A construction toy system is provided, in which a coherent structure can be assembled from a series of rod-like struts (25, 28, 30, 51, 26) and hub-like connectors (11, 29, 50), wherein the struts have specially contoured ends (21, 22, 23) engageable by lateral, snap-in assembly with pairs of contoured gripping arms (15, 16) on the connector elements. Upon snap-in assembly, the struts are effectively rigidly joined with the connectors. A motor mount (31) is provided, to which is fixed an electric drive motor (37). The motor mount includes spaced-apart elements, preferably struts received in guide tubes (32) rigidly joined to a platform-like element (33), by which the motor mount may be secured by snap-in engagement to connector elements, to become part of the coherent structure. Spur gears (71) and pinions (70) can be rotatably supported in the structure using struts and connector elements providint a gear train for converting the output of the motor to driving an element of the construction toy system. |
