Claims
1. A variety combining block, comprising: a first block unit having
a through hole on a center thereof, at least one tooth within the
through hole, and at least one groove on periphery of the first
block unit; a second block unit having at least one groove on
periphery thereof and at least one perforation installed on a
projection between adjacent grooves, wherein the second block unit
is inserted into the through hole of the first block unit, and the
perforation is jointed to the tooth of the first block unit;
whereby the first block unit and the second block unit are jointed
to each other by the grooves on their peripheries, and the same
first block unit or second block unit is jointed to each other by
grooves thereof, respectively and where a plurality of first and
second block units can be connected to build larger order
structures.
2. The variety combining block according to claim 1, wherein the
first block unit in a shape of gear.
3. The variety combining block according to claim 1, wherein the
second block unit in a shape of gear.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] a) Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a variety combining block
and more particularly to a game apparatus comprising a block unit
in the shape of gear, which can be jointed to each other to form
various game apparatus.
[0003] b) Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Most conventional blocks are only equipped with functions of
assembling and stacking. Although children can enjoy fun of game
when stacking and assembling the blocks, a basic mechanical
principle of fitting the blocks with gears is not available to
trigger a sense of touch and a visual feeling for the children;
therefore, the conventional blocks are unable to increase a
sensitivity of sense and enriched creativity for the children.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a
variety combining block, comprising a combining block formed of
first block unit and second block unit in the shape of gears;
wherein a center of the first block unit is provided with a
circular through hole, and the second block unit can be fitted by
the through hole. Further, the peripheries of the first block unit
and the second block unit both are provided with grooves, the
different block units cannot only be joint to each other, the same
block units can also be joint to each other to form various game
apparatus, thereby achieving a purpose of incorporating teaching
with play.
[0006] To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and
the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief
description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed
description of the preferred embodiments.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of the present invention.
[0008] FIG. 2 shows an exploded elevational view of the present
invention.
[0009] FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of a first embodiment of the
present invention.
[0010] FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of a second embodiment of the
present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0011] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the variety combining block
of the present invention comprises: a first block unit 10 in a
shape of gear, whereby a center of the first block unit 10 is
provided with a circular through hole 11 with at least one tooth
111. The periphery of the first block unit 10 is provided with at
least one groove 12; and a second block unit 20 in a shape of gear,
whereby a periphery of the second block unit 20 is provided with at
least one groove 21, and at least one perforation 221 is installed
on a projection 22 between the adjacent grooves 21. Further, the
second block unit 20 can be inserted into the through hole 11 of
the first block unit 10, whereby the tooth 111 of the first block
unit 10 is jointed in the perforation 221 of the second block unit
20.
[0012] Referring to FIG. 3, two sets of the same structures of the
first block units 10 of the present invention are jointed by the
grooves 12 between the first block units 10 to form a game
combination.
[0013] Referring to FIG. 4, a plurality of the first block units 10
of the present invention are not only jointed to each other by
means as shown in FIG. 3, the through hole 11 on the center of the
first block unit 10 is also jointed to the second block unit 20.
Furthermore, the groove 12 on the periphery of the first block unit
10 is jointed to the groove 21 on the periphery of the second block
unit 20; and the same second block units 20 are jointed to each
other by the grooves 21 on the peripheries thereof to form various
block combinations.
[0014] Conclusive from the above, in accordance with the above
description of the embodiments of the present invention, the
arrangement and combination of the first block unit and the second
block unit having two different shapes can allow the children to
stack into all kinds of various shapes, which not only can enable
the children to develop creativity of stacking the blocks, but can
enlighten the simple mechanical knowledge for the children, thereby
achieving the object of edutainment.
[0015] It is of course to be understood that the embodiments
described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the
invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be
effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the
spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following
claims.
