As shown in Figure 1, when having assembled, toy can comprise the one or more pearls that are connected to one or more track segments slidably.In this illustrated embodiment, each track segment is with the track that acts on two pearls.In other embodiments, different guide rails can comprise the pearl of varying number, and some or all of guide rail can not comprise pearl.The length of track segment and the size of pearl are the unique restrictions how many pearls can be connected to each track segment slidably.All pearls can be that size and dimension is identical, and perhaps one or more pearls can be different with one or more other pearl sizes and/or shape.The hole that centers on fully that some pearls can not comprise track segment and passed.Pearl can comprise the almost slip joint of any kind.
Can use any suitable technique to make pearl with any suitable material or the combination of material.As a non-limiting example, pearl can be used acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) (ABS) injection moulding.Can use various moulding, casting and extrusion technique, with ABS and/or other plastics formings Cheng Zhu.In addition, can use rubber, metal, timber, glass, fibrous composite and/or other materials, and can not depart from expected range of the present disclosure.The various parameters (for example, weight, click sound amount, size, cost etc.) of the toy that material, shape, thickness, structure and the size that can select pearl is assembled into adjustment.
As stated, in certain embodiments, each track segment is to be formed by single rail guide piece fully.Such configuration is shown among Fig. 5.Especially, rail guide piece 50 forms the whole length of track segment 52, and pearl 54 can be along its 52 slip.In this configuration, the end 56 of hub spare 58 too big so that pearl for pearl can not slipped over, thereby has formed the border between track segment and the boss assembly effectively.Another configuration is shown among Fig. 6, rail guide piece 60 and the hub spare 62 common length that form track segment 64, and pearl 66 can slide along it.In this configuration, the mid portion 68 of hub spare 62 is tapering to a width gradually, and this width too big so that pearl for pearl can not slipped over, thereby has formed the border between track segment and the boss assembly effectively.Another configuration is shown among Fig. 7, and single piece 70 has formed boss assembly 72 and track segment 74.In this configuration, mid portion 76 tapering to width of single piece 70, this width for pearl 78 too big so that pearl can not slip over, thereby formed the border between track segment and the boss assembly effectively.Toy can be designed as has any or multiple in the above-mentioned configuration.
In certain embodiments, one or more pearls can be fixed to track segment, in order to avoid track segment slides relatively.The end of converging with boss assembly that this pearl can be fixed to track segment, and/or this pearl can be fixed to the mid portion between the opposite end of track segment.When being positioned at the end of track segment, pearl can in addition or replacedly be fixed to boss assembly.Pearl can be fixed to guide rail and/or boss assembly in any suitable manner, includes but not limited to ultrasonic bonding, bonding and/or one-body molded.
Fig. 8 has shown the non-limiting example of hand-held beading toy 80.Toy 80 comprises boss assembly 82, track segment 84 and pearl 86, and pearl 86 is fixed to the end of track segment 84.
Turn back to the toy 10 of Fig. 1, show the example assembling of above-mentioned hub spare, rail guide piece and pearl.Each hub spare comprises three spokes and three mortises.Like this, each hub spare can be linked to nearly three other hub spares through rail guide piece.Assembly toy 10 makes in four hub spares each all be linked to each in other three hub spares through rail guide piece.In other words, there is not hub spare to be connected to any other hub spare through more than one rail guide piece.In addition, there is not hub spare to be connected to self (two ends that are rail guide piece are not connected to same hub spare) through rail guide piece.Rail guide piece all keeps together different hub spares.If there is not rail guide piece, hub spare just can not be connected to each other.
Toy 10 also is configured and is assembled into and makes the end vicinity of each spoke part from the end of another spoke part of another hub spare.The abutting end of spoke part has formed spoke to (for example, spoke to 80a and spoke to 80b).In addition, each spoke is right to being connected to from another spoke of two different hub spares through two rail guide pieces.It is right that this symmetric geometry has been created six spokes of the periphery that is evenly distributed on toy.
Toy 10 is configured and is assembled into and makes each rail guide piece fully separate with respect to other all rail guide pieces, makes that the pearl on the rail guide piece can not slide into another pearl on another rail guide piece.In addition, the crooked route of guide rail makes the distance that pearl is advanced and grows relatively.Toy 10 is designed such that when on the hub of grabbing at toy, pearl can be free to slide along guide rail in the inside of the spherical outer periphery that is limited hub.In many examples, mainly traversing certain volume (volume) strengthens advancing of pearl in the inside of the periphery that is limited hub through making guide rail.Such volume is roughly spherical, so toy is roughly spherical.Yet, it is understandable that in all embodiment, guide rail need not advanced through the inside of this periphery, one or more (or all) guide rails can be positioned at by near the periphery of hub foundation.In addition, in certain embodiments, one or more hubs can be positioned at the inside of the periphery that is limited two or more other hubs.
Toy 10 is configured to make hub spare and rail guide piece enough rigidity to be arranged to keep default shape.Yet the two can have point elasticity hub spare and rail guide piece, thereby provides the certain bending of toy to leave the ability of default shape.As stated, the various aspects (for example, material, size, structure etc.) that can select hub spare and rail guide piece are to adjust the elasticity of the toy after assembling.Scope according to toy of the present disclosure can be from perfect rigidity to complete softness.
In certain embodiments, guide rail can forever be connected with hub, and in other embodiments, hub and guide rail can be configured to be used for the repetition assembly and disassembly.In some cases, hub can be through bridge spare or other devices but not guide rail is connected to other hub spares, with the stability that realizes increasing.
When being sized to about 6 inches and when being built with PVC hub spare and AB S rail guide piece and pearl as stated of diameter, toy 10 is about 150 grams.The toy of this relative lightweight is convenient to hand-held playing, even is used for very little children.When toy moved, gravity and momentum can cause pearl on rail guide piece, to slide.Along with pearl slides, they can send click sound and against hub spare and/or send click sound each other on rail guide piece.This click sound causes toy only just can produce gram gram sound with a small amount of moving, and this is happy for the child.Although more than described 6 inches, the toys of 150 grams, it is understandable that notion described herein can be used for making the toy of virtually any size almost or weight.
In certain embodiments, through selecting specific color and/or transparency level, the outward appearance that can regulate toy for hub spare, rail guide piece and/or pearl.Hub spare, rail guide piece and/or pearl can be same colors with every other hub spare, rail guide piece and pearl, and perhaps one or more can be different colours than one or more other parts.For example, all hub spares can be identical color and identical transparency level (for example, opaque blueness); All rail guide pieces can be identical color with identical transparency level (for example; And some pearls visually are different from other pearls (for example, redness of partially transparent opaque and white); The green of partially transparent, the blueness of partially transparent).Above-mentioned color configuration only is one of the not specific quantity color combination that can create, and this does not depart from the scope of the present disclosure.
