CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This Application claims priority to KR 10-2006-0004426 filed Jan. 16, 2006, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [0002] C.-E. Not Applicable BACKGROUND [0003] The present invention generally relates to toy blocks, and more specifically, to toy blocks equipped with concave grooves interference-fitted to convex projections on the rest of sides except one side where the convex projections are formed. [0004] A LEGO product is a representative example of toy blocks. In case of the LEGO product, convex projections are formed on the top while concave grooves interference-fitted to the convex projections are formed on the bottom and the rest of sides are in flat shape. Thus, it is easy to pile up such "LEGO" blocks to the top from the bottom, but it is hard to make shapes which can be extended sideways. BRIEF SUMMARY [0005] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide toy blocks capable of inserting other configured blocks from sides of each configured block. [0006] To accomplish the above object, the toy blocks including hexahedral blocks comprise convex projections formed on at least one side, and concave grooves inserted into the convex projections on all of the remaining sides through an interference-fit method. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0007] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hexahedral block of one embodiment in accordance with the present invention; [0008] FIG. 2 is a diagram for viewing the hexahedral block of FIG. 1 in various directions, (a) illustrates a plane figure, (b) illustrates a front view and a rear view, (c) illustrates a left side view and a right side view, and (d) illustrates a bottom view; [0009] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a cylindrical block of one embodiment in accordance with the present invention; [0010] FIG. 4 is a diagram for viewing the cylindrical block of FIG. 3 in various directions, (a) illustrates a plane figure, (b) illustrates a front view and a rear view, (c) illustrates a left side view and a right side view, and (d) illustrates a bottom view; [0011] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a connection piece connected to piercing grooves of the hexahedral block and the cylindrical block of the present invention; [0012] FIG. 6 is a cut sectional view of A-A' of the hexahedral block which is the one embodiment of the present invention suggested in FIG. 1; [0013] FIG. 7 is a cut sectional view of B-B' of the hexahedral block which is the one embodiment of the present invention suggested in FIG. 1; [0014] FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a state that the connection piece is inserted into the hexahedral block; and [0015] FIG. 9 is a cut sectional view of C-C' direction in the perspective view of FIG. 8. [0016] Brief Description of important referenced numbers: TABLE-US-00001 10 convex projections 11 concave grooves 12 concave spaces 15 piercing grooves 16 vertial piercing grooves 17 horizontal piercing grooves 21 insertion grooves 22 inter-spaces 23 chamfers DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0017] The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. [0018] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hexahedral block of one embodiment in accordance with the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram for viewing the hexahedral block of FIG. 1 in various directions, (a) illustrates a plane figure, (b) illustrates a front view and a rear view, (c) illustrates a left side view and a right side view, and (d) illustrates a bottom view. [0019] Like shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.2, convex projections (10) are formed on an upper side of the hexahedral block, and concave grooves (11) into which the convex projections (10) are inserted are formed on the remaining sides. Though the convex projections (10) are formed on the upper side only while the concave grooves (11) are formed on the remaining sides in an embodiment of the drawing, it is only one embodiment. So, it is also possible to form the convex projections (10) on more than two sides and to form the concave grooves (11) on the remaining sides when necessary. Continue reading about Toy blocks...
