Abstract
A transformational toy comprises at least six polyhedron bodies, at least one connection strip for connecting the polyhedron bodies in a chain, wherein the connection strip provides hinges between every pair of adjacent polyhedron bodies of the chain, wherein the hinges facilitate movement of the polyhedron bodies between at least two different geometric transformations of a combined body of all polyhedron bodies, wherein at least one of the connection strips is connecting at least three adjacent polyhedron bodies.
Claims13
A transformational toy, comprising:
- at least six polyhedron bodies;
- a single connection strip connecting the at least six polyhedron bodies in a chain, wherein the single connection strip forms a plurality of hinges comprising a hinge between every pair of adjacent polyhedron bodies of the chain, wherein the plurality of hinges facilitates movement of the at least six polyhedron bodies between at least two different geometric transformations;
- and
- a plurality of magnets configured to stabilize the at least six polyhedron bodies in the at least two different geometric transformations.

A transformational toy, comprising:
- at least six polyhedron bodies;
- at least one connection strip connecting the at least six polyhedron bodies in a loop, wherein the at least one connection strip forms a hinge between every pair of adjacent polyhedron bodies of the loop;
- wherein each polyhedron body of the at least six polyhedron bodies comprises two connectable parts and the at least one connection strip is between the two connectable parts of each of the at least six polyhedron bodies, and
- wherein a beginning portion of the at least one connection strip and an end portion of the at least one connection strip are disposed between the two connectable parts of one of the at least six polyhedron bodies.
