MAGNETIC CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A magnetic construction system comprised of plural multi-shaped structural bodies each containing one or more captured magnets, wherein each magnet is free to rotate within its respective retaining pocket to align in magnetic polarity with rotatable magnets in adjacent structural bodies. Surface geometry around each magnet may include a radial detent feature which provides lateral and rotational stability between magnetically coupled structural bodies, or a radial recess which allows free rotation of respective structural bodies about the polar axis of magnetic coupling.

1. A magnetic construction apparatus, comprising:
a plurality of magnetic connector bodies configured for mutual magnetic connection one to another along mutually confronting surfaces of said connector bodies, wherein each said magnetic body comprises: a housing defining one or more internal pockets and having a plurality of external protrusions and indents formed alternately at equal intervals in a radial pattern around each of said pockets, whereby any two of said case portions may be seated one into the other in a laterally and rotationally stable detent manner; and a magnet rotatably retained within each of said pockets.
