Toy construction block kit
A toy construction block kit is disclosed. The basic unit of the toy construction block unit has three basic sides, with two side walls and a connecting wall. Each of the two side walls have ‘tongues” extending from their interior sides. The back connecting wall has means for reversibly capturing the tongues. The construction block units have two tongues that stick out from opposing walls, and a distal part which contains a double receiving clip. As each construction block unit has the two tongues and a double receiving clip, when two blocks are pushed together, they double lock. The construction block unit can be attached to one or more other construction block units, or could be attached to a blank cube.
CONNECTION DEVICE AND SYSTEM
A connection device and system is disclosed that is made up of a flexible grid and durable connectors for removable insertion into spaces of the grid.
ALL DIMENSIONS FREE CONNECTION MAGNETIC BUILDING BLOCK
The present disclosure provides a magnetic building block for connecting with other magnetic building block. The magnetic building block includes a base, a cover, at least one horizontal magnet and at least one vertical magnet. The base includes at least two vertical accommodating grooves and at least one horizontal accommodating groove. The cover is configured to connect with the base and cover the at least two vertical accommodating grooves and the at least one horizontal accommodate groove. The at least one horizontal magnet is located at the at least one horizontal accommodating groove. The at least two vertical magnets are located at the at least two vertical accommodating grooves respectively. Magnetic pole directions of two adjacent vertical magnets of the at least two vertical magnets are opposite to each other.

Building toy
The invention relates to children's construction kits for assembling building toys from connecting elements. The technical result is an increase in functional capabilities, permitting the assembly of simple and complex spatial constructions with dynamic properties. This technical result is achieved by virtue of a building toy consisting of a set of flat shape-forming and decorative modular elements made of a flexible resilient material and having fastening elements attached to the surfaces thereof, said fastening elements forming detachable joints capable of holding together connected portions of the surfaces, wherein each of the fastening elements takes the form of the centre of axial rotation of at least the held portion of the surface of a connected modular element, and each of the shape-forming modular elements has on its opposite surfaces at least one coaxial pair of fastening elements which are rigidly interconnected and have oppositely oriented mating surfaces.
BULDING SYSTEM FOR CREATING THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURES
The invention relates to a building system for creating three-dimensional structures (39), which structures (39) are comprised of a plurality of polyhedralunits (37), each unit (37) being hingedly coupled to at least one adjacent unit (37), wherein the plurality of hinged units (37) are arranged to be interchangeably manipulated between various forms of said three-dimensional structures (39). The system further comprises at least two types of plate-like building elements (3), a single-piece element (1) and a double-piece element (33) that is comprised of two single-piece elements (1) arranged adjacent each other and being hingedly attached to each other at one of the edges (7) of each of the two adjacently arranged single-piece elements (1). An inner portion (5) of each edge (7) of each element (3) is furthermore provided with coupling means (9) arranged for coupling elements (3) together along their edges (7) so as to create polyhedral units (37). Each polyhedralunit (37) of a completed three-dimensional structure (39) is comprised of at least one single-piece element (1) and at least one double-piece element (33). The invention further relates to a three-dimensional structure (39) created by means of the building system.
Multi-image brick mosaic and systems and methods for production thereof
A multi-image brick mosaic depicting a plurality of images each from a different viewing angle and systems and methods for building it. The multi-image brick mosaic includes a plurality of interlocking bricks assembled on baseplate(s) where the interlocking bricks are divided to multiple brick sets each associated with a respective one of multiple images. The top facet of the interlocking bricks of each group are aligned to a respective one of multiple angles. Instructions are computed for selecting the color of the top facet of each interlocking brick based on color analysis of a respective pixel group of a respective image mapped by the respective interlocking brick. Further instructions are computed for assembly of the interlocking bricks on the baseplates(s) to form the multi-image brick mosaic depicting multiple pixelated versions of the images, each pixelated image is clearly viewable from a respective one of the angles.
TOY CONSTRUCTION ELEMENT
A toy construction element is disclosed having a body with at least one projection extending therefrom and a plurality of complementary-shaped recesses formed therein. The recesses extend along at least two different axes and are configured for receiving a corresponding projection from like elements so as to allow like construction elements to be interconnected in three dimensions. The projections and/or recesses may be formed with snap-fit interlocking features whereby the element is configured for interlocking engagement with like elements. The snap-fit interlocking features can include complementary locking formations formed on each projection and each recess. The formations are configured to pass over each other as the projection of one element is received in the recess of another element when like elements are assembled, and the recess is at least in part defined by a resilient component that flexes to resist passage of the formations during assembly and disassembly.
Magnetic toy block
A magnetic toy block and a kit suitable for the composition of toy assemblies. The magnetic block comprises a hollow body consisting of a first and a second shell member, identically configured with peripheral contact surfaces to contact with peripheral surfaces of other magnetic blocks of an assembly; each shell member is provided with male and female junction elements, which may be press-fitted into the female junction elements respectively into the male junction elements of another shell member in an assembled condition of the block. The junction elements extend inside the hollow body of the block in a direction parallel to a reference axis, at magnetic contact zones of the peripheral contact surface of the block; permanent magnets or ferromagnetic connection elements are housed in the female junction elements of one or both shell members of the toy block.
