Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a picture puzzle, which is used for the purpose of forming and appreciating pictures and patterns, or for children's education and toys.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Fig. 4 shows an example of one of the most popular jigsaw puzzles on the market, out of various types of picture puzzles. This product is a decorative board with a decorative surface formed on the surface of a thick board such as cardboard. The module 10 is cut into a large number of modules 10, and the plurality of modules 10 are cut so as to have a plurality of shapes that can be fitted to each other. The disassembled modules 10 are fitted and arranged on the panel 11, and after the original design is completed, they are fixed with an adhesive.

Until the design is completed, the modules 10 are connected only by fitting and are in a state of being easily detached. Therefore, as a means for making it hard to come off, as shown in FIG. 5, a magnetic layer 12 is provided on the front surface of the panel 11 and the back surface of each module 10 is a magnet 13, or a magnet is provided on the front surface side of the module. Some had an iron foil attached to the back surface (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 58-148721).

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In many conventional picture puzzles, the module cannot be fixed until the design is completed, so the panel cannot be set up while the design is being restored. As a means to solve this, there is a method using the attractive force of the magnet as described above. However, when the back surface of the module is a magnet surface, many modules are attracted to each other and it is difficult to find the desired module. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the attracted one and place them on the panel.

Further, in the case where an iron foil is attached to the back surface of the module, when cutting into a large number of modules, punching is performed from the decorative surface side. At this time, the cutting portion is pushed out and warps toward the back surface of the module and slightly projects (see FIG. 6). For this reason, there is a possibility that the hand or the decorative surface may be damaged during the fitting operation of the module.

In the case where the magnet surface or the iron foil is provided on the back surface of the module, the module can be fixed to the panel surface, and the panel can be erected for work. However, once adsorbed, the module on the panel surface could not be slid, and there was a feeling of resistance to the adsorbing force when the module was removed for positioning or position change, and the attachment / detachment operation was complicated. In other words, there is a drawback that the suction force is too strong for temporary fixing during work and it is difficult to work.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and the module fitted to the panel surface does not drop even when the panel is erected, and there is no resistance to the attraction force during the pattern restoration work. It aims to obtain a picture puzzle that can handle modules and can work safely.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the picture puzzle according to the present invention has a module formed by cutting a plurality of decorative plates with a picture or a pattern drawn on the surface of the substrate and a module for adsorbing the module on the upper surface. It is formed by a base plate provided with a magnet surface, and has a magnetic layer of magnetic powder on the entire back surface or a part of the back surface of the module. This magnetic layer and the magnet surface on the upper surface of the base plate are appropriately attracted. It is configured so that it can be attracted by force.

[0009]

[Work]

 In the present invention, since the magnetic layer on the back surface of the module is formed by the magnetic powder as described above, the module attracted to the magnet surface of the base plate does not attract with a strong attracting force as when attracting the magnet and the iron foil. , It can be slid on the base plate without the resistance of adsorption. Moreover, when the base plate is set up, each module can bear its own weight and does not drop.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a picture puzzle according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing a state in which a module is turned upside down.

Reference numeral 1 is a synthetic resin base, and 2 is a sheet magnet, which is attached to the upper surface of the base 1 to form a base plate. 3 is a module, 4 is a decorative plate having a decorative surface on the front surface of the substrate and a magnetic layer made of magnetic powder on the back surface, and a large number of modules 3 are formed by dividing the module into irregular shapes by cutting lines 5. ing. Reference numeral 6 is a substrate portion of the module 3 having a decorative surface on the front surface, and 7 is a magnetic layer of magnetic powder on the back surface of the module 3.

The magnetic layer 7 is formed by coating a powdery magnetic material with a binder or the like and fixing it by means such as silk screen printing to form a layer. When the magnetic layer is provided directly on the back surface of the decorative plate substrate before cutting. In some cases, the magnetic layer is formed on thin paper or a synthetic resin film, and this is attached to the decorative plate substrate. Also, a stain prevention film may be attached to the surface of the magnetic layer.

In the picture puzzle configured as described above, the modules are collected in pieces and restored to the original design on the base plate. The magnetic layer 7 formed by the above magnetic powder does not have too strong an attraction force with the magnet 2 as the magnets do with each other or with the iron foil and the magnet, so that the module 3 can be attached / detached or slid for positioning on the base plate. There is no resistance due to adsorption, and it is possible to restore the design. Moreover, even if the module 3 is moved during the restoration work, or the base plate is erected for storage or work, the module 3 is not attracted to the base plate and does not drop.

It should be noted that the base of the base plate is not limited to the synthetic resin and may be other materials such as paper and wood as long as the sheet-like magnet can be attached in a flat and stable state. Further, the substrate part of the module may be made of a light material corresponding to the attraction between the magnetic layer made of magnetic powder and the magnet, and synthetic resin, wood or the like may be used.

3 (A) and 3 (B) are rear views of the module formed in another embodiment, in which the decorative plate has a regular shape so that the module is composed of several kinds of shapes which can be fitted to each other. It is formed by cutting into a shape. In (A), the magnetic layer 8 made of magnetic powder is formed in stripes on the entire back surface of the decorative plate and cut. In (B), the magnetic layer 9 made of magnetic powder is provided in a spot shape on the entire back surface of the decorative plate and cut.

As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the magnetic layer made of magnetic powder can be adsorbed on the surface of the base plate even when it is provided on a part of the back surface of the module as in the case where it is provided on the entire surface. In addition to the stripe shape or the spot shape, if the magnetic layer can be arranged in each module after cutting the decorative plate without extreme deviation, the same effect can be obtained even if the magnetic layer is formed in various shapes such as a lattice shape or a spiral shape. The effect can be obtained.

As described above, the magnetic layer made of the magnetic powder is easy to handle because it is adsorbed to the base plate with an appropriate adsorption force, and when the magnetic layer is provided not on the entire surface of the module but on a part of the module, the magnetic layer must be magnetic. Since there is a layerless portion, it is easy to remove when attaching and detaching on the base plate, and it is possible to smoothly proceed with the design restoration work. Further, since the magnetic layer is made of magnetic powder, the decorative plate for forming the module can be easily cut, and the cut section does not warp or project to the back surface side, which is safe in handling.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention has the above-described structure and operation, the puzzle base plate during the restoration can be stood upright and stored, and the restoration work can be carried out by standing the base plate up on the easel or the floor and drawing a picture. You can In the case of a large picture puzzle, it is especially useful for the operator to be able to work and store it in a small space. Moreover, the module being restored can be moved by sliding it on the surface of the base plate without any resistance, and even a child who is not dexterous can easily slide or remove the module. In addition, there is no warp or protrusion in the cut part when the module is formed, and it can be handled safely. Therefore, it can be used for puzzles with a high degree of artistic design, toys for children or educational objects.
