System and method for connecting magnetic building tiles
A base member configured for use with a windowed magnetic tile, the base member including a tile portion having three or more outer edges configured with respective protrusions for fitting engagement with respective notches on corresponding three or more inner edges of the windowed magnetic tile; a first projection extending outwardly from a first surface of the tile portion formed by the three or more outer edges; and a first opening disposed on the first projection.
1. A base member configured for use with a windowed magnetic tile, the base member comprising:
a tile portion having three or more outer edges configured with respective protrusions for fitting engagement with respective notches on corresponding three or more inner edges of the windowed magnetic tile;
a first projection extending outwardly from a first surface of the tile portion formed by the three or more outer edges; and
a first opening disposed on the first projection;
a connector inserted into the first opening;
a wheel having a first opening through which the connector is inserted into the first opening of the base member; and
wherein the connector is a bearing that comprises a disc-shaped portion.
2. The base member of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second projection extending outwardly from a second surface of the tile portion formed by the three or more outer edges; and
a second opening disposed on the second projection,
wherein the second surface is on an opposite side from the first surface of the tile portion.
3. The base member of claim 1 , wherein the connector comprises a plurality of ends that are insertable to the first opening.
4. The base member of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of ends are at a right angle from one another on a common plane.
5. The base member of claim 4 , wherein the connector comprises four ends to form a cross shape.
6. The base member of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of ends are at a 120 degree angle from one another on a common plane.
7. The base member of claim 1 , wherein the tile portion is a square-shaped tile portion for fitting to a square-shaped opening in the windowed magnetic tile.
