The present invention includes: a base section configured such that, taking the unit edge length D1 to be 1 and a cube expressed as 1×1×1 to be one unit size, the base section has a parallelepiped shape in which one or more 1-unit sizes are conjoined, and is composed of an open, hollow face taken to be the bottom, four lateral walls 3B, and a roof 3A; and cylindrical projections having a cylindrical shape and provided on the outer face of one or more of the roof 3A and the lateral walls 3B, with a diameter D2 being equal to or greater than 0.4 but less than 0.6 with respect to the unit edge length D1, and a height being (1−diameter)×(0.4 to 0.5 inclusive).

An over-molded removable posable bendable toy system may have at least two end components anchored to the ends of a posable component. The over-molded removable posable bendable toy system may also have one or more body components movably engaged to the posable component to permit movement of the one or more body components between the at least two end components. An exemplary removable posable bendable toy may be removed from one toy and used in any other toy.

The invention relates to a three-dimensional tile, of metal or plastic, having at least one face (1) with an octagonal socket (2) and another face (1) with an octagonal projection (3). Each tile is joined in this way with a similar tile, forming structures in space. The octagonal socket (2) has an inner embossed cord (7) miming along it to which a tooth (6) carried on the straight sections (4), which together with the corner sections (5) form the octagonal projection (3), attaches. The 3D tile can be used to create structures of both aesthetic and utility nature.

A toy comprising a rotor (20), an actuator mechanism (33), and a launch device (41), wherein the rotor comprises an actuator mechanism (33), and wherein the one toy building element comprises a launch device (41) in the form of a cavity, wherein the cavity is configured for receiving the actuator mechanism (33), and wherein the actuator means (50) can be inserted into a through-going slit opening (42) to cooperate with the actuator mechanism to the effect that a momentum can be transferred from the actuator means (50) to the rotor (20), whereby the rotor can be rotated and launched from the launch device, and wherein the toy comprises at least two toy building elements, of which the one toy building element (40) comprises the launch device (41), and wherein the toy building element (40) is provided with one or more of first types of coupling means (43) and the second toy building element is provided with one or more of second types of coupling means that are geometrically configured complementarily relative to the first type of coupling means, whereby the first and second types of coupling means can be interconnected to form a spatial structure comprising the launch device (41).

The invention relates to a modular education and toy block having at least one piece 10 having a body (11), a jointer (20) working with comb fitting principle (finger joint), having recesses and/or protrusions that each of them is in triangular on at least one surface of the joinder (20) which is appropriate to form new pieces (10) by combining the piece (10) with another piece (10).

A toy building element made of recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (“ABS”) material and manufactured by processing, of a resin comprising, mechanically recycled ABS polymers and/or chemically recycled ABS polymers recovered from a solvent dissolution recycling process. A method for the manufacture of a toy building element includes providing and screening an ABS waste material. The method includes recovering recycled ABS polymers from the screened ABS waste material by subjecting the ABS waste material to grinding and/or a solvent dissolution recycling process. The method includes obtaining a resin by mixing the recovered ABS polymers with one or more additive(s) and optionally one or more ABS polymers selected from the group consisting of virgin ABS polymers, chemically recycled ABS polymers recovered from pyrolysis and chemically recycled ABS polymers recovered from chemical depolymerisation. The method thereafter includes manufacturing the toy building element by processing the resin.

A configurable manual controller for manipulating images or symbols on a display is adapted for construction with matable building elements arranged by a user. The user forms the manual controller to exhibit a customized ornamental appearance reflecting the user's creative design preferences.

A combined type single stud illuminating building block includes a circuit board, an illuminating member and an outer housing. The circuit board includes a top side and a bottom side opposite to each other. The circuit board is extended to form at least one first connection portion. The bottom side includes an electrode circuit. The illuminating member is mounted on the top side and electrically connected with the electrode circuit. The outer housing includes a connection hole to receive the circuit board and the illuminating member. The outer housing is hollow and light transmittable. The outer housing includes at least one second connection portion connected with the at least one first connection portion, respectively. Thus, the combined type single stud illuminating building block can be connected with the building block having various numbers of engaging studs to enhance degrees of freedom and variability of connection.

A building toy and a method of building with it. The toy is designed to be constructed of a rigid and generally non-deformable material such as, but not limited to, wood and particularly hardwood, and is constructed in the fashion of a log-style building toy. The toy utilizes interconnecting notches in its construction, but provides for a variety of specialized pieces which allow for interconnection of parts where there is one notch but not another, as well as the ability to build roofs, floors, and specialty structures such as fireplaces through the use of specialized components. Further, the use of more strongly connecting components allows for stronger structures to be built.
