Abstract
An apparatus for playing a game comprises a three dimensional structure assembled from a plurality of interconnectable and disengageable construction elements. Each construction element is a shaped elongate body piece with two end mating faces or surfaces. Each mating surface has a male or female connector or two female orifices plus a four way male connector to enable each construction element to connect to and disengage other like construction elements. The interconnection between two contacting faces or surfaces is allowable in one orientation only.

An apparatus for playing a game, the apparatus comprising a three dimensional structure assembled from a plurality of interconnectable and disengageable construction elements, characterised in that each construction element is a shaped elongate body piece with two end mating faces or surfaces, each mating face having a connector to enable each construction element to connect to and disengage other like construction elements, and wherein the interconnection between two mating faces or surfaces is allowable in one orientation only and wherein the two connectors of each piece are transposed 180 degrees relative to each other, wherein the apparatus further comprises a minimum of two to four core elongate body pieces that create Celtic knotwork or weaving patterns in a three dimensional general plane, the four being;
- a straight (0 degrees) piece (A), a quadrant (90 degrees) piece (B), a U-bend (180 degrees) piece (C) and a loop (270 degrees) piece (D) as viewed from above, the front or side;
- where each piece has a side profile resembling a “stretched out half a sine wave/curve” which is stretched around each top profile in the three dimensional structure, the distance the side profile of a drop being equivalent to the diameter of the piece.
An apparatus for playing a game, the apparatus comprising a three dimensional structure assembled from a plurality of interconnectable and disengageable construction elements, characterised in that each construction element is a shaped elongate body piece with two end mating faces or surfaces, each mating face having a connector to enable each construction element to connect to and disengage other like construction elements, and wherein the interconnection between two mating faces or surfaces is allowable in one orientation only and wherein the two connectors of each piece are transposed 180 degrees relative to each other, wherein each piece has one male connector at one end and a complementary shaped receiving orifice at the other end, the male connector being fitted in one orientation into a complementary shaped receiving orifice with the complementary orifice being transposed 180 degrees relative to the orientation of the male connector.
