Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a rotary puzzle device adapted to rotate a plurality of transparent sheets separately to create a pattern that can be recognized by see-through with a colored or pictorial portion attached to each transparent sheet.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a puzzle in which a desired pattern is formed by moving constituent members has been widely used as a game. For example, each part of a three-dimensional object such as a regular hexahedron is configured to be rotatable, and puzzles or small blocks of various shapes that perform color matching of the color-coded surface parts are combined in a plane shape to form a predetermined shape. A puzzle or the like configured into a figure is known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Unlike the conventional puzzle devices that do not use electrical means and perform the puzzle operation while looking at the screen of the cathode ray tube and the liquid crystal display screen, even if the puzzle game is played for a long time, it is excessive. There is no risk of eye fatigue, and it is also useful as a teaching material for children. However, the above-mentioned conventional puzzle devices are inconvenient to carry because they are bulky (three-dimensional objects, etc.) and have multiple small components, and it is easy to lose each component, such as a pocket. It was not suitable for carrying the puzzle game in a vehicle such as a train by putting it in a cell phone.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned various circumstances, and its purpose is to create a transparent perspective pattern which is easy to carry, has no fear of losing the constituent members, and has a simple operation to produce variations. The object is to provide a rotary puzzle device that is a puzzle that can be played and that does not use electrical means.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the rotary puzzle device according to claim 1 comprises a plurality of transparent sheets rotatably mounted separately on the same rotary shaft, wherein each transparent sheet has the rotary shaft. The same shape of the transparent see-through figure is drawn at a predetermined interval so as to surround the rotation axis at a position equidistant from, and each transparent see-through figure of each transparent sheet is divided into a plurality of blocks and a predetermined block. Is colored and / or a picture is attached, and the transparent pattern is created by rotating each of the transparent sheets and combining the overlapping transparent figure with the coloring and / or the block portion with the picture. There is.

In addition, in the rotary puzzle device according to a second aspect of the present invention, the transparent sheet is provided on each of the transparent sheets, the transparent sheet is formed on the transparent sheet, and the transparent sheet is formed on the transparent sheet. Auxiliary figures that are almost similar or similar in shape and are divided into similar blocks, and colored and / or pictorial figures are drawn on the blocks at the same positions, respectively. In the state where one transparent perspective figure of each transparent sheet is superposed, the auxiliary figures of the corresponding transparent sheets are positioned so as not to overlap each other.

Next, in the rotary puzzle device according to a third aspect of the present invention, the plurality of overlapping perspective figures are formed into a regular polygonal shape, and the overlapping perspective figures drawn on the same transparent sheet have different positions. The blocks are colored and / or pictorial.

Further, in the rotary puzzle device according to a fourth aspect, the transparent sheet fixes the rotation axis and at least one area of the transparent see-through figure of the transparent sheet and the auxiliary figure of each transparent sheet. Part of each transparent sheet held by the casing is exposed to the outside by a casing that covers the drawn area within the casing so that it can be visually recognized from the outside. Is provided with a notch for allowing the transparent sheet to be rotated.

[0009]

[Action]

 According to the rotary puzzle device of claim 1, when the transparent sheets that have been overlapped are appropriately rotated separately and adjusted to the position where the predetermined overlapping perspective graphics drawn on the respective sheets are overlapped, they are overlapped. A perspective pattern is formed by a colored and / or pictorial (hereinafter simply referred to as “colored or the like”) block attached to the overlapping perspective graphic. That is, when seeing through the overlapping overlapping transparent figures, a predetermined transparent pattern is formed by synthesizing (combining or continuing) the blocks with respective colors.

[0012] The transparent pattern can be variously changed by rotating the transparent sheet as appropriate and selecting the overlapping transparent figure in which the blocks at different positions are colored, and the transparent sheet can be rotated by such a rotating operation. It is possible to create a desired perspective pattern. Also, since each transparent sheet is mounted on the same rotary shaft, it does not come apart, and since it is a sheet, it does not become bulky. Therefore, it is easy to carry and you can play puzzles at any place.

Next, according to the rotary puzzle device of the second aspect, auxiliary graphics corresponding to each of the transparent perspective graphics of each transparent sheet are drawn. These auxiliary figures are partitioned into similar blocks with a shape similar to or similar to the corresponding superimposing perspective figure, and the blocks at the same positions are colored. When the transparent perspective figures of the respective transparent sheets are superposed, the auxiliary figures corresponding to these transparent perspective figures are drawn at positions that do not overlap each other. In other words, the auxiliary figures of the overlapping see-through figure that are superposed can all be seen at different positions at the same time when seeing through the transparent sheet.

This is extremely convenient when a desired or designated pattern is created in the superimposed perspective graphic portion. It is necessary to consider how many transparent sheets are rotated to correct the pattern in the superimposed transparent figure part, but when the transparent figure is superimposed, each of them will be corrected. It is not possible to recognize the state of the colored block of the figure for overlapping see-through (where the colored block is located). Therefore, by checking the auxiliary figures that do not overlap each other, it is possible to confirm the colored block position of the overlapping perspective figure of each transparent sheet and easily determine how to rotate the transparent sheet. It is the one.

Next, according to the rotary puzzle device of the third aspect, the overlapping perspective graphic is formed into a regular polygonal shape, and the overlapping perspective graphic drawn on each transparent sheet is located at different block positions. It is colored. Therefore, since it is a regular polygonal shape, it is easy to divide it into blocks, and the multiple perspective figures drawn on the transparent sheet are colored in blocks at different positions. It is possible to create variations of transparent designs.

Further, according to the rotating puzzle device of the fourth aspect, each transparent sheet is held by a casing that fixes the rotating shaft. Therefore, the transparent sheet is protected by the casing even if the thickness of the transparent sheet is made very thin, so that the deformation and the like are effectively prevented. In addition, the casing is configured so that the range of at least one overlapping perspective figure and the range in which an auxiliary figure corresponding to the overlapping perspective figure overlapped at that position can be visually recognized from the outside. There is. For example, only that part of the area is transparent. Therefore, it is very easy to see the part of the figure for overlay perspective where the pattern is created, and the presence of the cutout part exposes a part of each transparent sheet to the outside. The rotating operation of each sheet can be easily performed. Further, by covering with the casing in this manner, the portability of the rotary puzzle device is improved and the storage is extremely easy.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. 1A and 1B show the overall configuration of a rotary puzzle device according to an embodiment. FIG. 1A is a plan view, FIG. 1B is a right side view, and FIG. 1C is a perspective view of only a casing.

The rotary puzzle device 10 has a substantially square casing 12 having a predetermined thickness. The casing 12 is made of resin. Inside the casing 12, four circular transparent sheets 14-1, 14-2, 14-3 and 14-4 are separately rotatably mounted on a single rotary shaft 15. The transparent sheet 14 is made of a transparent resin, is thin, and is formed to have a thickness of, for example, about 1 mm to 3 mm. Each transparent sheet 14 is attached to the rotary shaft 15 by, for example, providing grooves (not shown) on the peripheral surface of the rotary shaft 15 as many as the number of the transparent sheets 14, and installing the transparent sheets 14 for each groove. It may be possible to leave a small gap between the two. In that case, it is preferable to provide a supporting means for holding the space between the transparent sheets 14 also at a predetermined position on the inner wall of the casing 12. Next, the casing 12 has a window portion 22 in a predetermined range as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, only the window portion 22 is made of a transparent material.

2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D are plan views of four transparent sheets 14-1, 14-2, 14-3, and 14-4 used in the above embodiment. There is. As shown in the figure, each transparent sheet 14 has a plurality of overlapping perspective graphics 17 drawn thereon. The overlapping perspective graphics 17 drawn on each transparent sheet 14 are all graphics of the same size and shape, and are square in this embodiment. In addition, these overlapping perspective graphics 17 are drawn at positions equidistant from the rotary shaft 15, respectively, and are arranged in a circle at predetermined intervals.

Each overlapping perspective graphic 17 is divided into blocks 16 which are small isosceles triangles, and in this embodiment, each is divided into 16 triangles. The block 16 at a predetermined position of each of the transparent see-through figures 17 is colored. Instead of this coloring, for example, pictures of various characters may be attached. In the puzzle according to the present invention, basically, one transparent perspective graphic 17 of each transparent sheet 14 is superposed at the window portion 22 by rotating each transparent sheet 14, and the colored blocks 16 It is a puzzle to create a perspective pattern by composition.

A feature of this embodiment is that auxiliary graphics 20 corresponding to the overlapping perspective graphics 17 are drawn. This auxiliary figure 20 is partitioned into blocks having substantially the same shape and the same shape as the corresponding transparent perspective figure 17, and the blocks 16 at similar positions are colored. In the present embodiment, the shape is made as it is to have a substantially similar shape. What is important is that the position of the auxiliary graphic 20 is different on each of the transparent sheets 14-1 to 14-4. That is, in the transparent sheet 14-1, the position is slightly closer to the overlapping perspective figure 17 and slightly closer to the rotation axis 15, and the positions are sequentially shifted, and the transparent sheet 14-4 is drawn at the innermost position near the rotation axis 15. Has been. This is because what kind of colored block pattern each of the overlapping transparent figures 17 has when the transparent pattern is created by superimposing the overlapping transparent figures 17 at one place of the respective transparent sheets 14. This makes it easy to visually recognize whether or not. As shown in FIG. 1C, the window portion 22 of the casing 12 is formed so that the range of the auxiliary figure 20 of each transparent sheet 14 can also be displayed.

Next, coloring and the like of each block 16 of the superimposed transparent figure 17 will be described. FIGS. 3 (B) to 3 (E) show eight superimposing perspective diagrams 17 drawn on each transparent sheet 14 in an aligned arrangement. As can be seen from the figure, each of the overlapping perspective graphics 17 has two colored blocks 16. The positions of the colored blocks of the eight overlapping transparent figures 17 drawn on one transparent sheet 14 are all different. In this embodiment, 16 kinds of colored block patterns are used for 32 transparent see-through patterns 17 of four transparent sheets 14-1 to 14-4. Therefore, two colored overlapping transparent figures 17 are present in each block 16 at the same position, and they are not duplicated in the same transparent sheet 14, respectively. In addition, FIG. 3 (A) shows each perspective pattern formed by superimposing the superimposing perspective graphic 17 in the basic arrangement of FIG. 3 (B) to (E).

The transparent design shown in FIG. 3 is the most basic example, but the design as shown in FIG. 4 can be created according to the coloring pattern. The pattern shown in the uppermost row in the figure is the design to be created, and the lower row is the arrangement of the colored blocks 16 of the respective overlapping perspective graphics 17 used to create the design. As shown in the figure, it is possible to create various designs, and when the colored blocks 16 are combined without overlapping, the pattern is composed of eight colored blocks 16 and overlapped at predetermined places. In such a case, the pattern is composed of the colored blocks 16 of 7 or less.

In addition, when creating various designs as described above, in the above-described embodiment, while each transparent sheet is being rotated, the auxiliary figure 20 is confirmed at the window portion 22 while the auxiliary figure 20 is used as a guide for the design. Can be created. Further, in order to make the design creation easier, as shown in FIG. 1A, a table 300 of the coloring patterns of the blocks 16 shown in FIG. 3 may be displayed on the surface of the casing 12. . As a result, the rotating operation can be performed while confirming the current position of the overlapping transparent figure 17 of each transparent sheet 14.

It is preferable that the back side of the casing 12 facing the window 22 has a white inner surface so that the transparent figure 17 and the auxiliary figure 20 can be easily seen, and the back side is also the same. It is also possible to use a transparent member to allow the light to pass therethrough for viewing. Although it is necessary to rotate each transparent sheet 14 in creating the pattern, in the present embodiment, the notch 26 is formed on one side of the casing 12, and the edge of each transparent sheet 14 is formed from the notch 26. Each transparent sheet 14 is rotated by exposing the part and pushing the edge of the part.

5A and 5B are schematic cross-sectional views of the exposed edge portions of the transparent sheets 14, and FIG. 5A shows small protrusions 28 formed on the edge portions of each transparent sheet 14. , Which is configured so that it can be easily rotated by pressing it with a finger, (B) has an inclined surface 29 at the end, and a small unevenness for slip prevention is formed on that surface to similarly rotate it with a finger. It can be pressed and rotated easily.

FIG. 6 shows a case where a superimposed transparent figure 17 having another shape is used. In this embodiment, six transparent sheets are used, and the overlapping transparent figure 17 is a regular hexagon. The block 16 is constructed by partitioning this into 24 regular triangles. For simplification of the description, an example of pattern creation by three types of colored block patterns is shown. Moreover, what is shown in the uppermost row in the figure is a transparent pattern constituted by a combination of the superimposed transparent figures 17 shown in the lower row. In this way, such various designs can be formed by using only three types of colored patterns. Therefore, by increasing the number of colored block patterns, more kinds of patterns can be formed as in the case of the superimposed see-through figure in the embodiment shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which the superimposing perspective graphic 17 is an equilateral triangle, and this is partitioned into 16 triangles to form a block 16, which is used to create various designs.

According to each of the above-mentioned embodiments, various puzzle games such as a game competing for the speed of drawing a predetermined shape and a game competing for the speed of creating a pattern similar to a figure drawn by a person are executed. It is possible to do. Further, since it is housed in a thin and compact casing, it is extremely convenient to carry by using a size of, for example, a CD or a floppy disk, and can be easily used in a vehicle such as an electric vehicle. Further, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the puzzle game can be played only by rotating the four transparent sheets, so that even a young person can easily use the puzzle game and is useful as a teaching material. Is also high.

The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the invention. For example, the number of transparent sheets to be overlapped is not limited to the number in the above embodiment, and various numbers can be set, and various coloring patterns of blocks to be colored can be set. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the drawing positions of the auxiliary figures are set inside the overlapping perspective graphics 17, but the drawing positions are not limited to such positions. It is also possible to do so. Further, FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which a plurality of transparent sheets 14 are loaded in the casing, but the configuration is such that the transparent sheets 14 are rotatably mounted around the rotating shaft without using such a casing. But you can play games.
