摘要:
A spherical puzzle comprising a first semi-spherical shell engaged with a second semi-spherical shell. Each shell has four triangular panels held by a plate with the four triangular panels on each plate forming an intersecting track running perpendicularly along an x and y axis. The track on the x axis of the second semi-spherical shell forms a continuous track with the track on the x axis of the first semi-spherical shell and the track on the y axis of the second semi-spherical shell forms a continuous track with the track on the y axis of the first semi-spherical shell. A plurality of sliding tiles forming a predetermined pattern or design are placed on the intersecting tracks. One semi-spherical shell can rotate relative to the other semi-spherical shell about an equatorial axis.

A puzzle device has a round body including at least two intersecting endless runways formed around its external surface and a plurality of intersecting points formed in the intersecting runways; and a plurality of game pieces slidably retained in the runways. The game pieces are moved from one runway to the other runway via the intersecting points so as to position the game pieces in a desired arrangement.

A game assembly in the form of a puzzle comprising a plurality of pieces disconnected from one another but successively positioned and collectively movable along the length of a track structure. Opposite exposed surfaces of the pieces are contrastingly designated such as by different colors or the like and wherein the pieces may be selectively positionable into a predetermined array, for purposes of solving the puzzle, by temporarily disconnecting segments of the track structure along with the pieces thereon and repositioning the track segments into a different operable position from an original operable position.

A game-puzzle comprising four polygonal (e.g., triangular prism-shaped) members and a plurality of pairs of colored indicia members. One of the prism-shaped members serves as a central "stationary element"; each of the other triangular prism-shaped members is rotatably fastened to one of the faces of the stationary prism-shaped member. Each of the remaining faces of the rotatable prism-shaped members is provided with means for retaining up to two of the indicia members. In the exemplary embodiment, the indicia members are colored tabs having a flanged foot and the means for retaining the indicia members is a pair of slots in the faces of the prism-shaped members. The slots in neighboring prism-shaped members are aligned. The puzzle is solved by sliding tabs from one face of a prism-shaped member to an adjacent face of an adjacent prism-shaped member and by rotating prism-shaped members by 180.degree. relative to each other intermediate such sliding actions.

A manipulatable game which includes a spherical support member which has a plurality of circular tracks extending about the surface thereof which intersect each other at right angles. Movable members are carried on the tracks for being rotated about the spherical support member and shifted from one track to another at a junction of two of the tracks so that the movable members can be arranged according to predetermined patterns. The movable members are of different colors and have characters of the alphabet printed thereon.

A three-dimensional platform comprising a tessellated surface of pieces, each piece comprising a top and sides. The pieces comprise a fixed square piece having at least two opposing sides orientated acutely relative to the top to define a fixed square retention surface. The remaining surfaces orientate substantially perpendicular relative to the top. There is a mobile square piece having at least two opposing sides orientated obtusely relative to the top to define a mobile square retention surface. The remaining surfaces are oriented substantially perpendicular relative to the top. A mobile triangular piece having all sides orientated obtusely relative to the top. The fixed square retention surface indexes only with either the mobile square retention surface or the triangular piece surface to effect retention of the pieces to define the three-dimensional platform.

A chess puzzle provides a chess-type playing surface which has a plurality of spaces located on it. A fixed playing piece is indicated on one or more of these spaces. A placement mechanism associated with the playing surface allows indicating insertable playing pieces on one or more of a selected group of these spaces. The puzzle is solved by manipulating the placement mechanism to indicate insertable playing pieces on the particular spaces where, combined with the fixed playing pieces, a partially-played chess game is presented which satisfies a predetermined criteria.
摘要:
A geometrical three dimensional puzzle containing grouping of spheres which can be differentiated from each other by texture using the sense of touch, or color and shading by using the sense of sight. The open framework can be made of linear rods intersected perpendicularly by ribs. The open framework may also be made of curved rails. At east one void allows for the spheres to be manipulated and moved around within the open framework. The object of the game is to fill each leg with like colored spheres.

The puzzle apparatus of the present invention presents a challenging logic-based puzzle wherein the user attempts to arrange tiles within one or more chambers until a particular predetermined pattern is achieved (the solution). The apparatus and game play methodology of the present invention differs from that in the prior art in that as the tiles are slid from one matrix column to another the moved tile covers the existing tile located in the matrix column the moving tile is being traveling toward, while the matrix column the moving tile is exiting replaces the moving tile with one located directly underneath it in the matrix column thereby cause a new, unknown tile to replace the moving tile. This added dimension makes it very challenging to arrange the tiles to display a predetermined pattern and achieve the solution. The major elements consist of rigid housing creating a matrix of columns (also referred to as chambers), each chamber containing a base piece attached to a compression spring, multiple sliding tiles, and retaining buttons. The slidable and stackable tiles are interchangeable and relatively arrangeable to produce a solution to the puzzle. The solution includes a predetermined pattern as viewable by the user when looking generally toward the opening of the housing. A method for solving a puzzle in accordance with the invention is also provided.
摘要:
A spherical puzzle device having two types of surface members positioned around an inner support sphere, wherein the position of each surface member can be moved to the position of any like member. The device may be divided into three sets of opposing domes, with each set of opposing domes being separated by an equatorial band. Thus, both types of surface members can be repositioned by rotating the opposing domes. Further, the domes may be rotated in increments of ninety degrees, after which a different set of domes may be maneuvered. The present puzzle also includes a structure for complete disassembly and reassembly by the user.
