Abstract

The solitaire game comprises a hollow polyhedron (100) held together by magnets. The three-dimensional hollow body has equal size polygons with equal length edges whereby the magnets on the edges attract or repel the polygons opposite each other according to the polarity. Different polarities at the edges produce different polygons which are assembled by trial and error into the hollow body. To increase the difficulty a number of polygons can be hinged together at their edges. USE - As a game of skill to assemble and reassemble the polyhedron.

Description

Gattunggenus

Die Erfindung betrifft ein magnetisches Geduldsspiel nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a magnetic puzzle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Das bekannte Geduldsspiel ist der sogenannte Zauberwürfel, auch Rubik-Würfel genannt, dessen Elemente auf mechanische Art miteinander verbunden sind. Dieses gilt auch für andere Patente, in denen ein Dodekaeder beschrieben wird mit ebenfalls mechanisch verbundenen Elementen. Ein Würfel, bestehend aus mehreren kleinen Würfeln, die durch Magnete zusammengehalten werden ist in einem Gebrauchsmuster beschrieben.The well-known puzzle is the so-called Rubik's Cube, also called Rubik's Cube Mechanically connected elements are. This also applies to other patents in which a dodecahedron is also described mechanically connected elements. A cube, consisting of several small cubes that pass through Magnets are held together in one Utility model described.

Aufgabe:Task:

Aufgabe des Geduldsspiels ist es, die scheibenförmigen Elemente in der richtige Anordnung zusammenzusetzen. Hierbei ist durch Probieren festzustellen, ob die Kanten der Elemente sich aufgrund der magnetischen Polung gegenseitig abstoßen oder anziehen. Bei richtiger Anordnung der Elemente ziehen die Magneten an allen Kanten sich gegenseitig an und bilden so einen stabilen Hohlkörper.It is the task of the puzzle game that disc-shaped elements in the correct arrangement put together. Here is by trying determine if the edges of the elements are up repel each other due to the magnetic polarity or put on. With the correct arrangement of the elements the magnets pull each other on all edges and thus form a stable hollow body.

Kritikcriticism

Dieses Geduldsspiel besteht im Gegensatz zum Bestehendem aus einem Hohlkörper und nicht aus einem Vollkörper. Die Elemente des Hohlkörpers sind scheibenförmige Elemente, die zu dem Hohlkörper zusammengesetzt werden. Diese Scheibenförmigen Elemente werden an den Kanten durch Magnete zusammengehalten. Aufgrund der einfachen Form sind diese Elemente leicht herzustellen.This puzzle is in contrast to Consisting of a hollow body and not one Full body. The elements of the hollow body are  disc-shaped elements leading to the hollow body be put together. These disc-shaped Elements are attached to the edges by magnets held together. Because of the simple shape these elements are easy to manufacture.

Lösung:Solution:

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Kanten der scheibenförmigen Elemente mit Magneten versehen werden. Durch unterschiedliche Anordnung der Magnete bezüglich der Polung ergeben sich unterschiedliche Elemente. The object is achieved in that with the edges of the disc-shaped elements Magnets are provided. By different Arrangement of the magnets with respect to the polarity different elements.

Fig. 3 zeigt perspektivisch ein erfindungsgemäßes Geduldsspiel in Form eines regelmäßigen Ikosaeders in zusammengesetztem Zustand. Fig. 3 shows in perspective an inventive puzzle in the form of a regular icosahedron in the assembled state.

Fig. 4 zeigt alle Elemente des Ikosaeders mit den Polungen der Magneten in richtiger Anordnung aufgeklappt in einer Ebene. Fig. 4 shows all elements of the icosahedron with the polarities of the magnets opened in the correct arrangement in one plane.

Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Geduldsspiel hat die Form eines regulären Dodekaeders. Dieser Hohlkörper besteht aus zwölf scheibenförmigen Elementen, die die Form eines regelmäßigen Fünfecks haben. Die Kanten sind im Winkel von arcsin (sin30/sin36) ca. 58 Grad abgeschrägt. Wie Fig. 1.1 zeigt, sind in den Kanten entsprechend der Dicke der Elemente Magnete eingelassen. Durch die Polung der Magnete erhält man acht verschiedene Elemente mit folgenden Polungskombinationen:The puzzle shown in Fig. 1 has the shape of a regular dodecahedron. This hollow body consists of twelve disc-shaped elements that have the shape of a regular pentagon. The edges are chamfered at an angle of arcsin (sin30 / sin36) approx. 58 degrees. As shown in Fig. 1.1, magnets are embedded in the edges according to the thickness of the elements. The polarity of the magnets results in eight different elements with the following polarity combinations:

1. N N N N N
2. N N N N S
3. N N N S S
4. N N S S S
5. N S S S S
6. S S S S S
7. S N S N N
8. N S N S S
1.NNNNN
2. NNNNS
3. NNNSS
4. NNSSS
5. NSSSS
6. SSSSS
7. SNSNN
8. NSNSS

Um zwölf Elemente zu erhalten, werden die Kombinationen Nr. 3, 4, 7 und 8 zweifach ausgeführt. Fig. 2 zeigt das Geduldsspiel aufgeklappt in einer Ebene, wobei die richtige Anordnung der Elemente erhalten bleibt. Die Elemente sind von 1 bis 12 durchnumeriert und mit den Polbezeichnungen N für Nord und S für Süd versehen. Die durch das Aufklappen weitentfernten Kanten sind mit den Buchstaben A bis I bezeichnet.In order to obtain twelve elements, combinations No. 3, 4, 7 and 8 are carried out twice. Fig. 2 shows the game of patience unfolded in one plane, the correct arrangement of the elements being retained. The elements are numbered from 1 to 12 and provided with the pole designations N for north and S for south. The edges that are distant due to the opening are marked with the letters A to I.

Fig. 3 zeigt erfindungsgemäß ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Geduldsspiels in Form eines regulären Ikosaeders in zusammengesetzter Form. Dieses Geduldsspiel besteht aus zwanzig gleichgroßen Dreieckelementen, an deren Kanten Magnete eingelassen sind. Durch die Polung der Magnete ergeben sich vier verschiedene Elemente. Diese Elemente sind in Fig. 4 mit den Buchstaben A, B, C und D bezeichnet. Um mehr verschiedene Elemente zu erhalten, werden jeweils zwei Elemente an einer Kante scharnierartig, dargestellt durch gepunktete Linien, miteinander verbunden. So enstehen sieben Zwillingselemente mit vier Kanten und unterschiedlicher Polungsanordnung. Diese Zwillingselemente sind in Fig. 4 mit den Buchstaben a, b, c, d, e, f und g bezeichnet. Fig. 3 shows the invention according to an embodiment of the game of patience in the form of a regular icosahedron in assembled form. This puzzle consists of twenty triangular elements of the same size, on the edges of which magnets are embedded. The polarity of the magnets results in four different elements. These elements are designated by the letters A , B , C and D in FIG. 4. In order to obtain more different elements, two elements are hinged together at one edge, represented by dotted lines. This creates seven twin elements with four edges and different polarity arrangements. These twin elements are designated in Fig. 4 with the letters a , b , c , d , e , f and g .
