Abstract
Abstract A structural element for composable toy constructions, comprising an elongated body with spaced apart land portions and recessed portions therebetween. The elongated body comprises further a series of apertures spaced apart over the length of the elongated body and adapted to receive portions of the elongated body. The element may serve as a supporting stick for ice cream.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A structural element for composable toy constructions, comprising a substantially flat elongated body having spaced apart land portions defining a first transverse dimension of the element and arranged in regular intervals over the length of the elongated body and recessed portions therebetween defining a second transverse dimension of the element, the land portions each having a first longitudinal extension thereof and the recessed portions each having a second longitudinal extension thereof, the elongated body further comprising a number of crossshaped aperTures spaced apart over the length of the elongated body and each defined by a longitudinal and a transverse slot, said cross-shaped apertures each having a longitudinal span having a magnitude equal to said first transverse dimension and a transverse span having a magnitude equal to said second transverse dimension, said first longitudinal extension being equal to said transverse span and said second longitudinal extension being equal to said second transverse dimension.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A structural element for composable toy constructions, comprising a substantially flat elongated body having spaced apart land portions defining a first transverse dimension of the element and arranged in regular intervals over the length of the elongated body and recessed portions therebetween defining a second transverse dimension of the element, the land portions each having a first longitudinal extension thereof and the recessed portions each having a second longitudinal extension thereof, the elongated body further comprising a number of crossshaped aperTures spaced apart over the length of the elongated body and each defined by a longitudinal and a transverse slot, said cross-shaped apertures each having a longitudinal span having a magnitude equal to said first transverse dimension and a transverse span having a magnitude equal to said second transverse dimension, said first longitudinal extension being equal to said transverse span and said second longitudinal extension being equal to said second transverse dimension.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
94 words
A structural element according to claim 1, wherein said longitudinal and transverse slot each define a gap corresponding to the thickness of said elongated body, one of the slots being a longitudinal slot corresponding to said longitudinal span and the other slot being a transverse slot corresponding to said transverse span, and wherein the magnitudes of said first longitudinal extension, said second longitudinal extension, said transverse span and said second transverse dimension are all equal to each other, the magnitude of said first transverse dimension being equal to the magnitude of said longitudinal span.
