<p>A brick (10) for a brick-based construction toy, wherein the brick is of rectangular form comprised of end walls (15, 16), side walls (13, 14), and a top wall (11 ) defining an open bottom configuration (17). The top wall (11 ) has a plurality of predictably spaced studs (12) projecting upwardly therefrom which can be frictionally gripped in the open bottom (17) of a brick positioned above. The side and end walls (13-16) are with joined with said top wall (11 ) to form arcuate upper edge contours (21, 22, 25) of the brick, and are also formed with arcuate bottom edge contours (23, 24, 26) such that, in an assembly of two bricks (10), one above the other, access grooves are formed by adjoining upper edge contours (21, 22, 25) and bottom edge contours (23, 24, 26) of the respective bricks (10) to facilitate subsequent disassembly thereof. A separating tool (29) is also provided, for insertion in the access grooves, to assist in initiating separation of the bricks, where necessary.</p> |
