Definitions

  • the invention relates to spatial, i.e. three-dimensional puzzle games.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a spatial puzzle game that is used for entertainment on the one hand and on the other hand stimulates logical thinking and the ability to combine.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a spatial puzzle game in which the puzzle is many times more difficult to solve than in other previously known games of this type.
  • the objects are achieved by means of a spatial puzzle game which presents itself as a regular, crystalline body.
  • this crystal body is divided into five disks or layers, which are movable individually or together with respect to a fulcrum located in the center of the body on planes that coincide with the cut surfaces of the layers.
  • the above division further divides the crystal body into eighty-one different building blocks, of which sixty-two form the surface of the body with their rectangular, triangular and square outer surfaces.
  • the surfaces of the two outer layers are each represented by a square, four right and four equilateral triangles, the surfaces of the layers adjacent to them by four * ) and twelve equilateral triangles, and the middle layer by four squares and limited to eight rectangles.
  • Each layer of the body has different colors, patterns, pictures or ornaments.
  • the central pivot point could be formed by a metal ball, comparable on the surface of those said two sixty blocks and another twelve *) rectangles covered modules would be attached by means of magnetic elements inserted in the same.
  • the six building blocks with the square outer surface could alternatively also be fastened rotatably on the ball surface by means of bolts.
  • Another and preferable embodiment of the invention is based on a spatial cross piece located in the center of the crystal body as a fulcrum or a six-armed central cross formed from thirteen building blocks as a fixed framework into which the other building blocks are inserted by means of cams or pins.
  • the task of the puzzle is to arrange the squares, rectangles and triangles on the crystal body from a mixed state to an orderly state in which all surfaces of the same color, same pattern or same ornament sit next to each other.
  • the course of the game is characterized in that any layers are offset by a quarter, two-quarter or three-quarter turn (the latter corresponds to a quarter turn in the opposite direction) with respect to other layers, as a result of the square, rectangular and triangular areas in random patterns or arrangements of colors , Patterns or ornaments can be distributed over the surface of the crystal body. Once such a random pattern is created, the player tries to bring the mixed areas back to their starting position, i.e. to regain the original state of the crystal body.
  • Fig. 1 to Fig. 6 shows an embodiment of the spatial puzzle game according to the invention, in which around a metal ball 1 acting as a fulcrum, sixty-two building blocks 2, 3, 4 and 5, with their square, rectangular and triangular outer surfaces, the surface of the crystal body form, and twelve hidden building blocks 6 are arranged and fastened by means of embedded magnetic elements (not shown).
  • the magnetic member may be omitted when the block 6] since this portion is kept up by the other modules.
  • FIG. 2 shows a view of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6, which illustrates the division into five disks or layers for two dimensions.
  • Each building block 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (hidden) belongs to three mutually perpendicular layers.
  • the five block types shows the embodiment of F ig. 1 to Fig. 6.
  • the surface of the crystal body or the "spherical cladding" six pieces of module 2, twenty-four pieces of building blocks 3 and 4, eight pieces of building block 5 and twelve pieces of building block 6 are required.
  • FIGS. 1 to 6 is an isometric diagram of the inner sphere 1 and a part of the “building block shell” surrounding it according to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6 with the markings abcdef and ghi of the mutually perpendicular rotation planes or the markings jk-1, mno and pqr of the cut surfaces of the layered division.
  • the rotation planes and the cut surfaces of the division are geometrically identical.
  • FIG. 1 Another embodiment of the spatial puzzle game according to the invention is illustrated in FIG.
  • a metal ball 7 as a central fulcrum there are six building blocks, each consisting of a box 8 with a spherical one. (or flat) bottom and attached cover 9, each rotatably fastened by means of a screw 10 and a spring 11 and surrounded by the same number of components 3, 4, 5 and 6 as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6.
  • the building blocks 3 shown in partial section contain the magnetic elements 12 with which they are held on the spherical surface.
  • Fig. 8 shows a view and a top view of a head part of the six-armed central cross. It consists of a cuboid part 13 with a cylindrical extension and an attached cover 14, the outer surface of which forms one of the six square surfaces of the crystal body. Part 13 is drilled at the intersection of its axes of symmetry and provided with a recess that it the head of a screw 17, a washer 18, a spring 19 and the upper part of a diameter can accommodate the former smaller spring 2o.
  • Fig. 9 shows a view and a plan view of an intermediate part 15 of the six-armed center cross. It has a mushroom-shaped body which has a bore for the passage of the shaft of the screw 17 and a recess for receiving the lower part of the spring 20.
  • Fig. Lo shows the top view / view of the cross piece 16 of the six-armed center cross. It is provided with an internal thread in each of its arms for receiving the screw 17.
  • FIG. 11 The arrangement of the aforementioned parts 13 to 20 to form an arm of the center cross is illustrated in FIG. 11.
  • the assembly and function of the arm can also be seen from this assembly picture: it serves as a holder for the building blocks 25 and 28 (FIGS. 12 and 14 ), which are clamped in the free spaces 21 and 22.
  • the flanges 23 and 24 of the parts 15 and 13 act as the clamping surface and transmit the restoring forces of the prestressed spring 20 and 19.
  • 12 to 15 show the four building block types 25, 27, 28 and 3o on the basis of the parallel projection of three views (three-table projection).
  • the crystal body requires twelve pieces of the block 25, eight pieces of the block 27 and twenty four pieces of the blocks 28 and 30.
  • FIGS. 16 to 23 represent an assembly sequence, i.e. show the insertion of the blocks 25, 27, 28 and 3o in the center cross serving as a holding device.
  • This next layer is produced by first inserting the building blocks 28 and 30 located on the outside into the channel 32 and then adding a "package" consisting of four building blocks 25 and 27 each. At the end, an intermediate piece 15 of the fifth arm of the central cross, which is also built up, is loosely inserted (FIGS. 18 to 2o).
  • the structure of the last or outer layer of the crystal body begins with the insertion of four building blocks 28 and 3o into the groove 33. This can be done in a single sequence or in the form of a "package" previously put together. Then, the fifth arm of the middle cross by inserting the head portion 13, the springs 19 and 2 0, the washer 18 and the screw 17 is added. It follows Put on cover 14, which can be removed for the disassembly of the puzzle game (FIGS. 21 and 22).
  • the first "build-up phase" of the crystal body is now complete.
  • the partial body produced so far is now placed on the outer surface of the cover 14 (FIG. 23).
  • the assembly according to FIGS. 18 to 22 is repeated, after which the crystal body is completely assembled.
  • variant A a pyramid with a congruent base surface is placed on each of the six square surfaces of the crystal body according to FIGS. 8 to 23, the side surfaces of which are created as intersections of the extensions of four rectangular surfaces located on an outer layer over their short sides. These pyramids can be fixed movably or immovably on the square surfaces.
  • a hipped roof prism with a congruent base surface is placed on each of the twenty-four rectangular surfaces of the crystal body according to FIGS adjoining triangular surfaces over this common side with the planes of rotation, which touches the rectangular surface with its short sides.
  • These 'hipped roof prisms are not movable.
  • attachments are fastened on all thirty-two triangular and twenty-four rectangular surfaces of the crystal body according to FIGS. 8 to 23, which are bounded by surfaces which are intersected by the extensions of all six square bottles extending over their sides with all levels of rotation of the body arise. These essays are not movable.
  • Variant E occurs when the four corner cubes of the outer layers are cut on the body according to variant D so that the cut lines are identical to the diagonals of their visible side surfaces.
  • Variant F arises when the body of variant D is reduced to the largest inscribed sphere.
  • Variant G is a body according to variant F with cones placed on the spherical partial surfaces.
  • Variant H is a spatial puzzle game for the blind, which was created by marking it with different features (shown for two layers) on a crystal body according to FIGS. 8 to 23.
