PUZZLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed April 13, 1914:.
Serial No. 831,539.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK A. WONN- BERGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Union Course, in the county of Queens, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Puzzles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to puzzles.
The object of the invention resides in the production of a novel form of puzzle which will be amusing and entertaining and which will require skill to effect the solution thereof.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the puzzle showing same set for solution; Fig. 2, a perspective view of the puzzle showing the first step in the solution thereof, the last step in the solution being shown in dotted lines in this figure; Fig. 3, a perspective view of the puzzle showing the last step in full lines, and Fig. 4c, a view of the double cord employed in the puzzle.
Referring to the drawings the improved puzzle is shown as comprising a U-shaped frame A including arms 10 and 11, and an arm connecting portion 12. The free ends of the arms 10 and 11 are enlarged and provided with eyes 13 and 141 respectively, while the arm connecting portion 12 is provided with an eye 15. The improved puzzle further embodies a double cord 16 having a looped end 17 and a connected end 18.
To set the puzzle for solution the loop end 17 is engaged through the eye 14, then passed through the eye 12 and then through the eye 13. The connected end 18 of the cord 16 is then passed through the loop end 17 and then through the eye 15 when the setting of the puzzle for subsequent solution is complete.
The object of. the puzzle is to remove the cord 16 from the frame A while the connected end 18 thereof is held or secured to a suitable object such as the button hole of a coat. This removal of the cord 16 is effected by grasping the loop end 17 and passing same through the eye 15 as shown in Fig. 2. This loop end 17 is then spread and passed rearwardly and over the entire frame as shown in Fig. 3 with the side 17 of the loop in advance. The loop end 17 of the cord 16 can then be drawn through the eye 15, eye 18, eye 15, eye 14 when the frame A can be entirely withdrawn from the cord without detaching or releasing the connected end 18.
WVhen the frame A has been released it will be obvious that the cord can be again associated therewith without disengaging the cord from the buttonhole of the coat, thus providing a puzzle capable of two solutions.
What is claimed is A puzzle comprising a U-shaped frame having its arm connecting portion and the free ends of its arms provided with eyes respectively, a double cord including a loop end and a connected end, the loop end of the cord being engaged successively through the eye of one arm, the eye of the arm connecting portion and then through the eye of the other arm, and the connected end of the cord being then engaged through the loop end and through the eye of the arm connecting portion.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
FREDERICK A. WONNBERGER. Witnesses:
CHAS. E. SINGER, LILLIAN KONNFELD.
