Toy brick and storage space combination assembly

Abstract

A toy brick and storage space combination assembly includes a mounting brick that has a plurality of sides including a top side, a bottom side, a front side, rear side, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side. A plurality of male interconnection members is integrally coupled to the top side of the mounting brick and extending away therefrom. A female interconnection member extends into and is integral to the bottom side of the mounting brick. The male and female interconnection members releasably engage bricks from a building brick system and engage male and female interconnection members of other mounting bricks. The front side of the mounting brick is open to define an access to an interior of the mounting brick to facilitate the positioning of articles within the mounting brick. The access is the only opening into the interior.

         3 . The building brick assembly according to  claim 1 , further including a dividing wall being positioned in said interior, said dividing wall lying in a plane orientated parallel to said planes of said top and bottom sides and being spaced from said planes of said top and bottom sides, said dividing wall abutting a back wall of said brick, said back wall including said rear side. 
     
     
         4 . The building brick assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein said dividing wall divides said interior into an upper receiving space and a lower receiving space, said upper receiving space being positioned adjacent to a top wall of said mounting brick, said upper receiving space extending upwardly from said dividing wall to said top wall, said lower receiving space extending downwardly from said dividing wall to said bottom wall. 
     
     
         5 . The building brick assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein said dividing wall is slidably mounted on a pair of guides attached to said mounting brick such that said dividing wall is removable from said mounting brick. 
     
     
         6 . The building brick assembly according to  claim 1 , further including a door being positioned on mounting brick and being positioned in a closed position closing said access or an open position exposing said access and said interior. 
     
     
         7 . The building brick assembly according to  claim 6 , said door being pivotally mounted to said mounting brick. 
     
     
         8 . A building brick assembly configured to store small toy articles and to engage a brick system, said building brick assembly comprising:
 a mounting brick having a plurality of sides including a top side, a bottom side, a front side, rear side, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side, said top and bottom sides being positioned opposite of each other, said first and second lateral sides being positioned opposite of each other, said front side and said rear side being positioned opposite of each other, said front, rear, first lateral and second lateral sides extending between each of said top and bottom sides, said top and bottom sides lying in planes being orientated parallel to each other and said planes being spaced from each other, each of said top, bottom, front, rear first lateral and second lateral sides each being positioned on an exterior surface of said mounting brick;   a plurality of male interconnection members being integrally coupled to said top side of said mounting brick and extending away therefrom;   a female interconnection member extending into and being integral to said bottom side of said mounting brick, each of said male and female interconnection members being positioned outside of an interior of said mounting brick;   said male and female interconnection members being configured to releasably engage bricks from a building brick system and to engage male and female interconnection members of other ones of said building brick assembly;   said front side of said mounting brick being open to define an access to an interior of said mounting brick, said access being an only opening into said interior, said access extending from a top wall to a bottom wall of said mounting brick;   a dividing wall being positioned in said interior, said dividing wall dividing said interior into an upper receiving space and a lower receiving space, said upper receiving space being positioned adjacent to said top wall, said dividing wall being slidably mounted on guides attached to said mounting brick such that said dividing wall is removable from said mounting brick, said dividing wall lying in a plane orientated parallel to said planes of said top and bottom sides and being spaced from said planes of said top and bottom sides, said dividing wall abutting a back wall of said brick, said back wall including said rear side, said upper receiving space extending upwardly from said dividing wall to said top wall, said lower receiving space extending downwardly from said dividing wall to said bottom wall; and   a door being positioned on mounting brick and being positioned in a closed position closing said access or an open position exposing said access and said interior, said door being pivotally coupled to said mounting brick.
