However, for instance due to unevenly distributed glue, for example a left side of the puzzle glued together may be heavier than its right side or vice versa. As a result, it may be hard to hang the framed puzzle straight.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de présentation de puzzle, un jeu de pièces, et un procédé. Ledit système de présentation de puzzle comporte une pluralité d'éléments de cadre permettant de former un cadre sensiblement rectangulaire ayant quatre bords latéraux (3-6), au moins deux bords latéraux opposés (3, 4) comportant de multiples éléments de cadre (7, 8) au moins partiellement. Au moins deux desdits multiples éléments de cadre (7, 8) sont agencés pour se chevaucher l'un l'autre au moins partiellement. La longueur de chacun desdits deux bords latéraux opposés est ajustable par l'ajustement d'un chevauchement mutuel entre lesdits au moins deux éléments. Le puzzle peut comporter des éléments allongés (7) comportant des connecteurs coopérants (14, 15) à des fins d'interconnexion de deux éléments allongés adjacents en cours d'utilisation. Les connecteurs sont conçus sous la forme d'éléments à encliqueter agencés de sorte que deux éléments allongés adjacents sont tirés l'un vers l'autre dans une direction longitudinale quand leurs éléments à encliqueter respectifs sont encliquetés ensemble, en particulier en donnant à au moins l'un desdits éléments à encliqueter une partie en forme de coin (17, 18).
