    • Description of the Related Art
  • A block toy refers to a toy with which one could construct a solid shape they desire by assembling small blocks made typically of plastic so that users relish the shape while such a block toy includes a plurality of, and a set of, the blocks.
  • Self-assembly toys, as a kind of block toys, have been marketed for which it is required to interlock the protuberances and slots configured in each block to complete the toy. As for such an self-assembly toy, it is, however, also required to forcefully plug each protuberance into each slot corresponding to the protuberance in each block and, even after the assembly is completed, it is not very easy to disassemble the blocks to construct another solid shape.
  • Those block toys which include blocks with magnets embedded inside have also been marketed so that the blocks are easily assembled by means of magnetism when brought proximately to each other. As for such a block toy with magnets, although it is convenient to assemble the blocks with each other by means of magnetism and also convenient to disassemble after the assembly is completed, the shape could collapse with a rather slight impact because, in most cases, the edges of the blocks are rounded and, correspondingly, binding between the blocks is not firm.
  • Although they are currently developing those block toys which have interlocking units of a variety of shapes, instead of having an interlocking structure in which protuberances and slots formed in each of the blocks fit into each other, in order to provide convenience of assembling and firmness of binding force between the blocks, it is still necessary to develop a self-assembly block toy set in which each block interlocks with each other laterally, at right angles along the side of each of the blocks, vertically or in other various ways to the extent possible so as to nurture creativity of those children who use such block toys.
  • The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and it may therefore contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
