SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: A puzzle contains colored game elements that are mounted on six central game elements using 24 cylindrical segments. Game elements have protrusions and grooves that perform a fastening function. The device is a cube with 12 facets of game elements, at the corners of which there are eight free places for game elements. On each game element, four grooves are made for four cylindrical segments ;. The grooves for one layer of game elements form an annular surface. Four locks are made on the inside of each central game element. The game elements of each rib are colored in their own color and mounted rotatably around the central game elements and transferred from rib to rib. 8 ill.

Description

The invention relates to entertaining games and puzzles that can be used to play and learn through games.

There are a number of similar volumetric spinning puzzles.

One of them is the Moldavian pyramid made in the form of a triangular pyramid. The rotation of the game elements of the pyramid is carried out around a fixed central mounting unit. The disadvantages of the pyramid are: low occupation due to insufficient complexity, low color gamut of surface color.

The closest technical solution to the claimed puzzle is a volume puzzle - the Rubik's Cube. which is accepted as a prototype. The cube consists of a central mounting support node and three game layers fixed to it

elements mounted rotatably relative to each other in two perpendicular intersecting planes, the outer surfaces of the game elements being painted. The drawbacks of the Rubik's Cube puzzle are its low amusement, which is due to the limited complexity and low color gamut of the surface.

The aim of the invention is to increase amusement by complicating the puzzle and expanding the color scheme of the surface.

This is achieved by the fact that the known device comprising a central fixed mounting unit, colored game and 6 central elements mounted on the mounting unit with the possibility of their rotation in perpendicular intersecting planes, according to the invention, is equipped with a 24th cylindrical

with segments installed in the grooves made on the inner surfaces of the central elements, 24 spring-loaded locks installed in the corners on the inner surface of the central elements, each groove element has four grooves in the shape of a triangular prism and one protrusion having the shape two triangular prisms with combined bases, pressing two adjacent segments to the central elements with the ability to transfer game elements from edge to edge, game elements of each edge are colored They are in their color, and the device is made with free places for game elements at the corners.

The grooves on the central elements are designed in such a way that they form an annular surface for one layer of game elements on which cylindrical segments freely slide, and game elements resting on them spaaia around the axis of the central game element. In a stationary position, two adjacent cylindrical segments form guides along which game elements of one edge can be shifted to free places in the corners of the puzzle. The locks are a quadrangular pyramid mounted on a hollow cube. The spring installed inside the cube and the pyramid, when pressed on the pyramid from above, is compressed, the pyramid enters the cube, freeing the way for the game element to a free place in the corner of the puzzle. When the game elements are moved to a free corner place, the protrusion slides along the cylindrical segments, then presses on the flat surface of the quadrangular pyramid, two adjacent locks open 1c and the game element is placed on the free space of the puzzle. In a free place, the game element is held due to the protrusion entering the grooves of two game elements located on the edge of the perpendicular ribs that extend laterally to the free place of the puzzle. Then, by rotating the layer of game elements, in the grooves of which the protrusion of the element extended into a free space has entered, you can move the game element from one free place to another free place, and then move the game element to another edge. On each edge you need to collect game elements of the same color.

Comparison of the claimed device with the prototype shows that the claimed device differs from the known one in that it is equipped with 24 cylindrical segments installed in grooves made on the inner surfaces of the central elements, 24 spring-loaded locks installed in the corners on four grooves in the shape of a triangular prism and one protrusion having the shape of two triangular

0 prisms with combined bases, pressing two adjacent segments to the central elements with the possibility of transferring game elements from edge to edge, the device being made with its own poor places for game elements at the corners. Twelve colorful edges of the cube are selected in the center and the functions of rotation of the layers and transfer of elements from one edge to another are separated.

The claimed puzzle (Fig. 1) contains colored game elements 1 (Fig. 1), which are mounted on six central game elements 2 (Fig. 2) using 24 cylindrical segments 3 (Fig. 2). game element 1 is made

5, a protrusion 4 (Fig. 3) and grooves 5, which perform fastening functions. The Central game elements 2 are attached in the center to its axis of the Central mounting device 6 (Fig.4). The assembled device is a cube with 12 faces of game elements 1, and eight free spaces for game elements are made at the corners of the cube. On each central game element 2, four grooves are made for four cylindrical 5 segments 3, from its inner side. Slots for one layer of game elements 1 form an annular surface. From the inside of each central gaming

0 element at its corners made four. Lock 7 (figure 5).

The castle is a hollow pyramid, mounted on a hollow cube, inside the castle there is a spring 8 (Fig. 5).

5 The device operates as follows.

The rotation of the layer of ife elements 1 (Fig. 1) along the annular surface of the grooves on the central game elements 2 and the rectilinear movement when extended

game elements 1 to the free space of the puzzle is possible due to the fact that the cylindrical segments 3 during circular rotation together with the game elements, and when the game elements 1 are pulled out ne the free space of the puzzle, the cylindrical segments 3 are fixed and serve as guides for the game elements 1.

The protrusions 4 on the game elements 1 press the cylindrical segments 3 against the central game elements 2 as they slide along the annular surface of the grooves.

In a rectilinear motion, the protrusions 4 slide along the fixed cylindrical segments 3. The grooves 5 on the game elements 1 capture the protrusions 4 of the other game elements 1 when they fall into the free space of the puzzle. The grooves 5 and the protrusions 4 on the game elements 1 are made in such a way that they freely enter into each other.

The central game element 2 rotates around its axis of the central mounting device b together with the layer of game elements 1.

The locks 7 are designed to separate the function of rotation and the rectilinear movement of the game elements. Spring 8 extrudes the pyramid and holds it above the cube. The pyramid’s movement restraints prevent it from further movement under the influence of spring 8. During rotation, the cylindrical segments 3 do not press on the flat surface of the castle and it is in a free state, while in straight motion, the protrusion 4 on the game element 1 presses on the flat the surface of the castle, the spring B is compressed, the pyramidal part of the castle is insulated and the game element 1 is placed on the free space of the puzzle, the castle again takes its original position.

The game elements of each rib are painted in their own color.

The technical and economic advantage of the proposed technical solution compared to the prototype is that

it allows you to increase the fun, complexity of puzzles, expand the color gamut of the surface of puzzles. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A voluminous puzzle containing

a fixed central mounting unit, painted game and central elements mounted on the mounting unit with the possibility of their rotation in perpendicular intersecting planes,

characterized in that, in order to increase amusement, it is equipped with 24th cylindrical segments installed in grooves made on the inner surfaces of the six central elements, and 24th spring-loaded locks installed in the corners on the inner surface of the central elements, and each gaming element has four grooves in the shape of a triangular prism and one protrusion having the shape of two triangular prisms with combined bases, pressing two adjacent segments to the central element m, with

moving game elements from rib to rib, and the game elements of each rib are colored in their own color, while the device is made with free places at the corners under the game elements.
