Inzerce / Advertisement funny bridges wooden construction set, 14 models of real bridges We would like to present to you a box of construction set whose individual parts can be easily assembled into 14 different models; each model contains different bridge construction. These models represent faithful replicas of real bridges including their basic statics. The construction set may therefore serve as a toy as well as a teaching aid, since the individual types of bridges may provide a simple illustration of elementary static and dynamic principles of the different types of constructions. The construction set is also a suitable aid for development of creative construction thinking, as the individual parts of the set allow for assembling of many other different types of construction, depending on the imagination of children and adults as well. In addition to that, successful assembly of the support system without further supportive elements (that are not part of the set) develops static thinking. Assembling individual models of bridges does not place any high initial demands on the expertise of their “constructors” - inaccurate understanding of the construction principles, in other words the incorrect assembly of individual components, immediately becomes apparent in visible malfunction of the construction. Even applying “trial-and-error method” will ultimately determine which solution is the correct one and why. The set is based on real principles of bridge engineering. The construction and design of the set are protected by Czech utility model number 24734 and by Czech industrial models number 35354 and 35350.
