20090186553 | INTERLOCKING TOY BRICKS - Toy brick or block elements in particular of artistic and educational type, in which a plurality of brick elements made of a variety of different colors and a variety of different shapes are interlocked between each other by means of tongues and corresponding grooves to build a great variety of precise and coherent patterns or designs. | 07-23-2009 |
20090215357 | BUILDING BLOCK TOY SET - A building block toy set has first and second blocks each having a first connection device at the upper end and a second connection device at the lower end which is releasably mateable with the first connection device on the other block, whereby the first block is connectable on top of the second block in a first configuration and the second block is connectable on top of the first block in a second configuration. Each first connection device has an actuator formation on the first connection device and at least the second block is a smart block having a sensor assembly associated with the second connection device which is activated by the actuator formation when the second block is interconnected with the first block in the second configuration. A processing unit is mounted in the smart block and associated with the sensor assembly to produce a sensory output signal when the sensor assembly is activated. | 08-27-2009 |
20100009593 | TOY BUILDING SET, CONNECTOR FOR A TOY BUILDING BLOCK, AND TOY BUILDING BLOCK - A toy building set, including a set of building blocks, in at least some of the sides of which there are slots parallel to the sides, in which there is a locking recess and a connector series, including a set of connectors intended to join the building blocks to each other, in which there are arms joined to each other and equipped with tips, and which arms can be fitted into a slot of a building block, the tips fitting into the locking recess, to join the building blocks to each other. The locking recess is a locking slot pair arranged on the bottom of the slot, which is arranged to expand the slot in the direction of the side of the building block and the arms of the connectors are arranged to be formed of rigid lugs, at the end of which is the said tip, and a shank connecting the lugs to each other. | 01-14-2010 |
20120135665 | INTERACTIVE BUILDING BLOCK TOY - An interlocking toy block set may include at least two blocks with at least one constraining groove formed in a surface of each of the at least two blocks. At least one connector may have at least two attachment members formed thereon. The attachment members may have a cross-sectional shape corresponding to a cross-sectional shape of the constraining grooves. | 05-31-2012 |
20140308872 | TOY BUILDING BLOCKS - A toy block adapted to be interconnected, the block includes one or more block faces having an outer surface intended for abutment against an outer surface of a corresponding toy block, connector holes, connector pegs, and the connector pegs frictionally engage the connector holes of a corresponding block and the connectors pegs of the corresponding block frictionally engage the connector holes of the toy block. | 10-16-2014 |
20150290550 | BUILDING BLOCK CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM - A building system includes blocks having first and second side surfaces that are perpendicular to a common plane defining a subtended angle, couplers and receivers are defined in the first and second side surfaces such that chains of blocks may be coupled to one another in rows forming closed loops or non-closed chains. Rows may be coupled together by engaging core links with a block in each row and with a core rod passing through each row. Blocks in each row may include a peg and aperture engaging a corresponding aperture and peg in adjacent rows to facilitate alignment. Core rods threadably secure to other cord rods, slanted blocks, caps, and other feature blocks in order to capture a stack of rows in engagement with the core rods. Blocks including decorative features and forming parts of pivoting joints may also be included within a row. | 10-15-2015 |
20150360137 | Mosaic Structure Assembly Kit - A kit for the assembly of a mosaic structure containing an assembly tool to place blocks having various colors onto at least two interlocking core pieces. The blocks adhere to the interlocking core pieces or to each other by pressure sensitive adhesive, or alternatively, by magnetic attraction. After the blocks are placed, the interlocking core pieces are secured by engagement such as a twist-lock connection. | 12-17-2015 |
