发明名称 Construction toy element and set
摘要 In a first aspect, a construction toy element is provided and includes a body and a first circumferential row of arms extending from the body. The body has an axis, and has a first axial end and a second axial end. A first circumferential row of arms extends from the body. Each arm includes a root end and a free end, and has a first connecting member thereon that is configured for connecting the construction toy element to another construction toy element. The root end projects from the body in a direction that is angled towards one of the first and second axial ends relative to a normal direction to a surface of the body.

主权项 1. A construction toy element, comprising: a body having a length and a width, and a surface profile over the length that differs from a surface profile over the width, and having a longitudinal axis, and a first axial end and a second axial end; and a plurality of arms extending from the body, wherein each arm of said plurality of arms includes a root end and a free end, and has a first connecting member thereon that is configured for connecting the construction toy element to another construction toy element, wherein the body has a boundary line, wherein the root end of all arms of said plurality of arms on a first side of the boundary line projects from the body in a direction that is angled towards the first axial end relative to a normal direction to a surface of the body immediately about the root end, and the root end of all arms of said plurality of arms on a second side of the boundary line projects from a surface of the body in a direction that is angled towards the second axial end relative to a normal direction to the surface of the body immediately about the root end, wherein each arm free end of said plurality of arms bends away from a corresponding each arm root end in a direction toward the boundary line, and wherein the body has a substantially flat region at at least one of the first and second axial ends and is devoid of any of the plurality of arms in the substantially flat region, wherein at least a portion of a side of each arm of said plurality of arms that faces toward its corresponding axial end has a substantially rounded shape, and wherein at least a portion of a side of each arm of said plurality of arms that faces away from its corresponding axial end has a substantially flat shape, the rounded shape being opposite the flat shape along a cross-section of said each arm.
