Abstract

A system of modular components is disclosed, allowing to build toy constructions. The system comprises two kinds of modules referred to as active modules and passive modules. The active modules are provided with magnets while the passive modules are of non-magnetized metallic or semimetallic material so as to be attracted by the magnets. In this way toy constructions of any kind can be built by simple juxtaposition of active modules only or active modules alternated with passive modules.
