ABSTRACT:
A construction toy system is provided, in which a coherent structure can be assembled from a series of rod-like struts and hub-like connectors, wherein the struts have specially contoured ends engageable by lateral, snap-in assembly with pairs of contoured gripping arms on the connector elements. Upon snap-in assembly, the struts are effectively rigidly joined with the connectors. A motor mount is provided, to which is fixed an electric drive motor. The motor mount includes spaced-apart elements, preferably struts received in guide tubes rigidly joined to the platform-like element, by which the motor mount may be secured by snap-in engagement to connector elements, to become part of the coherent structure. Spur gears and pinions can be rotatably supported in the structure using struts and connector elements providing a gear train for converting the output of the motor to driving an element of the construction toy system.
