Abstract
A modular kit incorporates a plurality of blocks of differing sizes first coated in a magnetic coating and a writable coating on the outer surface. These blocks can be left standalone, stacked in of themselves, or held together via connector blocks and stacked in any number of ways. Connector blocks are blocks with magnets imbedded in all or some sides that connect the blocks with the magnetic coated surfaces together. Connector blocks have a writable coating applied to the surface. Any of the blocks can be of one colour or any of the sides being different colours.
Description
Title of the Invention Magnetic Connectable Writable Blocks Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to blocks and more particularly to a method of making the blocks interesting in design through the ability to display the blocks in any number of ways by using the connector blocks, writing on the magnetic connectable writable blocks and attaching any type of item that can be adhered with a magnet to the magnetic connectable writable blocks.
Background of the Invention This is a method to allow people in any age group to have a fun, configurable and decorative way to post, write and display the items they need. The magnetic connectable writable blocks can used for practical purposes of writing notes and reminders, drawings on the chalk or whiteboard surfaces, displaying photos or any number of items.
The kit offers a variety of configurations to permit individual expression in how the blocks are stacked and connected.
Summary of the Invention In one of its aspects, the magnetic connectable writable block kit according to the invention contains one or many writable blocks with each side having a writable and a magnetic coating.
The magnetic connectable writable block kit further comprises a plurality of connector blocks with one, some or all sides containing an embedded magnet for use in connecting the writable blocks to one another. Connector blocks in addition to the magnet will have all exterior surfaces done with a writable coating.
Other aspects of the invention will be appreciated by reference to the description of the preferred embodiment which follows and to the claims.
Brief Description of the Drawings The invention will be described by reference to the preferred embodiment and the drawings thereof in which:
Figure 1 is a perspecive view of the magnetic connectable writable block.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the connector blocks (square (9), triangle (10), rectangle (11)), according to the invention;
Figure 3 is a front view of one embodiment of the assembly, according to the invention;
Detailed Description of Best Mode and Preferred Embodiment of the Invention The magnetic connectable writable block and kit of the invention comprises modular elements. One of the elements, as shown in Figure 1 is a magnetic connectable writable block. The block can be of any size and will have a magnetic coating and a writable coating on all side surfaces. The writable surface(2) will be a chalkboard or whiteboard coating.
Each side of the block can have a picture, text or other items drawn on the writable surface or any number of items can be attached using magnets.
As shown in Fig 2, the kit also comprises of at least one connector block. The connector blocks can be a square(9), rectangular (11) or triangle(10) shaped blocks and will have magnets(4) embedded any on number of sides from one to all. All connector block surfaces (3) will have a writable coating applied.
As demonstrated in Fig 3, the corresponding geometry of the connector blocks (6) provides support, to hold the connectable writable blocks(5) in the desired position. The magnetic attraction means there will be enough force to hold the connectable writable blocks in position while permitting easy repositioning.
Although in the preferred embodiment magnets are used to the hold the blocks in position, other attachment means are possible.
The modular elements of the magnetic connectable writable blocks may be easily disassembled into a kit for packing, storing and shipping.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other variations of the preferred embodiment may also be practiced without departing from the scope of the invention.

Claims (5)
1. A multi block kit comprising: one or more magnetic connectable writable blocks surfaced with both a writable coating and a magnetic coating, one or more connector blocks, wherein each connector block has magnets imbedded on the surface of any number of sides from one to six, to enable them to hold the writable blocks to each other.
2. The writable block of claim 1 can be made of wood, plastic or any material that can be coated as described in claim 1.
3. The writable block of claim 1 is a block of any size, first coated with a magnetic coating and then with a chalkboard or whiteboard coating. The final coating of claim 1 will not be so thick as to negate the ability of the magnetic coating to be attracted to the magnets imbedded in the surfaces of the connector blocks.
4. The connector blocks of claim 1 can be square block, triangle block or rectangular block shaped. They can be of the same dimension of the writable block or smaller or larger than it. The connector block can be coated with any suitable coating.
5. The connector block of claim 1 will have a flush mount magnet of enough strength to adhere two writable blocks together. The magnet can be on one or or up to all of the sides of the connector blocks.
