Patent ID: 8403721

Claim:
A toy linking segment for pivotal securement to another toy linking segment, the toy linking segment comprising: a base structure configured to rest upon a surface; an actuatable device secured to the base structure, the actuatable device being capable of movement from a first position to a second position; a first coupling member secured to the base structure and extending away from the base structure in a first direction along the surface, the first coupling member being configured to be pivotally received on top of another coupling member; a second coupling member secured to the base structure and extending away from the base structure in a second direction along the surface, the first direction being different from the second direction, the second coupling member being configured to rest upon the surface and be pivotally secured underneath another coupling member; a trigger operably coupled to the actuatable device and moveably secured to the base structure proximate to either the first coupling member or the second coupling member, the trigger being pivotally mounted to the base for movement between a first position and a second position; and wherein the actuatable device is moved from the first position to the second position when the trigger is moved from the first position to the second position.
