Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0103791A1] A toy building block has a first pair of transversely extending face panels having substantially identical studs and a second pair of respectively transversely extending face panels having substantially identical sockets. The sockets are shaped and dimensioned to be push fit engageable with studs on adjacently connecting corresponding blocks, the arrangement of studs and sockets permitting connection with opposite gender face panels in various connection configurations, including a face panel aligned configuration and a face panel overlap configuration. The block is formed of a moulded shell piece including wall panels moulded to be configured rigidly extending transversely to one another in fixed relationship with a defined angle therebetween, and a closure piece connected to the shell piece to close a hollow interior of the block.
