Game Tile System
A tile game system is provided that includes a plurality of two-dimensional and three-dimensional components. The two-dimensional components can include a plurality of modular tiles provided in various sizes and configurations that can be joined together to form a grid-based gameplay area. The three-dimensional components can include external boundaries for the gameplay area, internal boundaries, terrain elements such as columns and staircases, and game figures. According to aspects of the present disclosure, the external and internal boundaries can be provided with recessed sections that allow a game figure to be contained within a single grid square and prevent the grid of the gameplay area from becoming warped. According to some aspects of the present disclosure the internal and external boundaries can be illuminated and provided with removable and interchangeable light-permeable skins that allow a user to switch between various illuminated designs.
Play structure tube connector and system
The invention is a tube connector for a play structure, and a play structure system that uses such tube connectors to connect a plurality of tubes together. The tube connector has a center portion and at least one projecting member extending from the center portion. To construct a play structure, tubes are fitted over the projecting members in the tube connectors. Flexing tabs on the projecting members, which are fixed at the end of the projecting member and extend back toward the center portion, lock into openings in the tubes to secure the tubes to the projecting members and connect the tubes together into a play structure.
Construction Toy Playset with Foam Noodles and Angled Miter
The disclosed technology relates to cutting foam logs in a construction toy to a desired angle with a toy saw and a variable angled miter. The logs are then able to bend from their initial straight shape to the same angle as the angle of the wedge removed from the log. The cutting of these angles with the angled miter makes the angle of the wedges to be cut predictable and repeatable.
System of Interlocking Building Blocks
An improved system of interlocking building blocks is provided. The system of interlocking building blocks includes a top block component and a bottom block component that are removably attached to each other to form a modular block with a hollow interior. The hollow interior can interchangeably receive a number of components, for example motors, electronics, and batteries. The exterior of the modular block includes a system of octagonal openings that are shaped to receive an octagonal connector for coupling adjacent modular blocks, or for receipt of flange bearing for an axle for example. Collectively, interlocking blocks can be joined together to build and create a generally limitless number of robust and modular structures and devices.
Construction block assembly set
A construction blocks assembly set is provided. The construction block assembly set has a plurality of generally flat boxes which may be folded into generally cube, rectangle, prisms or other shaped boxes. The boxes may be easily folded and secured in the folded orientation (cube, prism, etc) without the need for tape or other securing devices. Openings on the boxes allow for a clip to be inserted into in order to secure multiple boxes together to form a fort, a house, a clubhouse, a storefront, a castle building or other structure.
Clip set for Domino toys
This invention is about the clip for barriers for domino toys. In more detail, in assembling structures with barriers, etc., it allows the use of various structures by making them using domino blocks with I shaped clips (110), H shaped clips (120), L shaped clips (130), + shaped clips (140) and C shaped clips (150). Also, this invention is about the clip set for domino toys to help children for their learning effect such as enhancing creativity by making and using the structures themselves as well as arranging the domino blocks by themselves.
TOY BUILDING BLOCK SET
A toy building block set includes a socket block piece and at least one of first and second plug block pieces. The socket block piece has a socket wall body and at least one engaging hole of a regular polygonal shape. Each of the first and second plug block pieces has a plug body and at least one polygonal insert plug configured to be inserted into and in frictional engagement with the engaging hole with a first frictional force to permit rotation of the plug block piece relative to the socket block piece by a forcible torque and to keep a predetermined angle of the plug block piece relative to the socket block piece when the forcible torque is removed. The plug body is partially inserted into and in frictional engagement with the engaging hole with a second frictional force larger than the first frictional force.
CONNECTOR WITH MULTIPLE STRUCTURAL INTERFACES
A connector includes a body that extends along a longitudinal axis from one end-face to an opposite end-face. The body has an inner surface and an outer surface, and defines a first raised block, a second raised block, and first recesses in at least one end face. The first and second raised blocks each respectively extend from the outer surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The first raised block includes a first planar surface and defines protrusions that extend from the first planar surface. The second raised block includes a second planar surface and defines second recesses within the second planar surface. Each of the body, the first recesses, the first protrusions, and the second recesses separately defines a respective structural interface. Each structural interface is configured to engage with a respective corresponding structural interface of a component and couple that component to the connector.
Interactive construction toy system
Embodiments include a construction toy kit having component parts capable of being assembled in a configuration chosen by the user. The kit may contain a connector extending from a first end to a second end, having a securement comprising a first retainer feature, a second retainer feature and a third retainer feature. The connector may further have a first grip extending from the first end toward the securement, where the first grip is sized to receive a feature of a building panel. The kit may also contain a multiple building panels of various configurations, a mat used as a base for erecting a structure and multiple sensor components. These components among others may be assembled to create structure such as a race course for robotic toys. The sensor elements may be implemented by the user to sense various actions of the robotic toy, and respond as chosen by the user.
Toy Building Systems Including Adjustable Connector Clips, Building Planks, and Panels
Building sets including one or more blocks or planks and one or more connector clips configured to engage a thickness of the planks. Various types of planks, as well as various types of connecting clips may be provided, so as to provide open-ended building characteristics to users. Some connector clips may include a mating protrusion allowing the connector clip to be coupled to a hole or receptacle of another connector clip, or hub for connector clips, or into a hole of a plank. Such clips may be pivotable relative to the structure coupled to as a result of the mating protrusion connection. The building sets may provide proportional dimension characteristics between the planks and various connector clips, hubs, etc. One or more button connector clips may be provided with one or more panels, allowing panels to be integrated into the structural framework created with the connector clips and planks.
