ABSTRACT:
A set of geometric construction pieces, units, or blocks is provided including one large central piece and four pair of decreasingly smaller pieces which can be formed together to form a nested hollow cube for storage purposes. The pieces are manually separable and may be reconfigured or rebuilt to form a plurality of different and distinct geometrical sculptural designs, patterns and structures from the pieces thereof. The set includes a large single central piece formed from six identical, elongated, rectangular legs configured as a single or integral piece forming a partial external skeleton of the nested storage cube such that each face of the cube includes only one pair of adjacent sides with the diametrically opposite face including only the opposite pair of adjacent sides so as to provide an opening into the hollow interior of the piece. A second and a third pair of structurally similar pieces, each dimensioned smaller than the other, and smaller than the single piece are identical in configuration but smaller in size so they can be nestably received within the hollow interior of the first piece. The fourth set of pieces each includes a cube having one pair of diametrically opposite corners missing and being dimensioned so as to nestably received within the third pair of units. The fifth and last pair of pieces include cubes adapted to be nestably received within the missing corners of each of said fourth pair of pieces. In this manner, each piece nests within the next larger piece until all form a hollow cube having the dimensions of the large single piece with the pieces being readily removable for constructing new different and distinct geometrical sculptural designs, patterns, models, structures, puzzles, constructions, and the like therefrom.
