Abstract

A toy building set that comprises: a first type of toy building elements (1) that are configured with at least two pro-truding parts (4,4') provided with aligned transversal openings (5,5'), a second type of toy building elements (2) that are configured with at least one protruding part (7) provided with a transversal opening (8), and a pin (3). The at least one protruding part (7) on the second type of toy building elements is/are configured for being able to be positioned between the at least two protruding parts (4,4') on the first type of toy building elements (1), whereby the transversal openings (5,5',8) are caused to be aligned, and the pin is configured such that it can be mounted in the transversal openings (5, 5',8) for interconnection with the toy building elements (1, 2). The pin (3) is provided with at least one snap-engagement bead (11) at a distance (L) from the one end thereof, said distance corresponding essentially to the width (B) of a distally arranged, protruding part (4) on the first type of toy building elements (1).

Claims (10)

1. A toy building set comprising a number of toy building elements that can be interconnected to form large structures, said toy building set comprising:

- a first type of toy building elements (1;101) that are configured with at least two protruding parts (4,4';104,104',104") provided with aligned, transversal openings (5,5';105,105',105");

- a second type of toy building elements (2;102) that is configured with at least one protruding part (7;107;107') provided with a transversal opening (8;108;108'); and - a pin (3;103);

wherein the at least one protruding part (7;107,107') on the second type of toy building elements (2;102) are configured to be able to be arranged between the at least two protruding parts (4,4';104,104',104") of the first type of toy building elements (1;101), whereby the transversal openings (5,5',8,105,105',105",108,108') are caused to be aligned; and wherein the pin (3;103) is configured such that it can be mounted in the transversal openings (5,5', 8;105,105',105",108,108') for interconnection of the toy building elements (1,2;101,102), characterised in that the pin (3;103) is provided with at least one snap-engagement bead (11;111) at a distance (L) from the one end thereof, said distance corresponding essentially to the width (B) of a distally arranged protruding part (4;104) of the first type of toy building elements (1,101).
2. A toy building set according to claim 1, characterised in that the width of the at least one protruding part (7;107,107') on the second type of toy building elements (2;102) corresponds) essentially to the distance be-tween the at least two protruding parts (4,4';104,104',104") on the first type of toy building elements (1;101).
3. A toy building set according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that at least the distally arranged, through-going openings (5,5';105,105") of the first type of toy building elements (1;101 ) are provided with a counterbor-ing (6;106) for receiving the snap-engagement bead (11;111) of the pin.
4. A toy building set according to any one of claims 1-3, characterised in that the pin (3;103) is provided with a slotting (12;112) in the area around the snap-engagement bead (11;111).
5. A toy building set according to any one of claims 1-4, characterised in that the pin (3;103) is provided with an expanded portion (9;109) at the same end as the snap-engagement bead (11;111)
6. A toy building set according to claim 5, characterised in that the pin (3) is provided with a grip (10) at the same end as the expanded part (9).
7. A toy building set according to claim 6, characterised in that the grip (10) is in the shape of a spherical element that is mounted in extension of the pin (3).
8. A toy building set according to claim 5, characterised in that the ex-panded part (109) of the pin (103) has a plane end face; and that at least one distally located, transversal opening (105,105") in a protruding part (104,104") on the first type of toy building elements (101) is/are provided with a counterboring (106) that is able to receive the expanded part (109) of the pin (103).
9. A toy building set according to any one of claims 1-8, characterised in that the protruding parts (104,104',104", 107,107') on both the first type of toy building elements (101) and the second type of toy building element (102) are provided with pairs of transversal openings (105,105',105",108,108') that are configured for being able to be aligned in pairs and interconnected by means of two pins (103).
10. A toy building set according to any one of claims 1-9, characterised in that at least some of the toy building elements (2;102) are manufac-tured from a soft and flexible material.
