Abstract: A structure comprising two shell parts connected to each other with at least one snap connection, the two shell parts comprising, on the inner side, mutually complementary male and female snap means configured to form a snap connection, and complementarily configured abutment faces that abut on each other when the male and female snap means are interconnected. The male and female snap means comprise an external spiral-shaped protrusion configured on the male snap means, and a complementarily configured, internal, spiral-shaped protrusion configured on the female snap means configured to engage. The structure comprises rotation-preventive means configured such that the two shell parts are unable to rotate relative to each other when the male and female snap means are interconnected to form at least one snap connection.
Abstract: A toy construction system comprising toy construction elements (60) and at least one remote control device (10) and one or more remote controllable actuators (50); said remote control device (10) being configured for transmitting signals for controlling said one or more remote controllable actuators (50); said toy construction elements (60) comprising coupling members for detachably interconnecting the toy construction elements to create spatial structures comprising said one or more remote controllable actuators (50); said remote control device comprising one or more control units (21) configured such that a user may activate the remote control device by activating said one or more control units (21); wherein said one or more control units (21) are adjustable, such that a user can change the orientation of the control unit with respect to the housing of the remote control device.
