Definitions

• the object of the utility model is a rehabilitation set of a sensory puzzle, particularly for children with psychomotor disorders of the development and performance of the central nervous system.
• the set is intended for occupational therapy, mainly of pre-school children who have difficulties in the area of the sensory integration of gross and fine motor skills, manifesting themselves in the disorders of the ability to communicate feelings and to build interpersonal relationships and in difficulties to integrate sensual impressions.
• the elements are selected as jigsaw puzzle pieces, that is, they are selected by shape and/or image of smaller elements and by combining and interconnecting them by their circular dovetails to a target format of a wider area.
• the dovetails have blanks and tabs in the shape of circular sectors with the central angle wider than 180°.
• the sensory puzzle rehabilitation set according to the present utility model consists of a central circular element and many concentric ring-shaped sectors.
• the ring-shaped sectors associated by the radii and the central angle are interconnected by the dovetails on the radially oriented edges forming at least two ring-shaped fields comprising the central element.
• the preferable embodiment of the set according to the model is the one in which the ring-shaped field adjoining the central element is formed of at least three ring-shaped sectors.
• the central element is connected on the perimeter by the dovetails with two ring-shaped sectors.
• the set according to the model may, after being assembled, have a form of a matt of one layer of elements with a uniform thickness, smaller than 0.02 of the diameter of the outer surface area of the circle formed of the set elements.
• the set can also be made of elements which, when assembled, form a cylinder body combined of one or several layers of elements with various thicknesses, the layers being laid one on another, ranging from 0.05 to 0.5 of the external diameter of the cylinder of the assembled set.
• the central element of the set may have a height equal to the cylinder height, or, in the multi-layer embodiment, its height is formed by the sum of the thicknesses of the elements of the particular layers.
• dovetail blanks into which a two-tab wedge is inserted.
• the set forming the cylinder body may contain elements of the particular layers in different colours.
• All elements of the set according to the model are made of elastomeric composite material which is safe for health.
• the set according to the model gives a rehabilitated child with psychomotor disorders a simple task to select and interconnect ring-shaped sectors in such a way that they form a circular matt or a cylinder body. At the same time, it allows the person conducting the therapeutic rehabilitation to select a form of the set with a simpler or more complex task as appropriate for the degree of the child's integration ability development delay.
• the rehabilitation set according to the utility model is presented on the drawing in two essential embodiments as a "small” set with simpler combinative tasks and a "large” set with the task level being slightly more difficult.
• the sets assembled of the so shaped - in the top view - elements may, depending on the thickness, form a flat matt or a cylinder body.
• the particular figures of the drawing present: Fig. 1 a top view of the "small” set , Fig.2 a top view of the "large” set, Fig.3 to Fig. 10 - the components of the "small” set cylinder body, and Fig.l 1 to Fig.l 9 - the cylinder body components according to the "large” set.
• the ring-shaped sectors constituting both fields are interconnected by circular dovetails 3 which are formed on the radial edges and tabs 3 b of which are introduced into blanks 3a of the adjoining sector.
• the elements of the small "set” made with the thickness gl smaller than 0.02 of the inner diameter Dl of the surface area of the circle assembled of the elements of that set form a flat matt. With the diameter D1 - 100 cm, thickness gl ⁇ 2 cm.
• the elements of the "small" set in the cylinder body embodiment are shown on Fig.3 to Fig. 10.
• the cylinder body can also be formed of many layers with thicknesses g2, g3, g4 and g5 overlaying one another and having the total height h.
• the ring-shaped sectors are interconnected with the dovetails 3 and, furthermore, the central element 1a has two dovetail blanks 3a trimmed on the perimeter according to the diameter.
• One blank is interlocked with the tab 3 b protruding from the inner surface of the ring-shaped sector 2f and the two-tab wedge 4 is inserted in the other one, two -tab wedge being also captured in the blank 3 a made on the side surface of the ring-shaped sector 2g.
• the "large" set - similarly to the "small” set - may have a form of a round matt or a cylinder.
