Didactic game piece
An educational game having a number of parts where each part has a contact surface with first and second magnets movably joined to and interior face of the contact surface. A rod that defines a longitudinal axis parallel to the contact surface has the first magnet at one end and a second magnet at the opposite end, with the magnets having their polarity reversed to each other. An elongated housing encloses the rod on the interior face of the contact surface, and it moves the rod on the longitudinal axis along the housing.
1. Apparatus comprising an educational game having a plurality of parts, each of the plurality of parts including a contact surface having a visible face and an interior face, and that has a first magnet on the interior face with its magnetic axis facing towards said contact surface, said first magnet being joined to said part by fixing means that has movement means that are suitable for moving said magnetic axis with respect to said contact surface, in such a way that any contact surface of any of the plurality of parts faces up toward any contact surface of any other of the plurality of parts, both parts being joined to each other by the attraction forces of magnets;
said movement means having a rod that defines a longitudinal axis parallel to said contact surface, with the first magnet fitted at one end of the rod and a second magnet fitted at an opposite end of the rod, said first and second magnets having their polarity reversed to the other, and a housing elongated along said longitudinal axis, said housing being of such a size that it is suitable to house said rod on the interior face of the contact surface and it is suitable to move said rod on said longitudinal axis along said housing.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising said movement means having a rotation axis parallel to said contact surface and said first magnet is joined to said rotation axis parallel to said contact surface.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising a second magnet connected to said rotation axis parallel to said contact surface, said second magnet having its polarity reversed to the said first magnet, and is angularly moved, in the direction of said rotation axis parallel to said contact surface, with respect to said first magnet.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising said movement means having a rotation axis that is perpendicular to said contact surface and comprises said first magnet and a second magnet, said first and second magnets having magnetic axes which are parallel to each other and each one having the polarities reversed to the other, said first and second magnets being angularly moved from one to the other in the direction of said rotation axis perpendicular to said contact surface, and said magnets being moved by a rotation on said rotation axis perpendicular to said contact surface.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising said rotation axis perpendicular to said contact surface being at a mid point between said magnetic axes.
