Abstract: To facilitate assembly of a piezoelectric igniter the hammer is formed in one piece with diametrically opposite lugs and the interfitting parts of the spring-receiving sleeve and the casing containing the piezoelectric crystal activated by the hammer are of noncircular cross section with a major transverse dimension greater than the free end spacing of the lugs which is, in turn, greater than the inner window separation of the sleeve.
Abstract: This invention discloses improvements to the connecting blocks for a kit for assembling toy-like configurations from blocks and solid sticks.The blocks are made in at least two pieces which have contacting surfaces. The one of the contacting surfaces is substantially smooth and the other has grooves therein. When assembled the grooves and adjacent surfaces of the two pieces form holes for the sticks to be inserted into.
