RU18491U1 - MECHANICAL PUZZLE (No. 1) - Google Patents

Abstract

A mechanical puzzle in the form of a cube 3 • 3 • 3 (1), comprising seven elements - catfish cubes, characterized in that through all holes are made in it through holes connecting the two faces of each element, and the elements are placed on a circular cord passed through the above holes in the sequence 2, 4, 6, 1, 3, 7, 5, while the through holes in the elements are made in accordance with the following table:

Description

The proposed utility model relates to the field of games, in particular, to mechanical puzzles.

Currently, despite the widespread development of electronic games, mechanical games, in particular puzzles, still play an important role in the development of the younger generation, and are one of the most important developmental tools.

Among a wide variety of mechanical puzzle games, cubes of Soma III occupy one of the important places. A simple and at the same time extremely interesting constructive solution for assembling a cube of seven elements, which for decades has caused unflagging interest in children and youth audiences

A more complex technical solution is known for this direction / 2 /, the so-called English cube, which consists of 6 elements containing 2,3,4,5,6 and 7 cubes, respectively.

But, despite a slight increase in gaming interest, this direction has traditionally and no longer carries qualitative leaps in complexity, new game situations with elements from cubes.

A technical solution / 3 / is known when new, volumetric elements - plates are introduced into the structure of elements from cubes

This combination of cubes with plates made it possible to create a number of interesting puzzles that have increased gaming interest compared to puzzles made only of cubes.

However, this direction does not give new qualitative leaps in increasing the developing interest in the game, since the methods for assembling the puzzle are the same as before

As a prototype of the proposed utility model, the design described in source 1 is taken as the closest in technical essence

The task that the author posed while developing the proposed utility model was to, leaving the puzzle elements unchanged, with the help of simple constructive means, obtain a new qualitative leap in gaming interest

This problem is solved in the proposed mechanical puzzle in the form of a 3x3x3 cube, including seven elements, / the first of which is a figurative element of three cubes, which forms the basis of the rest, which are various combinations of the first with an additional cube / in each of which are made

through holes connecting the two faces of each element and all elements are placed on a circular cord passed through the above holes in the sequence 2,4,6,1,3,7,5, while the through holes in the elements are made in accordance with the following table of coordinate faces :

Item numbers1234567

The numbers of the faces of the base and the additional cube M43S9.11 12.20 10.19 15.16 5.15 18.20 18.20

New elements of the proposed utility model are:

-performance in 7 elements of through holes connecting the two faces of the element to each other;

-placing elements through holes on a circular cord;

- placement of elements on a circular cord in the manner described above.

The proposed mechanical puzzle is presented in FIGS. 1,2,3,4,5, where:

in FIG. 1 presents a puzzle - a cube assembly;

figure 2 presents a diagram of the formation of elements 2-7 of the puzzle from the base / first element / and an additional cube

-Fig. 3 presents elements 1-7 with through holes 8 on the cord

- figure 4 presents the elements of the puzzle on the cord 9 in the order corresponding to the author's intention.

in FIG. 5 shows the first element / base / and an additional cube with digital designations of faces 1-14 and 15-20, respectively.

The essence of the task that the player must solve is to assemble the cube disassembled into elements so that there are no cord loops between the elements inside the cube, while loops are allowed outside the cube.

After purchase, the cube is disassembled into elements 1-7. and then the player playing by trial and error collects a cube in accordance with the above condition.

The problem can be solved as shown in FIG. 1.

In the author's version, the elements 1-7 are glued from plastic plates of the blanks, therefore, the through holes 8 are obtained by making holes in the necessary plates even before gluing / assembly / elements.

But it is possible to perform elements 1-7 from cast billets, where when they are connected, a through hole 8 is formed in the solid / non-hollow / element.

Technologically, the manufacture of this game is not difficult.

Testing the prototypes of the game showed a significantly increased gaming interest in solving the puzzle, because the cord, in general the element known in games, introduced new unexpected situations into the cube assembly, the solution of which is interesting and extraordinary.

Currently, industrial development of the proposed puzzle is being carried out at one of the Moscow enterprises.
