PUZZLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 22, 1907.
Application tiled October 29, 1906. Serial No. 341,032.
' To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, RHODA M. ROEssNER, a citizen oi the United States, residing in the borough oi Bronx, city, county, and State oi New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Puzzles, of which the following is a specification.
My improvements relate to the class oi obstacle puzzles in which the solution consists in detaching one article irom another without severing the connecting cord.
The invention consists in the specilic construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed In the accompanying drawings, Figure l, is an elevation of my improved puzzle; Fig. 2, is an elevation ot the reverse side of the perforated plate, also illustrating the manipulation and solution of the lower portion oi the puzzle.
P, is a perforated plate oi any desired con'liguration and made of any `suitable material, preferably though not necessarily sti il, formed with the series oi holes l, 13,4, 5,6and 7.
B is a bead or equivalent article strung upon the doubled portion ol' the endless cord C which is intel'- laced around and through the plate P as shown in the drawings.
Strung upon theI opposite or free portion oi the endless cord G is a ring or similar object oi ilexible material. One or more ot these objects F may be used as preferred and they may be ot any desired shape or configuration provided they have a relatively large Central opening f, and relatively narrow continuous rims f shown in the drawings, in the form ot rings through which is looped the` central portion of a string or flexible cord S, to the cud of which are attached rigid symbolic objects A, A. of greater size than the internal diameter ol' the ring R, through which the ends oi the string S have been passed prior to the attachment of the rigid objects A, A.
The assembling of the perforated iiexible rings or like objects F on the string S, ring R and rigid objects A, will be clearly understood from the above. The other parts may be assembled before the ends of the endless cord C are united. Thus, bring the ununited ends of the cord (l together and pass them through the hole l. from the iront of the plate P leaving the extremity c, of the loop on the front side ot' the plate where it may beheld tempor: rily by hand. Next pass the ends ot' the cord C through the opening 2 to the front of the plate, over the latter and return to the back of the plate P through the hole 3; thence over the back oi the plate to and through hole 4 to the l'ront of the plate; thence (first passing bead or equivalent object B over loop c) pass the ends of the cord C through its I prefer to use two of these ilexible objects F as' loop c, and then through hole 5 to the back of the plate, down the same to and through the hole 6 and over the face of the plate to and through hole 7 after which the ends are separated, passed through the flexible rings F and united to form the endless cord C.
It is to be understood in this connection that I herein use the words cord7 and string to designate any suitable flexible equivalent thereof, as a wire, fine chain, or the like.
The object of the puzzle is twofold. First, to release the rigid objects A, A, from the ring R and ilexible perforated objects F, F, without cutting the string S or severing the other parts; and secondarily, to release the bead or equivalent B without severing the endless cord C. The rst solution is attained by doubling the lexible objects F and passing them through the ring R as indicated in Fig. 2, after which the rigid objects may be readily passed through and treed from said iexible objects F.
The second solution is attained as follows: First draw up the cord through the several holes so as to atiord s'uilicient slackness behind the loop c, to admit of manipulation, then pass the loop c, through the hole 5 to the rear oi the plate, then return to front oi plate through hole 6, then back through hole 7 when the loop c, may be passed over the objects F (and the string S, ring R and rigid objects A is still attached to the flexible objects F) land Withdrawn through holes 7, 6, and 5, when the bead or equivalent B may be withdrawn. By reversing this process of manipulation the parts may be again assembled or set in position with relation to each other, so that the puzzle may be used repeatedly.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,
l. ln a puzzle of the character designated, the combination with a flexible object formed with a relatively large aperture and narrow continuous rim, of a flexible cord or equivalent passing through said flexible object and throng-l1 a ring of relatively small diameter, said ring, and rigid objects attached to said flexible cord, of greater width than the internal diameter of said ring, for the purpose described.
2. In a puzzle of the character designated, the combination of a iiexible object formed with a relatively large aperture and narrow continuous rim, a flexible cord or equivalent passing through said flexible object and through a ring of relatively small diameter, said ring, rigid objects attached to said flexible cord of greater width than the internal diameter of saidring, an endless cord passing through a loop formed in itself and through said flexible object and laced through a series of holes in a plate, said perforated plate, and a bead or equivalent object strungl upon the loop in the endless cord, for the purpose described.
