Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a crafted model for a puzzle-type game and will be described in detail below, but its scope should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense.

This new game involves assembling a regular pyramid formed by connecting 15 different pieces, each side of which is painted with a series of fanciful pictures or otherwise. The pictures are mixed together by moving various parts of the pyramid, and then the challenge is to reconstruct the original picture.

The invention will now be described with reference to drawings showing the various parts of the puzzle that are assembled.

FIG. 1 shows a unit 1 consisting of a regular triangular pyramid with a dovetail catch 2 in the center of its substrate in an intersecting plane of 5 crR. These four units are used in the pyramid complex.

Figure 2 shows the unit 6, with two mortise-type clasps 4 on each of the two sides of that plane, at a distance of 2fi from the intersecting plane of this side, in the intersecting plane of 3G. consists of a regular triangular pyramid located exactly on the bisector of the opposite angles of the intersecting planes.

These six units are used in a pyramid complex. Figure 6 shows unit 5, which forms a regular octahedron, each of its intersecting planes having six strokes, It is provided with a mortise-type catch 7 in the center of one of its sides, and intersects with the side containing the mortise-type stopper on the opposite side (411), which is provided with the aforementioned mortise-type stopper 6. 106 arcuate insides on each of the six sides
M￥ a reaching 6 circles, '5'' is machined. By each of these arcs i'i'/j 8, the mortise-type clasp of the above-mentioned Ile unit is continued to this regular octahedron, and the pyramid composite Allows movement between the various units or pieces forming the body.The chord of this arcuate groove 8 must coincide exactly with the line of intersection of the intersecting planes.The line of intersection of each arc with the plane The distance between the farthest points is 7 m, and the '6 arc is perpendicular to the intersection line.
, four such regular octahedrons will be used in the pyramid composite Figure 4 shows unit 9, which is also 5c
! It consists of a regular triangular pyramid with R intersecting planes. Each of these four sides is machined with an arcuate groove 10, allowing connection with other units with similar hair-and-tenon type clasps and allowing interaction between them. It has become. The six arcuate grooves on each side are
10, 661111 widths, each of which forms an arc whose center coincides with the center of each '\III plane, and is provided with a mortise-type stopper 11 at each center thereof. This unit is one pyramid unit and becomes the central core of the composite.

Each step in assembling the pyramid composite of the present invention will be described below.

(a) each of the four units of unit 1 of FIG. 1 is joined to each of the four units of unit 5 of FIG. 3 by inserting the tenon 2 of unit 1 into the mortise 7 of unit 5; Four composite pieces of composite piece A are formed, and unit 1 can freely rotate on unit 5 due to the connection of the tenon and tenon.

(b) The completed pyramid substrate is assembled as follows. One of the tenons 11 of the unit 9 (central core of the pyramid Ci) is joined to one tenon 6 of the composite piece A. Next, one of the tenons 4 of the unit 6 is inserted into the arcuate groove 8 of the second composite piece A. Both of the composite pieces A described above are joined together so as to be supported on one plane by connecting the tenon 4 of the unit 6 with the groove of the first composite piece. The tenon in question is joined with the corresponding mortise 11 in the central core 9. Next, another unit 3 is connected to each of the two 6" ribs 7L of the sixth composite piece A. Finally, this third composite piece A is connected to the central core pyramid and the two 6" ribs 7L of the unit 9. Vacant: ;1 By fitting the tenon of composite piece A into either hole 11, unit 6
Each one of the two vacant tenons 4 and the corresponding groove of composite piece A are joined together by intersecting with the first two composite pieces A, so that they all rest on the same plane. (C) To complete the pyramid, add the remaining -C pyramid to the part assembled in (b) in the next step. The remaining three units 5 in the fourth composite piece A are joined by inserting the tenons 4 of the units 5 into the corresponding grooves 8 of the units 5. Finally, this partial pyramid is (b
) and the four tenons protruding from the bottom of the partial pyramid are connected by inserting them into one mortise and groove on the top surface of the board.

When the above-mentioned one-sided structure is constructed, a regular tetrahedral pyramid whose four faces are equilateral triangles is formed. The surface of the pyramid consists of 15 units, of which the sides of 14 units are visible to the outside. Five of the four fi11 sides of unit 1 appear outside,
Each fourth surface is combined with the corresponding surface of the unit 5,
Hide. Of the four faces of the six units 3, two of them appear outside, and the other faces are combined with the opposing faces of the unit 5 and hidden. There are 4 unit 50 sides ■ The back six have the current It1 remaining on the outside (D). , and the remaining five surfaces combine with the corresponding surfaces of the five units 6. Only the central core unit 9 has all its surfaces hidden, and no surface is exposed to the outside.

In total, 36 sides of the 14 units are visible from the outside, nine on each of the four sides of the pyramid complex.

Only one side of the unit can be seen/viewed on any side of the pyramid complex. In this way, each unit becomes part of the externally visible side O total pyramid. That is, unit 1 has six sides, unit 3 has two sides, unit 5 has six sides,
Both are visible from the outside.

Whatever form the pyramid composite adopts, it appears intersecting in two planes parallel to its base, and is divided into five parts of equal height, i.e., the thickest part is the substrate, the middle part is divided into sections and the top pyramid unit. These six parts are free to move left and right with respect to an axis of rotation extending in the direction of the height of the pyramid complex and a plane that slides on one of the two horizontal planes of each part.
You can turn 511. And as a rotating mechanism,
The arcuate groove formed by the three grooves machined on one side of the central cough 9 and the arcuate grooves of the five units 5 are utilized. Regarding either, three different postures can be adopted. This is done similarly for any side of the pyramid composite as the substrate. In this way, the pyramid complex has four sides, and two parallel objects that touch can appear on any of these sides, or a total of eight
There are two parallel tangent surfaces. There are therefore four axes of rotation, regardless of the starting position. For each axis of rotation, there are five rotating sections: the deepest section, the middle section, and the top section, and each rotating section has the following functions with respect to the other two sections:
It can adopt five different postures.

Therefore, any screen on the side surface of C1 must be divided by two parallel lines for a total of six parallel lines. That is, two are horizontal lines parallel to the bottom surface, the next two are horizontal lines to the left of the current front surface (!'! This is a line drawn from the side parallel to the horizontal side to the right. This pyramid complex can use any one of the four sides as the base. Also, each top of the pyramid complex is
Corresponding to each base is a rotation axis in the six corresponding construction shells. Using one of the heads as an axis of rotation, the plane across the pyramid complex parallel to the substrate becomes the plane of sliding motion. This pair of planes slides and rotates,
It is determined by three structures 1ζ, called the substrate, the intermediate body, and the top subpyramid. Therefore, there is a head which is also a rotational axis corresponding to each side of the pyramid complex, two planes parallel to the base plate which all operate, and six heads which rotate together. Consists of constructs.

With each rotation, its configuration on all sides changes, except for the axis of rotation and the substrate corresponding to the considered head.

During this rotation, elements are exchanged between the other rotary OT functional parts corresponding to the three other sides without changing the configuration of the rotating composite piece.

In this way, successive various rotations allow the externally visible sides of each element of the pyramid composite to continue forming in the subsections, with four pyramid sides, in separate rotating composite pieces. 2. All of the above must be understood without limitation. Since the unit 1 is necessarily placed at the end of the pyramid complex and forms part of the four substrate bodies, at the same time the four uppermost partial pyramids It will be one of the following. The unit 5 may be placed centrally on the side of the base body or at the corner of an intermediate body, but forms part of any of the eight bodies of the pyramid complex. Finally, unit 5 is
It is placed in the center of the side of the intermediate body, and between the outer unit and the central unit on the side of the substrate body, and forms part of any of the eight bodies of the pyramid complex.

In addition to its obvious value as entertainment, this new game develops visual logic and develops concentration in a way that allows students to recognize dust and even octahedrons or triangular pyramids as geometrical solids, and to easily It's something you can get familiar with.

Although the nature of this puzzle has been well described and intentionally made clear, any changes in detail (which essentially altered its unique features), without modification, are subject to publication. It is something to be called.
