Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] In recent years, jigsaw puzzles have been used not only for entertainment but also for education and advertising, and maps, paintings, drawings, etc. that are large and made up of many small pieces have also appeared.
Things are starting to appear that even adults cannot easily combine. This also takes away from the fun of the puzzle.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a jigsaw puzzle that gives some hints even when the puzzle is large and difficult to assemble, guides the difficult part of the assembly, allows the puzzle to be overcome, and keeps the puzzle interesting. It is in.

This idea is to attach distinguishing codes to the strips from the upper end to the lower end of the meridian on either the left or right end on the back of the strips that make up the Jisoo puzzle, and to mark each strip from the end meridian. Each strip lined up in the weft row should be given the same code as the end strips, and numbers should be given in the order in which they are lined up starting from the end strips.If it is extremely difficult to assemble a jigsaw puzzle, the back side of the strips should be numbered. The strips are assembled using codes and numbers. Furthermore, in the case of jigsaw puzzles that are more difficult to assemble, the shapes of the strips constituting the jigsaw puzzle and the code and number on the back side of the jigsaw puzzle are clearly indicated on a piece of paper of the same size as the jigsaw puzzle, and the numbers on the front side of the jigsaw puzzle This is a jigsaw puzzle that includes a guide map that shows the outlines of paintings, figures, letters, etc. using thin lines, dotted lines, etc.

A specific example of this invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. On the back side 2 of a jigsaw puzzle with a diagram 4 of a car drawn on the front side 1, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 910 are placed at the top of each strip 5 in the top row in order from the left side. Numbers are added, followed by 1, 2, 1, 2, etc. on each line from the left side.
Mark the numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Further, below the top edge of the leftmost column of each strip, different letters A, B, C, D, EFG are attached in order, and each strip in the same row has the same code as each of the above-mentioned end column strips, i.e. From the top row A, A, A, A, A, A,
The strips in the next row below are labeled A, A, A, A and the strips in the next lower row are labeled B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B. Furthermore, the next row of strips are C, C, C,
The strips in each row are numbered C, C, C, C, C, C, C, and in this way, the strips in each row are similarly numbered D, E, F, G. The above signs and numbers are A1, B1, C1, D1, from top to bottom on the left side.
Along with E1, F1, and G1, the next second row is A2 from top to bottom.
Codes and numbers are marked in the order of B2, C2, D2, E2, F2, G2, and the third column is A3, B3, C3, D3.E3.F3,
G3 symbol and number are marked. i.e. component strip 5
All of the numbers are 1, 2, 3, vertically and horizontally, and A, B,
They are labeled C and D.

Therefore, if it is difficult to assemble a jigsaw puzzle, if you look at the back of each of the strips 5 that make up the puzzle, if it is B ₃ , it will be below A ₃ in the vertical relationship, above C ₃ , or horizontally. Since it is known that C ₂ is located on the right side and C ₄ is located on the left side, it is possible to assemble it by relying on the code and number on the back of the strip 5.

Furthermore, if it is difficult to combine the strips 5 by inserting them into each other using the codes and numbers on the back of the strips 5, make a separate piece of paper 3 of the same size as the Jisso puzzle and place it on the paper strip 3. A guide map is provided which clearly indicates the shapes, codes and numbers of the strips 5 constituting the jigsaw puzzle, and also shows the contours 4 of paintings, figures, characters, etc. on the surface 1 of the jigsaw puzzle suggestively with thin lines, dotted lines, etc. This is what I did.

This invention has the above structure, so if you have difficulty in assembling the strips 5 of the jigsaw puzzle and you cannot easily figure out which strip should fit where,
Insert the strips into each other using the codes and numbers on the backs of the constituent strips, and if that is still difficult, use a separate sheet of paper to match the outline of the picture or figure with the codes and numbers on the backs of the constituent strips and fit them together. By doing so, the combinations of the Jigsaw puzzles are never completely unknown, and the Jigsaw puzzles do not lose their interest.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] On the back side of each of the constituent strips forming the jigsaw puzzle, different numbers or codes are attached to the top edge of each strip in the top row in order from one side to the other, and the top edge of each strip in the same column is marked with the above top row. The same numbers or codes as the strips are attached, and different codes or numbers are attached sequentially below the upper edge of the leftmost side of each strip, and each strip in the same row has the same code as the leftmost column strip. Or a number is attached,
On the base plate on which the puzzle is assembled, a dotted thin line of the same shape as each of the strips forming the puzzle shall be marked, and the same numbers and symbols as those on the back of the same strip shall be marked at the positions corresponding to each strip. A jigsaw puzzle in which the contours of paintings, drawings, etc. on the surface are appropriately expressed by thin lines, dotted lines, etc., to facilitate the combination of each strip.
