Mosaic Structure Assembly Kit

A kit comprising:

• a) a plurality of magnetized blocks having a plurality of colors and having a thickness dimension;
• b) a first interlocking piece and a second interlocking piece, both of which are made from a material that is attracted to magnets, with said first interlocking piece having a plurality of planar faces onto which a plurality of said blocks may be affixed and said second interlocking piece having at least one connecting face free of said blocks and a plurality of nonconnecting faces onto which a plurality of said blocks may be affixed by magnetic attraction;
• c) said first interlocking piece having at first planar face onto which a protuberance is mounted in the center of said first planar face, with said protuberance having a second face opposite said first planar face, said second face having a first corresponding member of a means for connecting the protuberance to the second interlocking piece, with said protuberance having a height dimension equal to said thickness dimension of said blocks and configured to separate said blocks from said means for connecting when said blocks are affixed onto said first interlocking piece, and said second face configured such that a portion of said second face will engage the connecting face;
• and
• d) said connecting face of the second interlocking piece having a second corresponding member of the means for connecting the protuberance to the second interlocking piece;
• and
• e) further in which said first and second interlocking pieces comprise planar surfaces at right degree angles.

A kit comprising:

• a) a plurality of blocks made of a material attracted to magnets and having a plurality of colors and further having a thickness dimension;
• b) a first interlocking piece having a first face onto which a protuberance is mounted in the center of said first face, said protuberance having a height dimension equal to said thickness dimension of said blocks;
• c) a second interlocking piece having a connecting face free of said blocks and a plurality of nonconnecting faces onto which said blocks may be affixed;
• d) in which said first and second interlocking pieces are magnetized;
• e) further in which said first and second interlocking pieces comprise planar surfaces at right degree angles;
• e) whereby the blocks are affixed to said first and second interlocking pieces via magnetic attraction in a desired pattern;
• f) and further whereby the protuberance may be connected to the connecting face of the second interlocking piece via magnetic attraction.

The method of assembling a structural assembly having at least a first interlocking piece having a plurality of planar faces including a first face onto which a protuberance is mounted in the center of said first face with said protuberance having a first corresponding member of a means of connection and further having at least a second interlocking piece having a plurality of nonconnecting faces and a connecting face have a second corresponding member of a means for connection, said method comprising the steps of:

• a) placing a plurality of blocks having at least one face coated with a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive, a thickness dimension, and a plurality of colors, such that the blocks may be held by an assembly tool having a cavity with dimensions such that the cavity is capable of partially enveloping and holding said blocks;
• b) using the assembly tool to pick up one of said blocks and to place said block on a predetermined location on the first interlocking piece such that said block is affixed to the first interlocking piece by said pressure sensitive adhesive;
• c) repeating step b until the first face is covered by said blocks except for the portion encompassed by the protuberance, and the remaining planar faces are covered by said blocks, with said blocks affixed on said planar faces in a desired pattern;
• d) using the assembly tool to pick up one of said blocks and to place said block in a predetermined location on a nonconnecting face of the second interlocking piece, such that said block is affixed to the second interlocking piece by said pressure sensitive adhesive;
• e) repeating step d until each nonconnecting face is covered by said blocks in a desired pattern;
• f) engaging the first corresponding member of a means of connection with the second corresponding member of a means for connection, such that the first interlocking piece and the second interlocking piece become secured to each other.
