Suction Cup Construction Toy Set

Abstract

The present invention is directed towards a suction cup construction toy set that is capable of securing to predetermined points of other interlocking pieces as well as to other surfaces and locations of any interlocking piece. The interlocking pieces of the construction toy set also have the capability of removably attaching to other items or places that are not part of the construction toy set. The suction cup construction set is comprised of a plurality of interlocking pieces comprising at least a first planar member and a second planar member, any number of connection members, and any number of suction cups positioned on the connection members. The suction cup construction toy set allows for free-thinking designs and creativity for any user as the interlocking pieces may be constructed in any number of unique configurations and secured to any number of horizontal or vertical surfaces.

         8 . The construction toy set as in  claim 1   a, wherein said first planar member is made of a bendable material such that said first planar member is configured to be disposed in a first configuration and a second configuration;   b, wherein in said first configuration said first planar member is disposed in a plane; and   c, wherein in said second configuration said first planar member has a bend in such that said first planar member extends beyond said plane of said first configuration.   
     
     
         9 . The construction toy set as in  claim 1  further comprising one or more apertures in said first planar member. 
     
     
         10 . The construction toy set as in  claim 9  further comprising a first connection member overmolded onto said first planar member such that said first connection member passes through at least one of said one or more apertures. 
     
     
         11 . The construction toy set as in  claim 1  wherein said first suction cup of said first planar member is removably connected to said first portion of said second planar member. 
     
     
         12 . The construction toy set as in  claim 1  wherein said first suction cup of said first planar member is removably connected to said first suction cup of said second planar member. 
     
     
         13 . The construction toy set as in  claim 1  wherein said first planar member further comprises a spherical member disposed on a first side. 
     
     
         14 . The construction toy set as in  claim 13  wherein said spherical member is removably connected to said first planar member. 
     
     
         15 . The construction toy set as in  claim 1   a, wherein said first planar member further comprises a second suction cup;   b, wherein said first suction cup is disposed in a first direction and wherein said second suction cup is disposed in a second direction; and   c, wherein said second direction is approximately 180 degrees from said first direction.   
     
     
         16 . The construction toy set as in  claim 1   a, wherein said first planar member further comprises a second suction cup;   b, wherein said first suction cup is disposed in a first direction and wherein said second suction cup is disposed in a second direction; and   c, wherein said second direction is approximately 90 degrees from said first direction.   
     
     
         17 .
