Abstract

A house-building toy comprises element blocks that include floor foundation blocks ( 2 ) functioning as the foundation of a house model and structuring a floor portion of the house model, wall blocks ( 3 ) structuring a wall portion of the house model, roof blocks ( 4 ) structuring a roof portion of the house model, and floor panel blocks ( 5 ) structuring on the floor foundation blocks ( 2 ) the ground and a floor surface in the house. Hole portions communicating with the element blocks are formed at joints between the floor foundation blocks ( 2 ) and the wall blocks ( 3 ) and at joints between the floor foundation blocks ( 2 ) and the roof blocks ( 4 ). Wires (W) for supplying electricity, for example, for lighting are laid from the outside to the inside of the house model.

Claims (12)

1. A toy house assembly for building a toy house model by assembling a plurality of blocks different in shape, comprising:

a floor foundation block serving as a foundation of the toy house model to constitute a floor portion of the toy house model, including a first projection formed on a major surface of the floor foundation block to be combined with another block of a type different from the floor foundation block, and including a second projection and a second recess formed on a side surface that is oriented perpendicular to the major surfaces, to be combined with another block of the same type as the floor foundation block;

a wall block constituting a wall portion of the toy house model and including a first recess fitting to the first projection of the floor foundation block; and

a roof block constituting a roof portion of the toy house model, the roof block being made of a plurality of structural block groups combined vertically and horizontally;

wherein a hole for connecting the blocks combined by connection between at least one respective projection and the corresponding recess is formed at each jointing portion between the respective blocks, and

wherein a wiring is provided through the hole from an exterior of the toy house model to an interior of the toy house model.

2. The toy house assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the roof block includes a structural block made in a substantially rectangular shape having a pair of side surfaces inclined in the same direction with the same angle to each other, and wherein the structural block forms a plane upon jointing another structural block where the side surfaces formed in parallel are jointed and forms a bending portion upon jointing another structural block where the side surfaces formed not in parallel are jointed.

3. The toy house assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein the wall block is made of a wall foundation formed in a rectangular shape having a rectangular opening at a center thereof, and a pair of wall panels so attached as to sandwich and to cover up the rectangular opening.

4. The toy house assembly according to claim 1 , and further comprising

a floor panel mounted on the major surface of the floor foundation block, the floor panel having a major surface formed with a floor decorative pattern and the opposite major surface formed with a jointing portion for jointing the floor foundation block.
