The present invention of intellectual building blocks are seventeen building blocks in different shapes assembled unequally by three to six units to make a planar or three-dimensional arrangement and combination to conduct the arrangement as in a Russian block game through cooperating with a game frame disposed with three-dimensional paling rods and a guide slot, to arrange a three-dimensional pyramid through cooperating with a triangular game tray or to arrange different planar patterns through cooperating with a planar game tray so as to achieve the intellectual and edutainment effect.
An intellectual building block with coordinated game devices comprising a plurality of building blocks and a game frame is characterized that the game frame includes a bottom seat, a plurality of parallel, equally spaced and arranged paling rods disposed on the bottom seat, two pieces of lateral stop plates disposed at two ends of the bottom seat and a top plate fixed on the paling rods and the stop plates;
An intellectual building block with coordinated game devices comprising by a plurality of building blocks and a triangular game tray is characterized that twenty-eight adjacent slots are disposed on the triangular tray;
An intellectual building block with cooperated game devices comprising by a plurality of building blocks and a planar game tray is characterized that a concave slot is disposed inside a planar game tray;

The inventor of the present invention had invented a plurality of different kinds of intellectual building blocks prior to this present application, for example, Taiwan Pat. No. 398313 (U.S. Pat. No. 6,220,919)—A Spherical Building Block Capable of Transferring from a Planar Arrangement to a Stacked and Mixed Arrangement of Assembled Building Blocks for Forming Various Geometrical Shapes with Corners Having Angles 60 Degrees, 90 Degrees and 120 Degrees and Taiwan Pat. No. 398313—Stacked Building Blocks Capable of Making Various Arrangements; the abovementioned patents use nineteen, twelve or nine different building blocks to conduct planar or three-dimensional arrangements and combinations; furthermore, tray bodies or box bodies are used cooperatively for making creative arrangements to break through the traditional concept of planar combination games.
However, the prior art intellectual building block doesn't include three-dimensional stacking method as in a Russian block game, neither the arrangement starting from a certain point on a plane, nor the stacking arrangement of a seven-layer pyramid and nor a hollow and three-dimensional angled post. Therefore, in order to make the building block game more variable and challenging, the inventor of the present invention studied and developed the present invention of intellectual building blocks cooperated with games device.
Intellectual building blocks with cooperated game devices have seventeen building blocks respectively assembled unequally by three to six units to make various and creative planar arrangements and combinations; furthermore, the said building blocks are used to conduct intellectual games with different cooperated game devices, such as a game frame with a three-dimensional paling slot for making three-dimensional stacking arrangements as in a Russian block game, a triangular tray provided for conducting pyramidal stacking combinations or a planar game tray to be used for starting the game from one building block to sequentially fill up concave slots on the plate with other building blocks.
FIG. 1 is a drawing of the structure of seventeen building blocks of the present invention.
FIGS. 2A and 2B are perspective drawings of a unit of the building block of the present invention.
FIGS. 3A and 3B are plane drawings of a matrix arranged and assembled by the building blocks shown in FIG. 1.
As indicated in FIG. 1, intellectual building blocks (100) of the present invention comprise seventeen building blocks (1 to 17); each of the building block (100) is respectively assembled unequally by three to six units (101), as shown in FIG. 2A; for example, the first building block (1) is assembled by four units (101) and the seventeenth block (17) is assembled by six units (101); the shape of the units (101) can be a square, a sphere or a polygon; to convenience the description, the building blocks (100) used in the following introduction are all assembled by square units (101); in addition, since the intellectual building blocks (100) of the present invention relate to three-dimensional arrangements, each unit (101) of the seventeen building blocks (1 to 17) is coded by an English letter for easy recognition; the shape of each building block (100) is indicated as follows:
The first building block (1) is assembled by four adjacent units (101) coded as A in this shape: 1
The second building block (2) is assembled by five adjacent units (101) coded as B in this shape: 2
