ABSTRACT:
A geometric toy construction system has a multiplicity of flat, polyagonal construction pieces interengageable edge-to-edge to form two- and three- dimensional constructions. The edgewise connectors enable the pieces to be snap-fit together and to rotate about the axis of interconnection. The connector sets are formed to allow four or more individual pieces to be snap-fit about a common axis. Attachment sites are also formed along the construction pieces, preferably at the corners thereof, to accomodate flexable connecting pipes in a friction-fit for corner-to-corner or apex-to-apex connection. Similarly, a soft, pliable ball member may be substituted for the pipe into which the connecting sites may be pressed. Elastic bands may also be secured between attachment sites to hold the construction together. The construction pieces may be color coded to indicate the edge size, size of the connector sets or selected types of pieces.
