Toy construction kit
A toy construction kit is disclosed. The construction kit comprising a plurality of flexible construction pieces, each of said flexible construction pieces comprising bendable rod made up of a metal wire with a plastic surrounding the metal wire. The plastic wire is flexible, said plastic surrounding said metal wire forming an elongated structure. Disks are spaced along the length of rod.
1. A toy construction kit, said toy construction kit comprising a plurality of flexible construction pieces, each of said flexible construction pieces comprising:
a) a bendable rod, said comprising:
i) a metal wire;
ii) a plastic, said plastic surrounding said metal wire, said plastic being flexible, said plastic surrounding said metal wire forming an elongated structure, said plastic extruded around said metal wire and forming:
I) at least two half disks integral with and positioned perpendicularly to said bendable rod, said each of said half disks comprising:
A) a rim,
B) a base, said base smaller than said rim: and
C) a side surrounding and between the circumference of the rim and a circumference of the base;
said one said half disk being positioned at each end of said rod, said rim of each said half disk facing outward from said rod, said rod and said half disks being integrally molded,
said plurality of flexible construction pieces including said construction pieces of varing lengths, further including a plurality of rods of different lengths, said plurality of rods comprising:
iii) at least one disk, said disk comprised of two said half disks, each said half disk positioned perpendicularly to an axis of said rod, wherein said two half disks are integrally molded together at their rim, said disk positioned between said half disks at each end of the rod, said disks being integrally molded as part of the rod;
a) a plurality of said disks positioned between said half disks at each end of the rod, said disks being the same equidistance from each other and from the half disks, such that the number of disks on said rod are dependent on a length of said rod;
wherein said flexible construction pieces interlock with other said flexible construction pieces.
2. The toy construction kit of claim 1 , a metal of said metal wire is selected from the group consisting of copper, stainless steel, steel, aluminum, and alloys.
3. The toy construction kit of claim 2 , said metal wire consisting of stainless steel.
4. The toy construction kit of claim 1 , where said metal is oxidation resistant.
5. The construction kit of claim 1 , wherein said plastic surrounding said metal wire is durable plastic that accepts any plastic extrusion colorant prior to the extrusion process.
6. The construction kit of claim 5 , wherein said plastic is selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate, high impact polystyrene, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
7. The construction kit of claim 1 , wherein said rods of different lengths are color coded.
8. The construction kit of claim 1 , further comprising tires, said tires comprising a slit or hole in the middle, said tires having the ability to fit over said half disk at each end of said rod.
9. The construction kit of claim 1 , further comprising a platform base.
10. The construction kit of claim 9 , wherein said platform base has a waffled grid surface.
