Claims4
A playtoy assemblable into a generally spherically shaped structure comprising a multiplicity of elements, each element being of a conical shape with a circular base adapted to form part of the outer surface of said structure and an apex adapted to form part of the central core of said structure when said multiplicity of elements are assembled together to form said structure, each of said elements having an annular fastening member proximal to said circular base and a second core member fastening member at the terminus of said conical element defined by the apex thereof such that said multiplicity of conically shaped elements may be fastened to each other with the axes of said conical elements forming radii of said spherically shaped structure, the annular fastening members of adjacent elements engaging each other, the circular bases of said multiplicity of conical elements forming the outer surface of said spherical structure, and with the core member fastening members of adjacent elements confronting each other centrally of said spherical structure.
