Abstract

The present invention provides a large variety of pieces having shapes that naturally occur in living things and nature. The objective is to construct art objects sculptures of people, animals, plants and other products of nature rather than representations of man made buildings, amusements or machinery. The assembled art objects have a soft texture due to the predominantly curved parts and almost total absence of straight edges or sharp corners.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A construction set, comprising:
 an essentially flat set of parts;   at least one slot in at least one part of the flat set of parts for connecting a first part a second part;   wherein a flat surface of each of the essentially flat set of parts is in a plane orthogonal to the assembled adjoining part;   A first wing shaped part has only three curved sides connected by three short curved corners comprising:
 A first side having a first length, a first effective radius and a first concave or convex curve; 
 A second side having a second length, a second effective radius and a second concave or convex curve; 
 A third side having a third length, a third effective radius and a third concave or convex curve; 
 Wherein the short curved corners have an effective radius from 5% to 25% of the first effective radius. 
   
     
     
         2 . The construction set of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 A second wing shaped part has only three curved sides connected by three short curved corners wherein;
 One or more of a first, second or third length, a first second or third effective radius a first second or third concave or convex curve or the effective radius of the short curved corners is different in shape or dimension from that of the first wing shaped part. 
   
     
     
         3 . The construction set of  claim 2 , wherein:
 at least one first branched biomorphic part wherein one or more of a first uniquely irregular shaped lobe a second uniquely irregular shaped lobe and a third uniquely irregular shaped lobe mutually connected by only three sinus.   
     
     
         4 . The construction set of  claim 3 , wherein:
 at least one second branched biomorphic part that differs in shape or size from the first branched biomorphic part in the first uniquely irregular shaped lobe, the second uniquely irregular shaped lobe or the third uniquely irregular shaped lobe or the three sinus.   
     
     
         5 . The construction set of  claim 4 , wherein:
 at least one third branched biomorphic part that differs in shape or size from the second branched biomorphic part in the first uniquely irregular shaped lobe, the second uniquely irregular shaped lobe or the third uniquely irregular shaped lobe or the three sinus.   
     
     
         6 . The construction set of  claim 5 , wherein:
 at least one first serial biomorphic part has a fourth irregularly shaped lobe, a fifth irregularly shaped lobe and a sixth irregularly shaped lobe chained together in a serial manner by sinus.   
     
     
         7 . The construction set of  claim 6 , wherein:
 at least one second serial biomorphic part that differs in size or shape from the fourth irregularly shaped lobe, the fifth irregularly shaped lobe, the sixth irregularly shaped lobe or sinus.   
     
     
         8 . The construction set of  claim 7 , wherein:
 each of the parts of the flat set of parts is monochrome in color.   
     
     
         9 . The construction set of  claim 8 , wherein:
 at least one part is a representation of a celestial body.   
     
     
         10 . The construction set of  claim 9 , wherein:
 at least one part is a distorted oval shape for an appearance of a protozoa.   
     
     
         11 . The construction set of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a total of three or more differently shaped wing shaped pieces.   
     
     
         12 . The construction set of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a total of four or more differently shaped branching biomorphic shaped pieces.   
     
     
         13 . The construction set of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a total of four or more differently shaped serial biomorphic shaped piece.   
     
     
         14 . The construction set of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a total of two or more differently shaped protozoan shaped pieces;   
     
     
         15 . The construction set of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a total of nine or more differently shaped geometric shaped pieces.   
     
     
         16 . The construction set of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 a total of three or more differently shaped body part shaped pieces.   
     
     
         17 . The construction set of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 a total of three or more differently shaped body part shaped pieces.   
     
     
         18 . The construction set of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 a total of 40 or more differently shaped pieces.
