Description
PUZZLE SPATIAL A ELEMENTS MAGNETIQUES
La présente invention concerne un jeu de patience du type puzzle,pour lequel l'aide de fragments, il s'agit de reconstituer un dessin,une figure ou une forme donnee. MAGNETIC ELEMENTS SPACE PUZZLE
The present invention relates to a puzzle type patience game, for which, using fragments, it is a question of reconstructing a given drawing, figure or shape.
Dans les dispositifs connus de ce genre existent: a. Les puzzles bidimensionnels dont chacune des pièces est plane et porte sur une de ses faces (ou sur les deux) une partie de la (ou des) representa tion(s) finale(s).Toutes les pieces d'un tel jeu peuvent ètre identiques entre elles ou non.On utilise egalement comme éléments des cubes dont chacune des faces represente un fragment de six dessins différents. In known devices of this kind exist: a. Two-dimensional puzzles, each of which is flat and carries on one (or both) sides a part of the final representation (s). All the pieces of such a game can be identical or not, we also use cubes as elements, each side of which represents a fragment of six different designs.
b. Les puzzles tridimensionnels dont les éléments s'edbeitent les uns dans les autres par utilisation de formes approprides.Ainsi soit chacune des pinces porte à la fois les parties hales et femelles d'une liaison du type tenon et mortaise et dans ce cas le puzzle est entièrement demontable;soit les pièces sont lites entre elles de façon permanente mais peuvent se ddplacer les unes par rapport aux autres par translationtrotation ou la combinaison de ces deux mouvements.Avec ce dernier type dejeu les positions relatives des pièces ne sont pas independantes.b. Three-dimensional puzzles, the elements of which are edited into one another by the use of appropriate shapes. Thus, each of the pliers carries both the hale and female parts of a link of the tenon and mortise type and in this case the puzzle is fully removable; either the pieces are read together permanently but can move relative to each other by translationtrotation or the combination of these two movements. With the latter type of game the relative positions of the pieces are not independent.
Le puzzle selon l'invention est du type spatial,entièrement démontable, le maintien relatif des pieces les unes avec les autres lorsque la figure definitive est reconstituee est assure par aimantation. The puzzle according to the invention is of the spatial type, entirely removable, the relative maintenance of the pieces with each other when the final figure is reconstituted is ensured by magnetization.
La figure 1 est une vue du jeu suivant l'invention, dans le cas particulier ou la forme définitive est un cube constitué de 27 éléments identiques et eux mêmes cubiques.Chacun des éléments du puzzle a une face de couleur différente,les six couleurs utilises étant les mêmes pour toutes les pieces du casse tete.Le jeu consiste alors a reconstituer a l'aide des 27 petits cubes un gros cube dont chacune des faces soit de couleur uniforme
Chacun des éiéments du puzzle,suivant l'invention,est aimanté pour assurer la cohésion de la forme finale.Pour obtenir les propriétés magnétiques nécessaires il est possible que chacun des fragments: aa. soit constitué dans la totalité de son volume par un matériau magnétique bb. ou soit constitué par un matériau amagnétique dans lequel est incluse une pièce faite d'un matériau magnétique.Cette pièce magnétique 1 peut etre totalement noyee dans la matrice amagnétique 2 selon la figure 2,ou la pièce 1 peut affleurer l'extérieur sur une ou plusieurs de ses faces selon la figure 3 ce qui simplifie la fabrication.Figure 1 is a view of the game according to the invention, in the particular case where the final form is a cube made up of 27 identical elements and themselves cubic. Each of the elements of the puzzle has a face of different color, the six colors used being the same for all the pieces of the puzzle. The game then consists in reconstituting using the 27 small cubes a large cube each of whose faces is of uniform color
Each of the elements of the puzzle, according to the invention, is magnetized to ensure the cohesion of the final shape. To obtain the necessary magnetic properties it is possible that each of the fragments: aa. is constituted in its entire volume by a magnetic material bb. or is constituted by a non-magnetic material in which is included a part made of a magnetic material. This magnetic part 1 can be completely embedded in the non-magnetic matrix 2 according to FIG. 2, or the part 1 can be flush with the outside on one or several of its faces according to Figure 3 which simplifies manufacturing.
cc. ou soit constitué avant formage d'un mélange pulvérulent ou granuleux de deux matériaux l'un magnétique,l'autre non. CC. or is formed before forming a powdery or granular mixture of two materials, one magnetic, the other not.
Pour ces deux dernières possibilités les éléments du puzzle sont soit frittés,soit moulés,soit extrudés.Dans ce dernier cas on réalise par extrusion une barre de section carré qui est ensuite coupée en fragments cubiques. For these last two possibilities the elements of the puzzle are either sintered, or molded, or extruded. In the latter case, a bar of square section is produced by extrusion which is then cut into cubic fragments.
Dans les trois cas de réalisations indiquées ci-dessus les propriétés magnétiques peuvent ètre obtenues par introduction dans un champ magétique intense,avant ou aprés le façonnage,d'un cube élémentaire,ou,ce qui semble préférable pour simplifier la fabrication,aprés constitution de chaque puzzle de 27 éléments. In the three cases of embodiments indicated above, the magnetic properties can be obtained by introduction into an intense magic field, before or after the shaping, of an elementary cube, or, which seems preferable to simplify the manufacture, after constitution of each puzzle of 27 elements.
D'une manière générale 2 cubes peuvent être positicnnés l'un par rapport a l'autre de 144 façons différentes. Avec 8 cubes il este environ 1013 positions relatives permettant de réaliser un cube dont la longueur des cotés est double de celle des cubes élémentaires. Et avec 27 fragments cubiques il existe 6,9 x 1049 possibilités pour reconstituer un gros cube. Generally 2 cubes can be positioned relative to each other in 144 different ways. With 8 cubes it is approximately 1013 relative positions allowing to realize a cube whose length of sides is double that of the elementary cubes. And with 27 cubic fragments there are 6.9 x 1049 possibilities to reconstruct a large cube.
Si les fragments cubiques sont réalisés suivant la méthode bb ci-dessus l'élément magnétique inséré peut avoir une forme cubique ou une forme prismatique,et peut ètre dispose de façon a avoir ses faces parallèles a celles de la matrice(figures 2 et 3) ,ou être disposé suivant une diagonale da l'élément final (figure 4). If the cubic fragments are produced according to the bb method above, the magnetic element inserted can have a cubic shape or a prismatic shape, and can be arranged so as to have its faces parallel to those of the matrix (Figures 2 and 3) , or be arranged along a diagonal of the final element (Figure 4).
Suivant la position de l'élément magnétique,et donc suivant la direction du champ magnétique a l'intérieur du fragment,un très grand nombre de positions relatives des cubes les uns par rapport aux autres parmi celles calculees précédemment sont alors rendues impossibles. Depending on the position of the magnetic element, and therefore in the direction of the magnetic field inside the fragment, a very large number of relative positions of the cubes with respect to each other among those calculated previously are then made impossible.
Selon le degre de difficulté que l'on désire donner au jeu: aaa. Les couleurs sur les six faces peuvent être disposées de la meme façon relative sur les 27 éléments,ou peuvent être disposées de façon totalement aléatoire. Depending on the degree of difficulty you want to give the game: aaa. The colors on the six faces can be arranged in the same relative way on the 27 elements, or can be arranged completely randomly.
bbb. Les couleurs peuvent être remplacées par des symboles ou par des parties d'un dessin.d'une figure,d'une photographie ou d'une reproduction. bbb. Colors may be replaced by symbols or by parts of a drawing, figure, photograph or reproduction.
ccc. Les fragments du puzzle peuvent ne pas être cubiques. Par exemple ils peuvent avoir la forme de la figure 5 et il faut alors 24 éléments pour constituer un gros cube semblable a celui de la figure 6 Enfin dans le cas le plus complexe les différentes pièces du puzzle peuvent ne pas ètre identiques.ccc. The puzzle pieces may not be cubic. For example, they can have the shape of FIG. 5 and it then takes 24 elements to constitute a large cube similar to that of FIG. 6 Finally in the most complex case the different pieces of the puzzle may not be identical.
Ainsi le jeu,objet de 11 invention, utilise l'effet magnétique pour assurer la cohésion de l'assemblage final,mais également pour donner un attrait supplémentaire au puzzle. Thus the game, object of the invention, uses the magnetic effect to ensure the cohesion of the final assembly, but also to give additional appeal to the puzzle.
