Abstract

Logic game with a plurality of game planes comprising mosaic units which may be placed side by side and/or one on top of the other, those mosaic units being provided of code carrier surfaces forming game surfaces coinciding with each other in various game planes. The present invention is characterized in that the mosaic units (6) are comprised of at least two spatial figures (4) which cover each other partially or completely and are interconnected in the covering plane; said figures are formed by spatial figure portions (2) joined in various ways to each other and presenting a base surface (2/a, 2/b etc.) having various shapes, at least a portion of the base surfaces (4/1', ...4/20') of the spatial figures (4) being formed as a code carrying surface.

Description

The present invention is a multiplayer logic game, preferably a spatial puzzle game, which has mosaic units with adjacent and / or superimposed codes.

Jigsaw puzzles made of a set of flat-shaped mosaic elements are known. On one of the surfaces of the mosaic elements, symbols, or a coherent image or symbol, are applied. the individual details of the picture are hung.

The shape of the mosaic elements within a game is the same and it is also characteristic that each element can be connected to each element, because it gives the large number of planar variations that the surface of the game carries. Such a game is described in U.S. Patent No. 4,063,736. U.S. Pat.

It is apparent from the description that the individual mosaic elements may have an almost arbitrary curve shape, but the contours are always drawn using the straight lines or the curved lines that replace them.

It is also known for "in-plane" puzzle games such as: No. 2,250,554 or 2,427,111. French Patent Specification No. 4,121,121, which discloses mosaic elements of squares, but of individual mosaic elements! The shaped module elements are different in shape and can only be placed on a surface having a frame for play with a limited variation.

In general, in-plane jigsaw puzzles are only of interest to minors, where in the process of assembling mosaics in the plane, the beauty of the game is only given by the details on them, and recognizing and aligning the parts in the plane gives the child a sense of success.

The disadvantage of these toys is that, due to a planar approach, it also limits its way of thinking to the plane and does not allow for the development of three-dimensional modes of care, so that the improvement of spatial vision in children cannot be fully realized.

Solutions are known in the field of jigsaw puzzles, where the aim is no longer to match individual mosaic pieces but to position the elements in space.

Such a solution is described in Hungarian H / 2231. The disclosure of which is based on the fact that the elements to be joined complement each other in a rectangular parallelepiped, where the base of the two bodies of the assembled rectangular parallelepiped is a right triangle and the side surface is a rectangular rectangle.

A solution similar to the above solution is further described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,653,254 and 4,198,053. U.S. Pat. a cube or a block or a three-dimensional cross shape must be assembled. The essence of these solutions is that the elements can be juxtaposed in a certain order so as to produce a cube or a three-dimensional cross-shape according to the given geometric shape.

Also known is a spatial puzzle game like the devilish triangle of Hungarian origin, where the individual spatial blocks are connected to each other along the cylinders and the cylinders of henge2 and the other group of cylinders thus attached is axially connected to each other. Each group of cylinders forms a spatial shape of different shapes that are different in color, and grouping of colors can be used to arrange a group of cylinders approaching a triangle of different colors. The disadvantage of the said game is that the individual playing surfaces are not homogeneous homogeneous playing surfaces, so that they cannot draw continuous symbols and picture diagrams on them. The game is made of non-interchangeable cylindrical elements of different colors so that once the game has started, the game loses its interest.

It can be seen from the above that there are significant advantages of spatial puzzle games, but the disadvantage is that the elements must always be placed in the same place in order to achieve the result, there is no possibility to switch between the elements, since they are always different and once the success of the pairing is achieved, the second pairing is no longer a particular difficulty for the pairing player. A further disadvantage is that the image areas of the game surfaces are not duplicated, so they need to be recognized only once and placed in the desired location.

The present invention is based on the discovery that by creating a three-dimensional mosaic unit which is heterogeneously staggered from three-dimensional mosaic tiles with a planar mosaic jigsaw with a lexical thickness coding. where the height of each step is equal to the plate thickness of the spatial sections, where the plate thickness can be up to a few tens of millimeters e.g. taking into account normal writing board thickness and cascading jumps, said mosaic units create multiplayer levels and their different shape levels at play levels have spatially similar numbers and shapes at each level of play, then by docking all three planes, it has to be taken into account, so that spatial thinking also plays an important role in the game with a flat surface.

The object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the solutions described above and to combine a puzzle game bounded by three-dimensional planes where the individual elements can be inserted in several places, thus requiring a planar approach, thus creating a game of serious logic development. , which combines the benefits of plane and space puzzle games.

It is also our goal that the toy should be able to playfully symbolize the objects around the child in the surroundings so that, with the help of the child's favorite objects, the aesthetic sense of order can be developed by combining a flat and a spatial approach.

The multiplayer logic game of the present invention is preferably a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle in which a spacer and / or stackable

For purposes of the present invention, spatial domains are spatial bodies from which spatial domains are composed. Thus, the spatial domains are formed from the spatial domains by joining them to the sides of the spatial domains, e.g. glued.

Spatial profiles are considered to be other types of spatial frames according to their spatial planes, which are also spatial bodies and their base and top plate are also planar surfaces.

The color of the play is created by juxtaposing the spatial blocks, the height of which is equal to the height of the spatial blocks. The level of play. the relative positions of the composite spheres can be changed during assembly. The glide surface of the game color viewer is regarded as the playing surface. This game interface displays a game grid formed by joining tcridoms side by side.

On this toy grid is a plane figure and symbol drawn, all of which can be assembled in a mosaic-like manner.

A mosaic unit is defined as a multi-level spatial shape formed by interlacing and securing a portion of its motherboard, so that in each case the mosaic units are multi-level and each level coincides with a level of the play color.

The invention thus relates to a multiplayer logic game, preferably a spatial puzzle game, having spatially spaced spherical tiles formed by adjacent and / or superimposed spatial portions which, when assembled, are contoured on the spherical tiles, spatial blocks have mosaic units assembled by attaching them to the surface of the modular baseplates.

The invention may also be implemented in such a way that at each play level the play grid formed by the contour lines of the spatial pages form a different network.

Alternatively, the invention may be constructed so that at each play level the play grids formed by the contour lines of the spatial domain pages are identical.

In another embodiment of the invention, the game level network formed by the contour lines of the spatial domain sheets directly above each other is rotated 90 or more times relative to one another.

In one important embodiment of the invention, the number of play levels is two and the spatial portions are straight blocks or straight cylinders.

In another embodiment of the invention, the module baseplates of the spatial portions are congruent with each other within the spatial portions.

In one embodiment of the invention, the height of the spatial blocks forming the mosaic faces is the same as the height of each play level.

Variants of the invention include an embodiment wherein the spatial sections forming the mosaic units are mechanically fixed to each other and preferably are made of a single material.

In an important embodiment of the invention, the mosaic unit support housing is formed in a form suitable for in-plane symbolization of a lid or a flat cup or other object.

In a particular embodiment of the invention, the playing surface of the assembled mosaic units is provided with the same but complementary code mark or symbol in rotation relative to one another.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the number of play levels (1) is two, whereby it has two play surfaces (9).

The spatial portions (2) are straight columns or straight cylinders having a height dimension substantially smaller than any of the (b), (b, c,) modular board boundary dimensions, preferably plate-shaped, i.e., very small in relation to the (a, b, c,) .

For light weight, it can be made of paper or plastic or a thin metal sheet imitating paper thickness. In the paper embodiment, the low weight allows the toy to be sent as a letter in an envelope commonly used by the public, thus providing a new form of the well-known mailing game.

The spatial portions (2) delimited by the straight and circular arcs of Fig. 1 with their modular plates (a, b, c,) placed side by side and fixed (preferably glued) to one another along the side panels (4 / 1'-). 4/8 ') are formed with spatial profiles.

Each spatial portion (4) differs in shape from one another and the spatial portions (2) forming each of the four fiber sections are represented by dashed lines (Figure 4).

Each spatial object (4) is assembled in a square shape and forms each level of play (1), the play surface (9) being clearly visible on the play level with the play color grid (8) thereon (Fig. 5).

The two spherical spheres (4) assembled at the level of play (1) are placed side by side so that the sphere of play (8) formed by the alignment lines in the left square is rotated by 180 ° and 90 ° in the right square. .

The spheres (4) put together in the left-hand square are arranged so that the vertices A, B, C are superimposed so that the two (1) two-dimensional spatial planes (1) overlap each other. The spatial sections (4) are mechanically connected as shown in Figure 6 and form the mosaic units (5).

The mosaic units (5) are shown in Fig. 6 and can be easily observed. The overlapping of the spatial blocks (4) located on each level of play (1) - the overlapping parts are highlighted by hatching - the overlapping parts are mechanically connected to each other. glued. Instead of the fixed attachment, the two spatial sections (4) can be connected in such a way that the two spatial sections (4) at the game levels (1) can be rotated 90 ° by 180 ° and 270 ° with respect to each other.

For rotation, the axis of rotation is preferably located in the center of the square modular plate (a), where necessary the point of rotation or the axis of rotation may be located elsewhere. Fig. 2 shows a region (2) having another module base (d, é), from which the region (4) of Fig. 7 is formed. From the formed spatial figures (4) according to Fig. 7, in the square arrangement shown in Fig. 8, the spatial spheres (4) are arranged side by side and form a level of play (1).

The game grid (8) is formed by an assembly line (8) in the left-hand square, which at the same time rotates the playing surface in the right-hand square at 180 ° and once at 90 ° in the plane, thus forming each ) game levels.

The left square represents the bottom, while the right square the top. Each game level (1) has a code marked with an arrow, and it is clear that the two (1) spatial disks (2) located on the two game levels (1) have the same code sections on the same motherboard (2).

In Fig. 9, the mosaic units (5), which are mechanically joined and glued together according to the hatch, form the mosaic units (5).

Each of the mosaic units (5) has a different geometric shape when they are fixed to each other in their upper and lower spatial sections (4).

In vain there is eg. arrow point to the left square at point E if my space time (4) at the lower level (left square) at point K on the right square at point K is also shown in Figure 9 In this way, it is mechanically connected to another top-level spatial unit (4) and forms a mosaic unit (5) of a completely different shape than the top-level (right-hand square) spatial unit (4) having the same shape (2). Although their spatial profile sheet (2) is the same, it cannot be connected in the same way because the point N is on a completely different mosaic unit (5) and the point K is on another mosaic unit (5). The two mosaic units (5) are non-interchangeable, even though they have the same spatial shape (4) having the same code area at the same points of the module base (2).

One of the great things about the game is that plane thinking is very important, but not enough spatial thinking is needed during the game.

From the spatial domains (2) shown in Figure 3, the spatial links (4) delimited by the outlines shown in Figure 10 can be used to form the similar spatial play described above. From the embodiments described, it is apparent that many other embodiments may be designed in accordance with the present invention. The invention is not limited to the embodiments described, but encompasses the solutions protected by the claims.
