, the first fastening part, and the second fastening part. When the first and second fastening parts are engaged with each other, the mounting assembly fastens the positioning pin to securely connect the toy body and the mounting assembly.

[0021] Preferably, the side of the positioning pin is located inside the surface of the toy body so as to form an accommodation groove for accommodating the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the accommodation member, and the outer surface of the mounting assembly formed by the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the accommodation member is flush with the surface of the toy body. After the first and second fastening parts are engaged in the hollow part, the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the accommodation member are concealedly disposed in the accommodation 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 and making it smooth and free of sharp protrusions and recesses, making it safe for young children to play with.

[0022] Preferably, the toy body has a flat, plate-like shape, the attachment assembly is provided on the flat side of the toy body, and the flat side of the toy body has 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 develops young children's intelligence. The arc-shaped flat side makes it easy for the toy body to rotate around the flat side, so that when different magnetic toys are attached to the flat side, they can be reliably connected by magnetic force at any angle.

[0023] Preferably, the flat side of the toy body is polygonal, the flat side includes a shortest side, and the lengths of the other flat sides are positive integer multiples of the length of the shortest side. Different magnetic toys with shortest sides of the same length can be securely joined together without any large gaps after joining, which is more beneficial to the intellectual development of young children.

[0024] Preferably, the flat side has a plurality of mounting assemblies arranged along its length, with adjacent mounting assemblies arranged at equal intervals, and the distance between the mounting assemblies at both ends to the ends of the adjacent flat side is half the distance between the adjacent mounting assemblies. The magnets in the multiple mounting assemblies can all be connected by magnetic force, ensuring stability when magnetic toys are connected by magnetic force, and since adjacent mounting assemblies on the flat side are arranged at equal intervals, it is easy to assemble magnetic toys of the same size but different shapes.

[0025] Preferably, the magnet is a rotating body, with its magnetic poles distributed on both sides of the magnet's rotation axis, and a chamber for accommodating the rotation of the magnet is provided within the mounting assembly. By allowing the magnet to rotate within the chamber, the positions of the north and south poles can rotate together with the toy body, ensuring the reliability of the magnetic force.

[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 an attachment assembly 2 provided with a magnet 302 and attached to the toy body 1 so that at least a portion of the toy body 1 has magnetic force, the attachment assembly 2 includes an attachment portion 201, the toy body 1 is provided with a hollow portion 101, the attachment portion 201 is concealedly attached within the hollow portion 101 so that the toy body 1 and the attachment assembly 2 are connected, and there is a smooth transition between the outer surface of the attachment assembly 2 and the surface of the toy body 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, a magnet 302 is provided within the mounting assembly 2, and the mounting assembly 2 is attached to the toy body 1 so that at least a portion of the toy body 1 has magnetic properties. This allows different toy bodies 1 to be connected by magnetic force and combined into different shapes, which is beneficial to the intellectual development of young children. The mounting assembly 2 and the toy body 1 are connected and attached by the fastening portion 201, making them easy to connect, and the fastening portion 201 is concealedly fastened within the hollow portion 101 so that it is not exposed and is difficult to separate, thereby improving the separation prevention performance of the magnetic toy. Here, "the fastening portion 201 is fastened within the hollow portion 101" does not only include the fastening portion 201 being fastened to the hollow portion 101, but also includes multiple components being fastened to clamp one side of the hollow portion 101 and the fastening positions of the multiple components being within the hollow portion 101. The smooth transition between the outer surface of the mounting assembly 2 and the surface of the toy body 1 eliminates sharp corners. Furthermore, the fastening portion 201 is concealedly fastened within the hollow portion 101, resulting in a uniform appearance of the magnetic toy and a high level of safety for young children. Smooth transitions include, but are not limited to, cases where arcuate surfaces meet or flat surfaces meet. The toy body 1 may have any shape. In this embodiment, the toy body 1 is shaped like a flat plate. This means that the magnetic toy is made of magnetic blocks, which fully utilizes the stacking properties of magnetic blocks to ensure lightweight construction. All corners of the toy body 1 are rounded to prevent sharp protrusions from injuring young children and ensure safety.

[0032] 1 to 5, a magnetic toy according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a toy body 1 and an attachment assembly 2 provided with a magnet 302 and attached to the toy body 1 so that at least a partial area of ​​the toy body 1 has magnetic force, the attachment assembly 2 including an attachment portion 201, the toy body 1 being provided with a hollow portion 101, the attachment portion 201 being concealedly attached within the hollow portion 101 so as to connect the toy body 1 and the attachment assembly 2, and there is a smooth transition between the outer surface of the attachment assembly 2 and the surface of the toy body 1. The attachment limiting direction of the attachment portion 201 and the hollow direction of the hollow portion 101 are on the same straight line. As shown in FIG. 1 , hollow portion 101 has a straight groove and a positioning pin 102 on one side of hollow portion 101. Attachment portion 201 includes a first attachment portion 403 and a second attachment portion 503 that are engaged with each other. The engagement position of first attachment portion 403 and second attachment portion 503 is within hollow portion 101. When engaged, mounting assembly 2 tightens one side of hollow portion 101, i.e., positioning pin 102. When first attachment portion 403 and second attachment portion 503 are engaged, first attachment portion 403 and second attachment portion 503 are inserted into hollow portion 101 with a straight groove structure, and cannot be separated from the linear direction of the straight groove in the engagement restriction direction after attachment portion 201 is engaged, thereby providing high separation prevention performance.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting assembly 2 further includes a deformable member, which provides the fastening portion 201 with a displacement allowance so that the fastening portion 201 can be inserted into and engaged with the hollow portion 101. By providing the deformable member, the position of the fastening portion 201 can be adjusted, facilitating assembly and engagement of the fastening portion 201. The deformable member has a thin plate structure and has a certain degree of elastic deformation ability. Furthermore, the deformable member has a recess formed therein to form a bendable portion. The recess reduces the strength of that portion of the deformable member, making that portion easier to bend. As a result, the fastening portion 201 can rotate about the bendable portion, allowing the position of the fastening portion 201 to be reliably adjusted, facilitating insertion and engagement of the fastening portion 201 with respect to the hollow portion 101.

[0034] Molding an attachment structure within the hollow portion 101 requires high process costs, but the attachment portion 201 of this embodiment includes an engageable first attachment portion 403 and a second attachment portion 503, which makes molding easy and reduces molding costs. After the first attachment portion 403 and the second attachment portion 503 are engaged, the mounting assembly 2 can be fastened to one side of the hollow portion 101 to connect the mounting assembly 2 to the toy body 1, ensuring a secure connection. Furthermore, the deformable member includes a first connecting part 401 connecting the first attachment portion 403 and the receiving member 3, and a second connecting part 501 connecting the second attachment portion 503 and the receiving member 3, and a first recess 402 and a second recess 502 are formed on opposite 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 receiving member 3, and the second recess 502 is located at the connection point between the second connecting part 501 and the receiving member 3. Both the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 501 are made of thin plate structures and have elastic deformation ability. The first recess 402 and the second recess 502 are located on opposite sides of the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 501, respectively, which not only serves to deform the deformable member to facilitate the installation of the first fastening part 403 and the second fastening 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 fastening part 403 and the second fastening part 503 are engaged in the hollow part 101, the complete surface structure of the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 501 is beneficial to ensuring the surface integrity of the magnetic toy and further improving the safety of the magnetic toy.

[0035] As a simple alternative to the above means, the recesses can be replaced with ones made of elastic material so that the fastening portion 201 has some movement capacity.

[0036] As another simple alternative to the above means, the deformable member may be a rod member, the deflection of which is its elastic deformation capacity, and which may also serve to provide displacement capacity for the fastening portion 201.

[0037] The mounting assembly 2 includes a receiving member 3, which defines a receiving chamber 301 for receiving a magnet 302. The receiving chamber 301 has a mounting opening through which the magnet 302 enters and exits. The first and second mounting portions 403 and 503 are located on opposite sides of the mounting opening, and the mounting opening is blocked when the first and second mounting portions 403 and 503 are engaged. The magnet 302 enters the receiving chamber 301 through the mounting opening for easy installation. The magnet 302 can be removed and reused. When the first and second mounting portions 403 and 503 are engaged within the hollow portion 101, the mounting assembly 2 clamps one side of the hollow portion 101, and the mounting opening is located between the first and second mounting portions 403 and 503, so that the mounting opening is blocked by the one side of the hollow portion 101, preventing the magnet 302 from separating and ensuring a reliable installation. The magnet 302 has a shape of a rotating body, and the magnetic poles of the magnet 302 are distributed on both sides of the rotation axis of the magnet 302. A receiving chamber 301 for receiving the rotation of the magnet 302 is provided in the mounting assembly 2. The rotating body may be a cylinder, a torus, a sphere, etc., but is not limited to these, and the north pole and south pole of the rotating body are arranged so as to be divided into halves.

[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, and the engagement plate 405 is provided with convex teeth 406 which are 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 deflection, and is elastically deformable. The second engaging portion 503 includes a second engaging block 504 and an engaging groove 505 located within the second engaging block 504, the engaging groove 505 engaging with the convex tooth 406, the engaging groove 505 including a through groove 506 and a sliding groove 507, the convex tooth 406 sliding along the sliding groove 507 to the through groove 506 when engaged with the engaging groove 505, 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 facing outward, facilitating the engagement between the convex tooth 406 and the engaging groove 505, after the convex tooth 406 engages with the engaging groove 505, the right-angled surface of the convex tooth 406 abuts one side of the through groove 506 to be engaged and locked. The first engaging block 404 is provided with an insertion portion 407, and the second engaging block 504 is provided with an inserted portion 508. The insertion portion 407 and the inserted portion 508 are inserted together, 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, and the inserted 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 inserted portion 508 and engages with it. The end face sizes of the first engaging block 404 and the second engaging block 504 are both the same as the end face size of the hollow portion 101, and when the convex teeth 406 and the engaging grooves 505 are engaged, the first engaging block 404 and the second engaging block 504 both fill the end face of the hollow portion 101 so that there are no gaps at the position 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 engagement portion 403 and the second engagement portion 503 includes both the engagement between the engagement groove 505 and the convex tooth 406 and the engagement between the insertion portion 407 and the inserted portion 508. The engagement between the engagement groove 505 and the convex tooth 406 prevents separation along the direction of the engagement plate 405, and the engagement between the insertion portion 407 and the inserted portion 508 prevents separation along a direction perpendicular to the engagement plate 405. This provides a high reliability in preventing separation through the engagement between the first engagement portion 403 and the second engagement portion 503.

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

[0040] In one embodiment of the hollow portion 101, an open groove 103 is formed in the toy body 1, and a positioning pin 102 is provided in the open groove 103. The positioning pin 102 has a rectangular prism shape, and both ends of the positioning pin 102 are connected to opposite side walls of the open groove 103. A hollow portion 101 is formed between the positioning pin 102 and the bottom of the open groove 103, and when the first engaging portion 403 and the second engaging portion 503 are engaged with each other, the mounting assembly 2 fastens the positioning pin 102 by means of the annular structure formed by the accommodating 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 inside the surface of the toy body 1 to form an accommodating groove 104 for accommodating the first connecting part 401, the second connecting part 501, and the receiving 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 receiving member 3 is flush with the surface of the toy body 1. After the first fastening part 403 and the second fastening part 503 are engaged in the hollow part 101, the first connecting part 401, the second connecting part 501, and the receiving member 3 are concealedly positioned in the accommodating 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 and making it smooth and free of sharp protrusions and recesses, making it safe for young children to play with.

[0041] When the magnetic toy is used as a magnetic block, the toy body 1 has a flat, plate-like shape, and the mounting assembly 2 is attached to the flat side 105 of the toy body 1, which has an arc-shaped surface. The flat side 105 of the toy body 1 is polygonal, including the shortest side, and the lengths of the other flat sides 105 are positive integer multiples of the length of the shortest side. The magnetic toy is a flat magnetic block, and multiple magnetic blocks are magnetically connected to form different shapes, which helps develop young children's intelligence. The arc-shaped flat side 105 makes it easy for the toy body 1 to rotate around the flat side 105, so when different magnetic toys are attached to the flat side 105, they can be reliably connected by magnetic force at any angle. Different magnetic toys with shortest sides of the same length can be reliably connected, without any large gaps after joining, which is more beneficial to young children's intelligence development. The outer end surface of the housing member 3 is also an arcuate surface, and the housing member 3 and the flat side surface 105 on which it is located are flush with each other.

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

[0043] In the magnetic toy shown in Figure 9, the flat side 105 of the toy body 1 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the legs and short sides of the isosceles trapezoid are of equal length and are the shortest side, and the long side of the isosceles trapezoid is twice the length of the short side.It is clear that if the lengths of the shortest sides of the means shown in Figures 1 and 7 are equal, the two magnetic toys shown in Figure 1 can be assembled to the flat side 105 where the long side of the magnetic toy shown in Figure 7 is located.

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

[0045] A plurality of mounting assemblies 2 are provided along the length of the flat side 105, with adjacent mounting assemblies 2 spaced equally apart, and the distance between the mounting assemblies 2 at both ends and the ends of their adjacent flat side 105 is half the distance between the 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, and since adjacent mounting assemblies 2 on the flat side 105 are spaced equally apart, it is easy to assemble magnetic toys of the same size but different shapes.

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

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

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

[0049] To ensure the safety of the magnetic toy, the corners of the polygon enclosed by the flat side 105 of the toy body 1 must be rounded. Here, the length of the flat side 105 and the length of the shortest side are the lengths when the corners of the polygon are not rounded. The distance to the end of the flat side 105 of the mounting assembly 2 is the length when the corners of the polygon are not rounded. [Explanation of symbols]
