Connection assembly for a toy construction having a toy structural element having an outer circumference connecting an interior and an exterior side, a channel extending from a first engagement member to a second engagement member arranged at different positions, a first locking device having a first and a second latching member, connected via an elongated first elastic element, and the first elastic element extending in the first channel such that a tension is applied to the elastic element to keep the latching members engaged with the engagement members,the toy structural element comprises a base element for connecting to a covering element to form the toy structural element, and the engagement members and/or the channel are open at the exposed interior side for removal of the first locking device from the base element when the covering element is detached from the base element.
A connector assembly (200) comprising a body (203) having two U-shaped sections (201,202) each section having two opposed arms (204,205) having a hole (207,208) and a locking device (209,210) having an elongate locking member (215,216) extending through the holes of each arm. A first and second latching member (212,213) are attached to each respective end of the locking member (215, 216) abutting against an outward surface of the respective arm (204,205). The locking member comprises a first elongate body (215) having a first diameter attached with one end to the first latching member (213), and a second elongate body (216) that is connected to the first elongate body (215) movably along a longitudinal axis (L). The second elongate body (216) comprises a second diameter being smaller than the diameter of the first elongate body and being attached with one end to the second latching member (212).

A connection element (1) comprising a main connector axis (X) and a first end part (2) and a second end part (3) spaced-apart from the first end part along the main connector axis. The first end part (2) and the second end part (3) are connected by an intermediate part (4). Moreover, the first end part (2) comprises a pair of resilient clamping members (5, 5') separated by a clamping groove (6) extending substantially parallel to the main connector axis along a distance D allowing bending towards each other. Each clamping member (5, 5') comprises a clamping surface (7, 7') provided with teeth (8) for engaging a structural element (9), and a retainer region (10) provided at an outer circumference of each clamping member (5, 5'). The retainer region (10) being delimited in a direction along the main connector axis (X) by a first delimitation body (12) and a second delimitation body (13) such that an element can be slid over the outer circumference of the pair of clamping members (5, 5') in the direction of the main connector axis (X) to be retained in the retainer region (10) between the first and second delimitation bodies (12, 13).

FASTENING ASSEMBLY, RECEIVING ELEMENT, INSERTION ELEMENT AND LATCHING ASSEMBLY
The present invention relates to a fastening system comprising a first element having a first latching surface, a second element having a second contact surface abutting the first contact surface, and a locking device having first and second latching members interconnected via a locking body of a diameter generally corresponding to the diameter of the fastening channels and via an elastic element that is attached to the first latching member and to the second latching member for allowing elastic displacement of the second latching member, the diameter of the elastic element being smaller than a diameter of the access slot, wherein the first latching member is placed in contact with the first latching surface, the locking body extending through first and second fastening channels, the second latching member being biased against a second contact surface or against a further contact surface spaced at a distance from the second contact surface.
The invention relates to a rotary assembly (1) comprising two spaced-apart support members (5a, 5b). A shaft (7) is connected with respective ends to each support member (5a, 5b) via an engagement part (12), and a rotary element (4) having a through hole extending around the shaft so as to be supported on said shaft between support members (5a, 5b). The shaft comprises a flexible wire-like elongate body (6) that is connected to the support members (5a, 5b) under axial tension. The shaft is connected to the support members (5a, 5b) in a nonrotating manner, the through hole being of larger diameter than a shaft diameter so that the rotary element (4) is rotatably supported on said shaft (7).
