ABSTRACT:
A toy building block set suitable for assembling articles of play includes ring like block elements with a circular inner periphery and a polygonal outer periphery with straight side faces. A sixteen-sided polygonal block is provided with square dovetail connector and socket elements arranged on the side faces for connecting the block elements together. Other side faces of the block elements are provided with vertical dovetail chutes for co-operation with elongate stacking members having elongate dovetail projections. The block elements are thus able to be arranged in stacks on the stacking members for storage and transportation. Lashing points are provided on the stacking member ends for accepting a lashing means to secure the stack positively, and several stacks of block elements can be lashed together for packaging large sets of blocks. Different embodiments are presented. In one embodiment the block elements are provided with snap-fit socket elements.
