ABSTRACT:
A play panel for use by children in building construction such as playhouses or mazes within which the child can play comprises a surrounding frame structure defined by four frame elements each of which includes one side portion and one corner portion of the total frame structure. A fabric cover for spanning the frame has sleeves defined along four sides each for receiving one side portion of a frame element. The frame elements are connected together by coupling members which are in the form of sleeves surrounding the frame elements as a press fit. Each coupling member has on its outer cylindrical surface a plurality of fins with each fin having a wider rib along the outermost edge. The coupling members of one panel can be connected to the coupling members of the next panel by forcing the fins of one into the spaces of the fins of the other. The ribs are shaped to hold the coupling members together with a release force which is greater than the insertion force to allow a hinging action of one panel around an axis defined by the other panel.
