发明名称 PLANNING AND TOY ASSEMBLIES, AND THE LIKE, EMPLOYING MOVABLEELEMENTS OF PERMANENT MAGNETIC MATERIAL
摘要 Planning and toy assemblies of the invention comprise element receiving and storage members and a plurality of elements adherable by permanent magnet attraction to their receiving surfaces, the assembly also usually comprising a folder in which they are stored and carried. Each member comprises a thin sheet of magnetizable metal with a surface sheet mounted thereover. The receiving member surface carries a planning grid or picture, while the storage members have depictions on their exposed surfaces of the elements that are placed thereon. Each element is a piece punched from permanently magnetized sheet material of sufficient magnetic field strength to adhere to the metal sheets, even through a thin non-magnetic layer, and also carries a depiction of what it represents. Each element depiction has a respective visual orientation, while the sheet material has a respective magnetic orientation, and preferably while one plurality of the elements have their visual and magnetic orientations in a first angular relation, another plurality have their orientations in a different angular relation, so that elements of the two pluralities can overly one another without interaction of the magnetic fields that might otherwise cause unwanted relative movement between the overlying elements. A further plurality may have their orientations in an angular relation different from that of the other two pluralities for the same purpose. The two or three pluralities of elements may be formed by stamping from a single sheet of the material, and thereafter are mounted on the storage members with the same visual orientation.
