Toy

Abstract

The invention relates to a toy ( 20 ) which has a plurality of elements (Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 ) which can be connected magnetically to one another and are covered in each case with a textile material ( 104 - 106 ).

1 . A toy comprising: a plurality of elements, which can be connected magnetically to one another and are covered in each case with a textile material.  
   
   
       2 . The toy according to  claim 1 , wherein 
 at least two elements have in each case at least one permanent magnet arranged under a section of the particular textile cover, the poles of two permanent magnets being aligned in such a manner that the associated elements can be connected to one another via the associated sections of the textile covers.    
   
   
       3 . The toy ( 10 ) according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein 
 at least one first element has at least one part of magnetizable material, in particular metal, arranged under a first section of the textile cover    at least one second element has at least one permanent magnet arranged under a second section of the textile cover keep, and    the first and the second element are connectable to one another via the first and the second section of the textile covers.    
   
   
       4 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 the at least one first element does not have a permanent magnet serving to connect elements, and    the at least one second element does not have a part of magnetizable material serving to connect elements.    
   
   
       5 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 the magnetic dipole axis of the at least one permanent magnet is aligned essentially parallel or orthogonally to that surface section of the associated element which serves to connect it to a further element.    
   
   
       6 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 the surface sections of in each case two elements which butt against each other in a magnetic connection have a mutually corresponding surface geometry and, in particular, are essentially flat.    
   
   
       7 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 the base material of the elements is a dimensionally stable and soft material, in particular a soft foam material, in particular polyether foam.    
   
   
       8 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 the at least one permanent magnet and/or the at least one part of magnetizable material are held in cutouts of the particular element in such a manner that they are matched to the surface geometry of the associated element.    
   
   
       9 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 the textile covers of the elements are designed in such a manner that, when two permanent magnets and/or one permanent magnet and a part of magnetizable material come into contact, a metallic noise is produced.    
   
   
       10 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 the geometric basic shape of at least one element is essentially a rectangular parallelepiped or a tube or a cone or a cylinder or a disc or a shape assembled from the geometric shapes.    
   
   
       11 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 part of an element or one element or a plurality of elements connected to one another have the external form of an animal, in particular a sheep or a bear or a caterpillar, or of part of an animal or of a building or of a means of transport.    
   
   
       12 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 at least one section of the textile cover of at least one element has a reflecting foil or fleecy cloth or rough cloth or a plastic part.    
   
   
       13 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 at least one element comprises a means for producing a sound or noise, in particular an animal sound, when mechanical pressure is exerted on the means or when the at least one element is moved.
