Toy block

Abstract

A toy block. The toy block comprises a body having a top, a bottom and a sidewall connecting the top and the bottom. The sidewall has an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the inner surface defines an interior cavity having a curved portion wherein the curved portion rotatably connects with at least another toy block.

1 . A toy block of a plurality of toy blocks, the toy block comprising:
 a body having a top, a bottom and a sidewall connecting the top and the bottom, the sidewall having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface defining an interior cavity having a curved portion wherein the curved portion rotatably connects with at least another of the plurality of toy blocks.   
   
   
       2 . The toy block of  claim 1  further comprising a raised connector having a curved wall. 
   
   
       3 . The toy block of  claim 2  wherein the curved wall is circular shaped. 
   
   
       4 . The toy block of  claim 2  wherein the raised connector comprises a pair of raised connectors spaced apart on the top. 
   
   
       5 . The toy block of  claim 4  wherein the pair of raised connectors form a channel therebetween. 
   
   
       6 . The toy block of  claim 1  further comprising a rib positioned on the inner surface. 
   
   
       7 . The toy block of  claim 1  further comprising a support connected to the inner surface and extending across the cavity. 
   
   
       8 . The toy block of  claim 1  wherein the sidewall is circular shaped. 
   
   
       9 . The toy block of  claim 1  wherein the top has a planar surface. 
   
   
       10 . The toy block of  claim 1  wherein the top has a sloped surface. 
   
   
       11 . A toy block of a plurality of toy blocks, the toy block comprising:
 a body having a top, a bottom and a sidewall connecting the top and the bottom, the sidewall having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface defining an interior cavity having a curved portion; and   a raised connector connected to and extending from the top wherein the curved portion rotatably connects with another raised connector of at least another of the plurality of toy blocks.   
   
   
       12 . The toy block of  claim 11  wherein the raised connector comprises a pair of raised connectors spaced apart on the top. 
   
   
       13 . The toy block of  claim 12  wherein the pair of raised connectors form a channel therebetween. 
   
   
       14 . The toy block of  claim 1  further comprising a rib positioned on the inner surface. 
   
   
       15 . The toy block of  claim 14  wherein the rib extends from the top and toward the bottom. 
   
   
       16 . A method of building toy blocks with each toy block having a top, a bottom and a sidewall connecting the top and the bottom, the sidewall defining an interior cavity having a curved portion, the method comprising:
 setting one of the toy blocks in a position;   rotatably connecting another of the toy blocks in the positionally set toy block; and   rotating the other toy block on the positionally set toy block to an orientation with respect to the positionally set toy block.   
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16  wherein rotatably connecting the other toy block comprises setting the other toy block around and in contact with a raised connector of the positionally set block.
