Abstract

Magnetic-charged rotating mobile parts puzzle, moving vertically and horizontally on a board; Each one of them has an image printed on its visible face so that, once they are placed in the correct order, the total resolved image is displayed. Characterized in that each of the pieces of the puzzle is subdivided into four smaller and equal-sized pieces, printed on one side with the image to be solved and housed in a cubicle made of transparent plastic material, inside which they can freely rotate. At the base of the board small magnets are arranged in a sequence of combinations that cause the pieces to turn in which micro-magnets have also been embedded.

Description

Rotating moving parts puzzle with load magnetic

Technical sector

The invention is in the field of recreational games, more specifically in the puzzle section or puzzle.

State of the art

Currently, within the puzzle section, there are a great variety of designs, mainly intended for Entertainment and education.

They all try to challenge the skill of the player, complicating the layout in very different ways, mobility and morphology of the pieces.

The most required capabilities for puzzle resolution is visual dexterity, intelligence Cognitive and psychomotor abilities (especially in games children).

On very few occasions the capacity intervenes of memory in its resolution.

Nor is it usual to intervene in the game the possibility of turning the piece due to a magnetic load provoked

Some game history has been found puzzles, to which magnetic elements have been incorporated that hinder its resolution. Some examples are: U200930195; US 4,402,510; US 4,404,766; US 5,318,302; US7,273,404

The present invention causes the occasional turn of the visible piece and, therefore, the need to memorize its image to find its correct position. This circumstance greatly hinders the development of the game.

There is a circumstance that each piece is divided into subpieces that rotate independently. The magnets are combine at the base in such a way that the piece is only visible completely in its correct position. In this way, once there, if it moves again the image is no longer visible, which makes it difficult to solution and increases the need for memory and attention.

Detailed description of the invention

The present invention consists of a puzzle of pieces that move vertically and horizontally on a board; each of them having an image printed on their face visible so that, once placed in correct order it View the total image resolved.

Each of its pieces is divided into subpieces that are inside a cubicle where they can rotate freely.

At the base of the board are arranged small magnets in a sequence of combinations that cause the rotation of the pieces in which microimanes have also been embedded.

Examples

The present invention is further illustrated. through the following examples, which are not intended to be limiting its scope.

Example 1

Board with 16 pieces (arranged in 4 rows and 4 columns) which is missing a piece, to enable movement of the others.

Each piece is subdivided into 4 parts (2 rows and two columns), each of these pieces has an embedded micro magnet (or is made of magnetic material).

A sequence of magnets whose possible number of combinations is 2 raised to 4, is say 16. So that each of the 16 pieces has in turn, 16 possible visualizations, which will only be completely visible in the right position.

Example 2

Board with 9 pieces (arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns) which is missing a piece, to enable movement of the others.

This variant of the game simplifies its resolution, so it would be very appropriate for children (designed with characters or children's motives) or for people with some kind of psychomotor difficulty

Example 3

Board with 100 pieces (arranged in 10 rows and 10 columns) to which a piece is missing, to enable the movement of others. This variant of the game is enormously complex, so it would be very appropriate for people very trained, lovers of complicated challenges. The possibilities of Solve this board are tiny.

Example 4

Computer application that mimics, through a interface and virtual, the real game. This program would be executable on any computer support or gaming platform electronic, having a menu of options that allows the choice of all game variables, such as colors, sounds, image to solve, number of pieces, difficulty, time of resolution, memorization of better results and other variables Similar.

Description of the mechanisms and Reference to the figures

The pieces are arranged on a pit practiced in a rigid box, where they will move freely (Figure 1).

This box has grooves in its base that they will serve as guides to facilitate the movement of the pieces and prevent them from detaching from the assembly (7) - (Figure 5).

Once the puzzle is solved, the last one will be placed piece, to visualize the complete solution- (Figure 2).

At the base of the pit will be embedded the magnets in different combinations (Figure 3), according to the number of pieces and the optional difficulty of the game (8) - (Figure 5).

In this way, each piece will be displayed in differently, according to its position on the board (Figure 4). Alone the image it contains will be completely visible once found its correct position- (Figure 2).

Each piece is subdivided into four more small (4) - (Figure 5) and of equal size, printed by one of its faces (2) - (Figure 5) with the image to be solved. The other face of each piece will be neutral and homogeneous (3) - (Figure 5). These are housed in a cubicle (6) - (Figure 5) of plastic material transparent (5) - (Figure 5), inside which they can rotate freely (1) - (Figure 5).

The box on which the game is developed is compact, made of rigid and durable material (9) - (Figure 6), to which, optionally, it can be equipped with backlight to allow I play in situations of lack of light. On the other hand you will have a department where the last piece of the puzzle will be housed and the instructions for resolution (12) - (Figure 6), a window visible with the solution (11) - (Figure 6) and the trade name (10) - (Figure 6).

Claims (1)

1. Puzzle of rotating moving parts with magnetic load, which move vertically and horizontally on a board; each of them having an image printed on its visible face so that, once placed in correct order, the total image resolved is displayed. Characterized because each of the pieces of the puzzle is subdivided into four smaller and of equal size, printed on one of its faces with the image to be solved and housed in a cubicle of transparent plastic material, inside which they can rotate freely. At the base of the board small magnets are arranged in a sequence of combinations that cause the rotation of the pieces in which microimanes have also been embedded.
