Abstract

L'invention concerne une structure telle qu'un jouet ou une sculpture géométrique utilisée par des enfants ou des adultes. Cette structure comporte une pluralité de bras télescopiques, de préférence au moins trois bras, ces bras étant reliés sans utilisation de tronc intermédiaire. De préférence encore, un ou plusieurs bras comprennent des segments articulés. Ladite structure permet une variation de la longueur des bras par extension et rétraction, ainsi qu'une manipulation de la configuration des bras par pliement et rotation, d'où la possibilité de lui faire prendre un grand nombre de formes, ce qui lui confère une importante valeur récréative et artistique.
