Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a puzzle three-dimensional.
  • Three-dimensional puzzles are games of well-known patience, which may have a function educational, in particular a role of awakening to sculpture and artistic awareness when they reproduce famous or original works of art, such as museum pieces.
  • Still other puzzles such as the one disclosed in US-A-4,865,324, consist of parts associated with the both by mechanical and magnetic means. Rooms, geometric in shape, are precisely magnetized and provided with protuberances and matched cavities, arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of the parts.
  • the invention proposes a puzzle three-dimensional comprising fragments of shapes and / or distinct and arbitrary dimensions that cannot occupy that a unique position within said puzzle, at least two said fragments each comprising at least one element magnetic oriented so that said fragments attract when properly positioned.
  • Document FR-A-2 517 979 discloses a puzzle three-dimensional of the aforementioned type, the different constituent fragments are kept assembled by magnetization and can be cubic or not, identical or different.
  • the cohesion of the puzzle is insufficient and it does not provide the sensations required for application in activities educational or cultural activities for children, or in games for the blind.
  • the puzzle three-dimensional disclosed in US-A-3,779,558, which is made up of assembled parts either by means mechanical, either by magnetic means, and whose mutually contacting surfaces are not fully matched to each other, the different pieces of this known puzzle not having, moreover, a form and a totally arbitrary thickness.
  • each of the puzzle fragments according to the invention is provided with at least one relief and / or a hollow of positioning likely to be matched with respectively a recess and / or a positioning relief provided on an adjacent fragment, so that said fragments are assembled both by means mechanical and magnetic.
  • the fragments which have distinct and arbitrary shapes and / or dimensions, are closely matched to each other along their mutually adjacent surfaces. The cohesion of the whole is therefore reinforced.
  • Reliefs and positioning troughs each have a shape and / or one size (s), what makes the invention particularly suitable for the aforementioned applications.
  • a fragment can cooperate by one of its faces with one or more other fragments or with one or several parts of other fragments.
  • At least one of said fragments represents an individual object such as an artistic plastic form, figurative or not, taking up or not the main theme of the puzzle.
  • At least one of the puzzle fragments represents an object individualized and the other fragments are arranged around said object.
  • variations in the surface exterior of the individualized object can constitute a set of reliefs and positioning hollows which cooperate respectively with hollows and reliefs of positioning of at least some of said others fragments.
  • the object will take the form of a known sculpture, which may be inserted in another known or original sculpture or in a pyramid, for example, made up of fragments at least part of which has a surface matched to a portion of the surface of said object and forms a first layer around it and possibly another part forms one or more layers around this first layer.
  • the object inserted in the three-dimensional puzzle could possibly be a original as is, which does not contain element (s) magnetic and the cohesion of the whole puzzle will be, in this case, ensured by the fragments arranged around this one, at least two of which contain at least one element magnetic.
  • the object is opaque and that at least some of the other fragments are translucent.
  • the magnetic elements are not visible, only the two fragments forming the top and the base of the pyramid will be opaque and contain one or more elements magnetic ensuring the cohesion of the whole, the others fragments being translucent.
  • the global puzzle will be broken down into a so-called puzzle "primary" having exactly the same external shape as the global puzzle, but which will present one or more spaces interior voids, and either an individual object or a secondary puzzle.
  • the reconstructed puzzle consists of two parts substantially symmetrical about a median plane and one of said fragments constitutes substantially one of said parts. This a particular fragment can therefore serve as a support for others fragments of the puzzle and model to piece together the puzzle.
  • the puzzle further comprises a support formed of at least one substantially flat continuous surface comprising at least one magnetic element and provided with reliefs and / or depressions positioning, which are adapted to cooperate respectively with at least some of the hollows and / or reliefs of positioning of said fragments, so that said fragments form at least one layer on said surface.
  • the puzzle stand can be attached to a wall or on the floor or suspended from the ceiling. So the puzzle can for example take the form of a wall sculpture to be reconstructed, which can possibly be formed of several layers of superimposed fragments each of which can evoke a theme, a school of sculpture, etc.
  • This mode of embodiment of the invention is particularly suited to use as a group game, for use by children and blind or sighted adolescents, in areas of games or cultural spaces.
  • the reliefs provided on the different fragments are formed by any cylindrical projecting form, pyramidal, parallelepiped, etc. such as a boss, a tip, etc. and the corresponding troughs can have the shape of a hole, a groove, a notch, a parallelepiped recess, etc.
  • at least one of said fragments may be covered with an embossed inscription constituting minus part of the fragment positioning reliefs on which it is worn, which inscription can be made up of any signs or symbols, such as numbers, letters isolated or assembled in words or sentences, in any alphabet and any language, Braille inscriptions, hieroglyphs, ideograms, etc.
  • the puzzle according to the invention can be used as a tool teaching assistant for blind children in learning the Braille alphabet, planning by example that the series of letters obtained once the puzzle completed constitutes a word identifying the object achieved.
  • the inscriptions may also indicate the date of work, origin, title, name of sound author, etc. or constitute a text which retraces the history of the object.
  • the materials constituting the different fragments of the puzzle can be any material 'likely to be cut, shaped, chiseled, molded, cast, formed, etc., by example of plaster, resin, etc. These materials can be worked either manually or industrially, to make the puzzle fragments according to the invention. In general, the prototype will be produced manually, by plaster example, and the fragments obtained will then be molded for scale reproduction industrial.
  • the magnetic element consists of at least one of the following: a permanent magnet, a material magnetic, a mixture of magnetic materials, a mixture of one or more magnetic materials with one or more several non-magnetic materials, etc. Mixtures can be made by heating, sintering or melting materials in the form of powders or aggregates. Their bet in form can then be carried out by methods classic industrialists. The different fragments of the same puzzle can consist of the same elements magnetic, different magnetic elements or some may be non-magnetic, but held in place by surrounding magnetic elements.
  • Figure 1 is an example of a self-supporting three-dimensional puzzle according to a first embodiment of the invention
  • Apple 1 is made up of forty-two three-dimensional fragments, only some of which are visible in Figure 1, such as 2, 3, 4, 5 which each different dimensions and shapes, so that each fragment is unique and occupies a unique position at within puzzle 1.
  • fragments 3, 4 and 5 each represents a slice of the apple, cut horizontally from it.
  • Figures 2 and 3 are sectional views, respectively horizontal and vertical, which show better the irregular contours of the different fragments, and this in the three dimensions.
  • each fragment such as 2a-c, 3 etc. contains at least one magnet rectangular in shape such as 62a-c, 63a-c, etc. which are oriented in such a way, as indicated by the arrows shown in Figure 3, that their polarities are reversed.
  • the magnets 63c, 63a and 63b of the fragment 3 for example, are attracted to magnets 62c, 62a and 62b of fragments 2c, 2a and 2b, and vice versa, which contributes to bringing said fragments together.
  • Figure 4 illustrates more precisely the structure different fragments of the apple shown in previous figures.
  • the puzzle of Figures 1 to 3 is shown partially reconstituted; it is made of an unfinished apple 7 surrounded of eight 8a-h fragments to place on it.
  • Each of the fragments 8a-h is provided with hollows and / or reliefs.
  • fragment 8a is provided with ten depressions, such as 9, substantially hemispherical, of two projections, such as 10, substantially pyramidal and a recess 11 having a trapezoid section.
  • Figure 5 illustrates another puzzle according to the invention which, when fully reconstituted, represents an owl in twenty-eight fragments.
  • the puzzle is partially reconstructed and the different fragments have the same characteristics as those of FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • some of the fragments take the form particularity of a well individualized object.
  • FIG. 6 which represents a stylized owl head, whose eyes are formed by hollows 14a and 14b substantially hemispherical and whose contour is delimited by a circular recess 15.
  • These hollows 14a, 14b are adapted to cooperate with reliefs paired 14'a, 14'b provided on fragment 12 of the figure 5.
  • Fragments 12 and 13 are, for more than clarity, delimited by a thicker line in Figure 5.
  • Figures 7a and 7b show another form execution of the puzzle according to the invention which represents here, in a reconstructed state, a bear in twenty-two fragments of which only some are visible in these figures.
  • the reconstructed puzzle is approximately symmetrical about the longitudinal median plane of the animal represented.
  • One of the side faces is monobloc, that is to say that it is formed of a single fragment 16, while the other 17 consists of several three-dimensional fragments such as 18.
  • the role of the first monobloc face 16 is to serve both support for fragments of the three-dimensional puzzle and model to reconstruct the other side.
  • Figure 8 shows a puzzle according to the invention, in which a fragment of large dimensions (not visible in this figure) serves as wall mount to other puzzle pieces, such as 21 and 22, illustrated on a larger scale in FIG. 8a, which form a single layer on it. It is well understood, however, that the support fragment could be covered with several successive layers of the others fragments.
  • Figures 9 and 9a-b illustrate a puzzle according to yet another embodiment of the invention.
  • the reconstructed puzzle 101 shown in Figure 9, reproduces an Egyptian goddess bust.
  • Each of the fragments 23 to 26 of the puzzle 101 has, on at least one of its opposite surfaces, reliefs or depressions comprising a letter of the Braille alphabet and intended to cooperate, respectively, with the depressions or the reliefs provided on an adjacent fragment.
  • the fragment 24 illustrated in FIG. 9a presents, on its lower surface 24I, two circular reliefs 24a and 24b representing the letter c in the Braille alphabet, as well as a rectangular relief 124 which serves to define the direction of reading of the braille sign. highlighting it.
  • the reliefs 24a and 24b are respectively paired with depressions 25a and 25b formed in the upper surface 25S of the fragment 25, as seen in FIG. 9b.
  • the letters appearing on the different fragments 23-26 of the puzzle can be used to facilitate their assembly by a blind person, a logical series of letters or a word being for example formed as the fragments are assembled each other.
  • the fragment 24 can itself be considered as an individualized object within the puzzle to which it belongs.
  • Figure 13 illustrates a large puzzle 201, called “global puzzle”, whose external shape is that of a pyramid and which is made up of fragments, so-called “primary fragments”, among which were dispersed and integrated other fragments, called “fragments
  • the fragments of the puzzle 101 represented in FIG. 9, which will be designated in the following by "secondary puzzle” constitute said secondary fragments.
  • Figure 10 shows the global puzzle 201 in partially completed state, which includes in particular, as a secondary fragment, the fragment 25 illustrated in FIG. 9b. Although it does is not visible in this figure, the global puzzle 201 also includes, in already formed layers, as other secondary fragments, fragments 23, 24 and 26 illustrated in Figure 9, which are arranged in locations spaced from each other.
  • Figure 11 represents the same global puzzle 201 at a later stage of construction, in which the primary fragments 27 to 30, illustrated in figure 10, were assembled to the puzzle overall 201 partially reconstructed.
  • Figure 12 represents the complementary puzzle part to that illustrated in Figure 11. It is clear from these figures that the omission of the secondary fragment 25 in the global puzzle 201 does not affect the configuration anymore exterior of this puzzle as its magnetic cohesion. This form of execution therefore achieves a sort of pull-out assembly where secondary fragments can either be embedded within the overall puzzle, either be omitted from it and joined together to form, on the one hand, the puzzle primary which, in this case, will have exactly the same external shape than the global puzzle but will present internal empty spaces and, on the other hand, said puzzle secondary.
  • the invention proposes a three-dimensional puzzle, reproducing for example a known sculpture, formed of fragments distinct and arbitrary configuration, which are assembled by magnetic forces and by means mechanical, the latter being constituted by a set reliefs and hollows including the number, size, layout and shape are variable, making the invention particularly well suited to the realization educational games appealing to the sense of touch of users, and therefore particularly suitable for non seers.
