Manipulatable construction toy set for toddlers, young children and others

摘要

A construction toy set includes a number of pieces of different shapes and colors which are configured to allow a user to construct a desired object or model by connecting selected pieces to one another. One of the pieces is a first joint piece constructed to connect two other pieces of the set for relative rotational movement about an axis of the piece. The joint piece has a body formed of two parts that are joined to one another for relative rotation about the joint piece axis, and each part is configured to connect to another piece of the set. The set also includes a second joint piece constructed to connect two other pieces of the set for relative rotational movement about two orthogonal axes of the piece. The bodies of the joint pieces emit a pleasant click sound when the parts of the bodies are turned by the user.
