Embodiment Construction

[0022]In FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 are shown different embodiments of building elements according to the present invention. From the description below it will be evident to the skilled person that many different embodiments than the ones shown on FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 are possible to suggest in order to provide many different possibilities for building a toy construction, such as a toy figure or the like.

[0023]In the FIGS. 2 to 4, the building element has different numbers of balls 1, 2 being connected to each other via two different types of connecting rods 3, 4 where the first type of connecting rods 4 has a cross section being larger than the cross section of the second type of connecting rods 3.

[0024]The embodiments according to FIGS. 3 and 4 has identical sockets each formed by two jaws 5 having a concave surface 6 designed for providing a snap fit on any of the balls 1, 2, so that the socket 5 can slide on any of the balls 1, 2 without being released from the ball 1, 2. In FIG. 3 the jaws a...

Abstract

A toy building set comprising a group of building elements, each having at least one ball 1, 2 arranged on the building element, and where the ball 1, 2 is connected to other parts of the building element via a connection rod 3, 4, and where the toy building set further comprises at least one element having a socket formed by two jaws 5, being arranged and adapted for receiving said ball 1, 2 in order to form a ball and socket joint, and where the cross section of the connection rod 3, from where it is connected to the ball 1 and at least a distance away from the ball 1, is smaller than the cross section of the ball 1, so that it gives a certain degree of freedom for the socket to rotate around the ball 1. The connection rods 3, 4 also comprise connections rods 4 having a relatively large cross section, so that the connection rods 4 with a relatively large cross section reduces the degree of freedom for the socket to rotate around the ball 2.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a toy building set comprising a group of building elements, each having at least one ball arranged on the building element, and where the ball is connected to other parts of the building element via a connection rod, and where the toy building set further comprises at least one element having a socket arranged and adapted for receiving said ball in order to form a ball and socket joint, and where the cross section of the connection rod, from where it is connected to the ball and at least a distance away from the ball, is smaller than the cross section of the ball, so that it gives a certain degree of freedom for the socket to rotate around the ball.[0002]Thereby it is possible for e.g. a child to build constructions, such as toy figures having articulated body parts.DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART[0003]An example of such a toy building set is known from EP patent application no. 856341 disclosing a number of separate building elements that can be co...
