  • Constructional building set having an electric conductor
    Patent number: 5848503
    Abstract: A constructional building set has a plurality of building elements (1) with rows of coupling studs (2) arranged in modular measures (M) on one side and complementary coupling means on another side. Also included is an electric conductor (7) having a plurality of mutually insulated wires (4) to establish electric connection between a plurality of electric elements (6) incorporated in the building set. The electric conductor (7) is formed with a transverse dimension which is slighlty greater than the distance (A) between two coupling studs (2). Further, the conductor (7) with the electrically conducting wires (4) is resilient.

  • Toy Building element and a toy building set comprising toy building elements
    Patent number: 5846113
    Abstract: The invention relates to a toy building element (1,8) for use in a toy building element system comprising a number of toy building elements with coupling studs for coupling with other toy building elements with complementary coupling sockets, the coupling studs being arranged in a regular pattern with a specific modular distance relative to each other. The toy building element is characterized in that in its free state at least some of the coupling studs of the toy building element are shifted relative to the modular distance, the mutual position of the coupling studs of the toy building element being elastically changeable at least to a mutual position corresponding to the modular distance.The invention also relates to a toy building set having such a toy building element.

  • Toy building set with wall elements
    Patent number: 5803783
    Abstract: A toy building set containing wall elements for the construction of facade structures. The building set includes at least one of each of two types of wall elements: a first type of wall element formed with one opening having hinge parts for suspension of plate elements; and a second type of wall element formed with a plurality of openings, each having hinge parts for suspension of plate elements. The height of the openings in each type of wall element are equal so that the plate elements may fit into the openings of either type of wall element.

  • Toy building set and building elements therefor
    Patent number: 5795210
    Abstract: A toy building set has building elements which can be interconnected in a releasable frictional engagement. The building set comprises building elements having a first type of coupling means arranged in a two-dimensional modular pattern, and building elements having a coupling means of a second type dimensioned to touch coupling means of the first type. The building set moreover comprises building elements having a third type of coupling means, which are arranged in the two-dimensional modular pattern, but offset with respect to coupling means of the first type and dimensioned not to touch coupling means of that type, as well as building elements having at least one coupling means of a fourth type dimensioned to touch coupling means of the third type. Further, building elements for the building set are described.

  • Play and storage table
    Patent number: 5782185
    Abstract: The upper side of the tabletop (11) of the play table is formed with storage depressions (14) for the storage of e.g. toy building blocks (30). The play table has slidable building plates (20) having cylindrical coupling knobs (21) on which the toy building blocks (30) may be built. The building plates (20) are slidable between a closed position in which they cover the storage depressions (14), and an open position providing access to the depressions. The legs (40-43) of the play table are pivotally mounted so that in a folded-up position they are disposed below and in parallel with the long edges (13) of the tabletop, and in an unfolded position the legs slope outwardly so that the table stands stably.

  • Toy element comprising a holder and a thin flexible material
    Patent number: 5775969
    Abstract: A toy element having a thin, flexible material as well as a holder for it is provided. The toy element may be used in the construction of a doll house for which it constitutes a curtain and the suspension, in the form of a rod, for the curtain. An elongated cavity having a longitudinal slot through which the flexible material extends is provided in the holder. A locking part couples to the holder and secures the rod holding the curtain in position.
