Toy building set

Abstract

A toy building set comprising separate building elements adapted for building a toy figure, the building elements comprising a number of body elements ( 1, 2, 3 ) that are interconnected or adapted for being interconnected by means of articulated joints, and where the toy building set also comprises a number of dressing elements ( 5 ) and means for mounting the dressing elements on the body elements. The toy building set further comprises a number of design elements ( 4 ), and the at least one design element and at the least one body element has a first type of complementary coupling means ( 7 ) adapted for releasably mounting the design element on the body element, and where at least one dressing element and the design element has a second different type of complementary coupling means ( 8, 9 ) adapted for releasably mounting a dressing element on the design element, so that it is not possible to mount the dressing element on a body element.

1 . A toy building set comprising separate building elements adapted for building a toy figure, the building elements comprising a number of body elements that are interconnected or adapted for being interconnected by means of articulated joints, and where the toy building set also comprises a number of dressing elements and means for mounting the dressing elements on the body elements, wherein the toy building set further comprises a number of design elements, and in that at least one design element and at least one body element has a first type of complementary coupling means adapted for releasably mounting the design element on the body element, and where at least one dressing element and the design element has a second different type of complementary coupling means adapted for releasably mounting a dressing element on the design element. 
     
     
         2 . A toy building set according to  claim 1 , wherein the first type of complementary coupling means is incompatible with the second type of complementary coupling means. 
     
     
         3 . A toy building set according to  claim 2 , wherein the first type of complementary coupling means is adapted for providing a snap function for mounting the design element on the body element. 
     
     
         4 . A toy building set according to  claim 3 , wherein the snap function comprises a ball and a socket. 
     
     
         5 . A toy building set according to  claim 4 , wherein the ball is a part of the body element, and the socket is a part of the design element. 
     
     
         6 . A toy building set according to  claim 4 , wherein the body element and the design element comprises positioning means adapted for fixing the two elements in a mutual position with respect to each other, when the design element is mounted on the body element by means of the first type of complementary coupling means. 
     
     
         7 . A toy building set according to  claim 1 , wherein the second type of complementary coupling means comprises at least one coupling pin arranged on one of the elements and a corresponding coupling hole arranged on the other one of the elements, and where the coupling pin and the coupling hole are formed so that insertion of the coupling pin into the coupling hole requires elastic deformation of at least one of them. 
     
     
         8 . A toy building set according to  claim 7 , wherein the coupling pin is arranged on the dressing element, and the coupling hole is arranged on the design element. 
     
     
         9 . A toy building set according to  claim 8 , wherein the dressing element is made of a more resilient material than the design element. 
     
     
         10 . A toy building set according to  claim 7 , wherein the second type of complementary coupling means comprises at least two coupling pins arranged on the same element, and a corresponding number of coupling holes arranged on the other element, and where the coupling pins and coupling holes are arranged with a mutual distance, allowing simultaneous insertion of at least two coupling pins into two coupling holes. ii. (Currently Amended) A toy building set according to  claim 5 , wherein the articulated joints also comprises a ball and a socket, and where the ball is compatible with the socket on the design element.
