Abstract
The present invention relates to a cubic element for construction toys, including three, straight, open-ended channels each formed on an adjacent different face of the cube between two opposite faces of the cube and extending in orthogonal opposite directions to each other (X,Y,Z). Each channel includes a bottom wall and two upwardly extending parallel sidewalls, wherein the width of Fa the bottom wall and the distance between the face which is distal to the channel that is extending orthogonally from the same cube face, and the sidewall adjacent the distal face, are substantially equal.

A cubic element for construction toys, characterized by three, straight, open-ended channels each formed on an adjacent different face of the cube between two opposite faces of the cube and extending in orthogonal opposite directions to each other (X,Y,Z), each channel having a bottom wall and two upwardly extending parallel sidewalls, the width of the bottom wall and the distance between the cube face distal to the channel that is extending orthogonally from the same cube face, and the sidewall adjacent said distal cube face, are substantially equal.
A cubic element for construction toys, comprising:
- three, straight, open-ended channels each formed on an adjacent different face of the cube and extending in orthogonal opposite directions to each other (X,Y,Z);
- wherein each of said first, second and third channels, formed on said first, second and third faces, respectively, is having a bottom wall, a first sidewall and second parallel sidewall distant from the first sidewall, and is extending between a first pair of opposing faces of said first, second and third faces, respectively, and is disposed in parallel to a second pair of opposing faces of said first, second and third faces, respectively.
A method for forming a cubic element for construction toys, the method comprising:
- providing a first element section having a first flat wing integrally formed with said section, a second profiled wing integrally formed with said section, a first and second pins juxtaposed and disposed at the internal side of said section, and a third pin disposed diagonally opposite said first and second pins on the internal side of said second wing;
- sizing and configuring the distance between said first and second pins on each of said sections so as to receive in a snap-fit manner said third pin of another of said section;
- providing a second said element section;
- assembling an assembly of said first said section to said second said section;
- providing a third said element section;
- assembling said third section to said assembly.
