1, 2A, and 2B, an embodiment of the inventive toy set for creativity development according to the present invention includes a rod 200 and a connector 200 into which the rod 100 can be inserted.

In addition, one embodiment of the inventive toy set for creativity development according to the present invention may further include a connection flange 300 connecting two or more rods 100.

The rod 100 includes a body portion 110, a spherical protrusion 130, a groove portion 150, a side projection 170, and a fastening portion 190. Here, the body 110, the spherical protrusion 130, the groove 150, the side projection 170, and the coupling part 190 may be integrally formed. On the other hand, the coupling part 190 may be selectively formed.

The body 110 has a cylindrical shape and a side surface protrusion 170 protrudes from the outer surface. Here, the body portion 110 is not limited to a cylindrical shape. For example, the body part 110 may be a triangular prism, a square prism, or a pentagonal prism. That is, the body 110 may be a polygonal column having a polygonal cross-sectional area. In addition, the body 110 may have a cylindrical shape and a hollow may be formed therein.

The side surface protrusion 170 protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the body 110. The side surface protrusion 170 is formed to extend along the longitudinal direction of the body 110. At least two side protrusions 170 may be formed along the outer circumferential surface of the body 110. For example, when two side protrusions 170 are disposed, the angle between the side protrusions 170 may be 90 ° or more and 180 ° or less.

When three side protrusions 170 are disposed, the angle formed by each side protrusion 170 may be the same or different. For example, when the first to third side projections are disposed, the angle between the first side projections and the second side projections may be 60 degrees, and the angle between the first side projections and the third side projections may be 30 degrees. Alternatively, the angle between the first side surface projection and the second side surface projection may be 60 [deg.], And the angle between the first side surface projection and the third side surface projection may be 60 [deg.].

Referring to FIG. 2B, four side protrusions 170 are disposed along the outer circumferential surface of the body 110 in one embodiment. The side projections 170 are spaced apart from each other, and the angle formed by the two adjacent side projections 170 of the four side projections 170 is 90 [deg.]. That is, the angle between the side projections 170 may be equal to 90 degrees. The side surface protrusion 170 serves to support the rod 100 inserted in the connector 200 described later.

At least a portion of both ends of the body part 110 may be formed with a fastening part 190. The fastening portion 190 has a thread 191. Accordingly, the fastening portion 190 can be coupled to the connection flange 300, which will be described later. In one embodiment, the length of the fastening portion 190 formed with the threads 191 may be 0.5 cm or more and 2 cm or less. Preferably, the length of the fastening portion 190 may be 1 cm.

The spherical protrusion 130 is disposed at both ends of the body portion 110. [ In one embodiment, the spherical protrusion 130 is spherical, but it is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the spherical protrusion 130 may have a semi-spherical shape, or an irregular shape in which the end of the spherical protrusion 130 is curved.

The groove portion 150 is disposed between the spherical protrusion 130 and the body portion 110. When the fastening part 190 is provided, the groove part 150 is disposed between the spherical protrusion 130 and the fastening part 190. In one embodiment, the groove 150 has a cylindrical shape and has a maximum diameter of the spherical protrusion 130 or a diameter smaller than the maximum diameter of the body portion 110.

The groove 150 connects the spherical protrusion 130 with the body 110 or the spherical protrusion 130 and the coupling part 190. Further, the groove portion 150 is sandwiched between the support protrusions 270, which will be described later, and serves to support the rod 100.

Referring to FIG. 1, the connector 200 includes a central body 210 having a through hole 211 at its center, an insertion groove 230 formed at an outer peripheral surface of the central body 210, Protrusions 250, and support protrusions 270 protruding from the fastening protrusions 250.

Here, the central body 210, the fastening protrusions 250, and the support protrusions 270 may be integrally formed.

The central body 210 may have various shapes with a through hole 211 through which the rod 100 can be inserted in the center. For example, the central body 210 may be cylindrical. In addition, the central body 210 may have a polygonal shape depending on the arrangement of the insertion groove 230 or the fastening protrusion 250, which will be described later. That is, when five insertion grooves 230 are provided, the central body 210 may have a pentagonal shape in plan view.

The insertion grooves 230 are disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the central body 210 in a plurality of positions and spaced circumferentially with respect to the through holes 211. The insertion groove 230 is recessed toward the through hole 211. In addition, the insertion groove 230 has a curved surface corresponding to the shape of the spherical protrusion 130. Therefore, the spherical protrusion 130 can be inserted into the insertion groove 230.

The fastening protrusions 250 are formed protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface of the center body 210. In one embodiment, when the central body 210 is cylindrical, the fastening protrusions 250 are formed protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the center body 210.

Further, the fastening protrusions 250 are disposed between the plurality of insertion grooves 230. Accordingly, the fastening protrusions 250 are opposed to each other with one of the plurality of insertion grooves 230 interposed therebetween. On the other hand, the fastening protrusion 250 may be branched into two branches and have a "V" shape. The thickness of the fastening protrusion 250 may be the same as the thickness of the central body 210.

The support protrusions 270 are formed protruding from the fastening protrusions 250. Specifically, the support protrusions 270 are disposed on opposite surfaces of the fastening protrusions 250 facing each other with the insertion groove 230 interposed therebetween.

The support protrusions 270 may extend from the upper end to the lower end of the fastening protrusions 250 with respect to the axial direction of the through holes 211. Further, the support protrusion 270 has a curved surface that is semicircular in plan view.

The fastening protrusion 250 serves to guide the rod 100 in the insertion direction when the rod 100 is inserted. Further, it supports the rod 100 inserted in the connector 200.

The support protrusions 270 serve to support the grooves 150 of the rod 100. That is, the grooves 150 are sandwiched between the support protrusions 270 facing each other, and are supported by the support protrusions 270.

3A to 3C are views showing various states in which the rod 100 of FIG. 2A is assembled to the connector 200 of FIG.

3A to 3C, the rod 100 may be inserted into the through hole 211 of the connector 200. [ Also, the rod 100 may be inserted into the insertion groove 230 of the connector 200.

When the rod 100 is inserted into the through hole 211, the side projection 170 contacts the central body 210 of the connector 200 inside the through hole 211. Therefore, the side projection 170 can support the connector 200. [

One of the plurality of rods 100 may be inserted into the through hole 211 and the other rod 100 may be inserted into the insertion groove 230. That is, the central axes of the rods 100 may be arranged to form an angle of 90 degrees. Here, the plurality of rods 100 may be disposed along the insertion groove 230.

When the rod 100 is inserted into the insertion groove 230, the spherical projection 130 abuts at least part of the insertion groove 230. The grooves 150 are sandwiched between the support protrusions 270 facing each other. Therefore, the groove 150 can be inserted into the insertion groove 230 to support the assembled rod 100. Most of the spherical protrusions 130 are in contact with the central body 210 in the insertion groove 230 when the size of the spherical protrusion 130 is large. When the size of the spherical protrusion 130 is small, the contact area between the spherical protrusion 130 and the centerbody 210 is small. That is, the larger the spherical protrusion 130, the larger the area in contact with the centerbody 210 becomes.

Meanwhile, the rod 100 may be inserted into the insertion groove 230 substantially parallel to the central axis of the through hole 211. 3C, when the rod 100 is inserted into the insertion groove 230 in parallel with the central axis of the through hole 211, the side projection 170 is brought into contact with the support protrusion 270. Specifically, any one of the side projections 170 of the two adjacent side projections 170 contacts one of the support projections 270 of the support projections 270 disposed opposite to each other. In addition, the other side projection 170 abuts against the other support projection 270. Therefore, the rod 100 is inserted into the insertion groove 230 of the connector 200 and supported.

Figs. 4A to 4C are views showing the motion state of the rod 100 of Fig. 2A inserted into the connector 200 of Fig.

3C, and 4A to 4C, the rod 100 can be disposed in the insertion groove 230 of the connector 200 substantially perpendicularly or parallel to the central axis C of the through hole 211 . Since the spherical protrusion 130 of the rod 100 has a spherical shape and the insertion groove 230 of the connector 200 has a curved surface corresponding to the spherical protrusion 130, 230).

The rod 100 is moved in a substantially circumferential direction about the spherical protrusion 130 inserted in the insertion groove 230. More specifically, the spherical protrusion 130 located at the other end of the rod 100 spaced apart from the spherical protrusion 130 located at one end of the rod 100 inserted into the insertion groove 230 And may flow in the clockwise direction (a) or the counterclockwise direction (b).

Therefore, even if one end of the rod 100 is inserted into the insertion groove 230, the other end of the rod 100 moves in the circumferential direction, so that the rod 100 is rotated at various angles with the center axis C of the through hole 211 Respectively.

Referring to FIG. 5, the connector 200 according to the present invention may further include a support portion 290. The support portion 290 may be selectively disposed on either the upper portion or the lower portion of the center body 210. That is, the support portion 290 may be disposed at the upper end or the lower end of the center body 210.

In one embodiment, the support portion 290 is linear and connects a plurality of fastening protrusions 250. In this case, the support portion 290 covers at least a part of the insertion groove 230 in a plan view. However, it is not limited thereto. The support portion 290 may be disposed in a planar shape so as to cover substantially all of the planar insertion grooves 230 at the upper end or the lower end of the center body 210.

The support portion 290 is disposed to cover at least a part of the planar insertion groove 230 so that the rod 100 inserted into the insertion groove 230 is prevented from being detached from the connector 200.

Referring to FIG. 6, the connector 200 may take various forms. 6, a part of the through hole 211 is opened in the connector a. In this case, the rod 100 can also be inserted into the through hole 211 and the open region.

The connectors (b) to (e) show shapes according to the number of the insertion grooves 230 and the fastening protrusions 250. The connector f has one insertion groove 230 and a pair of coupling protrusions 250 disposed to face each other. In addition, the connector g is disposed such that two insertion grooves 230 are opposed to each other with the through hole 211 as a center. That is, the connector 200 may have various shapes depending on the arrangement of the insertion groove 230 and the fastening protrusion 250.

7 is a view showing a connection flange 300 according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, one embodiment of the connecting flange 300 according to the present invention has a cylindrical shape, and a thread groove 310 is formed inside. It is preferable that the thread groove 310 is formed at both ends of the connection flange 300 and is formed to be equal to or longer than the length of the thread 191 formed in the coupling part 190 of the rod 100 described above.
