Interlocking block, assembly using the same, and furniture

Abstract

An interlocking block is configured to be assembled with another interlocking block having the same shape and the same size, and has a base in the shape of a pillar extending in a predetermined direction which has a surface formed with a pair of cutouts in bilateral symmetry. The width and the thickness of an end surface 16 are the same. When the width of the end surface is W, the length of the surface in the predetermined direction is 6W, and the distance from the end surface to one of the pair of cutouts is W, and the length of the cutout is W, and the depth of the cutout is W/2.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An interlocking block configured to be assembled with another interlocking block having the same shape and the same size, comprising;
 a base in the shape of a pillar extending in a predetermined direction, the base having a surface formed with a pair of cutouts in bilateral symmetry in the predetermined direction, wherein:   the width and the thickness of the base are the same; and   when the width of the base is W, then the length of the surface in the predetermined direction is 6W, and the distance from an end surface of the base to one of the pair of cutouts in the predetermined direction is W, and the length of each of the cutouts in the predetermined direction is W, and the depth of each of the cutouts is W/2.   
     
     
         2 . The interlocking block according to  claim 1 , having a pair of thin parts formed with the pair of cutouts and a thick part that is thicker than the pair of thin parts, and configured to be assembled with the another interlocking block by inserting one of the thin part and the thick part into the cutout of the another interlocking block. 
     
     
         3 . An assembly including a plurality of interlocking blocks of  claim 2 , the interlocking blocks being assembled with each other. 
     
     
         4 . A furniture having a structure of the assembly of  claim 3 .
