Universal decorative element for toy making - has two holes with centres on common diameter, in circular metal or plastics plate

摘要

A basic element for making decorative designs or children's toys consists of a flat circular piece of metal, wood or plastics. Two circular holes have their centres on a common diameter of the main circle. The circular holes leave a small central bridge (V), and two peripheral bridges which are cut through. An ornament can then be formed by twisting one half (1a) through 90 deg. with respect to the other. Or the two halves may be completely separated and re-joined in different ways with other similar elements to make a variety of designs.
