Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a three-dimensional puzzle consisting of a plurality of mutually linked annular quadrilaterals.

The details of the configuration of the three-dimensional puzzle according to the present invention are as follows.

That is, as shown in FIG.
, 2.3 and 4 are arranged in a row, and their single faces 1 and 4 are pasted together to form an annular quadrilateral A with both upper and lower sides open.

Similar annular quadrilaterals B, C, D, E, F, etc. are successively chained through any side of the opening 1 of the adjacent annular quadrilaterals, so that the total number of sides is a multiple of 3. do.

The three-dimensional puzzle according to the present invention basically has the structure as described above, but in order to further clarify the overall structure, the method of using the three-dimensional puzzle according to the present invention will be explained next.

The first step in this three-dimensional puzzle is to combine three chained annular quadrilaterals A, B, and C to complete one cube.

That is, in FIG. 2, L with reference to the central annular quadrangle B
Arrange the annular quadrilateral bodies A and C in a letter shape, and first arrange the annular quadrilateral A and C.
is moved in the direction of arrow a to find the two sides 2 of the annular quadrilateral A.
' closes the opening 1' of the annular quadrangle B.

As described above, the two annular quadrilaterals A and B mutually close their respective openings 1 with the side surfaces 2 to form one cube, but in this state, this cube is still unstable.

Then, the third annular quadrangle C is moved and fitted in the direction of the arrow C, that is, the two opposing sides 2'' of the annular quadrangle C are
It fits into the gap between two opposing sides 2' of the annular quadrangle A and one side 2'' of the annular quadrangle B.

Through the work so far, each of the six sides has a double structure,
The cubic unit 3 can be formed in a stable state without the need for fixing with adhesive tape or the like.

Here, the annular quadrangle C further has an annular quadrangle.

E and F are chained in order.

Therefore, cubes can be assembled one after another in the same manner as described above, but the several cubes assembled in this way are continuous and glued to each other, so for example, four cubes 3 can be assembled one after another. When assembled, they can be lined up in a Japanese character shape, or they can be assembled in such a way that the two axes intersect, as shown in FIG.

Although the three-dimensional puzzle according to the present invention is assembled in the manner described above, the goal is not to simply create a cubic unit 3 and finally combine several units 3.

To explain the embodiment already apparent in FIG. 1B, all annular quadrilaterals A, B, C.
... is provided with through holes 4 on two adjacent sides.

When forming a cube unit 3 using three such annular quadrilaterals, since all six sides of the cube unit 3 have a double structure, it is necessary to combine them so that the side surfaces 2 having the through holes 4 overlap each other. A single cube with a complete through hole 4 will have it.

That is, the method of assembling the cube unit 3 using three annular quadrilaterals is as described in accordance with FIG. Therefore, when the cube unit 3 is assembled, the through hole 4 may be blocked by the side surface 2 of another annular quadrilateral, and the through hole 4 may overlap to form a complete through hole. .

Therefore, it is not necessarily easy to assemble the cubic units 3 so that they have two complete through holes 4, and to assemble them so that the through holes 4 between adjacent cubic units 3 communicate with each other.

A combination method that makes this possible, and 6 cubes 3 made in this way using 18 chained annular quadrilaterals, and a rectangular parallelepiped with 2 columns and 3 rows. FIG. 4 shows the assembly method when assembling.

The assembly shown in FIG. 4 is basically the same as the above-mentioned method explained in accordance with FIG. It is necessary that two holes 4 be formed in each cubic unit 3 and that the through holes 4 of each cubic unit 3 communicate with each other.

Therefore, when forming one cubic unit 3, the orientation of each of the annular quadrilaterals A, B, C, D, E, F, etc., that is, the positional relationship of the side surfaces 2 having the through holes 4 must be determined. must be taken into consideration, and it is also necessary that the chain relationship of the fourth annular quadrilateral (annular quadrilateral D when making one cubic unit with annular quadrilaterals A, B, and C) is constant. Become.

The symbols ac, e, f... in Fig. 4 indicate the direction and order in which the annular quadrilaterals A, C, E, F... are moved, and they are assembled according to the diagram. FIG. 5 shows the three-dimensional puzzle 5 that is completed as a result.

It is clear that all the through holes 4 communicate with each other through the dashed dotted lines.

At this time, for example, it would be possible to insert a hollow celluloid sphere with a bell into the through hole 4 at the end of the neck, swing the three-dimensional puzzle 5, drop the inside of the sphere downward in order, and take it out through the through hole 4 at the final end. .

Next, other embodiments will be described.

In this example, the annular quadrilaterals A, B, C, etc. are chained on the multiple side of 3, and the three annular quadrilaterals constitute one cubic unit 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped three-dimensional puzzle can be completed by combining several cube units 3.

However, the annular quadrilaterals A, B, C, etc. are not provided with through holes 4, and instead have a predetermined design,
For example, some elements forming a person or an animal are displayed.

- For example, when 18 chained annular cubes are used to form six cubes into a rectangular parallelepiped with two columns and three columns, a certain pattern appears as shown in FIG.

Therefore, when it is desired to form the monkey figure shown in FIG. The pattern displayed on the side surface of the cube 16 is placed on the annular quadrilateral 19, the pattern displayed on the cube M is placed on the side surface of the annular quadrilateral 22, and the pattern displayed on the cube N is placed on the annular quadrilateral 25. The patterns displayed on the cube O are displayed on the sides of the annular quadrangle 28, respectively.

If the annular quadrilaterals shown in FIG. 7 are sequentially fitted and combined, each pattern will have a continuous outline and form a completed picture.

Here, if a continuous pattern cannot be obtained, it means that the puzzles have been fitted together incorrectly.

If the fitting combination is incorrect, it can be corrected by rotating the annular rectangle on which the pattern is displayed.

Although a three-dimensional puzzle with a design appearing on one side as shown in FIG. 6 can be used as a play toy, it is also possible to make a certain design appear on the back side at the same time.

Also, the side surface 2 of the annular quadrilateral A, B, C, D...
If the constituent elements of different designs are to be displayed on all of the annular quadrilaterals, each annular quadrilateral has four sides 2, and it is sufficient to display the - constituent elements in three annular quadrilaterals, so 12 This will make the street design appear.

In the present invention constructed in this manner, by linking the annular quadrilaterals on the side that are multiples of 3, it is possible to assemble continuous cubic units in various forms.

Also, on the premise that the whole is made into a rectangular parallelepiped by continuing it two-dimensionally, components of an arbitrary design are displayed on each side so that when the rectangular parallelepiped is assembled, a predetermined design is completed. can do.

Furthermore, on the same premise, two sets of through holes can be bored so that when the rectangular parallelepiped is assembled, the through holes communicate internally from the through hole at the best end to the through hole at the final end.

The three-dimensional puzzle according to the present invention differs in the shape and surface of the completed body depending on how the orientation and positional relationship of each annular quadrangle is determined and assembled. It has very good educational effects, such as improvement.
