Abstract
A stacking block system having stacking blocks which have a body part which is provided with coupling knobs with a mutual uniform modular distance on its upper surface and is downwardly provided with coupling means which are complementary with respect to the coupling knobs on the upper side and are adapted to be coupled with the coupling knobs. According to the invention, the blocks are additionally provided with one or more spacers downwardly, which are designed such that when two stacking blocks are stacked on top of each other, the body parts of the stacking blocks will be spaced from each other along their entire periphery. This provides a gripping edge or a gap between two blocks stacked so that it is particularly easy to grip the blocks when a stack of such blocks is to be separated.
Claims8
A stacking block system comprising stacking blocks (1,5,9) each having a body part (4) which, on its upper side (3), is provided with a number of coupling knobs (2,6) having a mutual uniform modular separation distance, and is downwardly provided with complementary coupling means (7) adapted to be coupled with coupling knobs of another of said blocks, characterized in that the blocks have one or more spacers extending below the body part of the blocks, the spacers being designed such that when two stacking blocks are stacked on top of each other the body parts (4) of the stacking blocks will be spaced from one another along their entire periphery, and characterized in that the height of the coupling knobs (2) above the body parts (4) is greater than the distance between the body parts (4) of the stacking blocks when the stacking blocks (1, 9) are stacked.
