Abstract (en)

A structural toy component for use as building bricks, machine parts, limbs of animals etc., is provided. Such components have at least one contact face which releasably mates with another contact face of another component. Generally, a positive engagement is required. Unfortunately, children often find these difficult to handle. In order to achieve a more efficient mating between two contact surfaces (2,3), a plurality of filaments protrude outwardly from each contact face (2,3) to engage filaments on another contact face (2,3) the filaments have complimentary inter engaging portions for example of hook-like construction (4) and of loop-like construction (5). Separable fastening materials such as those sold under the Trade Mark VELCRO may be used on each contact face.
