Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a kit for assembling a plurality of components to be interconnected to make toy buildings, in particular toy vehicles .
  • kits for making toy buildings are available, each providing several and different interconnecting elements to rigidly connect the several components to each other and/or to allow an articulated movement in respect to each other.
  • An example of such a connection is provided in the Application PCT WO 03/031011 wherein a fork component receives between the two properly bored arms of the fork a likewise bored hub of a second component, such components being connected to each other by a pin, provided with a small axial land, which snap-engages the cylindrical bore wall made in the second component hub, ensuring a reliable retention within the cylindrical bores of the two components.
  • the main element that characterizes the present invention, is a splined linking rod having alternate outer longitudinal lands and grooves cooperating with one or more components having alternate inner longitudinal grooves and lands, or with connecting sleeves, having likewise alternate inner longitudinal grooves and lands.
  • couplings of the several building pieces can be achieved, capable of allowing their respective positions to be maintained, or connecting sleeves for joining two splined rods with a rigid coupling, i.e. a coupling which does not allow a rotatory movement in respect to each other, as well as sleeves with a inner cylindrical cavity to be mounted on a splined rod in order to allow a rotatory movement in respect to said splined rod or to act as a spacer.
  • the splined rod according to the present invention is also capable of cooperate with linking elements, apt to allow a 90° joining of the several components having splined cavities disposed at 90° in respect to each other.
  • end elements with a splined central bore are provided, capable of cooperating with said splined rods .
  • Figures IA, IB, and 1C show in a front view, a side view and a perspective view, respectively, a splined rod according to the present invention
