The locking section is shaped for locking onto a connector module or an accessory module. The locking section includes locking tabs. Each connector module includes a hollow body with open end connection portions. Each connection portion includes at least two lock apertures shaped to receive opposing locking tabs of the barb mount.

The kit of construction elements includes a plurality of construction elements and a plurality of rod-like binding elements for connecting said construction elements, wherein the construction elements are in the form of square-based rectangles, and wherein on at least one of the faces of each construction element perpendicular to the base thereof at least one groove is formed in parallel to its base, and along at least one edge of each construction element a groove is formed for receiving a binding element, wherein each binding element is formed to fit into a groove along at least a part of its entire length and further provided with securing members formed to engage with complementary securing members of said groove by form-fitting or force-fitting, and wherein the grooves of the construction elements and the binding elements are sized so that during use the construction elements are substantially in contact along their connecting surfaces.

Connector for a toy system, comprising a central portion and a connecting portion, where the central portion is provided with a circular hole, where the connecting portion is adapted to be inserted into a straw, where a first side of the central portion is flat, and where a second side of the central portion is provided with a plurality of protruding circular sectors having a predefined angular spacing, where the width of a circular sector corresponds to the distance between two circular sectors. The advantage of the invention is that both rotatable and fixed joints may be provided.

A flexible interconnectable block and fastener system includes a connector panel having a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge. The connector panel is resiliently flexible and is comprised of an elastomeric material. The perimeter edge includes a first end edge, a second end edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. The connector panel is elongated from the first end edge to the second end edge. A plurality of male interconnection members is integrally formed in and extends upwardly from the top side. The male interconnection members are arranged in a plurality of columns extending from the first end edge to the second end edge and rows extending between the first and second lateral edges wherein a number of the rows is equal to or less than a number of the columns.

Invention Patent for a set of interchangeable blocks, intended to be used as toys, toys for motor development, planning and building skills development toys. The shape of blocks (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) are based on a cubic shaped block (1), with rounded edges (9), featuringat the edge shared by two adjacent sides (A and B and/or B and C and/or A and C and/or A and D and/or A and E and/or F and B and/or F and C and/or F and D and/or F and E), perpendicularly to the aforementioned sidesat least one narrow slot (10) with a perfect fit for the partial insertion (111) of the locking disc (11); the said cube-shaped block (1) is also offered as a cobblestone-shaped block (2), scalene block (3), bulged triangular block (4), rectangular triangle block (5), trapezoidal block (6), half cube block (7) and portal block (8).

A system or kit using elastomeric blocks for self-directed, multi-modal play is described herein. In a first example, the kit includes at least one geometric block made out of an elastomeric material with at least one hole and a faceted geometry. Variations in size, shape, and number of the at least one hole may change the performance of the kit when in use. In another example, the kit includes at least one elastomeric block with at least one hole and at least one connecting post. The at least one connecting post connects to at least one elastomeric block by being inserted into at least one hole in the block; the elastomeric material of the block clutches the connecting post. The properties of the kit enable multiple modes of play beyond simple stacking and construction, allowing the depth and complexity of play to mature and adapt to any age and ability.

The toy structure kit includes an accessory defining an opening, a toy structure defining an opening, and a connector having a base member and a collar, the connector configured to couple the accessory to the toy structure, the base member including a first projection member and a second projection member, the first projection member configured to extend through the opening defined by the accessory and receive the collar, the second projection member configured to extend through the opening defined by the toy structure.

Building sets including a plurality of blocks and a plurality of clips configured to engage a thickness of one or more of the blocks. Each clip includes a base and first and second substantially parallel extensions extending from the base and defining a channel therebetween into which a thickness of a block is receivable. The width of the channel is substantially equal to the thickness of the block receivable within the channel so that the thickness is frictionally retained therein. In one embodiment, the clip includes a plurality of channels.

A play structure is formed from flexible struts supporting a fabric. The struts are inserted through pockets along the edges of the fabric. The struts are joined together by connectors at apexes of the structure. The struts form an upper frame and a lower frame. The upper and lower frames are connected by battens. The struts and battens hold the fabric in a selected shape, such as a sailboat. The battens are formed from flat, flexible members that are bent about their longitudinal axis to form a C-shaped cross section. Ends of the battens are inserted into curved batten receivers on the connectors. When a downward force is applied, the upper frame is pressed toward the lower frame. The battens bend and flatten to resiliently allow the structure to collapse. When the force is relieved, the battens resiliently resume their curved shape, restoring the structure to its original configuration.
