Description

This utility model relates to the field of manual mechanical toys and can be used as a puzzle game.

The puzzle game [1] is known from the prior art, which is a regular polyhedron having 12 faces in the form of regular pentagons, 20 vertices, 30 edges, consisting of a cross with 12 protrusions with angles between any of them in the section along the axis of about 63 angular degrees 26 arc minutes and 12 spring-loaded rectangular faces fixed on them, holding five corners and five edges painted in 12 colors (according to the number of faces). A feature of the well-known puzzle game is that when you rotate any of the 12 faces, along with 5 corners and 5 edges, the combination of the colors that make up the dodecahedron changes significantly.

A disadvantage of the known device is the relatively short term of its operation due to the presence in the design of springs and spring-loaded elements.

Closest to the proposed device in technical essence and the achieved result is a puzzle toy [2], which has a playing field in the form of a cylindrical surface on which grooves are made. The cylindrical surface of the playing field is formed by disks that are joined together with the possibility of rotation about the axis of the said cylindrical surface. Movable elements are introduced into the grooves on the playing field. Movable elements can move along the surface of the grooves without falling out of the latter beyond the boundaries of the cylindrical surface. On the surface of the grooves there are spring-loaded sections that allow to “sink” the movable elements radially (ie towards the center of the disk) equipped with such a spring-loaded section. The end disks in the prototype are not provided with grooves and serve to prevent loss of movable elements from the grooves of the central disks of the device in question.

This prior art device is adopted as a prototype of the claimed puzzle game.

The disadvantage of the prototype is the relatively short term of its operation due to the presence in the design of the prototype springs and spring-loaded elements.

The task to which the claimed technical solution is directed is to saturate the market of manual mechanical toys with a new fascinating puzzle game.

The technical result expected from the proposed device is to increase its service life.

The claimed technical result is achieved in that the puzzle toy is characterized by the presence of a playing field in the form of a cylindrical surface with grooves made in it. The playing field is formed by two end and at least one central disk, united with each other with the possibility of rotation about the axis of the aforementioned cylindrical surface. The device also has movable elements that are inserted into the said grooves with the ability to move only on the surface of the latter. In this case, at least one groove oriented perpendicular to the axis of said cylindrical surface is made in the end disks, and the central disk is provided with at least three grooves oriented mainly along the axis of the said cylindrical surface, the beginning and end of the groove of the end disks being provided with zones pairing with the beginning or end of two grooves of the central disk, and the number of movable elements corresponds to the number of grooves in the disks that make up the playing field.

The proposed device is illustrated by drawings.

In FIG. 1. schematically presents the design of the claimed puzzle toys made with one central disk equipped with three grooves and two end disks, each of which contains one groove.

In FIG. 2. schematically presents the design of the claimed puzzle toys made with two central disks, each of which contains 4 grooves, and two end disks, each of which is equipped with two grooves.

End disks 1 (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4) can be made of any structural material, for example wood, metal, glass or polymeric material, in particular: polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, etc. The central disks 2 (Fig. 1 Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) can also be made of any structural material, including the aforementioned structural materials. The grooves 3 (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4) in the end disks and the grooves 4 (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) in the central disks can be made by milling, stamping or during molding in the mold. The movable element 5 (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4 and Fig. 6) can also be made of any structural material, as are the disks 1 and 2 (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4). A spherical shape (ball) may be used as the preferred shape of the movable element. Nevertheless, the use of cylindrical, lamellar and similar symmetrical forms is also acceptable as a form of movable elements. The mating zone of the groove of the central disk with the groove of the end disk 6 (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4) is a solution to a simple engineering problem of pairing equal-sized recesses perpendicular to the planes. Mentioned zone 6 (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4) serves to position a particular movable element 5 (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4) in the groove of the central element 4 (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4) by moving it through the groove of the end disk 3 ( Fig. 1 - Fig. 4).

In addition to using a variety of coloring (coloring) of the movable elements 5 (Fig. 1 - Fig. 4), they can contain point protrusions in the form of a Broille font (for visually impaired and even blind players) on their surface, as well as supplemented with hinges, for example, type 8.2 , 8.3 and 8.4 (Fig. 8) for players of children and persons with mental retardation.

Example 4

For the fourth example, a design was used consisting of the first 1.1 and second 1.2 end disks (Fig. 4-1), between which the first central disk 2.1 (Fig. 4-1) and 7.3 (Fig. 5-3), the second central disc 2.2 (Fig. 4-1) and 7.3 (Fig. 5-3), the third central disc 2.3 (Fig. 4-1) and 7.3 (Fig. 5-3) and the fourth central disc 2.4 (Fig. 4-1 ) and 7.4 (Fig. 5-4) having six symmetrically (at an angle of 60 °) circumferential grooves 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and 4.18 (Fig. 4-1 and Fig. 4-2).

In the initial position (the device is oriented vertically relative to its longitudinal axis), the second end disk 1.2 (Fig. 4-1) is strictly vertically under the first end disk 1.1 (Fig. 4-1). All the grooves of the proposed device 3 and 4 are equipped with movable elements 5 (Fig. 4-1 and Fig. 4-2), the number of which reaches 28 pieces.

As a material for the manufacture of the proposed device in this example, shockproof glass was used. Cohesion 9 (Fig. 5-4) of all the aforementioned disks, after filling the grooves with movable elements 5 made of polyethylene, equipped with hinges of the type 8.2 (Fig. 6-1.1 and Fig. 6-1.2) of the above design, made using a polypropylene axis, rigidly fastening (by means of glue) between themselves, the first 1.1 and the second 1.2 (Fig. 4-1 and Fig. 4-2) end disks. The central discs are mounted on said axis. Movable elements with a hinge plate 8.2 (Fig. 6-1) are located in all four grooves of the first 1.1 and second 1.2 end disks (Fig. 4-1), as well as in all grooves of the central disks 7.4 (Fig. 5-4). They are painted black. Movable elements in the first groove of all four central disks 2.1-2.4 (Fig. 4-1) are painted white, movable elements in the second groove of all four central disks 2.1-2.4 (Fig. 4-1) are painted black, movable elements in the third groove of all four central disks 2.1-2.4 (Fig. 4-1) are painted white, movable elements in the fourth groove of all four central disks 2.1-2.4 (Fig. 4-1) are painted black, movable elements in the fifth the groove of all four central disks 2.1-2.4 (Fig. 4-1) are painted white, movable lementy in the sixth slot of the four central disks 2.1-2.4 (Fig. 4-1) are black. The game task is to fill all the grooves of the first and second central discs 2.1-2.2 (Fig. 4-1) with movable elements 5 in black, and all the grooves of the third and fourth central discs 2.3-2.4 (Fig. 4-1) with movable white elements.

The solution to the stated game problem consists in sequentially moving half (2 pieces from each central disk) of the movable elements 5 into adjacent grooves of said central disks 2.1-2.4 (Fig. 4-1).

Using the hand manipulations described in detail in the previous examples, the following contours are created from the grooves:

1. The first groove in the first end disk 3.1 (not shown), the sixth groove in the first, second, third and fourth 4.18 (not shown), the first groove in the second end disk 3.4, the fifth groove in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and the sixth central disc 4.17.

2. Simultaneously with this contour, another contour is formed from the grooves, namely: the second groove in the first end disk 3.2, the second groove in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth central disks 4.14, the second groove in the second end disk 3.5 (not shown), the third groove in the first, second, third and fourth 4.15 (not shown).

3. Move sequentially movable elements 5 in both loops, thereby filling the second groove in the first and second central discs 2.1-2.2 (Fig. 4-1) with movable black elements 5, and filling the third groove in the third and fourth central discs 2.3-2-4 (Fig. 4-1) with movable elements 5 in white.

4. Next, rotate the first 1.1 (Fig. 4-1) and the second 1.2 (Fig. 4-1) end disks clockwise relative to the central disks 2.1-2.4 (Fig. 4-1) by an angle of 60 °. Again, two contours are formed from the grooves of the proposed device, namely: the first circuit, the first groove in the first end disk 3.1 (not shown), the first groove in the first, second, third and fourth central disks 4.13 (not shown), the first groove in the second end disk 3.4 (not shown) and the sixth groove in the first, second, third and fourth central disks 4.18 (not shown); the second circuit - the second groove in the first end disk 3.2 (not shown), the third groove in the first, second, third and fourth central disks 4.15 (not shown), the second groove in the second end disk 3.5 (not shown) and the fourth groove in the first, the second, third and fourth central disks 4.16 (not shown).

5. As in the previous case, sequentially moved elements 5 are moved in both formed contours, they achieve filling of the third groove in the first and second central discs 2.1-2.2 (Fig. 4-1) with movable elements 5 in black, and filling the fourth groove in the part the third and fourth central disks 2.3-2-4 (Fig. 4-1) movable elements 5 in white.

6. Again rotate the first 1.1 (Fig. 4-1) and the second 1.2 (Fig. 4-1) end disks clockwise relative to the central disks 2.1-2.4 (Fig. 4-1) by an angle of 60 °. And again, two contours are formed from the grooves of the proposed device, namely: the first circuit, the first groove in the first end disk 3.1 (not shown), the first groove in the first, second, third and fourth central disks 4.13 (not shown), the first groove in the second end disk 3.4 (not shown) and a second groove in the first, second, third and fourth central disks 4.14 (not shown); the second circuit - the second groove in the first end disk 3.2 (not shown), the fourth groove in the first, second, third and fourth central disks 4.14 (not shown), the second groove in the second end disk 3.5 (not shown) and the fifth groove in the first, the second, third and fourth central disks 4.17 (not shown). 7. As in the previous case, the sequentially movable elements 5 are moved in both formed contours, we achieve the filling of the fourth groove in the first and second central disks 2.1-2.2 (Fig. 4-1) with the movable elements 5 in black, and the filling of the fifth groove in the part the third and fourth central disks 2.3-2-4 (Fig. 4-1) movable elements 5 in white. The game is successfully completed.

Due to the use of well-known structural materials and industrially developed technologies for processing them for the manufacture of the proposed device, it seems possible to consider the proposed technical solution as meeting the patentability criterion of the utility model “industrial applicability”.
