Claim:
1. A structural assembly device comprising a) a component part having predetermined shape and a post connector connecting element, wherein said component part is substantially planar in shape and b) a post connector comprised of a post and a component part connecting element wherein said component part connecting element is structurally connected to said post; wherein at least part of said component part connecting element is substantially displaced radially from a central axis of the post, wherein said at least part of said component part connecting element is connectable directly by snapping together with said post connector connecting element, such that when connected, said at least part of said component part connecting element contacts said post connector connecting element, wherein said snapping together may be facilitated by a bump or lip on at least part of the post connector connecting element or at least part of the component part connecting element, wherein said post connector and a plurality of said component parts may be mechanically connected via said component part connecting element and a plurality of said post connector connecting elements to form a structure, such that, when connected, said component parts can swivel relative to the post about said central axis of the post, wherein said post connector connecting element in said structure does not encircle the post, and wherein said at least part of said component part connecting element extends over a substantial continuous region, wherein said region effectively comprises an arc section of a circumference around the central axis of the post, and wherein said device is a toy; whereby children and others may construct structural assemblies for many purposes, including simply for fun.
