- the basic element 1, that is to say the non-food household article, is thus the design and construction element of the overall object 3, here in the form of the toy.
- the sales unit according to the invention is realized particularly advantageously with a rod-like basic element 1, which preferably has a circular cylindrical basic shape.
- the glue stick shown here represents such a particularly suitable basic element 1.

- the decorative element 2 ends just above the screw section 5 of the glue stick forming the basic element 1.
- This screw section 5 has, as the illustrated embodiment shows, ribbing in the longitudinal direction.
- the overall impression in the illustration in FIG. 3 is that the screw section 5 forms, so to speak, the "engine" of the space glider, represented by the decorative element 2.
- Fig. 3 in connection with Fig. 4 shows a further special feature, which consists in the fact that the basic element 1 designed as a glue stick has a closure cap 6 at the upper end, the decorative element 2 having a window-like opening 12 at the level of the closure cap 6 of the basic element 1 , This can be seen in FIG. 4 by the ribs 10 that are visible laterally in the opening 12.

- the window-like opening 12 is the viewing window for the astronaut.
- the decorative element 2 is, for example, a knight's helmet or other headwear. Other air, land and water vehicles can also be used as a decorative element.
- a variant in which the decorative element 2 is a racing boat is particularly interesting. In this case in particular, the empty glue stick - basic element 1 - can still be used. You screw with the screw Cut 5 the inner transport part back and closes the glue stick firmly by means of the closure cap 6. Then it practically represents a floating body of the racing boat, the outer skin of which is formed by the decorative element 2.
