Abstract
A toy building brick system includes a brick which has an outer surface including a plurality of outer walls. A male peg is attached to one of the outer walls. The male peg is configured to engage a female connector and includes a post having a terminal end. The terminal end has an outer peripheral edge. The outer peripheral edge has a notch positioned therein. The notch faces an adjacent edge of the outer wall attached to the male peg to prevent adjacent male pegs of adjacent bricks from abutting in such a manner that the male pegs bias the adjacent bricks apart from each other.

A toy building brick comprising:
- a brick having an outer surface, said outer surface including a plurality of outer walls;
- a male peg being attached to one of said outer walls, said male peg being configured to engage a female connector, said male peg including;
- a post having a terminal end, said terminal end having an outer peripheral edge;
- said outer peripheral edge having a notch positioned therein;
- and
- said notch extending into said post from said terminal end and facing an adjacent edge of the outer wall attached to said male peg such that said notch defines a first exposed planar face extending uninterrupted fully across said post parallel to said adjacent edge of said outer wall attached to said male peg and a second exposed planar face extending uninterrupted fully across said post perpendicular to said first planar face, each of said first exposed planar face and said second exposed planar face having a respective free edge opposite a junction of said first exposed planar face and said second exposed planar face.

A toy building brick comprising:
- a brick having an outer surface, said outer surface including a plurality of outer walls;
- a plurality of male pegs being attached to at least one of said outer walls, said male pegs being configured to engage a female connector, each of said male pegs including;
- a post having a terminal end, said terminal end having an outer peripheral edge;
- said outer peripheral edge having a notch positioned therein, said notch extending into said post from said terminal end and facing an adjacent edge of the outer wall attached to said male peg such that said notch defines a first exposed planar face extending uninterrupted fully across said post parallel to said adjacent edge of said outer wall attached to said male peg and a second exposed planar face extending uninterrupted fully across said post perpendicular to said first planar face, each of said first exposed planar face and said second exposed planar face having a respective free edge opposite a junction of said first exposed planar face and said second exposed planar face.

A toy building brick comprising:
- a brick having an outer surface, said outer surface including a plurality of outer walls;
- a plurality of male pegs being attached to at least one of said outer walls, said male pegs being configured to engage a female connector, each of said male pegs including;
- a post having a terminal end, said terminal end having an outer peripheral edge;
- and
- said outer peripheral edge having a pair of notches positioned therein, each said notch extending into said post from said terminal end and each said notch facing a respective adjacent edge of the outer wall attached to said male peg such that each said notch defines a respective first exposed planar face extending uninterrupted fully across said post parallel to said respective adjacent edge of said outer wall attached to said male peg and a respective second exposed planar face extending uninterrupted fully across said post perpendicular to said respective first planar face, each of said first exposed planar face and said second exposed planar face of each said notch having a respective free edge opposite a junction of said first exposed planar face and said second exposed planar face of each said notch.
