Abstract
A toy construction set comprising operatively interconnectable blocks and connectors. Each of the blocks has one or more apertures formed in relief Each of the connectors has a base in the form of a plate or rod and a plurality of pins attached to the base in a spaced apart arrangement for interconnecting blocks. The pins are integral with the base plate. The interconnection between a block and a connector is achieved by the pins being positively engaging and releasably retained within one or more of the apertures of the blocks. The pins are oppositely disposed of a base plate so that a block can be connected to a connector on one side of the base plate, and another block can be connected to the same connector on the other side of the plate.

A toy construction set comprising:
- operatively interconnectable blocks and first connectors;
- each of the blocks having a plurality of sides, each side being defined by edges of the block and providing a smooth sliding surface of the block, and a plurality of apertures formed in relief in each of the sides, wherein the apertures in any side are spaced from the respective edges of the block;
- and
- each of the first connectors having a flexible base in the form of a thin plate and a plurality of pins having a cross-section that is circular and projecting integrally from one side of the base in a spaced apart arrangement for interconnecting blocks by positively engaging and being releasably retained within respective apertures of the blocks;
- whereby any two of the blocks can be interconnected at any of their sides by one or more of the first connectors.
