A toy building set comprising a plurality of building elements which each are provided with hinge parts, first and second types of hinge parts being shaped complementarily in such a manner that the hinge parts on two building elements may be interconnected releasably so that they form a hinge link between the building elements. The first type of hinge parts is provided with a toothing arranged at a specific distance from the common hinge axis, and the second type of hinge parts comprises a first group which is provided with a toothing arranged at the specific distance from the common hinge axis and a second group of hinge parts which is not provided with such a toothing, said toothings on the first type of hinge parts and on the first group of the second type of hinge parts being directed oppositely to each other in such a manner that they engage each other when the hinge parts are interconnected.

Toy building set

A toy building set comprising a plurality of building elements which each are provided with hinge parts, a first type of hinge parts comprising a substantially cylindrical rod-shaped shaft part of a building element, a second type of hinge parts comprising a claw device consisting of two elastic fingers extending outwards from a building element at a distance from each other, so that the two elastic fingers between them form a track which is narrowed at the distal end of the fingers with respect to the building element, so that the rod-shaped shaft part may be pressed into the track through the narrowed part of the track, said hinge parts additionally comprising a third type of hinge parts being provided with a shaft stud which has an external diameter corresponding to the thickness of the rod-shaped shaft part.

A toy building set comprising walls (,) having at least one door opening (,) which extends from the lower edge (,) of the walls (,) and upwards in the position of use of the walls (,) at a height and with a width corresponding to a door, said toy building set additionally comprising at least one door element (,) and one window element (,), said toy building set comprising a door frame (,) which has a height and a width corresponding to the door opening (,), said door frame (,) having coupling means for releasable, fixed mounting of the door frame in the door opening by means of complementary coupling means (,) located at the wall opening (,), said door element (,) having hinge parts (,) for releasable mounting in complementary hinge parts in the door opening (,) or the door frame (,), said toy building set additionally comprising at least one window frame (,) which has a width and a height corresponding to the width and the height of the door frame (,), said window frame (,) having coupling means (,) for releasable, fixed mounting in the door opening (,). This provides a high degree of flexibility with respect to the positioning of windows and doors in a toy building, thereby making it easy to build and vary between many different buildings in a rapid manner and with few subcomponents.

A toy building, such as a doll's house with associated fittings (,), said toy building comprising a bracing structure (,) and a number of substantially planar wall elements (,), and wherein the bracing structure (,) and the wall elements (,) are provided with coupling means (,) for releasably receiving the wall elements (,) in the bracing structure (,) of the toy building, and wherein the wall elements (,) and the fittings (,) are provided with complementary coupling means (,) intended for mounting of the fittings (,) on the wall elements (,).

Toy building with associated fittings

A building set for a toy building comprising a number of building module frames (1,1a,1b,2) and a plurality of fittings (10,17,18), and wherein each of the building module frames (1,1a,1b,2) comprises a bottom plate (3,4,19) with a superstructure that defines the walls and ceiling of the building module frame (1,1a,1b,2), and wherein each bottom plate (3,4,19) is provided with coupling means (12) for interconnecting adjoining building module frames (1,1a,1b,2). By arranging the coupling means (12) on the top surface of the bottom plate (3,4,19) and by arranging the coupling means (12) to be releasably interconnected with complementary coupling means (11) on the underside of the fittings (10,17,18), a stable and secure coupling is obtained that possesses much holding force without much force being required to interconnect the building module frames.

Building set for a toy building

A toy building system for the construction of e.g. in-door settings and furniture element groupings, comprising a number of substantially box-shaped fittings (1,2,3) with a top surface, a bottom surface and a number of lateral walls, comprising a front with furniture-like functional parts, such as doors, shelves, etc., and a back (4) with coupling means (5,6) and wherein each fitting (1,2,3) has at least two functionally identical coupling means (5,6), said coupling means (5,6) comprising coupling means (5) that protrude a distance from the back (4) of the fitting (1,2,3), and wherein the coupling means (5,6) are arranged at a mutual modular distance and provided in such a manner that the fittings (1,2,3) may be interconnected back (4) to back (4) in at least two different positions relative to each other.

Toy building system

A building set for a toy building comprising a number of building modules (1) which each defines a space, said building modules (1) being so designed that they may be stacked or arranged next to each other as desired for the construction of single- or multi-storey toy buildings, and having means (6,7) for releasably engaging with one or more wall elements (5) in the sides of the building modules (1) irrespectively of the mutual positioning of the building modules (1). Since the columns (3) support girders (4) which define the periphery of the top plane of the building modules, said girders (4) being so arranged that unimpeded access to the building module interior (1) is provided, it is now possible to construct toy buildings with more different plan arrangements compared to the prior art without impeding the access to the building module interiors.
