Patent ID: 8790151

Claim:
A toy construction base plate comprising: a support member extending substantially along a plane and having a building surface on which to build a toy construction; and a first handle member and a second handle member, wherein each of the first handle member and the second handle member extends in a substantially straight direction from a pivot end to a distal end, wherein each of the first handle member and the second handle member has the pivot end pivotably attached to the support member so as to pivot from a first position substantially parallel to the plane of the support member to a second position at an angle to the plane, wherein in the second position, the first handle member and the second handle member mate to form a handle, wherein in the first position, the support member, the first handle member, and the second handle member lie flat on a flat play surface, the substantially straight direction of the first handle member from the pivot end to the distal end of the first handle member is generally parallel to the flat play surface, and the substantially straight direction of the second handle member from the pivot end to the distal end of the second handle member is generally parallel to the flat surface, and wherein in the second position, the handle of the base plate is graspable by a user to move the toy construction around.
