Abstract
A unit toy system comprises at least partially differing landscape units, which have a base area and at least one bearing area for the base area of the in each case other landscape unit. The bearing areas have a vertical distance from the respective base area that corresponds to an integral multiple of a vertical modular dimension. A locking aperture is formed on each bearing area. In the vicinity of the base area, locking elements are formed, which are provided with snap-in locking elements which can detachably engage with the locking aperture.
Claims6
A unit toy system having a plurality of at least partially differing landscape units (1, 2, 3) comprising the following features:
- each unit of the landscape units (1, 2, 3) has a base plane (4, 5, 6),
- each unit of the landscape units (1, 2, 3) has a least one bearing area (9 to 14) for the base plane (4, 5, 6) of another landscape unit of said landscape units (2, 3, 1), some of the landscape units (1, 2) having at least two of said bearing area (9 to 13),
- each said bearing area (9 to 14) has a vertical distance na from each respective base plane (4, 5, 6), which corresponds to an integral multiple n of a vertical modular dimension a, n=1, 2, 3, . . . applying,
- a member (15) of an interlocking arrangement is formed on each said bearing area (9 to 14), and
- at least one locking element (21) complementary to the member located on the respective bearing area (9 to 14) is provided in the vicinity of each said base plane (4, 5, 6),
- wherein a locking aperture (15) is formed in each bearing area (9 to 14),
- wherein each of said locking element (21) has a snap-in locking element (33) complementary to the locking aperture (15), and
- wherein each of said locking element (21) is pivotable from a first position in which said locking element does not project beyond the base plane (4, 5, 6) into a second position in which the snap-in locking element (33) projects through the base plane (4, 5, 6).
