Abstract
An octave magic cube has a spherical center core with square slider plates mounted at end of a six-arm cross center piece. A pattern of space channel is formed between the slider plates. Seven movable cubic block pieces having a triangular retainer plate mounted at the center of a partial spherical depression formed in one of its corners. The movable cubic block pieces are mounted to the core by slidably engaging the retainer plate with the space channel of the core. An eighth cubic block piece has a mounting plate with a clover leaf pattern is snap-mounted to the space channel of the core at the remaining position of the cube after the seven movable cubic block pieces have been mounted to the core.
Claims (5)
1. An octave cube comprising, a spherical core including a center cross member having six arms perpendicular to one another and having a square slider plate fixedly mounted at an end of each of said arms, said slider plate having a partial spherical outer surface, and a pattern of space channel being formed between neighboring slider plates, seven movable cubic block pieces and a partial spherical depression formed at a corner of each one of movable block pieces, said depression of said block pieces forming a spherical hollow within said cube, and said spherical hollow having a diameter larger than the diameter of said core, a triangular retainer plate mounted at a center portion of said partial spherical depression of said each one of movable block piece, said retainer plate having a curvature equal to said spherical depression and being maintained spaced by a partial spherical space from said depression by a stand-off post located at a rear surface of said retainer plate, said seven movable cubic block pieces being slidably mounted to said core with said slider plate therein slidably engaged with said partial spherical space, an eighth cubic block piece fixedly mounted to said spherical core at a remaining position after said seven movable cubic block pieces having been mounted to said core, and said eighth cubic block piece being movable together with said core relative to said movable block pieces.
2. An octave cube according to Claim 1 including a mounting plate having a clover leaf pattern mounted at a center portion of a spherical depression of said eighth cubic block piece, said three-leaf pattern being engageable with a clover leaf space pattern of said space channel of said core exposed in said remaining position for mounting said eighth cubic block piece to said core with a snap action.
3. An octave cube according to Claim 2 wherein said mounting plate and said spherical core have an equal curvature and said clover leaf pattern is equal in shape and dimensions to said clover leaf space pattern of said space channel of said core exposed in said remaining position of said cube.
4. An octave cube according to Claim 3 wherein said slider plates have a thickness equal to said partial spherical space between said retainer plate and said depression of said movable cubic block pieces.
5. An octave cube according to Claim 4 including a design pattern provided on outer surfaces of said seven movable cubic block pieces and said eighth cubic block piece.
