An assembly structured to form a customizable, variably configured geometric structure, which includes a plurality of hubs each having an interior chamber and a plurality of housings. Each housing includes an open ended interior channel communicating with the interior chamber of a common hub. A plurality of elastic links are each retained within and extend outwardly from a different one of said interior channels, wherein at least one elastic link of each hub is retained within a housing and connected to one other of said plurality of hubs. A predetermined number of the plurality of hubs may be disposed in interconnected relation to one another to define a closed, continuously configured array of hubs. A plurality of the closed, continuously configured array of hubs may be disposed in interconnected relation to one another to define one of a possible plurality of the customizable, variably configured geometric structures.

A kit of parts is provided for a functional toy, such as a children's walker or push along wagon. The kit includes one or more connector(s) having a first and second end, and a radially extending flange therebetween; and one or more foam element(s) with at least one essentially planar surface having at least one opening extending perpendicular to the surface for receiving at least the first end of the connector. The connector flange is configured as a stopper for the insertion of the first end into the foam element opening. When the first end is inserted into the foam element opening to the stopper position, and a further suitable amount of force is applied, the flange of the connector is countersunk into the surface of the foam element, and remains countersunk after the further force is removed due to the frictional force between the connector and the opening.

Embodiments relate generally to play structures and assembly methods for play structures. A play structure may comprise at least one floor panel comprising at least one hole into a side surface of the floor panel; at least one side wall panel configured to attach to the at least one floor panel and comprising at least one hole through the thickness of the side wall panel; and at least one bracket configured to at least temporarily attach the floor panel to the side wall panel, wherein the at least one bracket comprises: a first section configured to be inserted into and held in place within the hole of the floor panel; and a second section attached to the first section configured to protrude from the floor panel and to be inserted into and held in place within the hole of the side wall panel.

The invention relates to a modular construction system comprising at least one object and a coupling element releasably connectable to the object, wherein: the object comprises at least one surface with at least one opening, which opening comprises a number of inward extending lips arranged distributed over the periphery of the opening; the coupling element comprises a body with an axial axis arrangeable in the opening, which body is provided along its outer periphery with at least one outward extending locking cam; wherein the coupling element is arrangeable in at least one arranging orientation in the opening of the object, and is rotatable in the opening relative to the object to at least one locking orientation, in which locking orientation the coupling element is locked in an axial direction and a rotational direction. The invention also relates to a coupling element, object and tool intended and configured to form part of such a modular construction system. External elements such as a skin plate, a fabric, a cord or the like can be attached to a structure according to the invention by means of an attaching element with a shank and a widened head, which shank can be inserted releasably into a continuous opening of a coupling element.

Provided is an artwork that enables various abstract expressions and can reduce transport cost. This artwork is constituted by a combination of a plurality of parts having various shapes. Each part is provided with a joint portion. The joint portion has a cylindrical body having a prescribed length and a continuous thread bolt attached to an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body. The continuous thread bolt is fixed into a hole formed in the part, with the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body attached in contact with or close to the part. The parts are joinable to and separable from each other by contacting the joint portions of the parts to each other at end surfaces of the cylindrical body and passing a shaft through the cylindrical bodies.

A building toy and a method of building with it. The toy is designed to be constructed of a rigid and generally non-deformable material such as, but not limited to, wood and particularly hardwood, and is constructed in the fashion of a log-style building toy. The toy utilizes interconnecting notches in its construction, but provides for a variety of specialized pieces which allow for interconnection of parts where there is one notch but not another, as well as the ability to build roofs, floors, and specialty structures such as fireplaces through the use of specialized components. Further, the use of more strongly connecting components allows for stronger structures to be built. This includes, but is not limited to various types of bridges, including arch, suspension, and cable stay.
