A toy building set comprising walls (1, 2) having at least one door opening (12, 13) which extends from the lower edge (15, 16) of the walls (1, 2,) and upwards in the position of use of the walls (1, 2) at a height and with a width corresponding to a door, said toy building set additionally comprising at least one door element (10) and one window element (2, 3), said toy building set comprising a door frame (11) which has a height and a width corresponding to the door opening (12, 13), said door frame (11) having coupling means for releasable, fixed mounting of the door frame in the door opening by means of complementary coupling means (17, 25) located at the wall opening (12, 13), said door element (10) having hinge parts (26) for releasable mounting in complementary hinge parts in the door opening (12, 13) or the door frame (11), said toy building set additionally comprising at least one window frame (8, 9) which has a width and a height corresponding to the width and the height of the door frame (11), said window frame (8, 9) having coupling means (20, 21) for releasable, fixed mounting in the door opening (12, 13). This provides a high degree of flexibility with respect to the positioning of windows and doors in a toy building, thereby making it easy to build and vary between many different buildings in a rapid manner and with few subcomponents.
A toy building set comprising wall sections (1, 2) having at least one door opening (12, 13) which extends upwards from a lower edge (15, 16) of the wall sections (1, 2) in a position of use from the wall sections (1, 2), said door opening having a height and a width within said wall sections, said toy building set additionally comprising at least one door element (10) and one window element, wherein the toy building set comprises a door frame (11) having a height and width which correspond to the height and width of the door opening (12, 13), said door frame (11) provided with coupling means for releasable, fixed mounting of the door frame in the door opening that are complementary with coupling means (17, 25) provided at the door opening (12, 13), said door element (10) having hinge parts (26) enabling releasable connection of the door element to complementary hinge parts provided in the door opening (12, 13) or in the door frame (11), said toy building set additionally comprising at least one window frame (9) having a width and a height corresponding to the width and height of the door frame (11), said window frame (9) provided with coupling means (20, 21) that are complementary with coupling means provided at the door opening for releasable, fixed mounting thereof in the door opening (12,13).
