DEFINITION

Classification: 446/85

CONSTRUCTION TOY:

(under the class definition) Device comprising a plurality of parts for assembling, wherein the child plays with the device by assembling, disassembling, or relatively arranging the parts.

(1) Note. Mere recitation in a claim that a part is "detachable" from a toy is not in itself sufficient to cause classification as a construction toy as defined above. Although the toy may be an operable device in assembled form, a primary purpose of the toy must be the amusement of the child by assembling or disassembling the toy.
