Abstract

The bottle cap comprises cylindrical couplers on its top surface (Fig 1) only or bottom surface as well (Fig 2) so building blocks (2) with cylindrical couplers may be added vertically on top of a perpendicular bottle as in Fig 1 or ontop and inside a bottle as in Fig 2. The cap and bottle may have co-operating screw thread arrangments, conventional toy building blocks may be connectable to the cap. The block device (1) has cylindrical couplers on opposing sides surrounding one or more screw threaded cavities so a bottle (3) or bottles with screw thread necks may be attached allowing further blocks (2) to be attached by cylindrical couplers to the block device at right angles to the bottle.
