The inventive device volumetric logical puzzle 1 (hereinafter referred to as the device) is made in the form of a polyhedron, namely in the form of a tetrahedron, and contains: angular 2, rib 3 and intermediate 4 blocks; a central cross 5 with four protrusions 5a; magnets 6 mounted inside said blocks 2, 3, 4; mounting devices 7 (see figures 1-5).

Corner 2, rib 3 and intermediate 4 blocks have the shape of polyhedrons and are made movable in device 1. Corner 2 and intermediate blocks 4 are connected to the central cross 5 and are made with the possibility of rotation (rotation).

Each of the corner blocks 2 is made in the form of a tetrahedron and contains in the lower part a cylindrical protrusion 8 directed towards the location of the central cross 5 to be installed in the hole 9 of the intermediate unit 4, while a through hole is made in the specified cylindrical protrusion 8 to accommodate the mounting device 7. Installation a cylindrical protrusion 8 in the hole 9 minimizes the weakening of the structure, which increases the reliability of the device 1.

Each of the rib blocks 3 has a housing 12 made in the form of a tetrahedron and a protrusion 10 for interacting with two intermediate blocks 4. Two sections 10a of the protrusion 10 are located on opposite sides of the housing 12 and are intended for installation in two recesses 11 of two intermediate blocks 4 (see Fig. 6, 9), which allows you to hold the rib blocks 3 in the device 1. The mating surfaces of the sections 10A and the recesses 11 are made cylindrical for the smooth movement of the protrusions 10 in the recesses 11 during the rotation of the intermediate blocks 4.

Each of the protrusions 5a of the central cross 5 is connected to the corner 2 and the intermediate 4 blocks by means of the fastening device 7. In this case, the specified fastening device 7 passes through the hole of the cylindrical ledge 8 of the corner block 2 and the hole 13 of the intermediate block 4. These angular 2 and intermediate 4 blocks are made with the possibility of rotation (rotation) relative to the specified mounting device 7 and the connected protrusion 5A of the Central cross 5.

As fastening devices 7, screws and / or bolts or similar devices performing a similar function with a similar result can be used.

Each of the intermediate blocks 4 on one of its faces may contain a protrusion 14, in which a recess 15 is made for installing the end portion of the protrusion 5a of the central cross 5 (see Fig. 6), which minimizes the weakening of the structure and increases the reliability of the device 1.

In each corner block 2, magnets 6 are installed on the inner surface of the face 2a. The specified face 2a is mated with its outer surface with the face 4a of the intermediate unit 4. In a specific embodiment, three recesses are made in the body of the face 2a, each of which has a magnet 6 (see Fig. 4).

In each intermediate block 4, magnets 6 are installed on the inner surface of the face 4a. The specified face 4a is mated by its outer surface with the face 2a of the corner block 2. In a specific embodiment, three cylindrical protrusions 16 are made on the inner surface of the face 4a, each of which has a magnet 6 (see Fig. 7).

In each intermediate block 4, magnets 6 are mounted on the inner surface of the three faces 4b. Each of these faces 4b is mated with its outer surface with the face 3a of the rib block 3, and the three faces 4b of the intermediate block 4 are mated with the faces 3a of the three rib blocks 3. Each of the magnets 6 mounted on the inner surface of the face 4b is located in the groove bounded by two opposite protrusions 17 made on the specified inner surface of the face 4b (see Fig. 8).

In each rib block 3, magnets 6 are mounted on the inner surface of the two faces 3a. Each of these faces 3a is mated with its outer surface with the face 4b of the intermediate unit 4. Each of the magnets 6 mounted on the inner surface of the face 3a is located in a groove bounded by two opposite protrusions 18 made on the specified inner surface of the edge 3A (see Fig. 9).

In a specific example of execution, each of the protrusions 17, 18, limiting the groove in which the magnet 6 is located, is made in the cross section of an L-shaped.

The above-described angular 2, rib 3 and intermediate 4 blocks are prefabricated parts, parts of which can be connected to each other using protrusions 19 located in the holes 20 of the protrusions 21, or using flattened protrusions (not shown in the figures) installed in slit-like holes.

The above-described design of the angular 2, rib 3 and intermediate 4 blocks allows you to reliably hold the magnets 6 in the structurally specified zones of their location.

The above magnets 6 of the device 1 can be additionally fixedly connected to the inner surface of the faces 2a, 3a, 4a, 4b by means of an adhesive, which virtually eliminates their detachment from these faces.

As the magnets 6, permanent magnets can be used.

In a specific embodiment, the device 1 contains four fastening devices 7 and fourteen blocks: four corner 2, six rib 3 and four intermediate 4. In the assembled position of the device 1, each of the protrusions 5a of the central cross 5 is fixedly connected to the corresponding fixing device 7, in particular a screw on which one corner 2 and one intermediate 4 blocks are mounted, conjugated by their faces 2a and 4a, respectively. While this screw is located in the hole of the cylindrical protrusion 8, installed through the hole 9 inside the intermediate unit 4; the specified screw is also located in the hole 13 of the indicated intermediate unit 4 and is fixedly connected to the protrusion 5a, the end portion of which is located in the recess 15 of the protrusion 14 of the specified intermediate unit 4. The rib blocks 3 interact with the intermediate blocks 4, namely, sections 10a of the protrusions 10 of the rib blocks 3 are installed in the recesses 11 of the intermediate blocks 4, while the three faces 4b of each intermediate block 4 are conjugated with the faces 3a of the rib blocks 3.

To solve the game, the user must rotate the corner blocks 2, as well as the layers, each of which is formed by an intermediate block 4 and its three edge 3 and corner 2 blocks, so that, in the end, each of the faces of the device 1 becomes one-color.

During the game, the mating faces 2a and 4a, 4b and 3a, respectively, of the angular 2, intermediate 4 and rib 3 blocks are attracted to each other by means of magnets 6, which ensures the smooth rotation of the above blocks 2 and layers of the device 1. When the magnets 6 are mated faces 2a and 4a, 4b and 3a are as close to each other as possible, almost automatically, a clear alignment of the edges of the device 1, which will allow the player not to spend extra time on the specified alignment and, thereby, reduce the time for assembly of devices a 1.

The above construction is distinguished by its reliability, allows to increase the assembly speed of the device 1, minimizes the possibility of loss of rib blocks 3 from the device 1.
