Way to take apart again. For these reasons, these toy building blocks have proven themselves and delight very popular with children.

The present invention is based on the object the toy building blocks described at the beginning in functional echo never to be further developed in order, on the one hand, to to increase the quality of an object built from these modules, on the other hand to allow the construction of larger objects

;. This object is achieved in that the

The catch groove of the toy building block has a second, parallel groove

is assigned the same width, such that each between and

on both sides of the circumferential grooves remaining web one opposite

the courage width has slightly greater strength.

In this way, you can snut into the two perimeters of a building «· blocks two bars of another building block are inserted, whereby the between two bars of one building block is located. before the web of the other building block has a stronger clamping effect than with the previously known building blocks. Ss can therefore not only be more stable, but also greater ob * Put together projects from the building blocks according to the invention. A further advantage of this training is to be seen in the fact that in each of the adjacent grooves of a building block Bridge of two other building blocks can be inserted so that the object is enlarged in different, parallel planes «· sera lets · If the two are laid out in parallel planes found building blocks directly next to each other in what they have in common « When the same module is plugged in, this also results in a stable connection, since the clamping effect is practically the same Level is increased as before

The embodiment described above is only suitable borrowed to build flat structures. Also about spatial structures To be able to form, the previously known building blocks have web-like strips on at least one of their flat sides, wel ~ before they can be inserted into the circumferential groove of another building block so that the two building blocks are approximately perpendicular to one another run along the levels · For a corresponding further development of this module, it is proposed according to the invention that the stegarti · on the bar a second bar at a parallel distance under the picture tion is assigned to a groove, the groove width being the width of four circumferential grooves, the strip width being the width of the circumferential side. corresponding webs so that there is also space during the construction * With objects a stable connection between in vertical plane «- /? building blocks that run towards each other

The total thickness of the building block can be chosen as desired However, it preferably corresponds to the width of the two circumferential grooves plus the thickness of the total of three webs, see above that the flat side of the building blocks merges without a transition into the outer surface of the outer webs.

Another advantage of the building blocks according to the invention is that to see that they can be built together with the known building blocks in any bright way, so that already before « existing kits supplemented and expanded with the new modules can be

As can be seen from FIG. 1, each toy building block 1 made of flexible plastic is a flat structure in the form of a disk. It therefore has two opposite flat sides 2, 3 and a circumferential surface k that is considerably narrower than these surfaces.

The building block is provided on its narrow circumference with two parallel circumferential grooves 5, between which a web 6 is left Furthermore, a further web 7 is arranged on each side of the circumferential grooves 5. The strength of the webs 6, 7 is slightly greater more than the width of the circumferential grooves 5 · To build flat ge « two adjacent webs 6, 7 of another building block can be inserted into the grooves 5 of one building block, so that there is a kind of interlocking of the building blocks exposed to the effect, since it is fixed by the two adjacent webs 6, 7 of the other building block and therefore not can dodge

Verden the end-side bars in the two grooves 5 of a building block · » If two other modules are plugged in, the result is a Ge «· form in parallel planes, whereby here, too, an increased clamping effect is exerted on the middle bar of the first building block.

For the construction of spatial images, as shown in Figure 2 for example «» placed, the building blocks 1 have on at least one of their surfaces. chigen sides £, 3 web-like strips 8, 9 on which under formation of a groove 10 are arranged next to one another at a parallel distance · The width of the groove 10 corresponds to the width of each circumference · » groove 5, the thickness of each bar 8, 9 <i * r thickness of the webs 6 or 7

To build up spatial structures, the strips 8, 9 are in the Circumferential grooves 5 inserted, with the middle web 6 at the » catch each block in the slot IO between the strips » engages.
