Construction set element

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of toys, including children's construction sets, and can be used during the production of elements of children's construction kits for making three-dimensional models. The present construction set element is a convex body and is provided with studs on its upper part, main grooves on its lower part, additional grooves on its side faces, and a locking button. The element is made from a contoured blank having uniform thickness of the surface formed from a pulp based on a fibrous substance. The universality of a construction set element and the combination possibilities of the elements are increased, the coupling efficiency of the construction set elements with one another is increased, and the technique for manufacturing the element is simplified.

Claims

1. A construction element comprising: a convex body having: a first half section including an upper end and side faces, the upper end having studs and main grooves, the studs and the main grooves are aligned on a central axis of the first half section; a second half section including a lower end and side faces, the lower end including grooves aligned on a central axis of the second half section; secondary grooves aligned to each other and located on: the side faces and the upper end of the first half section of the convex body and on the side faces of the second half section of the convex body; a locking button to secure the first half section to the second half section; wherein the convex body is made of a pulp based on a fibrous substance.

2. The construction set element as set forth in claim 1, wherein the pulp is cellulose.

3. The construction set element as set forth in claim 1, wherein the first half section and the second half section can be disassembled.

4. A kit comprising a plurality of construction elements according to claim 1, wherein the construction elements are joined together by coupling the studs into the main grooves and the secondary grooves of adjacent construction elements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(6) The construction set element is of a three-dimensional configuration. In a built and ready-to-use state, it includes the following component parts: on the upper portion of the element there are studs 1, in the lower part of the element, there are main grooves 2, on the side faces of the element, there are additional grooves 3, and the element has locking button 4.

(7) The element is made of a contoured blank having uniform thickness of the surface formed from a pulp based on a fibrous substance, for example, such as cellulose. It is built forming a three-dimensional construction set element fixed in a built state by locking button 4.

(8) In the ready-to-use state, the construction set element is coupled to the neighboring elements by coupling studs 1 to main grooves 2. At the same time, additional side grooves 3 allow coupling the elements of the construction set in various configurations.
