Flexible module connector building toy set

Abstract

A toy building set that contains a plurality of building members. At least one of the building members includes a connector attached to a flexible linkage. The connector can snap onto the linkage of another building member. Allowing the connector to be snapped onto the linkage of another member provides flexibility in the location of the attachment and the design of the structure created from the building set. The flexible nature of the linkages also provides greater artistic freedom in creating a structure with the building set.

1 . A toy building set, comprising:
 a plurality of building members, at least one of said building members include a connecter attached to a flexible linkage.   
   
   
       2 . The building set of  claim 1 , wherein said flexible linkage includes a bendable wire covered by an outer sleeve. 
   
   
       3 . The building set of  claim 1 , wherein said connector is a female connector. 
   
   
       4 . The building set of  claim 1 , wherein said female connector has an opening that is smaller than an outer diameter of said flexible linkage. 
   
   
       5 . The building set of  claim 1 , wherein said connector is a male connector. 
   
   
       6 . The building set of  claim 3 , wherein said female connector snaps onto said flexible linkage. 
   
   
       7 . The building set of  claim 1 , wherein one of said building members includes four connectors. 
   
   
       8 . The building set of  claim 1 , wherein one of said building members is a wheel. 
   
   
       9 . The building set of  claim 1 , wherein one of said building members is at least a part of a toy character. 
   
   
       10 . A method for using a toy building set, comprising:
 attaching a connector of a first building member to a flexible linkage of a second building member.   
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the connector snaps onto the flexible linkage. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the connector is attached to a flexible linkage of the first building member. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the connector is attached to a wheel. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the connector is attached to at least a part of a toy character. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising attaching a connector of the second building member to a connector of a third building member.
