Abstract (en)
A construction toy formed from a plurality of building blocks. Some facets of a first major block type (10) are embodied as including a plurality of radially extending vanes (16), others are complementally formed recesses (6). Preferably these recesses (6) and vanes (16) are disposed on top (2) and bottom walls (12) of the building block (10). A periphery (1) is provided with further structure for interconnection with other facets on another compatible block (30,60,80,140,160). Some peripheries (1) are provided with projections (40), others with channels (20). The projections (40) can be received not only in the channels (20), but also within recesses (6) on the bottom walls (12). The channels (20) not only can receive projections (40), but also can receive the vanes (16) on the top wall (2) of the block. A second major block is configured as a humanoid figurine (210). A third form of building block (310) is formed as a wafer-shaped rectangle having posts (340) on a top surface (311) and parallel-walled channels (350) on a bottom surface (312). A fourth major building block is a round wafer-shaped block (330) with beveled gear teeth (334) about a side wall (333) of the block.
