Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] 1. A plurality of ring elements each have an axis, and have first and second surfaces and a periphery for forming a symbol, the ring elements are magnets, and each element has an axis. A first surface is magnetically attracted to a second surface of another element, the first surface of each element has an annular groove concentric with the axis of the element, and the second surface of each element is magnetically attracted to a second surface of another element. having a plurality of features formed to be received in the grooves, the elements are held in a stack with their axes aligned substantially solely by magnetic forces, and each element is capable of moving it substantially perpendicular to its axis; A magnetic ring puzzle that can be removed from adjacent elements of a stack by 2 The first surface of each element has a plurality of holes installed at the bottom of the groove in the first surface, which form a click stop when the ring elements rotate relative to each other, preventing further rotation of the element. 2. The puzzle of claim 1, wherein each projection is resistively received in said hole. 3. A plurality of ring elements each have an axis and a symbol forming periphery forming a plurality of symbols spaced apart around the peripheries of the first and second surfaces, and the ring elements each have a magnet. , the first surface of each element is magnetically attracted to the second surface of another element, and the first surface of each element is
The second surface of each element has an annular groove concentric with the axis of the element and a plurality of holes spaced apart along each groove. a plurality of protrusions located within the element and formed to move along the groove, at a predetermined relative rotational position of the element;
All the protrusions enter the holes of said other elements, said elements being not restricted in attachment to each other except by magnetic attraction and the entry of the protrusions of said elements, thereby preventing disassembly and disassembly of said stack of elements. A magnetic ring puzzle that can be quickly reassembled into different stack arrangements. 4. The puzzle of claim 3, wherein the projections have tapered sides to facilitate sliding of one element over another. 5 Each of the plurality of puzzle elements has an axis,
and has first and second surfaces and a symbol forming periphery forming a plurality of symbols around the periphery, the puzzle element is a magnet, and the first surface of each of the elements is a magnet. Magnetically attracted to the second surface, the elements are held in a stack with their axes aligned substantially solely by the magnetic force, and each element is moved substantially perpendicular to the axis to form the stack. The element can be taken out from an adjacent element, and the first or second surface of the element is placed at the end of the stack at a position where the axis of the element coincides with the axis of the element of the stack. can be returned to the stack by moving against an exposed second or first side, and the symbol on the periphery of the element indicates that all the elements of the stack are relative to each other. The symbol is only visible correctly when it is in a given orientation, and due to the magnetic interaction between said first and second surfaces, any element in the wrong orientation will not be placed inside the stack so that the symbol is seen correctly. , cannot be held by magnetic force, magnetic ring puzzle. 6. Each of the plurality of puzzle elements has an axis, and has first and second surfaces and a symbol-forming periphery forming a plurality of symbols at intervals around the periphery, the element a magnet, the first surface of each element being magnetically attracted to the second surface of another element, the first surface of each element having a main substantially planar portion, an annular groove concentric with the axis of the element; a plurality of holes spaced apart along said groove, the second surface of each element having a main generally planar portion, when said elements are rotated relative to each other, into said groove of another element; a plurality of protrusions formed so as to be positioned and move along said grooves, and at a predetermined relative rotational position of said element all enter said holes of said another element; axially, held within the stack;
The substantially planar portions of adjacent surfaces substantially abut, and the elements are subject to attachment limitations to each other other than by the magnetic attraction force and by receiving the protrusion of an element into the groove and hole of the other element. first, it allows for rapid disassembly of said stack of elements and reassembly of another stack; the relative rotation of adjacent pairs of elements of said assembly cooperates with said magnetic attraction force; Automatically when an element leaves said predetermined relative rotational position of one, said generally abutting generally planar portions of said pair of adjacent elements are slightly separated along their same axis and eventually become slightly closer together. The protrusion, the groove, and the hole are configured and dimensioned so that when the elements are in another of the predetermined relative rotational positions, they substantially abut again. 7. When the substantially planar portions of the adjacent element pair are brought into substantially abutment again, the first and second
7. The puzzle of claim 6, wherein the faces are formed. 8. The slight separation of the surfaces of the adjacent pair of elements at the beginning of relative rotation prevents further relative separation of the slightly separated surfaces by reducing the attractive force of the magnets between the elements. 7. The protrusion, the groove, and the hole are configured and dimensioned to facilitate target rotation while still maintaining the protrusion in the groove by the attractive force of the magnet. puzzle. 9. said protrusion is of a constant configuration and arrangement relative to said second surface, such that axial movement of said protrusion relative to said first surface of said further element causes
7. The puzzle of claim 6, wherein movement of the second surface causes movement of the entire element relative to the other element.
