A puzzle comprises a plurality of puzzle pieces adapted to be assembled in a predetermined pattern on a puzzle tray to form a complete image. Each puzzle piece has a lenticular display providing first and second separately viewable lenticular images dependent upon a viewer's line of sight. The first lenticular image of each of the puzzle pieces forms a portion of the complete image. The second image of each of the puzzle pieces matches corresponding indicia provided on the puzzle tray. The puzzle tray and the puzzle pieces can be magnetic and the tray provided with a hanger or an easel to support the assembled puzzle in a display position.

A novel method of manufacturing collage puzzle pieces comprising the steps of: (a) providing a template in sheet form having a plurality of channels in the form of line perforations so as to define a plurality of puzzle pieces patterns, the channels being interrupted at selected locations so that at least one portion of each puzzle piece pattern is connected to at least one adjacent puzzle piece pattern; (b) mounting at least one selected graphic art object on an adhesive-coated substrate so as to form a workpiece; (c) assembling the workpiece and the template so that the template overlies the at least one graphic art object; (d) drawing a cutting blade along the full length of each channel defining a selected puzzle piece pattern so as to cut the underlying workpiece along lines conforming to the shape and location of the selected puzzle piece pattern, whereby to form a connected puzzle piece in the workpiece; (e) separating the template from the workpiece; (f) severing the connected puzzle piece from the workpiece; and (g) repeating steps (a) to (f) using the same template but workpieces that comprise different graphic arts objects, with each repetition of step (d) involving a different selected puzzle piece pattern, whereby a plurality of different puzzle pieces are formed. These puzzle pieces are combined to form a collage puzzle.

In a three-dimensional sheet puzzle, puzzle pieces fit together to form a shell held by magnetic attraction to a ferromagnetic base. The puzzle pieces are formed from sheet material which lies flat without strain. The shapes of the pieces are slightly distorted when applied to the spherical base. The puzzle is produced by first forming a flexible cover on the base, cutting the cover into pieces, flattening the resulting pieces, cutting pieces from the flexible flat sheet material conforming in shape to the flattened pieces cut from the spherical cover, fitting the pieces of flexible flat sheet material together on the base to recover the spherical base, depicting a puzzle design on the cover formed from the pieces of flexible flat sheet material, laying the pieces of flexible flat sheet material flat again, reproducing the flattened pieces on flexible flat sheet material and cutting out the reproduced pieces from the flat sheet material. In one embodiment, the puzzle is spherical and is another embodiment, the puzzle is curved along two surface dimensions with variation in the radii of curvature and specifically is in the form of a human head.

A geography puzzle and game platform for learning geography and geographical information is disclosed. The geography puzzle and game platform comprises a puzzle base and a plurality of puzzle pieces. The puzzle pieces are arranged on the puzzle base by a user and are held to the puzzle base by magnetism. The puzzle pieces are formed in the shape of specific land masses. Metallic material or magnetic material is provided on the puzzle pieces or the puzzle base to allow the puzzle pieces to magnetically attach to puzzle base. A display is provided for displaying puzzle and game information and a speaker is provided for emitting audio information related to the puzzle or game. Each puzzle piece comprises a puzzle piece identification for uniquely identifying the puzzle piece. A plurality of sensors in the puzzle base detects the puzzle piece identification of the puzzle piece.

A folding magnetic, reusable, game board, useful as a puzzle board and in combination with a jigsaw puzzle and associated instructional puzzle placard, having first and second foldable components and a non-foldable component, a magnetic playing surface for engaging magnetically attractive playing pieces, and a non-playing surface opposite the playing surface. A support system with an elongated member, and pivotal leg frame comprised of a pair of braced leg members useable to incline the game board above the horizontal plane upon which it rests. A cooperating closure mechanism with a first closure tab associated with the first foldable component, and a second closure tab associated with the second foldable component engageable with one another to maintain the game board in a closed position.
摘要:
A toy including a three-dimensional base having a magnetic sheet on its rearward side for temporary attachment to a metallic surface. The frontal surface of the base defines plural recesses each for the reception of a correspondingly shaped magnetic piece. The pieces each have a magnetic component for retention on a metallic surface when removed from base recess. When in place in a base recess, the magnetic components of the base and piece retain the latter in place. The pieces and their recess walls may be color coded to teach color recognition. A recess wall surface is provided with an image which differs from the image on other recess wall surfaces.
摘要:
A spherical puzzle for learning knowledge about geography is disclosed. The spherical puzzle comprises a sphere and a plurality of puzzle pieces. The puzzle pieces can be arranged on the sphere by a user and are held to the sphere by magnetism. The puzzle pieces are formed in the shape of specific land masses and/or water masses. A base is provided for holding the sphere and allows the sphere to be rotated or turned.
