Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a jigsaw puzzle, which comprises a large number of jigsaw pieces which, when put together, produce an image, and a separating device for separating the jigsaw pieces during the production process.
  • Jigsaw puzzles are well-known products in which a motif, such as a photo, a drawing or a designed graphic, is processed as a jigsaw puzzle.
  • the motif is very often selected by the maker of the jigsaw puzzle, in order to then produce a plurality of jigsaw puzzles with identical motifs. It is now also possible for the customer to use a personal motif and upload it to a website or an app, for example, as part of their order.
  • Such a jigsaw puzzle is usually produced in such a way that an image is printed or laminated onto a carrier material or a carrier plate such as cardboard, wood, plastic, foam and the like and the carrier plate is then punched to produce the individual puzzle pieces of the puzzle .
  • the jigsaw pieces After punching, the jigsaw pieces have to be separated, since the jigsaw pieces are held together by the form-fitting connections, which the user uses to subsequently put them back together.
  • it can happen during punching that the jigsaw pieces are not completely separated from one another and are still connected to one another in a materially bonded manner via thin areas.
  • the separation of the jigsaw pieces is done according to the prior art either by Fland or by machine, the jigsaw puzzle to be separated being placed on a conveyor belt, for example, and the individual jigsaw pieces break off at the end of the conveyor belt or are smashed by rotating rods.
  • a corresponding device is described in US Pat. This creates a chaotic, loose heap of jigsaw pieces, in which case it is no longer recognizable whether all the jigsaw pieces have actually found their way from the separation into a storage container with which the jigsaw is sold to the user.
  • the problem often arises that individual puzzle pieces are missing and the puzzle can therefore no longer be fully assembled.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device be available with which a better isolation of puzzles is possible to solve the problems of the prior art and in particular to allow a ge targeted and defined isolation of the puzzle pieces to so to be able to control the pieces of the puzzle and process them in a targeted manner.
  • the invention proposes a method for producing a jigsaw puzzle, which comprises a large number of jigsaw pieces which, when put together, result in the jigsaw puzzle, in which method an image is laminated or printed onto a carrier plate, so that the image forms an image plane on the Carrier plate defined, and the puzzle pieces are punched out of the printed or laminated carrier plate.
  • the sequence can also be reversed, so that first a laminated support plate or one that is otherwise suitable for printing is punched and then the punched support plate is printed with the image.
  • an image is understood to mean any representation that is suitable for a puzzle, and a wide variety of materials, such as cardboard, plastic, wood and the like, can be used as carrier material for the carrier plate.
  • punching is understood to mean any type of separation of the puzzle pieces and not just the specific punching process. In particular, it can also be separated by sawing, cutting, laser cutting or the like.
  • the jigsaw pieces are detached from the punched support plate in a predetermined manner by a controlled movement of at least one jigsaw piece transversely to the image plane and separated, so that the jigsaw pieces are present in a defined manner after separation.
  • the controlled movement can in particular take place perpendicular to the puzzle plane, which is defined by a main surface with the largest dimensions of the puzzle or the support plate, or perpendicular to the image plane.
  • One or more jigsaw pieces can be detached from the punched carrier plate at the same time and/or one after the other in order to ensure efficient separation in the shortest possible time on the one hand and defi ned separation on the other.
  • up to half of the puzzle parts of the puzzle can be detached from the punched carrier plate at the same time or all puzzle pieces can be separated at the same time.
  • each sub-segment includes specific puzzle pieces and at the same time at least one puzzle piece can be released from the punched carrier plate for all sub-segments.
  • all the puzzle pieces of one or more sub-segments can be detached simultaneously from the punched support plate, where, in particular when a sub-segment has been detached, the puzzle pieces of the sub-segment can be further separated according to the present method or another method.
  • the puzzle pieces of a sub-segment may be defined by at least one property of the puzzle pieces selected from a number of properties representing membership in one or more rows of the puzzle, membership in a part of one or more rows of the puzzle, membership in a or more columns of the puzzle, belonging to a part of one or more columns of the puzzle, belonging to any local area of the puzzle, one or more basic colors or colored components of the puzzle pieces, edge pieces of the puzzle, number of indentations or projections of the puzzle pieces and combinations included.
  • one or more adjacent puzzle pieces or all puzzle pieces adjacent to the puzzle piece to be released or all puzzle pieces adjacent to the puzzle piece to be released that have a common Have cutting line are fixed during the movement of the puzzle piece to be detached.
  • the controlled movement for releasing the at least one puzzle piece can be a linear translational movement, in particular a pushing or pulling movement.
  • the release of the puzzle pieces can in particular take place in such a way that the released puzzle pieces are arranged in a common plane after the release from the punched carrier plate, which in particular is offset parallel to the image level of non-moving jigsaw pieces. This enables simple and defined access to the individual jigsaw pieces after they have been separated for simple further processing.
