Abstract
A toy building element comprising at least one first type of building element (), on which a rotation shaft () located along an axis of rotation is arranged, and wherein the toy building set comprises at least one second type () of building element in which a rotation bushing () is provided which is configured for receiving and being interconnected with the rotation shaft on the first building element in such a manner that the two building elements can rotate relative to each other about the axis of rotation. At least two separate ribs are configured on the rotation shaft on the first type of building element, and the second type of building element comprises a ratchet mechanism () configured such that, when the two types of building elements are interconnected by means of the snap connection, the ratchet mechanism cooperates with the ribs () on the rotation shaft to the effect that a ratchet sound is generated when the two types of building elements are rotated relative to each other about the axis of rotation.
