DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring now to the drawings where like characteristics and features among the various figures are denoted by like reference characters.
Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 11, a set of castle building blocks 100 may comprise a plurality of brick units 1, a plurality of city wall units 2, a plurality of cylinder units 3, a plurality of tower units 4, and a plurality of connection units 5.
All of the above mentioned units 1˜4 has at least two blind holes 200. One of the at least two blind holes 200 is provided one of the connection units 5 to insert and fasten and the other one thereof is provided the connection unit 5 which is fastened to other units 1˜4 to detachably insert and fasten.
Each connection unit 5 includes a rod section 51 and a head section 52. A top end of the rod section 51 is connected to the head section 2. The rod section 51 may insert into the corresponding blind hole 200. The head section 52 may detachably insert into the blind hole 200 of one of the units 1˜4. The head portion 52 is exposed to the blind hole 200 of the units 1˜4 excluded the connection units. A plurality of convex arc portions 53 is inclined and extended upwardly and outwardly from the rod section 51 axially. The head section 52 includes a main body 521, a hollow portion 522, and a concave groove 523. The hollow portion 22 may pass through a center of the main body 521. The concave groove 523 is concavely formed at the main body 521 and extended from one end of the main body 521 opposite to the rod section 51 toward the rod section 51 and fluidly communicated with the hollow portion 522. A convex hook portion 524 is formed downwardly and outwardly at a peripheral of a part of the main body 521 opposite to the rod section 51.
The above mentioned rod section 51 may be coated with glue first and then insert into the corresponding blind hole 200.
Due to the arrangement of the concave groove 523, a space may be defined in the main body 521 of the head section 52 so that the head portion 52 may insert into the corresponding blind hole 200 of other units 1˜4.
Each brick unit 1 may be cube with six surfaces. The blind hole 200 is formed at a center of each surface of the cubic brick unit 1. A front side surface, a rear side surface, a left side surface, and a right side surface of each brick unit 1 may form a longitudinal concave groove 11 respectively. Each longitudinal concave groove 11 is fluidly communicated with the corresponding blind hole 200 of the same brick unit 1.
In addition, each brick unit 1 may be cylinder (shown as in FIG. 1). That is, the shape of each brick unit 1 may be modified according to the user's demands.
Each city wall unit 2 includes a wall body 21 and two protruding portions 22. The two protruding portions 22 are respectively extended from lower sides of two sides of the wall body 21 outwardly. One end of each protruding portion 22 opposite to the wall body 21 has the blind hole 200. Each connection unit 5 may insert into the corresponding blind hole 200. Each protruding portion 22 may embed into corresponding longitudinal concave groove 11 of other brick unit 1 so as to provide a space which is defined between the brick unit 1 and the corresponding city wall unit 2 to receive one of the cylinder units 3.
If the thickness of each city wall units 2 is thinner, a front side and a rear side of the rod section 51 may form a flat portion 54 respectively. The convex arc portions 53 may be axially formed at a left side and a right side of the rod section 51 (shown as in FIGS. 9˜11).
A top surface and a bottom surface of each cylinder unit 3 may form the blind hole 200 respectively. The blind hole 200 of the top surface of each cylinder unit 3 is provided the rod section 51 of the connection unit 5 to insert.
A bottom surface of each tower unit 4 forms the blind hole 200 so as to provide the head section 52 of the connection unit 5 which is inserted into the top surface of the cylinder unit 3 to insert.
The set of castle building blocks 100 of the present invention may further comprise at least one arch unit 6 which includes a door body 61 and two projection portions 62. The two projection portions 62 are respectively extended outwardly from lower ends of two sides of the door body 61. The blind hole 200 is formed at one side of each projection portion 62 opposite to the door body 61. Each blind hole 200 is inserted by corresponding connection unit 5. Each projection portion 62 may embed into corresponding longitudinal concave groove 11 of other brick unit 1.
The set of castle building blocks 100 of the present invention may further comprise at least one underbrush unit 7 which includes an underbrush body 71. One side of the underbrush body 71 is a vertical side 72. The blind hole 200 is formed at a lower end of the vertical side 72. The blind hole 200 is provided the corresponding connection unit 5 to insert. The vertical side 2 may embed into the corresponding longitudinal concave groove 11 of other brick unit 1.
Therefore according to above mentioned structure, the arrangement of the connection units 5 may make the rod section 51 insert into the blind hole 200 of one of the units 1˜4 excluded the connection units 5 and the exposed head section 52 may detachably insert into the blind hole 200 of other units 1˜4 excluded the connection units 5 so as to assemble or build a castle (shown as in FIG. 1). The concave groove 523 of the connection unit 5 is arranged so that the main body 521 of the head section 52 has the space to elastically insert into the blind hole 200 of other unit 1˜4 excluded the connection units 5. Furthermore, due to the arrangement the convex hook portion 524 of the connection unit 5, the friction between of the head section 52 and an inner side wall of the corresponding blind hole 200 may be increased to tightly fasten after the head section 52 inserts into the blind hole 200 of other unit 1˜4 excluded the connection units 5.
The foregoing descriptions are merely the exemplified embodiments of the present invention, where the scope of the claim of the present invention is not intended to be limited by the embodiments. Any equivalent embodiments or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are therefore intended to be embraced.
The disclosed structure of the invention has not appeared in the prior art and features efficacy better than the prior structure which is construed to be a novel and creative invention, thereby filing the present application herein subject to the patent law.
