Definitions

  • the present invention relates to parts for constructing real or imaginary objects.
  • the present invention relates to parts which can be assembled together and combined with each other so as to construct existing or imaginary forms.
  • LEGO is a registered trademark of the Lego Group.
  • Such construction systems involve the use of interlocking bricks and can be used to form a vast range of real or imaginary objects in a manner which more or less corresponds to the desired form.
  • Said pieces have a substantially flat form and have at least one incision with a width substantially the same as the thickness of the piece.
  • the pieces have substantially the basic form of the particular object to be reproduced.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to overcome, at least partly, the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • a first task is to provide pieces and/or parts for constructing real or imaginary objects.
  • the present invention relates to a construction toy kit comprising a plurality of assembly pieces 12.
  • Each of the pieces 12 has a substantially surface-like extension and has at least one engaging hole 14. Furthermore said pieces 12 have at least one incision 16 along a side section 18.
  • the incision 16 of a first piece 12 is suitable for engagement with the incision 16 of a second piece 12 when the edge section 18 of the second piece 12 is arranged perpendicularly with respect to the surface of extension of the first piece 12 in the vicinity of the incision 16.
  • the kit is characterized in that it comprises a joining pin or peg 20 which is designed to be engaged with each of said engaging holes 14 in said pieces 12 when the pin 20 is arranged perpendicularly with respect to the surface of extension of the piece 12 in the vicinity of the engaging hole 14.
  • the pieces 12 have, in the vicinity of the at least one incision 16, the same thickness, and the width of the at least one incision is substantially the same as said thickness.
  • the pieces according to the invention may have a polygonal form, for example:
  • the pieces 12 extend substantially in the manner of a flat surface.
  • the joining pin 20 comprises longitudinal incisions 22, as shown in Figure 20a and 20b . These incisions 22 have the function of facilitating engagement between the joining pin 20 and hole 14, although this is performed by means of interference.
  • the pieces 12 and the joining pin 20 may be made of a material chosen from the group comprising: wood, cardboard, metal and polymer material.
  • the interlocking pieces have a square, rectangular, triangular and circular form; the square piece has dimensions of 30x30, a central hole and four lateral incisions (engaging points), one on each side; the rectangular piece has dimensions of 30x60, a central hole and six lateral incisions (engaging points); the triangular piece has dimensions of 30x60, a central hole and three lateral incisions (engaging points); the circular piece has a diameter of 40 mm, a central hole, plus eight incisions (engaging points) on the circumference.
  • the larger-size pieces may have several holes.
  • the sizes of the pieces and those of the incisions are precisely predefined, as are also their distances and dimensions.
  • the sizes of the square piece are as follows: 30x30, 60x60 mm and 90x90, 120x120 mm; those of the rectangular piece: 30x60 mm, 90x30 mm, 120x30 mm, 150x30 mm, 180x30 mm and larger sizes; those of the triangular piece: 50 mm per side (50x50x50), 80 mm per side (80x80x80), 100 mm per side (100x100x100) and 130 mm per side (130x130x130); those of the circular piece: diameter 40 mm, diameter 60 mm, diameter 80 mm and diameter 100 mm.
  • the distance between the engaging points is always 30 mm in all the pieces, except in the circular pieces where it is 40 mm (for a piece with a diameter of 40 mm), 60 mm (for a diameter of 60 mm), 80 mm (for a diameter of 80 mm) and 100 mm (for a diameter of 100 mm).
  • the pieces may be made of wood, light metal alloys, PVC or non-toxic and fire-proof substitute materials.
  • the invention is designed for children from the age of two upwards and is intended to stimulate their creativity and imagination while playing games.
  • the objects and the toys, once formed, may be kept and therefore used, in turn, as objects and toys per se or else disassembled and reassembled so as to create new objects.
  • the accompanying Figure 12 shows the circular shaped engaging system.
  • the accompanying Figure 16 shows the triangular shaped engaging system.
  • toys which can assembled already exist, but they form predetermined objects (for example a house) or various objects by arranging on top of each other and fitting together parts of various sizes (e.g. bricks).
  • the limitation (and the object) of the games of the first type is that the result cannot be varied; while with the games of the second type it is not possible at all (or only with great difficulty) to form objects with a rhombus-like, circular, prismatic or pentagonal/hexagonal form.
  • the innovation consists in the fact that, owing to the various geometric forms of the pieces, the central hole and the lateral incisions, it is possible, by fitting said pieces together, to form toys, objects and structures of any shape and size.
  • a further innovation consists in the thin nature of the pieces which can therefore be used to form open "rooms” inside which it is possible to place and remove easily further objects (e.g. a house with furniture).
  • the kit may also comprise pieces 12 without an engaging hole 14, as shown in Figures 2a, 2b and 15 .
