Definitions

  • the invention relates to a logical mosaic-puzzle containing puzzle elements divided into three different groups and being of the same shape in each group, said puzzle-elements are arranged in five circles extending into each other, embedded in a frame consisting of two main parts, namely a casing and a clamping frame in the 0 assembled state of the puzzle.
  • mosaic-puzzles A great number of mosaic-puzzles are known.
  • the most general types of the mosaic-puzzles are based on 5 arrangement, with which different plates and elements are to be fitted to each other with the aim to produce some predetermined shape and configuration respectively.
  • Mosaic-puzzles with which the elements are starting from a given place have been considered as novelties; o a s the place of one element was left empty, whereby the desired formation, configuration can be obtained by shifting displacing the puzzle elements having been provided with numbers or other markings or simply different coloured.
  • planar puzzles 5 or toys with a planar effect are known, with which the motion of the elements is solved in a different way, e.g. by the transformation of spatial possibilities into the plane, so e.g. by means of balls, gears and pins by sliding elements into one another.
  • the invention relates to a logical mosaic-puzzle with a planar effect, with which the puzzle-elements - simultaneously a plurality of elements - can be turned to form desired configurations. By intermixing of the elements several variations may be obtained. By virtue of shape and easy manipulation, the mosaic-puzzle according to the invention is well suitable for the development of logical and combinative abilities. Similar solutions with different turnable elements are specified in the SU-PS 1238773, GB-PS 2 199 755 and

  • the disadvantage of the well-known mosaic-puzzle lies in that construction and facilitating of manipulation can be solved only to the detriment of playing.
  • the mosaic-puzzle according to the invention is most similar to the logical toys specified in the FR-PS A22489164 and FR-PS-Al 2 490 102.
  • the patent specifications mentioned above are based, setting out from three well-known circle configuration extending into each other, on the recogni ⁇ tion that three circular plates extending into each other sliced into curved, arcuated puzzle-plates can be rotated respectively to each other, thereby mosaic-puzzle plates get mixed up.
  • the disadvantages of logical toys specified in the patent specifications mentioned above lies in that their embodiment does not facilitates in security and good playing the increasing of the number of elements without detriment of playing because of spatial .elongation.
  • the present invention relates to a solution that facilitates the increasing of the number of puzzle-elements and thereby the increasing of the number of possible variations, whereby a more exciting and interesting puzzle can be formed. Accordingly, the solution according to the present invention differs essentially from the puzzles specified in the patent specifications mentioned above in consideration of its general effect, too.
  • the invention relates to a logical mosaic-puzzle consisting essentially of twenty-one elements where between two main elements, - namely a casing and a clamping frame - nineteen puzzle elements are fitted loosely to each other, said puzzle elements can be turned simultaneously along five circles extending into each other, about the axes of a circle each, further, one circle each consists of six puzzle elements out of which one element forms a part of three different circles, said puzzle elements are provided with projections connected to each other respectively, to the casing and the clamping frame, respectively grooves receiving said projections.
  • one puzzle element forming said three circles is essentially a curved triangular prism provided with projections on its all three sides.
  • thirteen puzzle elements belonging to the second group, connected to the puzzle element having a curved triangular shape and forming a part of the other circles form a prism having two convex-arcuated side and one concave- -arcuated sides connected with said convex-arcuated sides, said prism is provided with one projection on each convex-arcuated sides and connected to the adjacent puzzle element and grooves receiving the projections of the adjacent puzzle element.
  • the five puzzle elements belonging to the third group are connected to the puzzle elements belonging to the second group, filling the free sections of the casing resp. the clamping frame and forming parts of said circles form a prism having two concave-arcuated sides and one convex-arcuated side connected to said concave sides, said convex-arcuated side of said prism is provided with a projection connected to the corresponding parts of the casing resp. the clamping frame and its concave- -arcuated sides are provided with grooves receiving the projections of adjacent prisms.
  • each preferred embodiment of the mosaic-puzzle according to the invention are provided with different distinguishing colours or other markings, further the puzzle elements fitted into the casing and the clamping frame resp. forming with their arcuated sides fives circles can be turned simultaneously in respect to each other only from two spatial sides whereby the planar characteristics of said puzzle transform it into a solid.

  • Best Mode of Carrying out the Invention Referring to Figs. 1 to 6 , there is shown a preferred embodiment of the present invention (Fig.l) .
  • the mosaic-puzzle shown in Fig. 1 consists of twentyone components from which are two main parts, namely a casing 1 and a clamping frame 2 as well as nineteen movable puzzle elements 3, 4, 5 embedded in said casing 1 and clamping frame.
  • the puzzle elements 3, 4, 5 are divided into three separate groups, but the puzzle elements belonging to the same group are of the same shape.
  • the first group contains only one puzzle element 3 bordered with three arcs which are part of circles extending into each other at the same time, too.
  • This puzzle element 3 is essentially a regular curved triangular prism having arcuated sides 12, all three sides of said prism are provided independently with a projection 11 for securing the connection to the adjacent puzzle elements 4 /See Figs. 6 and II .
  • Puzzle elements 4 connected on one hand to the adjacent puzzle element 3 and on the other hand to the puzzle elements 5 form the second group, the number of said puzzle elements 4 is thirteen.
  • the puzzle elements 4 form essentially a prism having two convex-arcuated sides 13 and one concave-arcuated side 14 connected to these sides, the convex-arcuated sides 13 thereof are provided with projections 15 connected to the puzzle elements 5 and the concave- -arcuated side 14 is provided with grooves 19 receiving the projections 11 resp. 15 of the puzzle element 3 resp. the adjacent puzzle elements 4 /See Figs. 8 and 9/.

Abstract

Casse-tête/mosaïque logique comprenant des éléments de jeu divisés en trois groupes différents dans chacun desquels tous les éléments ont des formes identiques, lesdits éléments étant disposés de sorte qu'ils forment cinq cercles qui se chevauchent les uns les autres et qui sont enchâssés dans un cadre constitué de deux parties, c'est-à-dire d'un boîtier (1) et d'un cadre de serrage (2). Les dix-neuf éléments (3, 4, 5) formant les cercles chevauchants et montés de manière peu serrée peuvent tourner simultanément autour des axes des cercles par rapport aux autres cercles. Chaque cercle est constitué de six éléments (3, 4, 5) dont un (3) fait partie de trois cercles différents tandis que six éléments (4, 5) appartenant à deux groupes différents forment deux autres cercles. En outre, lesdits éléments (3, 4, 5) sont dotés de saillies (11, 15, 18) reliées au boîtier (1) et au cadre de serrage (2), ainsi que de rainures respectives (19, 20, 21) dans lesquelles s'engagent lesdites saillies (11, 15, 18).
