A toy building set comprising a group of building elements, each having at least one ball 1, 2 arranged on the building element, and where the ball 1, 2 is connected to other parts of the building element via a connection rod 3, 4, and where the toy building set further comprises at least one element having a socket formed by two jaws 5, being arranged and adapted for receiving said ball 1, 2 in order to form a ball and socket joint, and where the cross section of the connection rod 3, from where it is connected to the ball 1 and at least a distance away from the ball 1, is smaller than the cross section of the ball 1, so that it gives a certain degree of freedom for the socket to rotate around the ball 1. The connection rods 3, 4 also comprise connections rods 4 having a relatively large cross section, so that the connection rods 4 with a relatively large cross section reduces the degree of freedom for the socket to rotate around the ball 2.
La présente invention a trait à un ensemble de construction de jouet qui comprend un groupe d'éléments de construction, ayant chacun au moins une bille (1, 2) qui est disposée sur l'élément de construction, et laquelle bille (1, 2) est reliée à d'autres pièces de l'élément de construction par l'intermédiaire d'une tige de connexion (3, 4). Ledit ensemble de construction de jouet comprend en outre au moins un élément qui est doté d'une cavité constituée de deux mâchoires (5), qui est agencée et conçue de manière à recevoir ladite bille (1, 2) en vue de former un joint de bille et de cavité, la coupe transversale de la tige de connexion (3), à partir de laquelle se fait la liaison avec la bille (1) et au moins à une certaine distance de la bille (1), étant plus petite que la coupe transversale de la bille (1), de sorte qu'il est possible d'obtenir un certain degré de liberté permettant à la cavité de tourner autour de la bille (1). Les tiges de connexion (3, 4) comprennent également des tiges de connexion (4) qui sont dotées d'une coupe transversale relativement large, de sorte que les tiges de connexion (4) dotées d'une coupe transversale relativement large réduisent le degré de liberté permettant à la cavité de tourner autour de la bille (2).
