Play Construction Set

Abstract

The play construction set provides a means whereby children and youth may develop creativity and problem-solving skills in a recreational setting. The set is comprised of wooden strut pieces, wooden connector pieces, and a couple building tools, namely pliers and a mallet. The design of the pieces allows for many possible building configurations. The quality of the pieces gives the configurations the capacity to be used for a real purpose, i.e. the structural stability of the pieces would allow a good chair design to be sturdy enough to hold the weight of a human. For extra stability, glue can be applied to hold the connector and strut pieces in place. The strut pieces come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Some such shapes are cylindrical, octagonal prisms, and triangular prisms.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A play construction set comprising:
 a plurality of members defining holes in all sides thereof passing through from one side to another side thereof;   a plurality of fasteners configured to be received into the defined holes and to conjoin the plurality of members and to define radial holes configured to receive another fastener there through; and   a plurality of tools configured to facilitate an insertion and a removal of the plurality of fasteners into and from the defined holes in the plurality of members and from the radial holes of the plurality of fasteners.   
     
     
         2 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of members includes a rectangular geometry, a square geometry, a circular geometry, a triangular geometry, a polygonal geometry and a cylindrical geometry. 
     
     
         3 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fasteners include wooden pegs. 
     
     
         4 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fasteners include wooden bolts and wooden screws. 
     
     
         5 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tools include a wooden wrench and a wooden mallet. 
     
     
         6 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the holes comprise a diameter larger than the fasteners. 
     
     
         7 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the fasteners include wooden nuts. 
     
     
         8 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the holes are defined in an angular relation to a surface of the plurality of members. 
     
     
         9 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of members and the plurality of fasteners conjoined together comprise a chair. 
     
     
         10 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of members and the plurality of fasteners conjoined together comprise a table. 
     
     
         11 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the holes defined in the plurality of members are equidistantly spaced apart. 
     
     
         12 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the holes defined in the plurality of members are randomly spaced like ‘swiss cheese.’ 
     
     
         13 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fasteners comprise fluted sides to facilitate an insertion and a removal into and from the plurality of members. 
     
     
         14 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fasteners comprise channeled sides to facilitate an insertion and a removal into and from the plurality of members. 
     
     
         15 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fasteners comprise dovetailed sides to facilitate an insertion and a removal into and from the plurality of members. 
     
     
         16 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fasteners comprise helical grooves to facilitate an insertion and a removal into and from a notched hole in the plurality of members. 
     
     
         17 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the holes defined in the plurality of members comprise a crenelated circumference complementary to channeled sides of the plurality of fasteners. 
     
     
         18 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the holes defined in the plurality of members comprise a channeled circumference complementary to channeled sides of the plurality of members. 
     
     
         19 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , wherein the holes defined in the plurality of members comprise an inverse dovetail protuberance circumference complementary to the channeled sides of the plurality of members. 
     
     
         20 . The play construction set of  claim 1 , further comprising a plug configured to cap off a hole defined in the plurality of members.
