Abstract

A toy water ball includes a plurality of petals each having a first edge portion and a second edge portion. Each first edge portion is provided with first magnetic members, and each second edge portion is provided with second magnetic members. When all petals are closed to form a spherical shape, an attraction force is generated between the first magnetic members of each petal and the second magnetic members of the adjacent petal so that the first edge portion of the petal tightly fit the second edge portion of the adjacent petal and a water-carrying cavity is formed. The toy water ball can be closed or opened repeatedly and can be reused. Thus, it is environmentally friendly and clean. Furthermore, the toy water ball can be filled with water in a common water source without a specific pressure, so it can be used in many occasions, and has strong applicability.

Claims (20)

1 . A toy water ball, comprising a plurality of petals, wherein each petal comprises a first edge portion and a second edge portion, each first edge portion is provided with at least one first magnetic member, and each second edge portion is provided with at least one second magnetic member; when all the petals are closed to form a spherical shape, an attraction force is generated between the first magnetic members on the first edge portion of each petal and the second magnetic members on the second edge portion of an adjacent petal so that the first edge portion of the petal tightly fits and contacts the second edge portion of the adjacent petal and the petals cooperatively form a liquid-carrying cavity therebetween.

2 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein the first edge portion of one of the petals is provided with a plurality of first magnetic members, the second edge portion of the petal adjacent to the first edge portion of said one of the petals is provided with a plurality of second magnetic members, and positions of the plurality of the first magnetic members are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with positions of the plurality of the second magnetic members.

3 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein the first edge portion of each petal is provided with a plurality of first magnetic members, the first magnetic members of the same first edge portion are spaced apart from each other; the second edge portion of each petal is provided with a plurality of second magnetic members, and the second magnetic members of the same second edge portion are spaced apart from each other.

4 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein the first edge portion of each petal has a first fitting surface, and the first magnetic members are mounted on an inner side of the first edge portion away from the first fitting surface; the second edge portion of each petal has a second fitting surface 32 , and the second magnetic members are mounted on an inner side of the second edge portion away from the second fitting surface.

5 . The toy water ball according to claim 4 , wherein the first magnetic members are arranged corresponding to a middle position of the first fitting surface; the second magnetic members are arranged corresponding to a middle position of the second fitting surface; the first fitting surface is concavely arranged in a natural state.

6 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , further a connecting member respectively connected to all the petals.

7 . The toy water ball according to claim 6 , wherein the connecting member comprises an elastic connecting ring and connecting ends respectively connecting the connecting ring to the petals.

8 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein an inner surface of the first edge portion of each petal is provided with grooves and the first magnetic members are fixed in the grooves.

9 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic members are fixed at the first edge portion by binding or snap connection.

10 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the petals is two, three, four or five.

11 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic members are magnets and the second magnetic members are magnets, and the first magnetic members and the second magnetic members are opposite in polarity;

12 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic members are magnets and the second magnetic members are made of iron.

13 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein each petal further comprises a main body, the first and second edge portions are mounted on opposite edges of the main body respectively, the first and second edge portions being made of material different from that of the main body.

14 . The toy water ball according to claim 13 , wherein the first edge portion and the second edge portion of each of the petals are made of soft gel.

15 . The toy water ball according to claim 13 , wherein the main bodies of the petals are made of silicone.

16 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , further comprising a connecting member connected to all the petals.

17 . The toy water ball according to claim 16 , wherein the connecting member is configured as a sheet.

18 . The toy water ball according to claim 17 , wherein the connecting member is integrally formed with the first edge portion and the second edge portion of each petal.

19 . The toy water ball according to claim 16 , wherein the connecting member comprises a connecting ring and connecting ends each connecting the connecting ring with a corresponding petal.

20 . The toy water ball according to claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of each petal is provided with a wave-like pattern.
