ALFRED M. DAVIS, OF FREETOWN, MASSACHUSETTS.
PUZZLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 3, 1907.
Application filed July 8. 1907- Serial No. 382.620.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED M. DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Freetown, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Puzzles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to puzzles.
The object of this invention is the provision of asimple and inexpensive puzzle, adapted to be made entirely out of two pieces of wire, which will be small and compact so it may be readily carried in the pocket or manipulated by the user and which will be mystifying and difiicult of solution.
The invention is set forth fully hereinafter and its novel features are recited in the appended claims.
The accompanying drawing shows the complete puzzle and the manner of solution.
. A single piece of wire 1 is bent into starshape, the points thereof being of any de sired number, preferably seven or nine. One end of the wire is brazed or soldered at 2 to the stretch 3 and the other end (shown by dotted lines) is brazed or soldered at 4 to the stretch 5, so that the wire 1' is endless. Where the parts of the wire 1 cross at the points 6 they are not connected in any manner.
A substantially triangular key 7 made from asingle piece of wire whose ends are brazed or soldered together at 8 hangs freely from one of the points 9 and is preferably provided with an arched or curved side 10 to facilitate movement thereof.
The solution is as follows: The key is 'turned as shown by the curved arrows until the corner part 11 is slipped over the point 9" whereupon the curved or arched side 10 will be located above and against the stretch 12. The key may then be advanced as shown by the dotted positions A B until it is finally removed as shown atC. Movements the reverse of the above will re-position the key.
. Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A puzzle comprising an endless member having parts crossing each other and provided with points, and an endless member engaged therewith.
2. A puzzle comprising an endless member of substantially star shape having. parts crossing each other, and an endless member engaged therewith.
3. A puzzle comprising an endless member of substantially star shape having parts crossing, but entirely free from, each other, and an endless member engaged therewith.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ALFRED M. DAVIS.
