Abstract
The invention relates to a three-dimensional tile, of metal or plastic, having at least one face (1) with an octagonal socket (2) and another face (1) with an octagonal projection (3). Each tile is joined in this way with a similar tile, forming structures in space. The octagonal socket (2) has an inner embossed cord (7) miming along it to which a tooth (6) carried on the straight sections (4), which together with the corner sections (5) form the octagonal projection (3), attaches. The 3D tile can be used to create structures of both aesthetic and utility nature.
Claims2
A tile cube, comprising:
- six faces, wherein at least one face of the six faces has an octagonal socket and at least one other face of the six faces has an octagonal protrusion
- each said octagonal protrusion formed by four straight members and four corner members, alternating between a straight member of the four straight members and a corner member of the four corner members, with oppositely oriented straight members of the four straight members being parallel to each other and to edges of the tile cube, each said straight member of the four straight members being flexible and separate from adjacent corner members of the four corner members,
- wherein each said straight member of the four straight members has an outwardly-oriented tooth, and
- wherein each said octagonal socket has an embossed inner protrusion extending inwardly along an interior of said octagonal socket and to which the tooth on each corresponding straight section of the four straight sections of another tile cube is attachable.
