Abstract

An electrical construction toy system is comprised of one or more base pieces and building blocks. At least one of the base pieces or building blocks providing a power source within the base piece or building block. The connection between base pieces and building blocks does not have to be mechanical, but can be magnetic as well. The connection between base pieces and building blocks further provides an electrical connection from which the power source may pass energy to one or more additional building blocks in varying directions. The connections conduct electricity and some building blocks or base pieces also provide powered effects, such as lighting, sound, and motion effects. In addition, there are several switch blocks to operate the lighting, sound, and motion by a wireless remote control.

Claims

1. An electrical construction toy system, comprising:

a. a flat base;

b. said flat base being made of a plurality of base pieces;

c. at least one of said plurality of base pieces having a power source embedded within the base piece;

d. a means of connecting each of said plurality of base pieces to other base pieces located on the sides of said base piece;

e. said means of connecting further providing an electrical connection such that power from the power source passes between connected base pieces;

f. one or more powered effects;

g. said at least one powered effect being activated when the powered effect is connected to the power source.

2. The electrical construction toy system of claim 1, further comprising of an image;

said image being printed on the top surface of the base pieces such that when said base pieces are assembled in a specific order, the image is completed;

wherein power is supplied to each base piece when connected in the specific order.

3. The electrical construction toy system of claim 2, wherein said one or more powered effects are a part of the base pieces, such that, when power is supplied to each base piece, the powered effect is activated.

4. The electrical construction toy system of claim 3, wherein said powered effects are lights, speakers, or moving parts.

5. The electrical construction toy system of claim 1, further comprising:

a. building blocks;

b. a means of connecting said plurality of base pieces to the building blocks located on the top surface of said base pieces;

c. said means of connecting further providing an electrical connection such that power from the power source passes between connected base pieces and building blocks;

d. a means of connecting said building blocks to other building blocks;

e. said means of connecting further providing an electrical connection such that power from the power source passes between connected building blocks.

6. The electrical construction toy system of claim 5, wherein said building blocks are shaped like buildings.

7. The electrical construction toy system of claim 5, wherein one or more powered effects are a part of the base pieces, such that, when power is supplied to each base piece, the powered effect is activated.

8. The electrical construction toy system of claim 7, wherein said powered effects are lights, speakers, or moving parts.

9. The electrical construction toy system of claim 5, wherein one or more powered effects are a part of the building blocks, such that, when power is supplied to each building block, the powered effect is activated.

10. The electrical construction toy system of claim 9, wherein said powered effects are lights, speakers, or moving parts.

11. An electrical construction toy system, comprising:

a. a plurality of building blocks;

b. at least one of said plurality of building blocks having a power source embedded within the building block;

c. a means of connecting each of said plurality of building blocks to other building blocks;

d. said means of connecting further providing an electrical connection such that power from the power source passes between connected building blocks;

e. one or more powered effects;

f. said at least one powered effect being activated when the powered effect is connected to the power source.

12. The electrical construction toy system of claim 11, further comprising one or more switches;

said switches being configured to activate or deactivate the power from the power source to the rest of the system.

13. The electrical construction toy system of claim 12, wherein said at least one switch is provided on a remote, such that, said switch activates or deactivates the power source wirelessly.

14. The electrical construction toy system of claim 12, wherein said at least one switch is a plurality of switches such that different switches may control the activation of different power sources;

each different power source may power different powered effects.

15. The electrical construction toy system of claim 13, wherein said at least one switch is a plurality of switches such that different switches may control the activation of different power sources;

each different power source may power different powered effects.

16. The electrical construction toy system of claim 14, wherein said powered effects are lights, speakers, or moving parts.

17. The electrical construction toy system of claim 14, wherein said powered effects are lights, speakers, or moving parts.

18. An electrical construction toy system, comprising:

a. a flat base;

b. said flat base being made of one or more base pieces;

c. at least one of said base pieces having a power source embedded within the base piece;

d. a plurality of building blocks;

e. a means of connecting each of said plurality of building blocks to other building blocks;

f. a means of connecting at least one of said building blocks to said base piece;

g. said means of connecting further providing an electrical connection such that power from the power source passes between connected building blocks and/or base pieces;

h. one or more powered effects;

i. said at least one powered effect being activated when the powered effect is connected to the power source.

19. The electrical construction toy system of claim 18, wherein said building blocks are cylindrical or conical in shape such that when connected the building electrical construction toy system takes on the shape of a tree with different branches.

20. The electrical construction toy system of claim 18, wherein said one or more powered effects are lights, speakers, or moving parts.
