A block may comprise a base comprising a first block side comprising a first side plane and a connective protrusion coupled to the base and extending distally outwardly and substantially perpendicularly from the first side plane. The connective protrusion may comprise a center pillar coupled to the base extending distally outward from the first side plane, a base portion coupled to the center pillar and the base and extending axially and substantially perpendicularly from the center pillar in a first direction, and an overhang portion coupled to the center pillar extending axially and substantially perpendicularly from the center pillar in a second direction opposite the first direction such that there is an overhang space between the first side plane and the overhang portion. The block may further comprise additional connective protrusions, and the connective protrusions of multiple blocks may enable the coupling of such blocks.

The present invention relates to a cubic element for construction toys, including three, straight, open-ended channels each formed on an adjacent different face of the cube between two opposite faces of the cube and extending in orthogonal opposite directions to each other (X,Y,Z). Each channel includes a bottom wall and two upwardly extending parallel sidewalls, wherein the width of Fa the bottom wall and the distance between the face which is distal to the channel that is extending orthogonally from the same cube face, and the sidewall adjacent the distal face, are substantially equal.

The invention comprises a plurality of rectangular prism and/or cubic blocks. The sidewalls of the blocks comprise various combinations of grooves and/or pegs. Each groove extends along the respective sidewall within which it is disposed, from a corner wherein the top wall and the respective sidewall intersect to a corner wherein the bottom wall and the respective sidewall intersect. Each peg is configured to be slidably received into a groove disposed on another block within the plurality of blocks.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for delivering a customizable feedback stimulus. In one implementation, a custom feedback device comprises a shell housing having a first shell and a second shell. The shell housing opening extends between an outer surface of the first shell and an outer surface of the second shell. A plurality of protrusions extends between the first shell and the second shell, and at least one receiving area is defined by the plurality of protrusions between the first shell and the second shell. The receiving area is adapted to house a customized portion.

A structure for coupling assembly blocks of a polyhedral shape formed of a plurality of side plates, a top plate, and a bottom plate, includes a first coupling member formed on a portion of at least one of the plurality of side plates, the top plate, and the bottom plate and a second coupling member formed on a portion of at least one of the plurality of side plates, the top plate, and the bottom plate other than one on which the first coupling member is formed. The first coupling member of one assembly block is configured to couple with the second coupling member of other assembly block in a sliding manner, in a fitting manner, or in a rotating manner.

A modular cube building block system is disclosed. An example embodiment includes: a modular cube building block comprising: a coupler including a coupler channel formed between a plurality of fins; and a plurality of nodes integrated or attached with the coupler, the plurality of nodes being cubes arranged in orthogonal rows and columns, a space between the plurality of nodes defining a T-channel configured to capture a coupler of a different modular cube building block, the coupler channel configured to capture a node group of a different modular cube building block.

A toy building assembly for providing means of creating a variety of structures includes a plurality of elements. Each element comprises a plurality of first slats, which has a plurality of second slats engaged thereto. The first slats and the second slats are layered in a 1:2 ratio thereof to define two sets of second slats. Each set of second slats extends from a respective opposed end of the plurality of first slats to define a respective terminal connector. The sets of second slats have a gap positioned therebetween to define a medial connector. A respective terminal connector of one of the elements is selectively insertable into at least one of a terminal connector and a medial connector of at least one other of the elements. The elements of the plurality of elements thus are interconnectable to create a wide variety of structures.

A building block includes at least one of a plug portion and a socket portion. The plug portion has two cantilevered tongues deflectable toward each other. Each cantilevered tongue includes a first engaging portion. The socket portion defines a chamber and has two second engaging portions. The plug portion and the socket portion are configured in such a way that the plug portion of one building block is insertable into the chamber of the socket portion of another building block, and the two cantilevered tongues of the building block deflect toward each other after insertion of the plug portion of the building block into the chamber of the socket portion of the other building block, which allows the first engaging portions of the building block to be engaged with the second engaging portions of the other building block, thereby connecting the two building blocks together.

An insert-and-twist building block structure includes a connection bar and a connection terminal unit. The connection bar has an end from which a combination projection section extends and has a conic shape. The combination projection section has an external circumferential surface formed with a bead ring including multiple raised beads intermittently arranged in a ring configuration. The connection terminal unit includes a connection terminal having an end inward recessed to form a combination cavity in a conic shape. The combination cavity has an internal circumferential surface formed with a groove ring including multiple recessed grooves intermittently arranged in a ring configuration. The recessed grooves each a middle portion forming a deep trough section and two ends each forming a shallow trough section, and a depth is decreased from the deep trough section toward the shallow trough sections.
