Preferred embodiment describes in detail
Fig. 1 to Figure 14 with reference to whole has illustrated a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and whole label is 20.The exact method of this preferred embodiment structure and operation will be described in the paragraph of back comprehensively.Yet,, will the primary clustering and the overall operation method of this preferred embodiment be described at first for can be clearer.
About this respect, as illustrated best among Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, spherical logic puzzle of the present invention is made up of 12 leap parts 24, arranges that these leap parts are so that six subordinate point Y that limit a central point X and evenly separate on circumference.Subordinate point Y limit jointly three mutually vertical and intersect at the axis A of central point X, each described subordinate point Y all with described axis A in corresponding one crossing.
As shown in Figure 1, under the mode of operation of described leap part, corresponding four are stretched on each the subordinate point Y that adjoins mutually with it on the circumference from each subordinate point Y respectively in the described leap part 24.
The present invention also comprises whirligig, and whole label is 50, and describes in the paragraph below comprehensively.When described leap part 24 is under the mode of operation, by manual operation, from described 12 leap parts 24, select one group four adjacent leap parts 24, this group is crossed over the subordinate point stretching, extension that part is selected from described subordinate point, and be axis, thereby can realize optionally corresponding rotation with the respective axis A that intersects with the subordinate point of selecting described in the subordinate point.Thisly be rotated in best image among Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, Fig. 1 shows that crossing over part 24 is under the mode of operation, and Fig. 2 shows one group four the adjacent leap parts of selecting 24, and topmost four of promptly described leap parts 24 are crossed over part rotation around vertical axis A with respect to other.
It is apparent that to one skilled in the art, with crossing over that part 24 and whirligig 50 combine is practical, and such combination can make crosses over the relative motion each other of part part and reach alignment effect desired in the group method previously discussed.Yet, will do more fully the embodiment of the invention below and discuss, allow those skilled in the art clearly see other advantage of the present invention and characteristics.
