Abstract

A toy building set is disclosed that describes a toy building set for constructing a doll house having a block with a rectangular base, a first end piece and second end piece such that the first end piece and the second end piece are rigid, stationary and permanently affixed to the base. The first building block attaches to a second building block by sliding the first end piece of the first building block into one of a set of three open cylindrical tubes of a second building block. The open cylinders are attached to a building block base at varying angles to create desired play structures.

Claims (11)

1. A toy building set comprising:

a first building block having a rectangular base, a first end piece and a second end piece, wherein the first end piece is a closed cylindrical tube and the second end piece is comprised of a set of three open cylindrical tubes, wherein the first end piece and the second end piece of the first building block are rigid, stationary and permanently affixed to the base, wherein the first building block attaches to a second building block by sliding the first end piece of the first building block into one of a set of three open cylindrical tubes of a second end piece of the second building block, wherein the first end piece and the second end piece of the second building block are rigid, stationary and permanently affixed to the base.

2. The toy building set of claim 1 , wherein the heights of the base, the first end piece and the second end piece are the same.

3. The toy building set of claim 1 , wherein a first diameter is a diameter of the first end piece and a second diameter is a diameter of each of the three open cylindrical tubes.

4. The toy building set of claim 1 , wherein each of the three open cylindrical tubes includes a narrow opening that extends the length of the cylindrical tube such that the opening is so dimensioned having a width that is narrower than the opening but wide enough to allow for a snug fit with the first end piece of the second building block.

5. The toy building set of claim 1 , further comprising a third building block having a rectangular base, a first end piece, a second end piece and a top piece wherein the top piece is a closed cylindrical tube, the first end piece is a closed cylindrical tube and the second end piece is a set of three open cylindrical tubes, wherein each of the first end piece, the second end piece and the top piece of the third building block are rigid, stationary, and permanently affixed to the base.

6. The toy building set of claim 1 , further comprising a fourth building block comprising a set of three open cylindrical tubes, wherein the tubes are rigid, stationary and permanently affixed together.

7. The toy building set of claim 1 , wherein each of the three open cylindrical tubes is permanently and rigidly affixed to the base such that the narrow opening of each of the three open cylindrical tubes is one of ninety degrees, one hundred eighty degrees and two hundred seventy degrees in relation to the base.

8. The toy building set of claim 1 , further comprising a fourth building block having a rectangular base, a first end piece and a second end piece, wherein the rectangular base includes cutouts.

9. The toy building set of claim 1 , further comprising a sixth building block having a rectangular base, a first end piece, a second end piece and a center piece wherein the first end piece is a closed cylindrical tube, the second end piece is comprised of a set of three open cylindrical tubes and the center piece is an open cylindrical tube affixed permanently to the center of base.

10. The toy building set of claim 1 , further comprising a seventh building block having a curved base, a first end piece and a second end piece, wherein the first end piece is a closed cylindrical tube, the second end piece is comprised of a set of three open cylindrical tubes.
