Abstract:
An octagon cube spacial logical toy having a total of twenty-six planar exterior surfaces comprising;(a) a spherical core member including six cylindrical connector assemblies oriented along three orthogonal symmetry axes; (b) a first set of six identical elements, each element comprising a T-shaped member including a square top portion and perpendicular base portion, the T-shaped member with a hollow bore there through adapted to accept a cylindrical connector assembly from a base portion end thereof, the connector assembly having a retainer means for securing the T-shaped member thereon, and a square cap portion secured over the hollow bore of the T-shaped member opposite the connector assembly; (c) a second set of eight identical elements, each element comprising a tetrahedron member with an integrally formed cam element located at one corner of the tetrahedron member opposite a triangular surface thereof, the cam element including a spherical section surface with concavity in opposition to the opposed triangular surface of the tetrahedron member opposite the cam element; and (d) a third set of twelve identical elements, each element comprising a solid triangular member with an integrally formed cam element located at a midpoint of one edge of the solid triangular member opposite a square surface thereof, the cam element including a spherical section surface with concavity in opposition to the opposed square surface of the solid triangular member opposite the cam element; (e) whereby each T-shaped member of the first set of elements is secured to a cylindrical connector assembly of the spherical core member with the square cap portion on the toy exterior, each solid triangular member of the third set of elements is positioned between two adjacent T-shaped members of the first set of elements with the cam spherical section surface adjacent the spherical core member and opposed square surface on the toy exterior, and each tetrahedron member of the second set of elements is positioned between three adjacent solid triangular members of the third set of elements with the cam spherical section surface adjacent the spherical core member and opposed triangular surface on the toy exterior, thereby forming a spacial toy with twenty-six exterior surfaces.
