    Abstract: A connector element for a construction system, the construction system having first and second construction elements. The first type of construction elements comprising at least one construction element having connector knobs formed on a surface thereof and arranged in a regular two-dimensional lattice. The second type of construction elements comprising at least one construction element configured to cooperate with a connector peg to form a snap connection. The connector element comprising an elongate body having first and second ends and a longitudinal axis (A1). The first end having a first cylindrical connector portion, having an inner surface configured to form a friction fit, and an outer surface configured to form a friction fit between four neighbouring connector knobs formed on a first type of construction element. A second cylindrical connector portion configured to form a snap connection with the cylindrical connector opening of the second type of construction elements.

    Abstract: A wheel for a toy vehicle, the wheel comprising an axle hub defining a wheel axis of rotation and a rim with an inboard flange and an outboard flange each having an outer diameter. The wheel further comprises a primary tire forming the tread of the wheel with a tread diameter and a tread width. The primary tire is attached to the axle hub between the inboard and the outboard flange such that it rotates with the axle hub. The wheel further comprises an outboard slip ring rotatably mounted between the primary tire and the outboard flange so that the outboard slip ring can rotate with respect to the primary tire about the wheel axis of rotation. The outboard slip ring has an outer diameter smaller than the tread diameter and larger than the outer diameter of the outboard flange.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for checking connection stability of a plurality of assembling elements disposed in a virtual space, each of the assembling elements having at least one coupling part complementarily coupled to another coupling part and being connected to another assembling element through the coupling part. A connection stability checking method includes: assigning preset weight information to the assembling element; calculating a coupling power of the coupling part in consideration of a coupling type and a coupling number of the coupling part; and determining connection stability between the assembling element and another assembling element on the basis of the coupling power and the weight information assigned to the assembling element.
