Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein aus sich beliebig in ihrer Anzahl überschneidenden Kreisen bestehendes Puzzle, wobei wiederkehrende und symmetrisch angeordnete periphere Elemente eines jeden Teilkreises in der Ebene transportierbar sind.
Der Spielwitz besteht darin, einfache oder auch komplizierte grafisch-farbige Muster, d. h. Ornamente, die auch gleichzeitig Darstellungen von bekannter Art sein können, nachzugestalteten.The invention relates to a puzzle consisting of any number of overlapping circles, with recurring and symmetrically arranged peripheral elements of each pitch circle being transportable in the plane.
The trick is to recreate simple or complicated graphic-colored patterns, ie ornaments, which can also be representations of a known type at the same time.

Ein in der Regel durchsichtiges Gehäuse (4) mit den kreisrunden Ausnehmungen (5) enthält mehrere drehbaren Zentren, die aus jeweils dem drehbaren, konkavflächigen Stern (2) und den elliptischen Scheiben (1) zusammengestellt sind. Die Drehung der drehbaren, konkavflächigen Sterne (2) kann auch über seitliche Schlitze am Rand des Gehäuses (4) erfolgen, indem die hierdurch berührbaren elliptischen Scheiben (1) verschoben werden.
Durch die damit verbundene Drehung der drehbaren konkavflächigen Sterne (2) werden die elliptischen Scheiben (1), die auch mit benachbarten Zentren im Eingriff stehen, über die gesamte Spielebene transportiert.

Figure 00000001
A generally transparent housing (4) with the circular recesses (5) contains a plurality of rotatable centers which are each composed of the rotatable, concave star (2) and the elliptical discs (1). The rotatable, concave-shaped stars (2) can also be rotated via lateral slots on the edge of the housing (4) by displacing the elliptical disks (1) that can be touched thereby.
As a result of the rotation of the rotatable concave-shaped stars (2), the elliptical discs (1), which are also in engagement with neighboring centers, are transported over the entire playing level.
