Abstract:
An infant toy for drawing a colored picture, comprising:a pair of substrates;a multi-cell structure arranged between said substrates and including a number of cells;said cells being previously classified into a desired number of regions;dispersions encapsulated in said cells of said regions in such a manner that the regions adjacent to each other exhibit colors different from each other, respectively;said dispersions each including magnetic particles having a respective one of the different colors put thereon, a dispersion medium and a coloring agent constituting a background;whereby contacting a magnetic means with a surface of one of said substrates over different regions of said regions permits the magnetic particles having a corresponding one of the different colors to be attracted onto said one substrate for every region contacted, so that a trace on said one substrate contacted by said magnetic means exhibits a multi-color display wherein the magnetic means causes the magnetic particles to translate through the dispersion medium to a surface adjacent the magnetic means so that a difference between the color of the magnetic particle adjacent the surface and the coloring agent in the dispersion medium as a background is realized while those portions of the substrate not contacted by the magnetic means remains the color of the coloring agent.
