Abstract:
The main advantage lies in that both children and adults enjoy the game, the fluent course of the play excludes any tedious feature. The toy is of small size, it is easy to carry, the construction is simple, productional costs are low. The toy can be easily manipulated, the rules can be easily learnt. The main characteristic of the toy according to the invention lies in that on the carrier plate, on both sides of the vertical plane containing the horizontal axis of rotation, symmetrically therewith and arranged in equal mutual distances a series each of indentations are formed for receiving the bodies, furtheron the toy comprises bodies - serving as weights - of different sizes and weights, each group of weights containing even-numbered bodies. The toy is provided with a base supporting said carrier plate. Beside the axis of rotation, practically horizontally on both sides, there is a supporting edge or a supporting surface each for positioning and keeping the carrier plate in a horizontal and swinging-free position.
Abstract:
A catenary toy consisting of solids which are linked to a chain for producing different planar and spatial configurations, by the aid of which plane figures and spatial configurations may be obtianed in a predetermined shape. In order to entertain people with well developed and less developed combinative ability, the number of the task to be solved is very high, accordingly one never gets bored with the toy. It can be well used for organizing contests and can be produced at low costs without loosing its favourable characteristics. According to the present invention the solids (3, 8, 9) are stringed onto the connecting element (2) or the train of connecting elements (6, 7, 11) in a chain-like manner, one after the other, and the ends of the connecting element (2) or the series thereof are fastened to the first or last solid of the chain or are interconnected with each other in a releasable manner. The matching lateral surfaces of the solids (3, 8, 9) having been stringed onto the connecting elements or the series of the connecting elements are formed by planes.
Abstract:
The invention is an object of variable shape comprising segments (10), the segments (10) being arranged consecutively adjoining each other along sectioning surfaces which divide the object into the segments (10), the segments (10) being movable along the sectioning surfaces with respect to each other, wherein at each of the sectioning surfaces a sectioning outline, defined by the sectioning surface on the outside of the object, forms an outline shape (12s) belonging to the particular sectioning surface. According to the invention the outline shapes (12s) belonging to at least two sectioning surfaces have a size and/or shape different from each other. The invention further relates to a control system for the above object.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a toy for skill-demanding game, in particular a tumbling toy, for moving one or more puppets along paths formed on the surface of the toy according to a predetermined principle, wherein the puppet(s) is (are) sleeves with balls therein. The toy according to the invention can be characterized in that the considerably indented surface, incorporating the playfield for moving and tilting the puppets is essentially a base-plate (1) provided with grooves (8), holes (4), positioning sections (7) for modifying the position of the puppets (2) as well as with starting and ending places.
