Element for a toy interlocking construction block set

Abstract

An interlocking construction building block element can be used to add text, labels and symbols to interlocking building block projects. The element can be shaped and sized to interlock with common existing interlocking building block products. A portion of the element can be formed in the shape of letters, numbers or symbols, thus allowing these elements to be spelled out on the surface of the interlocking building block pieces.

         1 . An element for an interlocking building set, comprising:
 an element interlocking socket adapted to receive a base interlocking post of a base of the interlocking building set; and   a text notation disposed on a surface of the element, the text notation viewable when the element interlocking socket is inserted into the base interlocking post.   
     
     
         2 . The element of  claim 1 , wherein the element is adapted to be disposed on adjacent ones of the base interlocking posts. 
     
     
         3 . The element of  claim 1 , further comprising an element interlocking post formed on the element, the element interlocking post having a size and shape matching the base interlocking post. 
     
     
         4 . The element of  claim 3 , wherein the text notation is disposed on a surface of the element interlocking post. 
     
     
         5 . The element of  claim 1 , wherein the text notation is disposed at a side opposite the element interlocking socket. 
     
     
         6 . The element of  claim 1 , wherein the text notation is raised text notation. 
     
     
         7 . An element for an interlocking building set, comprising:
 an element interlocking socket adapted to receive a base interlocking post of a base of the interlocking building set;   an element interlocking post formed on the element, the element interlocking post having a size and shape matching the base interlocking post; and   a text notation disposed on a surface of the element, the text notation viewable when the element interlocking socket is inserted into the base interlocking post, wherein   the text notation is disposed on an exterior surface of the element interlocking post.   
     
     
         8 . The element of  claim 7 , wherein the element is adapted to be disposed on adjacent ones of the base interlocking posts.
