Magnetic block toy

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a magnetic toy block having various shapes that allow preschool toddlers and children to play and build different shapes of structures similar to Legos, and improve their creativity, space perception and understanding of different geometric shapes. The magnetic block toy includes a plurality of cylindrical protective members ( 100 ), wherein each of the plurality of cylindrical protective members ( 100 ) include a first insertion hole defined in an upper portion and a second insertion hole defined in a lower portion( 111,112 ), wherein each of the first and second insertion holes ( 111,112 ) are configured to receive and hold a magnet ( 10 ). Reinforcing members ( 110 ) arranged between each of the plurality of cylindrical protective members ( 100 ), wherein the reinforcing members ( 110 ) are configured to connect , support and reinforce the plurality of the cylindrical protective members ( 100 ) at front, back and two sides; and wherein the plurality of cylindrical protective members ( 100 ) including a magnet installed in each of the first and second insertion holes ( 111,112 ) are arranged in two parallel rows; wherein a magnetic block is formed by placing the plurality of the cylindrical protective members ( 100 ) connected with the reinforcing members ( 110 ) in a frame and filling the frame with a resin, such that a surface of each of the magnets ( 10 ) installed in the insertion holes ( 111,112 ) is exposed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A magnetic block toy comprising:
 a plurality of cylindrical protective members, wherein each of the plurality of cylindrical protective members includes a first insertion hole defined in an upper portion and a second insertion hole defined in a lower portion, wherein each of the first and second insertion holes are configured to receive and hold a magnet;   a magnet installed in each of the first and second insertion holes;   reinforcing members arranged between each of the plurality of cylindrical protective members, wherein the reinforcing members are configured to connect, support and reinforce the plurality of the cylindrical protective members at front, back and two sides; and   wherein the plurality of cylindrical protective members including a magnet installed in each of the first and second insertion holes are arranged in two parallel rows;   wherein a magnetic block is formed by placing the plurality of the cylindrical protective members connected with the reinforcing members in a frame and filling the frame with a resin, such that a surface of each of the magnets installed in the insertion holes is exposed.   
     
     
         2 . The magnetic block toy of  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic block is injection molded into a rectangular shape, a square shape, a triangular shape, or polygonal shape, wherein the magnetic block has a thickness of about 5 mm to about 20 mm. 
     
     
         3 . The magnetic block toy of  claim 1 , wherein the magnets installed in the plurality of reinforcing members arranged in two parallel rows are installed such that the poles of the magnets are cross arranged as N pole S pole, N pole S pole.
