Definitions

  • This invention relates to a constructional toy. More particularly it relates to a constructional toy in which there is a relatively small number of types of components which may be used to create a relatively large number of different toys.
  • Constructional toys may conveniently be classified in two general catagories. The first of these consists of toys which may be assembled into a number of different embodiments. However, the constructed toys do not very closely resemble the articles which they are intended to. In this catagory of toys would be included “Tinker toys” and “Mechano” sets.
  • a second category of constructional toys is one In which only one or two embodiments may be constructed out of the specialized com. ponents. These one or two embodiments resemble the article which is intended to be constructed but there is provided only a very narrow range of embodiments which can be constructed from these sets.
  • the invention may be said broadly to consist in a constructional toy which comprises:
