A magnetic module with two front anchoring surfaces magnetically activatable and deactivatable by inversion of the magnetic flux; the module comprises a first and a second fixed magnetic core, each one configured with a plurality of polar elements defining a respective front anchoring surface, and a rear surface, as well as provided with a first plurality of permanent magnets arranged between contiguous polar elements, wherein homonymous poles (N, S) of the permanent magnets are in contact with lateral faces of the single polar elements, to generate alternatively induced poles of opposite polarity in each fixed magnetic core. A movable magnetic unit for an inversion of the magnetic flux is disposed between the two fixed magnetic cores, and it is configured with a second plurality of permanent magnets having poles (N, S) alternatively of opposite polarities facing the rear surface of the two fixed magnetic cores; the movable magnetic unit can be moved between a first and a second operative position for the inversion of the magnetic flux, to magnetically activate and respectively deactivate one or both the front surfaces of the anchoring module.

Herein is a modular building element that may be combined in a number of ways to form unique articles. The modular building elements may be sold as a kit and marketed as a children's toy. The modular building element may have a front and a back with fasteners disposed on at least one of the front and back. Additional elements such as support elements and connecting elements may further be included to expand upon the functionality of the modular building element.

A magnetic attraction toy includes a base, a cover body, a magnetic, attraction member and a mounting frame. The magnetic attraction member is connected with the mounting frame. The base and/or the cover body is provided with a limiting gap for accommodating the magnetic attraction member. The base is also provided with locating pillars. The mounting frame is provided with locating holes. When the locating holes sleeve the locating pillars, the cover body is covered on the base. The magnetic attraction member includes a hollow iron tube and a magnet; the magnet is located in the iron tube. The first clamping end of the mounting frame is plugged to the first opening, and the second clamping end of the mounting frame is plugged to the second opening, so that the first and second clamping pieces clamp the iron tube, and the magnetic attraction member and the mounting frame are connected.

The present invention includes: a base section configured such that, taking the unit edge length D1 to be 1 and a cube expressed as 1×1×1 to be one unit size, the base section has a parallelepiped shape in which one or more 1-unit sizes are conjoined, and is composed of an open, hollow face taken to be the bottom, four lateral walls 3B, and a roof 3A; and cylindrical projections having a cylindrical shape and provided on the outer face of one or more of the roof 3A and the lateral walls 3B, with a diameter D2 being equal to or greater than 0.4 but less than 0.6 with respect to the unit edge length D1, and a height being (1−diameter)×(0.4 to 0.5 inclusive).

An over-molded removable posable bendable toy system may have at least two end components anchored to the ends of a posable component. The over-molded removable posable bendable toy system may also have one or more body components movably engaged to the posable component to permit movement of the one or more body components between the at least two end components. An exemplary removable posable bendable toy may be removed from one toy and used in any other toy.

A modeling application is provided with at least one repetition object type for creating at least one repetition instance of at least one repetitive article in a model, wherein the repetition object type is provided to be used for creating one or more repetition objects, a repetition object comprising at least one finite geometry definition surface definition that defines a geometry definition surface and its location in the model, and guide information. One or more repetition instances of a repetitive article are determined using of the at least one geometry definition surface and the guide information.

A device for cutting and bending a hollow elongate tube. A measuring subassembly is adapted for measuring a desired size of the tube. A cutting subassembly is adapted for cutting the tube to the desired size. A bending subassembly is adapted for bending the cut tube to a desired angular orientation. The bending subassembly includes a base controlling a radius of a bend to be formed in the cut hollow elongate tube, and a user grippable handle. The user grippable handle is configured to enable a user to rotate the cut hollow elongate tube, relative to the round base, to form the bend in the cut hollow elongate tube.

A configurable manual controller for manipulating images or symbols on a display is adapted for construction with matable building elements arranged by a user. The user forms the manual controller to exhibit a customized ornamental appearance reflecting the user's creative design preferences.
