Also known from the toy market are such blocks for building toys, generally referred to as Lego blocks or blocks of a similar construction. A set of blocks for toy-building is known from the Polish patent specification No. 44786, containing most of the hollow blocks open on one side and adapted to be joined together by projections, protruding from the lower sides of the blocks, some of which are provided with at least one projection (projection primary) on the lower opposite open side, and a certain number is provided with one protrusion (secondary protrusion) placed inside the block, the essence of which is that the position and dimensions of the secondary protrusions in relation to the positions and sizes of the primary protrusions are such that in a pair of the connected blocks, the lateral side or sides of at least one primary protrusion of one block are grafted onto the side or sides of at least one secondary protrusion of an adjacent block. In these blocks, the projections have a cylindrical shape and the secondary projections are located in the median plane of the open side of the block.
