Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Geduldsspiel aus ringförmigen Drahtelementen, die ineinandergefügt und voneinander getrennt werden können.The invention relates to a puzzle of ring-shaped wire elements that can be inserted and separated from each other.

Bekannt sind Geduldsspiele aus z.B. zwei Ringen, die nur bei Auffinden einer richtigen gegenseitigen Stellung voneinander getrennt bzw. wieder ineinandergefügt werden können. Das Auffinden dieser richtigen Stellung bzw. des richtigen Bewegungsablaufes nimmt zwar geraume Zeit und Geschicklichkeit in Anspruch. Ist die Lösung erst einmal gefunden, so geht das Ineinanderfügen bzw. Trennen mit einem einzigen raschen Hand-Glawe, Delfs, Moll & Partner - p 10775/83 EU - Seite 2 griff vonstatten, so daß das Spiel dann keinen weiteren Spielreiz mehr bietet.Patience games are known from, for example, two rings, which can only be separated from one another or put back into one another once a correct mutual position has been found. Finding this correct position or the correct sequence of movements takes time and skill. Once the solution has been found, the joining or separating is done with a single quick Glawe, Delfs, Moll & Partner - p 10775/83 EU - Page 2 took place so that the game no longer offered any further appeal.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Spiel der genannten Art als Geduldsspiel auszubilden, bei dem sowohl das Auffinden des Lösungsweges als auch bei bekanntem Lösungsweg die Durchführung der richtigen Bewegungsabfolge eine gewisse Zeit, Aufmerksamkeit und Geduld erfordert.The invention has for its object to develop a game of the type mentioned as a game of patience, in which both finding the solution and, if the solution is known, performing the correct sequence of movements requires a certain amount of time, attention and patience.

Das erfindungsgemäße Geduldsspiel besteht aus einer an beiden Enden geschlossenen Doppelnadel und einer Kette mit einer kleinen Anzahl Kettengliedern, wobei jedes Kettenglied aus einem eingeschnürten und C-förmig gebogenen Ring derart geformt ist, daß es zwei übereinanderliegende Maschen bildet, die auf einer Seite durch die Einschnürung verbunden sind und auf der anderen Seite durch einen Spalt von mehr als Drahtdicke getrennt sind, und wobei jeweils die Maschen eines Kettengliedes die Einschnürung des anschließenden Kettengliedes umfassen und wobei die Doppelnadel die Einschnürung mindestens eines Kettengliedes umschließt und ihre Schenkel von einer der Maschen dieses Kettengliedes umgriffen und verschiebbar geführt sind.The game of patience according to the invention consists of a double needle closed at both ends and a chain with a small number of chain links, each chain link being formed from a constricted and C-shaped ring such that it forms two superposed stitches which are constricted on one side by the constriction are connected and on the other side are separated by a gap of more than wire thickness, and in each case the meshes of a chain link comprise the constriction of the subsequent chain link and the double needle encloses the constriction of at least one chain link and its legs are encompassed by one of the meshes of this chain link and are slidably guided.

Glawe, Delfs, Moll & Partner - p 10775/83 EU - Seite 3Glawe, Delfs, Moll & Partner - p 10775/83 EU - page 3

Die Spielmöglichkeit besteht darin, daß jedes Kettenglied in die Doppelnadel eingehängt werden kann, in dem diese mit einem ihrer Schenkel durch den Spalt zwischen den beiden Maschen des Kettengliedes hindurchgeführt wird und dann dessen Einschnürung umschließt. Auf umgekehrtem Wege ist das Kettenglied wieder aushängbar.' Dieses Ein- und Aushängen ist aber nur für das vorderste Glied der Kette jederzeit möglich. Für jedes andere Kettenglied ist das Ein- oder Aushängen nur dann möglich, wenn das jeweils vorausgehende Kettenglied in die Doppelnadel eingehängt, jedes noch weiter vorne liegende Kettenglied aber ausgehängt ist. Für das Ein- oder Aushängen eines bestimmten, z.B. des letzten Kettengliedes ist es daher nötig, durch eine bestimmte Reihenfolge von Ein-und Aushängevorgängen das dem betreffenden Kettenglied vorangehende Kettenglied in die eingehängte Stellung und alle vor diesem liegenden Kettenglieder in die ausgehängte Stellung zu bringen. Durch systematisches Durchlaufen der verschiedenen möglichen Stellungen können z.B. sämtliche Kettenglieder in die Doppelnadel eingehängt oder aber die Kette vollständig von der Doppelnadel gelöst werden.The play possibility is that each chain link can be hooked into the double needle by passing it with one of its legs through the gap between the two stitches of the chain link and then enclosing its constriction. The chain link can be removed again in the opposite way. ' This hooking in and out is only possible for the front link of the chain at any time. For any other chain link, hooking in or out is only possible if the preceding chain link is hooked into the double needle, but every chain link still further forward is unhooked. For attaching or detaching a specific, e.g. of the last chain link, it is therefore necessary to bring the chain link preceding the chain link in question into the suspended position and all chain links lying in front of it into the unhooked position by a certain sequence of hooking and unhooking operations. By systematically running through the various possible positions, e.g. all chain links are hooked into the double needle or the chain can be completely detached from the double needle.

Glawe, Delfs, Moll & Partner - p 10775/83 EU - Seite 4Glawe, Delfs, Moll & Partner - p 10775/83 EU - page 4

Die Zahl der insgesamt zu durchlaufenden verschiedenen Stellungen steigt exponentiell mit der Zahl der Kettenglieder an. Diese beträgt vorzugsweise vier bis acht Kettenglieder.The number of different positions to be covered increases exponentially with the number of chain links. This is preferably four to eight chain links.

Die Kettenglieder können vorzugsweise so gestaltet sein, daß sie sich nach Lösen der Kette von der Doppelnadel voneinander trennen lassen. Um zu verhindern, daß dies auch möglich ist, wenn die Kette in die Doppelnadel eingehängt ist, ist vorzugsweise das vorderste Kettenglied größer als die übrigen Kettenglieder ausgebildet.The chain links can preferably be designed so that they can be separated from each other by the double needle after loosening the chain. In order to prevent this from also being possible when the chain is suspended in the double needle, the foremost chain link is preferably made larger than the other chain links.

Gemäß Fig. 1 besteht das Geduldsspiel aus einer Kette 1 und einer Doppelnadel 2. Die Kette wird ihrerseits von einer Anzahl Kettengliedern 3 gebildet, von denen eines in Fig. 2 vergrößert dargestellt ist. Das Kettenglied ist von einem Ring gebildet, der eingeschnürt und dann senkrecht zu seiner Ebene C-förmig gebogen ist, so daß er zwei übereinanderliegende Maschen 4, 5 bildet, die auf einer Seite durch die Einschnürung 6 miteinander verbunden sind und auf der anderen Seite zwischen sich einen Spalt 7 bilden. Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, umfaßt dieses Kettenglied mit seinen Maschen 4, 5 die Einschnürung 6 des jeweils vorangehenden Kettengliedes. Die Einschnürung des letzten Kettengliedes 3' wird von der Doppelnadel 2 umschlossen. Das vorderste Kettenglied 3'' ist größer als die übrigen Kettenglieder ausgebildet.1, the game of patience consists of a chain 1 and a double needle 2. The chain in turn is formed by a number of chain links 3, one of which is shown enlarged in FIG. 2. The chain link is formed by a ring which is constricted and then bent in a C-shape perpendicular to its plane, so that it forms two superposed meshes 4, 5 which are connected to one another by the constriction 6 and on the other side between form a gap 7. As can be seen from Fig. 1, this chain link with its meshes 4, 5 comprises the constriction 6 of the preceding chain link. The constriction of the last chain link 3 'is enclosed by the double needle 2. The foremost chain link 3 ″ is larger than the other chain links.

Gemäß Fig. 3 bis 5 wird ein Kettenglied 3 in die Doppelnadel 2 in der Weise eingehängt, daß die Doppelnadel von oben und von der Seite her über die eine seitliche Ausbuchtung der oberen Masche 4 geführt und ihr Glawe, Delfs, Moll & Partner - p 10775/83 EU - Seite 63 to 5, a chain link 3 is hooked into the double needle 2 in such a way that the double needle is guided from above and from the side via a lateral bulge of the upper stitch 4 and her Glawe, Delfs, Moll & Partner - p 10775/83 EU - page 6

einer Schenkel durch den Spalt 7 zwischen den Maschen hindurchgeführt wird. Man erhält die Stellung gemäß Fig. 4, in der die Doppelnadel die Einschnürung 6 des Kettengliedes 3 umfaßt. Aus dieser Stellung kann die Doppelnadel 2 nach vorne durch die obere Masche,4 hindurchgeführt werden, so daß ihre beiden Schenkel von der Masche 4 seitlich umgriffen und verschiebbar geführt werden (Fig. 5). Diese Stellung gemäß Fig. 5 wird als die eingehängte Stellung des Kettengliedes 3 bezeichnet.one leg is passed through the gap 7 between the stitches. The position shown in FIG. 4 is obtained, in which the double needle comprises the constriction 6 of the chain link 3. From this position, the double needle 2 can be passed forward through the upper stitch, 4, so that its two legs are laterally gripped by the stitch 4 and guided displaceably (FIG. 5). 5 is referred to as the suspended position of the chain link 3.

Gemäß Fig. 6 und 7 kann ein Kettenglied 3 relativ zur Doppelnadel 3 die eingehängte Stellung (Fig. 6) oder die ausgehängte Stellung (Fig. 7) einnehmen, und zwar unabhängig davon, ob die jeweils benachbarten Kettenglieder in der eingehängten Stellung (Fig. 6 und 7) oder in der ausgehängten Stellung sind. Der Übergang von der Stellung nach Fig. 6 und 7 ist aber nur dann möglich, wenn das dem betreffenden Kettenglied 3 vorangehende Kettenglied 3a in der eingehängten Stellung ist und zwar bei völlig zurückgezogener Stellung der Doppelnadel gemäß Fig. 4, und wenn außerdem eventuell noch weiter vorne liegende Kettenglieder in der ausgehängten Stellung sind.6 and 7, a chain link 3 can assume the hooked-in position (FIG. 6) or the hooked-out position (FIG. 7) relative to the double needle 3, regardless of whether the adjacent chain links in the hooked-in position (FIG. 6 and 7) or in the unhooked position. The transition from the position according to FIGS. 6 and 7 is only possible if the chain link 3a preceding the chain link 3 in question is in the suspended position, specifically when the double needle according to FIG. 4 is completely retracted, and if further also possibly chain links in the front are in the unhooked position.

Glawe, Delfs, Moll & Partner - p 10775/83 EU - Seite 7Glawe, Delfs, Moll & Partner - p 10775/83 EU - page 7

Ausgehend von der Stellung nach Fig. 1 muß zur Lösung des Geduldsspiels die Doppelnadel 2 zuerst durch die obere Masche des letzten Kettengliedes 3' hindurchgesteckt werden (Stellung nach Fig. 5) und dann nach vorne bis zum vordersten Kettenglied 3" durchgeschoben werden. Man bringt dann das vorderste' Kettenglied 3" durch die in Fig. 3, 4 und 5 dargestellte Bewegungsfolge in den eingehängten Zustand und kann dann dasselbe unter Zurückziehen der Nadel mit dem zweiten Kettenglied 3 tun. Um auch das dritte Kettenglied einhängen zu können, muß zuvor das erste Kettenglied in den ausgehängten Zustand gebracht werden. Auf diese Weise kann man schrittweise vorgehen, um schließlich in eine Stellung zu gelangen, in der sämtliche Kettenglieder in der eingehängten Stellung sich befinden. Danach kann man, wieder vom vordersten Kettenglied 3" anfangen, die Kettenglieder in den ausgehängten Zustand zu bringen, bis schließlich nur noch das vorletzte Kettenglied sich in der eingehängten Stellung befindet. Dann kann das letzte Kettenglied 3' ausgehängt werden, und schließlich kann, wieder von vorne beginnend, durch Ein- und Aushängen der übrigen Kettenglieder die Kette 1 völlig von der Doppelnadel 2 getrennt werden. Anschließend kann die Kette, beginnend mit dem letzten Kettenglied 3', in ihre einzelnen Kettenglieder zerlegt werden.Starting from the position shown in Fig. 1, the double needle 2 must first be inserted through the upper stitch of the last chain link 3 '(position shown in Fig. 5) and then pushed forward to the front chain link 3 "to solve the puzzle then the foremost 'chain link 3' through the sequence of movements shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 into the hooked-in state and can then do the same with the withdrawal of the needle with the second chain link 3. In order to be able to hang in the third chain link, the first chain link must first be brought into the unhooked state. In this way one can proceed step by step in order finally to reach a position in which all chain links are in the suspended position. Then one can start again from the foremost chain link 3 "to bring the chain links into the unhooked state until finally only the penultimate chain link is in the suspended position. Then the last chain link 3 'can be unhooked and finally, again Starting from the beginning, the chain 1 can be completely separated from the double needle 2 by hooking and unhooking the other chain links 2. The chain can then be broken down into its individual chain links, starting with the last chain link 3 '.

In der Größen-, Material- und farbmäßigen Gestaltung des Geduldsspiels besteht weitgehende Freiheit. Das Geduldsspiel kann auch, evtl. unter Verringerung der Zahl der Kettenglieder, so ausgestaltet sein, daß es gleichzeitig als Schlüsselanhänger, Gürtel- oder Kleiderschnalle oder Brosche dient, wobei man in diesem Fall auf die Wahl von besonders wertvollem und/oder dekorativem Material achten wird. Auch kann durch verschiedenfarbige Gestaltung von Doppelnadel und Kette bzw. der einzelnen Kettenglieder sowohl der Spielreiz als auch die dekorative Wirkung erhöht werden.There is extensive freedom in the size, material and color design of the puzzle. The game of patience can also be designed, possibly by reducing the number of chain links, so that it also serves as a key ring, belt or clothes buckle or brooch, in which case care will be taken to select particularly valuable and / or decorative material . Also, the play appeal as well as the decorative effect can be increased by the different colored design of the double needle and chain or the individual chain links.
