APPLICATION FILED MAR. 7. I916.
Patented Dec. 12, 1916.
Witnemm PUZZLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented nee. i2, rare.
Application filed March 7, 1916. Serial No. 82,710.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it knownthat I, MICHAEL Pnnnroonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, 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 improvements in puzzles, and particularly to puzzles formed from wire.
One object of the present invention is to provide a simple and cheap device of this character which will afford considerable amusement to both old and young in the solution thereof.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is an elevation of a puzzle made in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the first step in the solution of the puzzle. Fig. 3 is a view, in perspective, showing the next step in the solution of the puzzle. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the puzzle showing the last step, or removal of the ring.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 and 11 represent respectively, a .pair of members which are formed of wire of single lengths. Each of the members consists of a rectangular closed loop 12, from one side, at the center of which, extends a smaller closed loop 13. These loops are engaged in each other, as clearly shown, and each is separated from the larger loop by a bar 14. Engaged on these interlocked loops is a rectangular ring 15, formed of a single piece of wire, and having a stem 16 extending from the center of one end to a point adjacent the center of the opposite end, and through the longitudinal center of the ring.
In the operation of the device, the ring 15 and the members 10 and 11 are disposed as shown in Fig. 1. The ring 15 is then slipped along the member 13 toward the member 11, and properly manipulated so that the stem 16 projects through the loop 13. The ring is then slipped over one end of the loop 11 into the position shown in Fig. 3. It is then an easy matter to slide the ring down and off the lower end of the loop 11, as clearly shown in Fig. 4.
What is claimed is:
A puzzle comprising a pair of wire members each formed with a larger elongated loop and a smaller loop extending centrally from one side thereof, a transverse bar closing communication between the loops, the smaller loops being interengaged, and a ring engaged on the interengaged loops, said ring having a stem formed centrally on one end and extending to a point adjacent the center of the opposite end.
In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
MICHAEL PERRICONE.
