Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a puzzle toy in a spherical shape. SOLUTION: A world globe is assumed on a supporting spherical body 1 and crossing parts (5) are secured at twenty four points on the total of six rounds of guide grooves (2a), (2b), (3a), (3b), (4a) and (4b), which are two rounds of the guide grooves (2a) and (2b) over the virtual line (2) of longitude 0 degree to 180 degrees, two rounds of the guide grooves (3a) and (3b) over the virtual line (3) of the east longitude 90 degrees to the west longitude 90 degrees and two rounds of the guide grooves (4a) and (4b) over the virtual line (4) of latitude 0 degree. One of the crossing parts (5) is turned to an open part (6) whose position is successively changed and sliding pieces (7) to be moved without being detached along the guide grooves (2a), (2b), (3a), (3b), (4a) and (4b) are arranged at crossing parts (5) at twenty three points. One sliding piece (7) from adjacent four directions is moved to the open part (6) at one crossing part (5) and one sliding piece (7) from four directions is successively moved to the open part (6) changed every time of movement. Twenty three pieces of the sliding pieces (7) arranged at the crossing parts (5) are moved along the guide grooves (2a), (2b), (3a), (3b), (4a) and (4b) without coming into contact with each other.
