Set of blocks with freely movable magnetic anchoring elements, for the construction of game assemblies

Abstract

A set of magnetically anchorable block members for the construction of games; the set includes a plurality of main block members ( 10.1 to 10.12 ), each main block member ( 10 ) includes a hollow body ( 11 ) having peripheral wall surfaces ( 12 ), and at least one elongated magnetic anchoring element ( 14 ) shaped and disposed in a housing chamber ( 13 ) of the hollow body ( 11 ) to freely move and/or rotate in one or more planes, and to orientate magnetic poles allowing the anchorage of one or more main block and/or supplementary block members ( 10; 26 ) separately or conjointly on one or more opposite wall surfaces ( 12 ), in correspondence with a plurality of anchoring positions, in the construction of a game assemblies.

1 - 40 . (canceled) 
   
   
       41 . A set of magnetically anchorable main block members, for the construction of game assemblies, in which each main block member comprises:
 a hollow body having peripheral coupling wall surfaces;   at least one magnetic anchoring element arranged in a housing chamber of the hollow body to freely move, the magnetic element having at least two spaced apart magnetic poles of opposite polarities to allow a connection of each pole to a magnetic element of another block member of the set;   the magnetic element and the housing chamber being conformed to allow the magnetic element to freely rotate according to one or more rotational axes, and freely move according to one or more planes, for orientation of the opposite magnetic poles of the magnetic element conjointly towards a plurality of anchorage points pertaining to opposite coupling wall surfaces of the said main block member for coupling to other block members of the set.   
   
   
       42 . The set of block members according to  claim 41 , wherein the magnetic anchoring element comprises an elongated body having distal ends, and poles of opposite polarities at said distal ends. 
   
   
       43 . The set of block members according to  claim 41 , wherein the magnetic anchoring element comprises a plurality of spaced apart magnetic poles arranged on one or more angularly spaced apart pole axis. 
   
   
       44 . The set of block members according to  claim 41 , wherein the coupling surfaces of the main block member comprise flat and shaped coupling wall surfaces. 
   
   
       45 . The set of block members according to  claim 41 , wherein the hollow body of the main block member is provided with a through hole. 
   
   
       46 . The set of block members according to  claim 41 , wherein comprising a main block member having a parallelepiped or polyhedral-shaped hollow body, and at least a first and a second housing chamber for a respective elongated magnetic element, axially spaced apart. 
   
   
       47 . The set of block members according to  claim 41 , wherein the magnetic anchoring element is freely rotatable in a plane and slidable parallel to flat coupling surfaces. 
   
   
       48 . The set of block members according to  claim 41  comprising supplementary shaped block members having different aesthetical and/or functional features, said supplementary block members being provided with magnetic and/or mechanical anchoring means for anchoring with a main block member of the set. 
   
   
       49 . The set of block members according to  claim 41 , wherein at least one of the main block members comprises a coating of soft material.
