Abstract
An improved jigsaw puzzle includes puzzle pieces that each have a drawing surface such as high quality drawing paper surface. The puzzle pieces are held within a casing, which has a cover lid pivoted at one end of the casing for opening and closing a space within the casing. The space is wide enough to hold the puzzle pieces whether they are assembled or disassembled, and a puzzle frame for holding the puzzle pieces assembled therein. A resilient spacer such as a sponge like material is interposed between the puzzle pieces and the casing. The resilient material compresses when the puzzle pieces are arranged in the case in a jumbled manner, overlapping one another, and the cover lid is closed. The puzzle can therefore be drawn on, disassembled and assembled within the casing without losing any pieces and while displaying the drawing.
Description
- This invention relates to a jigsaw puzzle and more particularly to a jigsaw puzzle with a blank drawing surface where the purchaser or other user may draw pictures, characters, massages and abstract images, and where a special packaging is provided for the puzzle.
- There are several different types of jigsaw puzzles on the market. One of the most popular type of jigsaw puzzles includes a large number of small irregularly cut pieces that are to be fitted together to form a picture. The whole picture is printed on individual ones of the pieces with the conventional printing technique. For the purchaser of the jigsaw puzzle, it is fun assembling the jumbled jigsaw pieces into a complete picture. Other types of jigsaw puzzles are printed with a monotonous pattern, a single color, or a graded color to make the puzzles more difficult to put together. Those types of puzzles are produced in large quantity on a commercial basis and are not therefore individualized for the needs of particular persons.
- One type of personalized jigsaw puzzle is suggested in U.S. Pat. No. 4,612,220, entitled “Jigsaw Message Pads,” which shows a blank puzzle surface of plain white or other color paper, or a paper bearing unobtrusive decorative elements, for writing a message like a greeting card. However, the prior jigsaw puzzle has only a simple writing surface for writing messages, so that the purchaser may not draw a picture or a combined message and picture or a complicated picture. Moreover, this jigsaw message pad uses a cardboard folder fitted with an open sleeve. However, this open sleeve casing is not convenient for the purchasers of the jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw sheet is inserted into the open sleeve together with a separate backing sheet. Because the sleeve is open, the puzzle can slip out if the folder is held upside down or when the folder is being sent. In addition, the puzzle and its backing sheet are two separate items, so when the purchasers want to play with it, they must both be withdrawn very carefully and later replaced very carefully into the narrow opening of the sleeve. It would be difficult to keep these puzzle pieces from coming apart. Moreover, there is no provision for accommodating the pieces when they are disassembled and jumbled up.
- Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide an improved jigsaw puzzle and packaging that addresses the above and other issues.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved jigsaw puzzle with drawing surface.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a jigsaw puzzle with a blank drawing surface where the purchaser or other user may draw pictures, characters, massages and abstract images.
- It is still another object of the present invention to provide a jigsaw puzzle with a blank drawing surface that may be accommodated into an easy-to-use and easy-to-assemble casing.
- According to one preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an improved jigsaw puzzle which comprises puzzle pieces each having a drawing surface such as high quality drawing paper surface, a casing with a cover lid pivoted at one end of the casing for opening and closing a space within the casing, said space being wide enough to hold the puzzle pieces whether assembled or disassembled, a puzzle frame for holding the puzzle pieces assembled therein, and a resilient spacer interposed between the puzzle pieces and the casing.
- The above and further objects and novel features of the present invention will more fully appear from the following detailed description when the same is read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a jigsaw puzzle according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the jigsaw puzzle shown in FIG. 1 when a cover lid is open;
- FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of the jigsaw puzzle shown in FIG. 1 when the cover lid is half closed;
- FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of the jigsaw puzzle shown in FIG. 1 when the cover lid is fully closed; and
- FIG. 5 shows samples of drawings on the jigsaw puzzle shown in FIG. 1.
- Referring to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a jigsaw puzzle according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention. The jigsaw puzzle illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a number of
puzzle pieces 11 of cardboard or other suitable material, each having a blankdrawing paper surface 12 instead of a printed surface. The puzzle pieces are initially assembled so that they form a drawing surface. The purchaser or other user of the jigsaw puzzle may enjoy drawing a picture, doing calligraphy or making an abstract image on the blank drawingpaper puzzle surface 12, just like painting on a blank paper sheet or canvas. Upon completion of the drawing, thepuzzle pieces 12 may be disassembled and then can be played with and reassembled like a conventional jigsaw puzzle. - The
cardboard puzzle surface 12 of the jigsaw puzzle is covered with select high-quality drawing paper, which is produced by a paper mill specifically for expressing images, such as watercolor paper, cotton bristle drawing paper, charcoal papers, rice paper, canvas-textured paper, or various other kinds of papers suitable for various drawing tools. The purchaser of the jigsaw puzzle may use their favorite drawing tools, such as colored pencils, crayons, pastel, felt markers, pen and ink, airbrush, watercolor and brushes, airbrush, oil or acrylic paint, and so on. - The high-quality
drawing paper surface 12 gives a wider range of use for the purchaser of the jigsaw puzzle to create his or her own unique picture puzzle rather than merely writing a message on it like a simple greeting card. Other appropriate surfaces specifically suited to various particular drawing instruments may also be used for the jigsaw puzzle of the present invention. - The jigsaw puzzle of small sizes (like the size of compact disc or CD plastic casings or jewel boxes) according to the present invention can be given as a gift, used as a novelty or promotional piece for an individual or a company, or other possible applications. It can be used by anyone who has an idea or image to be communicated, or just for the fun of it. In addition, the jigsaw puzzle can have a relatively small size and relatively small number of pieces so that it is appropriate for children as educational material as well as to encourage their artistic sense while they have fun making and exchanging picture jigsaw puzzles that they created.
- On the other hand, the jigsaw puzzle can have a relatively large size with larger numbers of puzzle pieces for use by professional artists or amateurs. These could be for fun or for more serious expressions of their images. This benefit could serve as a new art medium for them.
- Returning to FIG. 1, there is also illustrated a clear
plastic casing 13 of a rectangular shape with fourside walls 14 and abottom wall 15. Note that the term “rectangular” as used herein is meant to include a square shape. Moreover, the casing need not be rectangular but may have other shapes as can practically be made including a circular shape or a multi-sided shape with more than four sides. Thecasing 13 includes a clearplastic lid 16 that is hinged on one side and has a simple safety lock (not shown) similar to the conventional CD casing. However, the casing can have any size as desired to fit the puzzle size. - This clear
plastic casing 13 solves problems with the prior art jigsaw puzzle with the open sleeve as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,612,220. The jigsaw puzzle of the present invention is not similar to the existing jigsaw puzzles, which are packaged as a group of jumbled pieces in a cardboard box, or the jigsaw puzzle as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,612,220 which uses a cardboard folder with an open sleeve. - The jigsaw puzzle of the present invention is presented as a whole, with the assembled puzzle pieces exactly fitted into a matching
cardboard frame 17. Thecardboard frame 17 is adhered to abacking sheet 18. The unit of thecardboard frame 17 and thebacking sheet 18 provides support to the assembledpuzzle pieces 11. The entire item is packaged in the clearplastic casing 13, similar to the conventional CD casings in one possible embodiment. On opening thelid 16, the drawing or painting can be applied immediately to the puzzle surface without disturbing the overall arrangement of thepuzzle pieces 11 and theframe 17. When thelid 16 is closed, the arrangement is maintained, even in the middle of preparing the drawing. Thelid 16 also serves to protect the drawing when closed, e.g., to allow paint or other inks to dry. Since thelid 16 is clear and transparent, the current state of the drawing can be seen and further development of it can be considered without even opening it. Thecasing 13 is easy to store, easy to assemble, easy to carry and easy to send. - On completion of the drawing, the
puzzle pieces 11 can be disassembled, jumbled and placed back in theplastic casing 13. Positioned underneath thecardboard frame 17 and thebacking sheet 18 is a layer ofresilient material 19, for example, soft sponge material, which makes the puzzle fill the box when it is assembled, but compresses to provide extra space when thepuzzle pieces 11 are disassembled, jumbled and inserted in theplastic casing 13. That is, when the puzzle is assembled, the height of the puzzle is less than the height of jumbled puzzle pieces that are placed in the casing in a manner such that some of the pieces are positioned on top of one another, partially or fully. Theresilient material 19 thus compresses to accommodate the additional height of the jumbled pieces. Thus the casing can be closed even in the middle of solving the puzzle and can be stored safely whether the puzzle is complete or incomplete. - Thus, all operations in regard to the jigsaw puzzle of the present invention can be performed without removing the
puzzle pieces 11 from theplastic casing 13. This provides added convenience for the user and prevents the loss of puzzle pieces. On the other hand, if the purchaser or other use wishes to put the assembled picture in a special frame for the wall or desktop, the construction of thecardboard frame 17 and thebacking sheet 18 will allow the whole of the jigsaw puzzle to maintain its shape safely. - The manufacture of the jigsaw puzzle according to the present invention can be achieved as follows: Special fine art drawing paper or other mediums are applied to the drawing surface of the jigsaw puzzle pieces instead of a printed image. The
cardboard frame 17 is die-cut in one piece with thepuzzle pieces 11, and then thecardboard frame 17 is adhered to thebacking sheet 18, while thepuzzle pieces 11 are kept separate from and on top of thebacking sheet 18 but nevertheless remain a unit within thecardboard frame 17. - The assembled
puzzle pieces 11 and thecardboard frame 17 together with thebacking sheet 18 is then placed and packaged on top of theresilient sponge layer 19, with theplastic lid 16 parallel with thebottom wall 15 of theclear plastic casing 13. Other materials for theresilient layer 19 may be rubber or plastic rubber. Moreover, the resilient layer may use low tension springs, such as circular compression springs, resilient metal strips and the like, which are suitably secured as needed to thebottom wall 15 of theclear plastic casing 13 and/or the underside of thebacking sheet 18 using glue or other appropriate means. - FIG. 2 shows a jigsaw puzzle according to the present invention when the
puzzle pieces 11 are assembled and thecover lid 16 remains open. Under this condition theresilient sheet 19 remains relax and uncompressed. FIG. 3 shows the jigsaw puzzle when thecover lid 16 is half closed. Theresilient sheet 19 remains relaxed and uncompressed. FIG. 4 shows the jigsaw puzzle when thecover lid 16 is completed closed, so that all of the disassembledpuzzle pieces 11 are accommodated in the internal space in theplastic casing 13. In this situation, theresilient sheet 19 is compressed. Under this condition, all of the disassembledpuzzle pieces 11 are pushed upward by the compressedresilient sheet 19, with no risk of the puzzle pieces slipping or sliding out of thecasing 13. - FIG. 5 illustrates a wide variety of pictures or messages that may be drawn on the writing
surface 12 of thejigsaw puzzle pieces 11. - Accordingly, it can be seen that the present invention provides an improved jigsaw puzzle that can be drawn on, disassembled and assembled within a casing without losing any pieces and while displaying the drawing. Moreover, the puzzle pieces can be stored securely in the casing even when disassembled due to the compression of a resilient layer in the casing. When the puzzle pieces are assembled the casing serves to hold the puzzle while also allowing viewing of the puzzle through the clear cover lid.
- While the invention has been described and illustrated in connection with preferred embodiments, many variations and modifications as will be evident to those skilled in this art may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and the invention is thus not to be limited to the precise details of methodology or construction set forth above as such variations and modification are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
