Abstract

The “Color Game” puzzle toy is a children's toy designed to develop creative and mental abilities in children by obtaining a certain color combination or pattern during the game on the surface of a cylindrical toy. The toy contains a sleeve with side disks and several movable disks, each of which has multicolored elements in the form of colored plastic plates glued around the periphery, and corrugated end surfaces. A set of movable discs forms a game cylinder. Side discs have central holes. Inside the game cylinder there is an elastic band, which covers through the holes in the side discs on one side a fixed rod, on the other hand - a ring of a cylindrical hinge. To rotate the discs relative to each other, stretch the elastic band in different directions in the axial direction, grabbing with your fingers the desired number of discs together with the side discs, and then, turning them, fix a new position, loosening the elastic band. When the discs are closed, the hollows of one disc are opposite the protrusions of the other. Twisting the gum after turning the discs is eliminated by turning the ring of the cylindrical hinge in the direction opposite to the twisting of the gum. The number of multi-colored elements rigidly fixed on the periphery of the disk is even and the same for all disks with corrugated end surfaces, the initial pattern is repeated an integer number of times on the surface of the game cylinder (a sectional toy is shown in Fig. 1).

This useful model relates to mechanical puzzle toys and can be used to develop creative and mental abilities in children.

State of the art

A known puzzle toy with a support having necks and consisting of a set of disks mounted coaxially with the possibility of rotation relative to each other and having radially located slots forming ring guides when combined. Ring guides are located on the neck of the support parallel to one another with the formation of groups. On the necks there are also connecting grooves located parallel to their longitudinal axis and intersecting the group annular guides at an angle of 90 °. In the ring guides of the support, game elements are installed with the formation of game layers and the possibility of layer-by-layer rotation and transition from one disk to another and from one rail to another. By rotating the layers of game elements and moving game elements from layer to layer, they can be grouped and one color of the playing field can be changed to another (patent for invention No. 1431789, application 4145115, 11/12/1986, publ. 23.10.1988).

A puzzle is also known that contains a cylindrical support, consisting of an upper and lower base and a block of coaxially mounted rotary disks with sockets that form lateral guide grooves when combined. The base of the support is made in the form of a block of concentric rotary end rings with sockets that form end guide grooves when they are combined, while the end guide grooves are connected to the side guide grooves, and the end rings are rigidly connected to their corresponding rotary disks. Game elements fill the guide slots with the formation of a free cell and are installed with the possibility of moving to a free cell. Moving the game elements to a free cell and turning the rotary discs and end rings, the game elements are moved from one guide groove to another. By shifting and interchanging game elements, one can change one color of game elements in the guide grooves to another (patent for invention No. 1362492, application 4135550, 08/04/1986, publ. 12/30/1987).

A puzzle is also known, containing coaxially mounted rotatable cassettes with sockets that, when combined, form guide channels, end stops, game cylinders and balls filling the channels. Game cylinders, as well as game balls installed in different guide channels, have their own color, so that they can be recognized, and using the ability to move game elements from socket to socket, they can be grouped to create various combinations (patent for invention No. 1378878, application 3957337, 08.23.1985, publ. 03/07/1988).

Known volumetric logic puzzle containing a housing formed by a set of disks mounted coaxially with the possibility of rotation relative to each other and having through slots on the sides that form the guide channels, game elements with information marks installed in the guide channels with the possibility of longitudinal movement, and latches disk positions. Game elements are made in the form of rotary rings (patent for the invention No. 1178458, application 3718961, 03/30/1984, publ. 09/15/1985).

There is also known a puzzle toy containing a game body of coaxial disks sequentially mounted rotatably mounted with a game surface formed by a part of the outer surfaces of the disks. The disks have coaxial grooves of the same cross section, closed at both ends by lids freely placed in them with the possibility of moving along the geometric axis of the grooves parallel to the angular surface, game elements and their rotation locks, while the disks are fixed or with limited movement along the geometric axis of the toy . The surface of the game elements may have different colors or different shades of individual colors (patent for invention No. 1382395, application 3306861, 07/08/1981, publ. 15.03.1988).

The closest analogue is a puzzle toy containing a sleeve and several movable disks, each of which has multi-colored elements in the form of colored plastic plates glued around the periphery, and corrugated end surfaces. On both sides of this set of discs are translucent side discs having openings. Inside the game cylinder formed by the discs is an elastic band that covers the rods with balls at the ends through openings in the side discs. Stretching the gum allows you to rotate the discs relative to each other. The new position of the discs is fixed by loosening the gum. When the discs are closed, the hollows of one disc are opposite the protrusions of the other. Twisting the gum after turning the discs is eliminated by turning the rod with the balls at the ends to the side opposite to the twisting of the gum. Balls at the ends of the rods facilitate rotation and make it smooth by reducing friction between the rods and the surfaces of the side discs. The translucent material of the side discs allows you to control the condition of the gum (utility model patent No. 152569, application 2014120970, 05.23.2014, publ. 06/10/2015).

Utility Model Disclosure

The proposed utility model, the puzzle game “Game of Color”, solves the problem of expanding the arsenal of puzzle toys designed for self-entertainment and development of creative and mental abilities during the game by obtaining a specific color combination or pattern on the surface of a cylindrical toy.

The technical result consists in realizing the task of expanding the arsenal of puzzle toys by creating a puzzle toy design that is convenient in operation and allows you to get a colored pattern on a cylindrical surface.

This technical result is achieved in that the puzzle game "Game of Color", containing a sleeve with side disks and movable disks with colored elements in the form of colored plastic plates glued along the periphery of the disk in a certain sequence, and corrugated end surfaces pulled together with the side disks with the help of an elastic band located inside the cylinder, covering the fixed rod through the holes in the side disks on one side and the ring of the cylindrical hinge on the other side, allowing exists discs rotate relative to each other, to create on the surface of the cylinder formed by the data disks, the desired pattern, which after twisting turning disks is eliminated by rotating the cylindrical joint rings in the direction opposite to twisting gum

as well as the fact that colored beads on an elastic band, fixed on the periphery of the disk with a strong thread, are used as multi-colored elements,

as well as the fact that small faceted beads on an elastic band, fixed on the periphery of the disk with a strong thread, were used as multi-colored elements.

Convenience in operation of the proposed design is achieved mainly due to the presence of a cylindrical hinge, which is absent in the analogues.

The proposed puzzle design consists of a set of movable disks mounted on a sleeve that form a game cylinder, and two lateral disks, tightened with an elastic band passing inside the cylinder and covering the stationary rod on one side, and the cylindrical hinge ring on the other hand, due to the presence of central lateral holes drives.

Each movable disk, with a small gap mounted on the sleeve, has corrugated end surfaces and multi-colored elements rigidly fixed to the periphery.

The game consists in turning discs with corrugated end surfaces relative to each other to obtain the desired pattern on the surface of the game cylinder, formed by a combination of multi-colored elements.

To rotate the disks relative to each other, you need to stretch the elastic in different directions in the axial direction, while grabbing with your fingers the right number of disks along with the side disks, and then, turning them, fix a new position, loosening the elastic. When the discs are closed, the hollows of one disc should be opposite the protrusions of the other.

Corrugated end surfaces allow step-by-step rotation and fixing of discs. The step size corresponds to the size of a multi-colored element on the periphery of the disk. Thus, the multi-colored elements of adjacent disks in the closed position are shifted by half a step.

The number of multi-colored elements rigidly fixed on the periphery of the disc should be even and the same for all discs with corrugated end surfaces, the original pattern should be repeated a whole number of times on the surface of the game cylinder.

When the discs are rotated relative to each other together with the side discs, the gum is twisted.

In the closest analogue, it was proposed to eliminate this twisting with the help of rods with balls at the ends by turning them in the direction opposite to the twisting (clockwise or counterclockwise).

The balls at the ends of the rods were intended to facilitate rotation and to make it smooth by reducing friction between the rods and the surfaces of the side discs. In this case, the side disks should have been made of translucent plastic, which would allow to control the state of the gum.

In the proposed design, the elimination of the twisting of the gum occurs without the participation of the player due to the presence in the design of a cylindrical hinge with a ring covered by the gum. Due to the presence of a cylindrical hinge, there is also no need to control the condition of the gum, and the side discs may be opaque.

From the existing level of technology, a device of the same purpose is not known, characterized by features identical to the essential features of the proposed utility model, which indicates its compliance with the patentability condition - novelty.

Utility Model Implementation

The implementation of the utility model is illustrated in FIG. 1, which shows a toy in section. The toy consists of several disks with corrugated end surfaces and multi-colored elements on the periphery - pos. 1, bushings with side discs - pos. 2, a fixed rod - pos. 3, gum - pos. 4, cylindrical hinge - pos. 5

Discs with corrugated end surfaces pos. 1 mounted on a sleeve with side discs pos. 2 and pulled together with an elastic band pos. 4, which covers on one side the fixed rod pos. 3, on the other hand - a ring of a cylindrical hinge pos. 5. The puzzle toy is in a static state when the disks with corrugated end surfaces are closed.

During the game, to obtain the desired pattern, stretch the gum, grabbing with your fingers the right number of disks along with the side disks, and then, turning them relative to each other, fix a new position by loosening the elastic. When the discs are closed, the hollows of one disc should be opposite the protrusions of the other.

In FIG. 2 shows a disk with corrugated surfaces, which consists of 2 identical corrugated disks pos. 1, interconnected by thread or glue so that the protruding parts of one disk coincide with the protruding parts of the other. The cavities formed in this case serve as a place for installing multi-colored elements of poses. 2.

In FIG. 3 shows a sleeve with one of the side discs.

In the manufacture of toys, a game cylinder with a sleeve and one of the side disks is first assembled. A cylindrical joint is mounted on the side disc. The ring of the cylindrical hinge moves through the hole into the sleeve and is covered by an elastic band, which is sewn together, forming a loop. Pulling the gum, it is pulled through the hole of the second side disc and fixed with a rod.

In FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the rod, the ring of the cylindrical hinge, and the rubber band covering them.

The device operates as follows.

Stretch the gum while grabbing the right number of discs with your fingers along with the side discs, and then turning them to fix a new position by loosening the gum. When the discs are closed, the hollows of one disc should be opposite the protrusions of the other, and the multi-colored elements of the adjacent discs in the closed position are shifted by half a step. Repeat this action as many times as necessary to obtain the desired pattern. The twisting of the elastic is compensated by turning the ring of the cylindrical hinge inside the sleeve without the participation of the player in this process.
