A tension compression structural unit and method of assembling structures that comprises endwise interlapping configuration of at least three elongate members into a tension compression structural unit whereby tensegrity is maintained by tensioning a first end of each elongate member against respective first ends of each other elongate member, in interlapped array, and then anchoring each second end of each elongate membereither onto a ground surface or by interlapped configuration with additional elongate members. A stable, domic structure is thus erectable without the need of additional tensioning elements such as wires or cables, for example.

The three-dimensional object has a plurality of parts and a joining member that joins these parts. The joining member is independent from the parts. At the time of separating the parts from each other, the joining member is broken by pulling with a certain or greater strength one of the parts from the other in a direction in which one of the part is drawn apart from the other, or by rotating with a certain or greater strength one of the parts relative to the other about the part's center axis.

Interlocking panels are assembled to form modules, and the modules are assembled to form a modular display case, for displaying, transporting and storing objects such as models, display items or valuable collectibles. The interlocking panels include interlocking side edge ball key tab including a resilient, compressible ball key, and ports for removably receiving the ball key tab and ball key.

The invention relates to producing kits for games and souvenirs. The invention consists in a node for connecting moving elements thereof in order to perform a connecting action using two groups of components. A first group of components and a second group of components are connected by means of inserting protrusions, which are positioned along opposing edges of at least two individual components of the second group, in at least two rectangular connecting apertures of one of the individual components of the first group, and which are disposed symmetrically relative to a central aperture on each of the individual components of the first group. The second group of components contains at least two individual components which are made in the form of symmetrical pairs. The result consists in the fastest and most-reliable assembly of the node.

A multipurpose game apparatus disclosed by the present invention includes at least a foundation, at least a combining slab and at least a shackle. The combining slab is provided with a wavy edge to facilitate installing the combining slab on a wavy slot of the foundation. When two foundations are connected together, two inverted hooks at an end of the shackle are hooked respectively in a snap hole on a left side or a right side of the foundation for positioning. Therefore, by combining the abovementioned elements, a game apparatus in all kinds of combinatorial change in routes can be formed.

The present invention proposes a toy building block which is configured such that the toy building blocks may be easily coupled to each other, and a coupling angle may be easily adjusted, and accordingly, the toy building blocks may be transformed into toys having various shapes, may increase the interest of children or infants, may be assembled in various manners, thereby improving intelligence development, and connecting portions may be reinforced, thereby increasing coupling force between the connecting portions. The toy building block is provided with a body 110, a frame member 100, a connecting member 200, and a skin member 300.

To provide a block that makes connection possible even using a flexible material.

The present invention relates to an assembled block set (500) that can be assembled from assembly blocks (100) formed from elastic materials, from rigid materials, or from an elastic material and a rigid material. Through-holes are formed in the assembly blocks (100), and assembly is possible using assembly stick blocks that pass through the through-holes in the blocks (100).

A toy construction set includes at least one rigid peg building element that includes a coupling system that includes at least one peg coupling element; at least one rigid grid building element including a grid coupling system; and at least one flexible panel building element including a panel coupling system. The grid coupling system includes a plurality of coupling elements arranged in a uniform two-dimensional array structure. The coupling elements are configured to couple to a plurality of mating coupling elements of a building element external to the toy figure construction set. The panel coupling system includes at least a panel coupling element configured to be removably attachable to one or more of the grid coupling element of the at least one rigid grid building element and the at least one peg coupling element of the rigid peg building element via a frictional engagement.

The present invention relates to a play and learning platform and, more particularly, to a collection of multi-use cardboard box structures that can be connected to form a variety of play or room configurations that, in conjunction with various content, technology applications and, interactive communities, provide a multi-use play and learning platform for children. Also described is a grommet and connector system for connecting a plurality of play structures with one another.

Hobby mechanical kits are provided. Kits illustratively include a hobby servo motor having a rotatable output shaft. The output shaft has gear teeth distributed around an outer diameter of the shaft. Certain embodiments of kits also include a hobby servo horn and a channel. The hobby servo horn has an inner diameter with gear teeth that correspond to the hobby servo output shaft gear teeth. The channel has a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel. The hobby servo horn and one of the panels of the channel include a star-shaped connection point.
