DE3119875A1 - Cube with through bores, and rods which fit into and are intended for insertion into the latter - Google Patents

Abstract

Toy for one person. It is composed of a cube which is provided with through bores which extend from four sides (not from the top and bottom), are arranged in a plurality of "storeys" and intersect one another at right angles in each storey. These include rods (one rod per bore) which can be inserted into the bores. The rods can have different colours (one quarter each of the same colour) and a "head" which prevents complete insertion of the rods into the bores of the cube. The inventor has, by way of a solution, provided drawings in which the cube is broken down into individual horizontal projections ("storeys"), for which projections a combination of rods is determined in each case. Once all the storeys have been processed, the lengths of all the rods are ascertained in their respective colours. The player must slide the rods into the bores of the cube in such a way that all the rods are inserted in the cube up to their heads and that only rods of the same colour are arranged on each side. One possible solution is the combination shown in the inventor's drawing. It would also be conceivable to exchange storeys or individual rods. <IMAGE>

Description

DESCRIPTION

Title: Cube with continuous holes and matching chopsticks for Put it in.

Field of application: The invention relates to a toy for one person.

It consists of a cube that can be seen from four sides (with the exception of from top and bottom) is provided with continuous holes in several "Floors" are arranged and intersect at right angles on each floor.

This includes chopsticks (one stick per hole) that go into the holes can be pushed in. The chopsticks have different fixed lengths, have four different colors (each a quarter of the same color) and one "Head", which means the complete insertion of the chopsticks into the holes in the cube prevented.

Purpose: It is a game1 of patience, logical thinking and combining skills requires: the player must try to keep all the stick up to the head into the holes of the cube, whereby on each side of the Only sticks of one color may be arranged in the dice.

State of the art: It is known that the company "naf toys" A patent application has been filed for the game "MANAGON", # 9620 (it is a Company from Switzerland).

"MANAGON" is a game for two people.

Each player has to try to get sticks from one side of the dice if possible push it far into the cube.

Criticism of the state of the art: Technology: - with "MANAGON" two People play.

- the bars all have only one color.

- the bars only have two different lengths.

- The bars do not have a "head", so they can be pushed through the cube will.

- the sticks are only inserted into the cube from two sides.

- It is not the point of the game to fully insert all the sticks.

Task: The invention is based on the task of providing the player with the complete insertion of all chopsticks into the holes of the cube -up to Head and in the right color as difficult as possible.

Therefore the length of the individual chopsticks is in the respective colors determined so that the holes have as few free spaces as possible.

Solution: This object is achieved according to the invention in that the Cube is graphically broken down by the inventor into individual floor plans ("floors"), for each of which a combination of the sticks is determined. After processing all On the floors, the lengths of all rods are fixed in their respective color.

The player has to push the chopsticks into the holes of the cube in such a way that that all the chopsticks are up to the head in the cube and only the chopsticks on each side are arranged in one color.

One possible solution is that of the inventor by drawing determined combination.

It is also conceivable to swap the days or individual bars.

Secondary claim: cube according to claim 1, but from six sides provided with through holes that cross each other. The associated Headed chopsticks have different lengths, four, five or six different ones Colors and are accordingly from four, five or six sides into the holes of the cube pushed in.

The solution is that the inventor draws the cube is broken down into individual floor plans ("floors", for each of which a combination the chopsticks is determined.

After processing all levels, the lengths of all rods are in their respective color. The player must insert the chopsticks into the holes of the Slide in the cube so that all the chopsticks are up to the head in the cube and open only the sticks of one color are arranged on each side.

One possible solution is that determined by drawing by the inventor Combination.

Interchanging individual rods is also conceivable.

Subclaim: cube according to claim 1 or ancillary claim, however made of transparent material (e.g. plexiglass, acrylic glass, cast resin, plastic). Of the The advantage is that the player has all the chopsticks inside during the game of the cube can watch.

Achievable Benefits: The game offers a player the opportunity to deal with a three-dimensional problem over a longer period of time, where other possible combinations can be played out over and over again.

Description of an exemplary embodiment: An exemplary embodiment of the Invention is shown in the drawing.

A cube was chosen that contains six floors and has four sides (with the exception of the top and bottom) is pierced.

There are 6 x 6 = 36 holes in each of these 4 sides of the cube (6 holes per floor and side), each with 36 sticks of the same color Head can be assigned.

So a total of 4 x 36 = 144 treble crochets are required.

For each of the 6 floors are drawn with the help of a floor plan Set 6 treble crochets on each of the 4 sides. It is important that the Assignment of colors (designated from color A to color D) is retained.

FIG. 1 shows one floor of the cube in plan. The cube is still empty, so no chopsticks have been inserted yet.

Due to the 6 existing holes on each side, there are 6 length types the chopsticks possible. They are also shown.

A sketch shows the 6 floors of the cube, the decisive ones in the Figures 2-7 is hatched.

FIG. 2 shows floor 1 of the cube in plan.

The chopsticks are in their respective length up to the head in the holes inserted. The sticks of color A are on top, those of color B are on the right, those of Color C is below and that of color D is on the left.

Floor 1 is hatched in the sketch.

FIG. 3 shows floor 2 of the cube in plan.

Explanations otherwise analogous to FIG. 2.

FIG. 4 shows floor 3 of the cube in plan.

Explanations otherwise analogous to FIG. 2.

FIG. 5 shows floor 4 of the cube in plan.

Explanations otherwise analogous to FIG. 2.

FIG. 6 shows floor 5 of the cube in plan.

Explanations otherwise analogous to FIG. 2.

FIG. 7 shows floor 6 of the cube in plan.

Explanations otherwise analogous to FIG. 2.

FIG. 8 shows a compilation of the in this example with the help of the 6 floor plans of the floors determined sticks, the sticks according to color and lanyard type. E.g. 9 treble crochets color A, length type 3 are required or 6 treble crochets color C, length type 4.

So each of the 4 colors are 36 sticks of different lengths so that there are a total of 4 x 36 = 144 double crochets.
