Abstract: Interlocking toy components for the construction of structures defining various geometric configurations. The toy components of the present invention include a first component (10) having an elongated trunk portion (14). The first component (10) carries a protruding member (20) extending from the first end portion (16) of the trunk portion (14), and the trunk portion (14) is provided at its second end portion (18) with a substantially coaxial first receptor (22) for releasably receiving the protruding members (20) of other first components (10). The trunk portion (14) of the first component is also provided proximate its second end portion with a plurality of further receptors (24) radially spaced about the trunk portion (14) for releasably receiving the protruding members (20) of other first components (10). The invention also includes a second component (12) having an elongated trunk portion (34).
