| Abstract: |
A toy including a base portion having a spherically contoured lower surface with a generally flattened portion at the center thereof and an upper surface with a centrally positioned post, and a plurality of other members, each of like configuration, but of different sizes, each being provided on the undersurface thereof with a centrally positioned cup-shaped socket portion configured for generally interlocking with the post, and on the upper surface thereof with a generally centrally positioned post. A figure member is provided with a cup-shaped socket portion in the bottom thereof for engagement with the post of the uppermost other member.

We claim:
1. In a toy, the combination comprising:
- a hollow base member having a generally spherically shaped bottom surface means configured for rocking engagement with a supporting surface and an upper generally planar surface having a generally centrally located upwardly extending post means formed integrally therewith for providing a coupling extension, said generally spherically shaped bottom surface means including a substantially spherically shaped surface and generally centrally located substantially flattened portion on said substantially spherically shaped surface;
- a plurality of other hollow members, each of said other hollow members having generally parallel surfaces, one of said surfaces having a generally centrally positioned post means extending therefrom for providing a coupling extension configured generally identical to the post means of said hollow base member, and the other of said surfaces having formed generally centrally therein a generally cup-shaped socket means configured for mating engagement with one of said post means and removably stacking each of said other hollow members to another of said other hollow members in order to allow a number of said other hollow members to be supported on said hollow base member and rocked by said spherically shaped bottom surface means; and
- a figure member having a base portion with a generally cup-shaped socket means formed therein for mating engagement with one of said post means and removeably assembling said plurality of other hollow members in generally interlocking relation, said hollow base member having a wall thickness greater than the wall thickness of each of said other hollow members, said wall thickness of said other hollow members varying in size so that at least two of said other hollow members have different size wall thickness and said other hollow members are capable of being stacked upon one another in order of descending wall thickness size.
