The invention relates to a toy construction kit comprising a plurality of
elongated rod members of different lengths; and a plurality of joining
members. Each joining member is configured and dimensioned to be capable
of connecting at least three rod members together around a common vertex
point in a weave pattern such that the rods do not pass through the vertex
point but are oriented about it in a clockwise or counter-clockwise
arrangement. At least some and preferably all rod members are formed with
a zig-zag configuration to avoid bending the rod members at vertex points.
After making a structure by weaving the rod members and temporarily or
permanently connecting them with the joining members, unique and original
space frames are obtained. These objects form another embodiment of the
invention.
