A building block toy set having flat plate elements containing semi-circular recesses located along the periphery thereof. The flat plate elements are interconnected utilizing various configurations of interconnection elements that are received within the recesses. The flat plate elements may have various geometric shapes such as triangles, squares and rectangles. The multi-configured interconnection elements allow for numerous plate element interactions, which enable the creation of a large variety of structures.

A diagonal toy piece for a modular toy building set including an underlying support structure for supporting the diagonal toy piece and other toy pieces. The diagonal toy piece is a generally planar member having a top side and a bottom side, two outside edges having respective outer ends spaced from one another, and a diagonal edge joining the outer ends of the outside edges. For mounting the diagonal toy piece on the underlying support structure, the bottom side of the toy piece has an attachment fitting removably attachable to the support structure. The attachment fitting is preferably spaced from the diagonal edge of the toy piece. The diagonal toy piece can be joined with another, complementary diagonal toy piece via a connector on its diagonal edge which is releasably connectable to a cooperating connector on the complementary diagonal toy piece. The toy building set includes a plurality of generally planar toy pieces mountable on the support structure, including one or more of the diagonal toy pieces or composite toy pieces.

A building block for a construction toy is characterized by having one or more studs projecting from one side and a corresponding number of recesses formed in the opposite side. The studs and recesses are of an equilateral polygonal configuration, preferably having an even number of sides, preferably eight. At least some of the surfaces of the studs are formed to have a negative taper, making the studs slightly larger at the top than at the base. The recesses also are formed such that the walls have a slight negative taper, making the recesses slightly narrower at the open end than farther down in the recess. When a pair of blocks is assembled by inserting one or more studs of one block into one or more recesses of an adjacent block, the negatively tapered configuration of the studs and recesses provides for a tactilly sensible snap action, which is pleasing to the user and also provides a secure assembly. The height of the studs, in relation to their width, is relatively low, which facilitates disassembly of connected blocks, when desired, by applying tilting force to the blocks.

A block assembly is formed by assembling regular polygonal block plates and columnar joint blocks together. Each regular polygonal block plate has a coupling socket in each side surface thereof. Each joint block, which is brought into contact with one side surface of the block plate, is provided on at least two of its side faces with plugs adapted to detachably fit in the sockets formed in the block plate.

A plurality of blocks, used for a block toy, each of which is formed by mutually connecting unit blocks selected from a first to a 25th unit block, the unit blocks being made by cutting an imaginary base block by four horizontal imaginary cutting planes parallel to each other and four vertical imaginally cutting planes parallel to each other in such a way that each unit block is designated the first to 25th unit block, respectively, arranged from left to right and from top to bottom. In order to build up a structure, a first and a second group of blocks are used in combination. That is, the blocks of the first group are structured by connecting a unit block or unit blocks selected from the 11th through 15th unit block to the unit blocks corresponding to the second, fourth, seventh through ninth, 17th through 19th, 22nd and 24th unit block, while the blocks of the second group are structured by connecting a unit block or unit blocks selected from the second through fourth unit block and/or the 22nd through 24th unit block to the unit blocks corresponding to the seventh through ninth, 12th, 14th, and 17th through 19th unit block.

A construction set for toys and like objects includes pluralities of different basic components. The basic components are a main strut member, an auxiliary strut member, an articulated strut member, an inline connector member, a panel member, and a wheel member. All components, except the panel member, can form identical connection joints with one another anywhere on multiple sides of the components. The panel member has main and auxiliary projections along opposite edges and protuberances mounted on one side of the panel on the main and auxiliary projections. The wheel member has inner and outer rings mounted to one another for relative rotation. The inner ring of the wheel member can receive one of the main strut members in an interfitted relationship.

A toy block comprising:sheet material folded to form a toy block having a plurality of planar surfaces.a plurality of holes formed on at least one of the planar surfaces; anda plurality of protrusions removably retained by the folded sheet material and extending outwardly from at least one of the planar surfaces,whereby the protrusions of one block are arranged for selectable and removable interlocking interengagement with the holes of another block.
摘要:
A solid rectangular building block for a toy building set which is intended to interlock frictionally with like building blocks. The building block has a plurality of intersecting grooves formed in its faces in a predetermined patterned, and it also has a number of tongues extending outwardly from certain other faces which are intersected by the grooves and which are intended to fit into the grooves of like blocks in a frictional relationship with the grooves.
