Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a toy building set comprising a group of building elements, each having at least one ball arranged on the building element, and where the ball is connected to other parts of the building element via a connection rod, and where the toy building set further comprises at least one element having a socket arranged and adapted for receiving said ball in order to form a ball and socket joint, and where the cross section of the connection rod, from where it is connected to the ball and at least a distance away from the ball, is smaller than the cross section of the ball, so that it gives a certain degree of freedom for the socket to rotate around the ball.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a toy building set giving the user more different ways of building articulated figures having different patterns of possible movements.
  • the group of building elements comprises a first and a second type of connecting rods, and in that the first type of connection rod, at least close to the ball, has a cross section being relatively larger than the corresponding cross section of the second type of connection rod, so that the relatively larger cross section of the first type of connection rod reduces the degree of freedom on which the socket can rotate around a ball carried by the first type of connection rod, than the degree of freedom on which the socket can rotate around a ball carried by the second type of connection rod.
  • the same socket can be mounted on two different both balls being connected to a building element by connection rods with different cross sections, and the degree of freedom on which the socket can rotate around one of the balls will be more limited than the degree of freedom on which the socket can rotate around the other ball.
  • connection rod has an axis of symmetry, and the axis of symmetry extends through the ball carried by the connection rod.
  • the axis of symmetry can preferably extend through the centre of the ball.
  • the group of building elements may comprise at least one building element having both a first and a second type of connections rods each carrying a ball. In this way the same building element can provide more different patterns of movement or articulation.
  • a very simple element can in this relation be provided, if at least two of the balls are interconnected by a common connection rod, and especially if the common connection rod has one end forming the first type of connection rod having its relatively larger cross section near one of the balls, and another end forming the second type of connection rod having its smaller cross section near another ball.
  • At least one other ball has only one connecting rod of the second type extending from it.
  • the socket is formed by two resilient jaws, each having a concave coupling surface facing the other jaw, and having a spacing that ensures that the coupling surfaces on the two jaws lies against opposite sides of the ball, when the socket is mounted on the ball.
  • the concave coupling faces on the jaws extend between two side faces, and in that the distance between the two side faces, and the cross section of the first type of connection rods are selected so that the jaws mounted on a ball carried by two of the first type of connection rods having a common axis of symmetry, can only rotate around the common axis of symmetry of the two connections rods of the first type.
  • the building element has different numbers of balls 1, 2 being connected to each other via two different types of connecting rods 3, 4 where the first type of connecting rods 4 has a cross section being larger than the cross section of the second type of connecting rods 3.
  • the embodiments according to figures 3 and 4 has identical sockets each formed by two jaws 5 having a concave surface 6 designed for providing a snap fit on any of the balls 1, 2, so that the socket 5 can slide on any of the balls 1, 2 without being released from the ball 1, 2.
  • the jaws are shown in a front view
  • the jaws are shown in a side view.
  • the ball 1, 2 being connected to a socket will form an articulated ball and socket joint, so that the building elements provide the possibility to build a number or different articulated constructions or figures by using a varying numbers of building elements according to the invention.
  • the building element according to figure 2 is designed to be used as a corpus element for building a bone structure for a toy figure, and the building elements according to figure 3 and 4 could be used to be connected to the building element according to figure 2 in order to form a bone structure for limb parts of the toy figure.
  • figure 4 is now shown a simple construction built by using the building elements according to figure 2, 3, and 4 .
  • the building element according to figure 3 is mounted on the building element according to fig. 2 by snapping the jaws 5 on a ball 1 being carried by a connection rod 3 having a relatively small cross section, and the building element according to figure 4 is mounted on a ball 2 being carried by two connection rods 4 having a relatively larger cross section.
  • the jaws 5 and thereby the building element according to fig. 4 can, due to the relatively small cross section of the connecting rod 3, rotate around the ball 1 in all directions, and with a high degree of freedom.
  • connection rods 4 carrying the ball 2 on which the jaws 5 according to the building element shown in figure 4 substantially only allows this building element to rotate around the symmetry axis S when sliding on the ball 2.
  • the building elements according to the present invention provides more different options for building a large number of different constructions or figures.
