Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a construction kit, and more specifically, to a construction kit which employs disc-shaped connectors and panel members having a range of shapes for building semi-realistic toy models .
  • Construction kits and connectors are well known. Such items have employed connectors and additional members having a wide range of shapes and sizes including blocks, pyramids, rods, gears, flat panels, discs and the like. Construction kits have been used to build a respective wide range of very crude to semi-realistic models of structures such as airplanes, trains, cars, rockets, buildings, animals and more .
  • Known construction kits for constructing semi-realistic models generally require either one or both a large number of like-shaped connectors or a wide range of uniquely-shaped connectors generally being connectable in only one or a limited number of ways. Such construction kits quickly lose a user's interest due to either the extreme effort required or the limited number of structures that can be made.
  • Known connectors employ a variety of interconnecting and interlocking means such as holes, bosses, notches, grooves, threads, and joints.
  • Those connectors have also been made from a large variety of materials such as wood, plastic, foam and metal.
  • TAZOTM connector sold by Lulirama International, Inc. Such connectors are disc-shaped as shown in Figures la and If. Each TAZOTM has six to eight notches on the outer periphery of the disc. The width of the notches approximates the thickness of a TAZOTM connector. TAZOTM connectors are formed into chains and other structures by detachably and perpendicularly interconnecting their notches so that adjacent TAZOTM connectors are perpendicular to each other as shown in Figure 2.
  • TAZOTM connectors By interconnecting a varying number of TAZOTM connectors, some very simple geometric structures, such as a circle, sphere, rod, square, cube triangle, rectangle, block, pyramid and the like, can be formed. However, in order to form semi- realistic models of complicated structures such as airplanes, buildings, animals, automobiles, ships and spaceships, a large number of TAZOTM connectors is required, thus resulting in very large models.
  • the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of known construction kits and thus is generally directed to a versatile construction kit which can be used to easily form a wide variety of semi-realistic models while requiring only a minimal number of connectors and panel members.
  • the construction kit is versatile and can be expanded by the addition of further connectors and panel members to permit construction of an even greater variety of semi-realistic models of buildings, people, animals, toys, weapons, machinery, caricatures, fanciful figures, spaceships, and air, land or water borne vehicles, and the like.
  • the invention provides a construction kit having a variety of similarly or uniquely-shaped parts for building semi-realistic models.
  • the present invention is a construction kit, for building semi-realistic models, comprising: a plurality of substantially planar perpendicularly and detachably interconnectable disc-shaped connectors having a plurality of radially spaced interconnectable notches on an outer periphery, the width of the notches approximating the thickness of said disc-shaped connectors; and a plurality of panel members, each having a notch or aperture, capable of being perpendicularly and detachably interconnected with said disc-shaped connectors; said connectors and panel members together forming semi- realistic models when interconnected.
  • the number of notches on and their placement along the periphery of the disc-shaped connectors can vary to permit building a greater number of semi-realistic models.
  • the width of the notches generally approximates the thickness, or a multiple thereof, of a discshaped connector.
  • the panel members can have a plurality of notches and apertures to facilitate interconnection with the connectors .
  • the present invention provides an improved construction kit having a group of panel members which can be used with disc-shaped connectors to form a variety of semi-realistic models.
  • the present invention also provides an improved construction kit of the type having perpendicularly and detachably interconnectable disc-shaped connectors, each having a plurality of notches on its outer periphery, the width of the notches approximating the thickness of said disc-shaped connectors, wherein the improvement comprises: a plurality of panel members each having one or both of an edge defining a notch or an edge defining an aperture for perpendicular and detachable interconnection with said disc-shaped connectors, a portion of the notch or aperture having a width that approximates the thickness of said disc-shaped connectors, and each aperture being sufficiently wide and long to permit interconnection with at least a portion of said disc-shaped connectors; said disc-shaped connectors and panel members, when interconnected, being capable of forming semi-realistic models .
  • the panel members and connectors can be provided individually or in groups as pre- shaped pieces or as comprising punch-out cards.
  • the panel members can be of any suitable shape and can be interconnectable with each other.
  • the notch and/or aperture of the panel member should be sufficiently long to permit interconnection with the disc-shaped connectors and their length can be varied as desired to adjust the depth of interconnection between desired elements.
  • the panel members are generally, although not necessarily, substantially planar and shaped as required.

  • the panel members will interconnect substantially perpendicularly and detachably with the disc-shaped connectors.
