Coupling Toy, System, and Kit

Abstract

A coupling toy, system, and kit is provided. In certain embodiments, the coupling toy may comprise a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface may have one or more recesses sized to frictionally engage one or more studs along a toy platform. In some embodiments, the top surface may be connected or coupled to a toy character, such as a human-like toy, an animal-like toy, a toy building structure, or a portion of a toy building structure. The coupling kit may comprise a toy platform having a top surface with one or more studs disposed in a parallel matrix, and at least one toy figure having a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface of the toy figure may be connected to a toy character or a toy building structure. The bottom surface of the toy figure may comprise one or more recesses sized to frictionally engage the one or more studs.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A coupling toy, comprising
 a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface has one or more recesses sized to frictionally engage one or more studs along a toy platform.   
     
     
         2 . The coupling toy of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more recesses comprises four recesses quadrilaterally spaced so as to correspond to the one or more studs. 
     
     
         3 . The coupling toy of  claim 2 , wherein the four recesses are partially cylindrical, the one or more studs are cylindrical, and a portion of each of the four recesses frictionally engages a portion of each of the one or more studs. 
     
     
         4 . The coupling toy of  claim 1 , wherein the top surface is connected to a toy character. 
     
     
         5 . The coupling toy of  claim 1 , wherein the top surface is connected to a toy building structure. 
     
     
         6 . A coupling toy system, comprising
 a toy platform having one or more studs;   at least one toy figure having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface has one or more recesses sized to frictionally engage the one or more studs.   
     
     
         7 . The coupling toy system of  claim 6 , wherein the top surface is connected to a toy character or a toy building structure. 
     
     
         8 . The coupling toy system of  claim 6 , wherein the one or more studs are cylindrical and disposed in a parallel matrix; and the one or more recesses are partially cylindrical. 
     
     
         9 . The coupling toy system of  claim 8 , wherein the one or more recesses comprise four recesses. 
     
     
         10 . The coupling toy system of  claim 9 , wherein the four recesses are quadrilaterally spaced. 
     
     
         11 . The coupling toy system of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one toy figure comprises two toy figures. 
     
     
         12 . The coupling toy system of  claim 11 , wherein the two toy figures are two shoes or two extremities connected to the toy character. 
     
     
         13 . A coupling toy kit, comprising
 a toy platform having a top surface with one or more studs disposed in a parallel matrix;   at least one toy figure having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein
 the top surface is connected to a toy character or a toy building structure; and 
 the bottom surface has one or more recesses sized to frictionally engage the one or more studs. 
   
     
     
         14 . The coupling toy kit of  claim 13 , wherein the one or more studs are cylindrical and the one or more recesses are partially cylindrical. 
     
     
         15 . The coupling toy kit of  claim 13 , wherein the one or more recesses comprises four recesses quadrilaterally spaced so as to correspond to the parallel matrix. 
     
     
         16 . The coupling toy kit of  claim 13 , wherein the at least one toy figure comprises two toy figures connected to the toy character. 
     
     
         17 . The coupling toy kit of  claim 16 , wherein the two toy figures comprise two shoes or two extremities.
