A toy construction set comprising operatively interconnectable blocks and connectors. Each of the blocks has one or more apertures formed in relief Each of the connectors has a base in the form of a plate or rod and a plurality of pins attached to the base in a spaced apart arrangement for interconnecting blocks. The pins are integral with the base plate. The interconnection between a block and a connector is achieved by the pins being positively engaging and releasably retained within one or more of the apertures of the blocks. The pins are oppositely disposed of a base plate so that a block can be connected to a connector on one side of the base plate, and another block can be connected to the same connector on the other side of the plate.

A method for building large-scale play structures having an ideal modularity is provided. The method includes providing panels having a thickness, a planar-quadrangle shape including a length, a width and four chamfered edges with a set of holes located along each edge, the holes located at a fixed interval relative to one another, the fixed interval providing a unit of length, a fixed-location fastening element located in each of the holes, respectively; providing a plurality of movable fastening elements each including a hand-grip to allow the respective movable fastening element to be moved between an unsecured position and a secured position without the use of tools when received by any one of the plurality of fixed-location fastening elements; and employing the fasteners to secure a plurality of the panels to one another to provide a structure that has an overall height, an overall length and an overall width, the structure including at least a pair of panels oriented one above the other and at least a pair of panels located at the same elevation and secured at right angles to one another.

A modular wing, adapted to be used on a flying device such as a toy airplane, drone, or other small fixed wing flying device, or form a part of a wind turbine or any other apparatus that requires a wing or blade, that is compatible with all block-based toy systems such as LEGO, DECOOL or KAZI. The modular wing is comprised of a series of modular aerodynamic surfaces that may be suitable for manufacture by a low-cost method such as molding or additive manufacturing such as 3D printing, typically but not necessarily from plastic, to form wing sub elements which, when assembled together, form a wing or blade such as an airplane wing or turbine blade. The modular wing may comprise cambered or symmetric wing shapes. The modular wing may be used in a static display model fully flying aerodynamic aircraft, sailing hydrodynamic boat, or aerodynamic functioning turbine.

A toy construction element includes a first face recessed from a second face by a recess height, a first peg extending from the second face, and an engaging member disposed on the first face. The first peg has a first peg height relative to the second face. The engaging member may include a column portion and a peg portion, wherein the column portion extends from a first end portion at the first face to a second end portion at which the peg portion is disposed. The column portion may have a column height substantially equal to the recess height, and the peg portion may have a peg portion height substantially equal to the first peg height. A toy construction element may be part of a toy construction assembly, in which an engaging member of the toy construction element connects to a hole defined by a flexible member.

A construction unit may have a main body formed from a flexible material. The main body may have a first side and a second side. The construction unit may have a plurality of magnetic connectors attached to the main body. A kit for construction of a structure may have a plurality of construction units, at least one flexible link, at least one active unit, and at least one control unit. A method of making a structure includes a first step of providing a plurality of construction units. There is second step of connecting at least one of the magnetic connectors of a first one of the construction units with at least one of another one of the magnetic connectors of the first one of the construction units, and at least one of the magnetic connectors of a second one of the construction units, whereby the structure is formed.

The present invention relates to a unit block having a coupling portion and an insertion portion provided in special structure and shape such that, instead of providing an assembly-type toy that makes a user build an assembly-type completed product according to the manual, the user is enabled to implement various articles by exercising creativity without feeling bored. The present invention provides a unit block, which has integrally provided coupling and insertion portions, and provides, as a means for using the same when a desired object is to be implemented.

A system of interlocking blocks and rods or tubes for rapid assembly of component infrastructures, where one or more of those components have electronics, power or other instrumentalities built into the component during manufacture, such as by 3-D printing, and the components thereof and methods therefor. The rods or tubes, blocks (for interlocking the rods/tubes) and through-holes allow not only structural stability but interconnectivity of electricity, power or other functionalities. The methodology of the present invention provides a paradigm for modeling more costly and complicated systems. Also, product packaging for products made pursuant to the present invention is scaled so as to be usable in the application of the parts.
