MAGNETIC CONSTRUCTION KIT ADAPTED FOR USE WITH CONSTRUCTION BLOCKS

摘要

A magnetic construction kit is provided for connecting base blocks with a variety of connecting rods. The construction kit includes a base block and a connecting rod having at least one magnetic connector suitable for cooperating with another magnet and/or for holding a spherical object. A stud connector can be included for attachment of the connecting rod to a stud of the base block. The stud connector may mechanically connect onto a stud extending from an exposed surface of the base block. Alternatively, the stud and stud connector may also have a magnetic attachment by providing a magnet in the stud connector and providing a stud made of, or coated with, a ferromagnetic material. The construction kit may also include different connecting rod structures that are suitable for achieving mechanical and/or magnetic connections to different sized base blocks.
