DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described below with reference to accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but are not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within protection scopes of the present disclosure.
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a fidget toy, as shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a fidget toy according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The fidget toy 100 includes a covering body 1 and a magnetic assembly 2. An accommodation space 13 is defined in the covering body 1, and a material of the covering body 1 is a soft material. The magnetic assembly 2 is movably disposed in the accommodation space 13, the magnetic assembly 2 includes a plurality of magnetic components 21, the plurality of the magnetic components 21 are magnetically connected, and the plurality of the magnetic components 21 are deformable in the covering body 1.
The covering body 1 wraps the plurality of the magnetic components 21, so that the plurality of the magnetic components 21 are not easy to scatter, and the plurality of the magnetic components 21 are not easy to lost. It can be understood that common magnetic components are generally not allowed to be swallowed, the plurality of the magnetic components 21 are wrapped by the covering body 1, and are not easy to be mistakenly eaten by children, thereby avoiding risk that the children mistakenly eat the magnetic components 21 and further improving security of fidget toy 100. Moreover, users may squeeze the plurality of the magnetic components 21 through the covering body 1, thereby changing a shape of the plurality of the magnetic components 21 for achieving decompression effect. The plurality of the magnetic components 21 are magnetically attracted, the users need to apply a large external force to change the shape of the plurality of the magnetic components 21, so as to relieve the pressure. Meanwhile, the plurality of the magnetic components 21 may be shaped according to preferences of the users, thereby achieving an interesting decompression effect.
The magnetic assembly 2 may be deformable and shaped in the covering body 1, each time the magnetic assembly 2 is squeezed, the magnetic assembly 2 undergoes a deformation. Theoretically, shapes of the magnetic assembly 2 every time the magnetic assembly 2 is squeezed are different, and a force for squeezing is also different, thereby obtaining different experience of squeezing each time, and further increasing interestingness and ornamental value of a product of the fidget toy 100 through shaping of the magnetic assembly 2.
People experience a wide variety of emotions in working, living, and learning, and may feel pressure when there is motivation, when the pressure is too large, muscles of a whole body of the people cannot be relaxed. The fidget toy of the present disclosure is an auxiliary tool for temporary decompression, which may transfer attentions of the users and help the users to relax muscles of a whole body of the users. Compared with other soft ball typed fidget toys, the soft ball typed fidget toy of the present disclosure is more popular with the public, which solves a problem that the other soft ball typed fidget toys are single in function and may explode out internal substances, such as glue or water beads, when being damaged, thereby cannot meet decompression requirements of different user groups. It should be noted that an inner portion of each of the soft ball typed fidget toys is filled with gelatinous objects or water beads, and when the soft ball typed fidget toy is squeezed and is broken, the inner fillers of the soft ball typed fidget toy flow out and scatter all over, which is dirty and nausea and brings a very poor experience for the users.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , FIG. 2 is another structural schematic diagram of the fidget toy according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a covering body of the fidget toy shown in FIG. 2 . In one embodiment, the covering body 1 includes a first covering portion 11 and a second covering portion 12, and the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 are fixedly connected. The magnetic assembly 2 may be first disposed between the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12, and then the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 are fixedly connected, so that the magnetic assembly 2 is disposed between the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12.
A shape of the first covering portion 11 and a shape of the second covering portion 12 may be the same, and the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 having the same shape may be completely shared by two covering bodies having same shapes and structures, which may reduce material cost and is convenient for assembly.
The shape of the first covering portion 11 and the shape of the second covering portion 12 may also be different, for example, a volume of the first covering portion 11 is larger, the magnetic assembly 2 is first disposed in the first covering portion 11, and the second covering portion 12 covers the magnetic assembly 2 and is fixedly connected to the first covering portion 11.
In some embodiments, the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 are adhesively connected. The first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 may be conveniently and fixedly connected through adhesion. Glue for adhesion may be provided according to needs. For example, the glue may enable a pulling force at a joint of the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 to exceed 15 lbf, such as 18 lbf, 20 lbf, or 40 lbf.
In one embodiment, a connecting surface of the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 is a plane, the glue is disposed between the connecting surface, as the plane, of the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12, which is convenient for bonding the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 together.
In other embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a first covering portion of the covering body shown in FIG. 3 , and FIG. 5 is a structural schematic diagram of a second covering portion of the covering body shown in FIG. 3 . A groove 111 is defined on one end of the first covering portion 11, the one end of the first covering portion 11 faces the second covering portion 12. A clamping portion 122 is disposed on one end of the second covering portion 12, the one end of the second covering portion 12 faces the first covering portion 11, and the clamping portion 122 is clamped into the groove 111, such concave-convex design of clamping the clamping portion 122 into the groove 111 enables the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 to more tightly bond together in combination with an adhesion manner. For example, the glue is filled between the clamping portion 122 and the groove 111, which may increase an adhesive area of the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 and provides an adhesive force for the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12.
In other embodiments, the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 may be fixedly connected in other manners. For example, the first covering portion 11 and the second covering portion 12 may be fixedly connected in a hot melt manner.
In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 , the covering body 2 is integrally formed. A material forming the covering body 1 may be covered on the magnetic assembly 2, and then the covering body 1 is formed through a corresponding processing process.
In some embodiments, the magnetic assembly 2 accounts for 30% to 90% of the accommodation space 13 to achieve the best shaping space. The magnetic assembly 2 may conveniently form various shapes in the covering body 1, and does not affect shaping of the magnetic assembly 2. For example, the magnetic assembly 2 may account for 40% to 70% of the accommodation space 13.
The magnetic assembly 2 only occupies parts of space in the covering body 1, and the magnetic assembly 2 may be changed into other shapes in the covering body 1 according to operations of the users. For example, FIG. 6 is a first structural schematic diagram of the magnetic assembly, after being shaped, in the fidget toy shown in FIG. 1 , the magnetic assembly 2 may be changed into a central hollowed-out ring body in the covering body 1 according to the operations of the users. For another example, FIG. 7 is a second structural schematic diagram of the magnetic assembly, after being shaped, in the fidget toy shown in FIG. 1 , the magnetic assembly 2 may be changed into a structure similar to a heart shape according to the operations of the users.
It can be understood that the magnetic assembly 2 in the covering body 1 may also be changed into an irregular structure according to the operations of the users. For example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 , FIG. 8 is a first structural schematic diagram of the magnetic assembly, after being shaped, in the fidget toy shown in FIG. 2 , and FIG. 9 is a second structural schematic diagram of the magnetic assembly, after being shaped, in the fidget toy shown in FIG. 2 . The plurality of the magnetic components 21 in the magnetic assembly 2 are in a regular structure before being operated by the users, and are changed into irregular structures after being operated by the users, so as to relieve the pressure of the users.
It should be noted that the inner portion of each of the soft ball typed fidget toys is filled with the gelatinous objects or the water beads, so that the soft ball typed fidget toy does not generate sound in a squeezing process.
In some embodiments, the plurality of the magnetic components 21 of the magnetic assembly 2 of the present disclosure may move in the covering body 1 and generate sound, and the sound may relieve mood, provide an inner peace, and is also a very important composition in decompression function. Moreover, when the magnetic assembly 2 is squeezed, the magnetic assembly 2 generates a sound enabling a person to feel relaxed, as if the person steps on fresh snow, so as to better calm mood of the person and relieve anxiety of the person. In a squeezing process of the plurality of the magnetic components 21, friction between the plurality of the magnetic components 21 may generate sound, deformation of the plurality of the magnetic components 21 may generate sound, and conversion between an N-pole and an S-pole of each of the plurality of the magnetic components 21 may also generate sound.
In some embodiments, a sound is generated between the plurality of the magnetic components 21, and the covering body 1 is capable of isolating the sound above 600 Hz. It can be understood that low-frequency sound has a low frequency and a large wavelength, so that penetration capability of the low-frequency sound is higher than penetration capability of a high-frequency sound. The covering body 1 is made of a material that may isolate all or most of high-frequency sounds more than 600 Hz, thereby isolating the high-frequency sounds more than 600 Hz and allowing most of low-frequency sounds, such as 400 Hz-600 Hz, to pass through.
In some embodiments, frequencies of the sound generated by the friction between the plurality of the magnetic components 21 are ranged from a low frequency of 400 Hz to a high frequency of 1500 Hz, the covering body 1 has an effect of soundproofing and may block the high-frequency sound. In an audio test, the covering body 1 having a thickness of 1.5 mm to 3 mm may enable all or most of sounds, generated by the friction of the plurality of the magnetic components 21 and frequencies of which ranged from 400 Hz to 600 Hz, to penetrate through, and further isolates all or most of sounds which frequencies ranged from 600 Hz to 1500 Hz, thereby better meeting requirements of human ears for sound, and further achieving the decompression effect.
The material of the covering body 1 may be set according to needs, and only the material of the covering body 1 is a flexible material, and the high-frequency sounds are blocked, the low-frequency sounds are allowed to pass through. For example, the covering body 1 allows the sounds which frequencies ranged from 400 Hz to 600 Hz to pass through and isolates the sounds which frequencies above 600 Hz. For another example, a material of the covering body 1 is a silicone, etc.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10 , FIG. 10 is a first structural schematic diagram of the magnetic assembly in the fidget toy according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The plurality of the magnetic components 21 include a plurality of magnetic bodies 212, each of the plurality of the magnetic bodies 212 has magnetism, any two of the plurality of the magnetic bodies 212 may be magnetically attracted or magnetically repelled.

In some embodiments, the intensity of pressure in the accommodation space 13 may also be adjusted to adjust a degree of the squeezing force to obtain different experiences of squeezing, For example, a relatively large intensity of pressure, such as 1.2 atmospheric pressure may be set in the accommodation space 13, and the users may shape the magnetic assembly 2 in the covering body 1 with a relatively large strength, which is suitable for the users having relatively large strength, or is suitable for being used when the users undergoes a relatively large emotion fluctuation. For another example, a small intensity of pressure, such as 0.8 atmospheric pressure, may be set in the accommodation space 13, and the users do not need to use a large strength to shape the magnetic assembly 2 in the covering body 1, which is suitable for the users having a relatively small strength, or is suitable for being used when emotion fluctuation of the users is not large.
In one embodiment, the accommodation space 13 accommodates one of air, an inert gas, and carbon dioxide. Filling gas in the accommodation space 13 may automatically restore the covering body 1. When the covering body 1 is squeezed, the intensity of pressure of the accommodation space 13 in the covering body 1 becomes larger, and when the squeezing on the covering body 1 is withdrawn, the covering body 1 is restored to be spherical.
The soft material is provided to form the covering body 1, and air and the magnetic assembly 2 are provided in the covering body 1, a size of the pressing force may be adjusted by changing the material and hardness of the covering body 1, changing the intensity of pressure of the air in the covering body 1, and changing a proportion of the magnetic bodies 212 and the metal bodies 214 in the magnetic assembly 2. Therefore, a strength required for squeezing may be met to the greatest extent, and effects of decompression and fitness are achieved.
A quantity ratio of the magnetic bodies 212 to the metal bodies 214 may be set according to needs. For example, the quantity of the magnetic bodies 212 is 500, and the quantity of the metal bodies 214 is 100. For another example, the quantity of the magnetic bodies 212 is 300, and the quantity of the metal bodies 214 is 100.
