Play toy structure

Abstract

A play toy structure is provided wherein a plurality of elements is connected in fixed but modifiable relation to each other by a plurality of connectors. Each connector includes a pair of concentric loops joined by an interconnecting length of resilient and bendable material. The user may construct complex structures including action figures and may modify the structure by simply bending the connectors to achieve the desired result. A wide variety of fanciful structures may be assembled. Each of the structures may be readily disassembled and the elements stored conveniently.

1 . A play toy structure capable of assembly in a variety of configurations, and which may be readily disassembled, comprising in combination, 
 a plurality of planar, cylindrical and/or bendable elements having length, width and thickness, and    a plurality of connectors, each of which is adapted to releasably grasp two or more of said elements and to hold said elements in a fixed but modifiable relationship to form a play toy structure, wherein each of said connectors includes    a first segment of resilient material formed into two adjacent and concentric loops,    a second segment of resilient material formed into two adjacent and concentric loops, and    an interconnecting length of resilient material between said first and second segments.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said elements may be connected in either intersecting planes or in non-intersecting planes.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein at least one of said panels is cylindrical and is connected to another cylindrical panel.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said interconnecting length of resilient material in each connector is bendable, whereby the angular orientation of said panels is adjustable.
