The first folding member (133c) is formed of a hinge or the like and can rotatably fix the rear end of the second upper pipe unit (133b) to the rear end of the first upper pipe unit (133a).

The first fastening means (137) may include a first fastening bar (137a) formed of a pair of first fastening bar units (137b) whose rear ends are fixed to the front of the upper tube (133) and whose rear ends are fixed to the first and second upper tube units (133a, 133b) while branching left and right around the central portion, and a first fastening member (137c) screw-connected to the outside of the first fastening bar (137a).

The first fastening bar (137a) has screw threads formed on the outer surface, and the first fastening member (137c) has screw threads formed on the inner surface, so that it can be screw-connected to the first fastening bar (137a).

The first binding member (137c) can open one side of the first upper tube unit (133a) by rotating the second upper tube unit (133b) in the opposite direction to the first upper tube unit (133a) upon separation from the first binding bar (137a).

Accordingly, the magnet block (100) can be smoothly separated and combined with the magnet (120) to the upper tube (133).

The lower pipe (134) may include a first lower pipe unit (134a) having one end open and the other end fixed to the body (131), as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a second lower pipe unit (134b) that opens and closes one end of the first lower pipe unit (134a), a second folding member (134c) that operably connects the rear end of the second lower pipe unit (134b) to the first lower pipe unit (134a), and a second fastening means (138) that fastens the front end of the second lower pipe unit (134b) to the first lower pipe unit (134a).

The second fastening bar (138a) has screw threads formed on the outer surface, and the second fastening member (138c) has screw threads formed on the inner surface, so that it can be screw-connected to the second fastening bar (138a).

The second fastening member (138c) can open one side of the first lower pipe unit (134a) by rotating the second lower pipe unit (134b) in the opposite direction to the first lower pipe unit (134a) upon separation from the second fastening bar (138a).

Accordingly, the magnet block (100) can smoothly separate and combine the magnet (120) into the lower pipe (134).

The fixing means (130) can be accommodated inside the block (110) while the upper plate (114) is separated from the case (111).

The magnet block (100) may further include a support means (140) that allows the fixing means (130) to be fixed to the block (110).

The support means (140) is a side wall (113) as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. It may include a plurality of guide grooves (141) formed on the inner surface and extending downward from the upper portion, into which one end of the central tube (132) is introduced, an upper coupling ring (142) formed on the lower surface of the upper plate (114) and having one end of the upper tube (133) coupled inwardly while the lower portion is open, and a lower coupling ring (143) formed on the upper surface of the lower plate (112) and having one end of the lower tube (134) coupled inwardly while the upper portion is open.

The guide home (141) can be formed to extend downward from the inner upper part of the side plate (115).

As one end of the central pipe (132) is introduced into the guide home (141), stable support for the body (131) can be achieved.

The guide home (141) can be sunken in the direction of the outer surface of the side plate (115) to shorten the distance between the magnet (120) and the outer surface of the side plate (115).

The upper coupling ring (142) can be formed to extend downward from the lower surface of the upper plate (114), and one end of the upper pipe (133) can be inserted inward to stably support the upper pipe (133).

The upper coupling ring (142) can be configured so that the inner upper surface is positioned higher than the lower surface of the upper plate (114), thereby shortening the distance between the magnet (120) and the upper surface of the upper plate (114).

The lower coupling ring (143) can be formed to extend upward from the upper surface of the lower plate (112), and one end of the lower pipe (134) can be inserted inward to stably support the lower pipe (134).

The lower coupling ring (143) can be configured so that the inner lower surface is positioned lower than the upper surface of the lower plate (112), thereby shortening the distance between the magnet (120) and the lower surface of the lower plate (114).

Accordingly, the fixing means (130) combined with the block (110) can be maintained in a stable state without shaking by the support means (140).

When the magnet (120) is connected to the fixing means (130), the distance between the magnet and the surface forming the block (110) becomes shorter, so that the magnetic force can be transmitted more smoothly to the surface of the block (110).

The joining plate (116b) may have a fitting projection (116c) formed in the center between the two ends that protrudes outward and is inserted into the guide groove (141).

The insertion projection (116c) can be formed by bending the central portion between the two ends of the joining plate (116b) outward.

The magnet (120) can be movably coupled to each of the tubes (132, 133, 134) by forming the outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of each tube.

The fixing means (130) may further include a spring (139) that movably fixes the magnet (120) to the stop plate (135) as shown in FIG. 7.

The spring (139) may be made of a non-ferrous spring or may be made of a synthetic resin material.

The spring (139) can have one end fixed to a stop plate (135) and one end fixed to a magnet (120).

The spring (139) can be placed in the central pipe (132) by separating and combining a pair of body units (131a).

The spring (139) can be placed in the upper pipe (133) by opening and closing one side of the first upper pipe unit (133a).

The spring (139) can be placed in the lower pipe (134) by opening and closing one side of the first lower pipe unit (134a).

The spring (139) normally pulls the magnet (120) so that the magnet (120) is separated from the inner surface of the block (110), and when the magnet (120) is pulled by a magnetic force stronger than the elastic force of the spring (139) from the outside of the block (110), the spring (139) relaxes and allows movement of the magnet (120).

Accordingly, the magnet (120) can generate sound by colliding with the inner surface of the block (110).

For example, when a magnetic block (100) is connected to other magnetic blocks, the magnet on the surface attached to the other magnetic block can generate a sound when it collides with the inner surface of the block.

Due to this, the magnetic block (100) can enable users of the magnetic block (100) to recognize the attachment status with other magnetic blocks attached to it, and can also greatly stimulate interest and fun in the magnetic block (100) through sound.
