立てる事のみであった。However, there is no need to cite any particular literature.〈Conventional art materials for jigsaw puzzles are made by manufacturers who select certain materials to make into jigsaw puzzles, so for the user, the materials are indispensable. Moreover, since they are mass-produced, children often receive the same items over and over again as bonus items, and are often disappointed. Furthermore, the cutting of each chip had already been done by the manufacturer, and the only interest was in assembling it.

今一つ不充分であった。Problems with the conventional technology Therefore, with the jigsaw puzzles of the conventional technology, it is not possible to play with art materials that the users themselves love or specially select, but only with mass-produced art materials selected by the manufacturer. Ta. Furthermore, since the chip cutting was done by the manufacturer, the only interest was in assembling it, and the educational effect and attachment to it were insufficient.

The first step is to prepare a board for jigsaw puzzles with lines, the second step is for each person to paste or draw on the opposite side (surface) with any art material, and to use an appropriate tool such as a scroll saw or nichrome wire cutter. Provided is a method for manufacturing a jigsaw puzzle, which includes the step of cutting the chip at the chip dividing line using a suitable means to finish it into a large number of independent chips.

実施例 本発明の対象はジグソーパズルの改良及びその製法であ
るが、図面に付き説明すると１本発明の製法の第１工程
では第１図に示す様に、多数の凹凸１付きチップ２を組
立て完了した状態と同様に。Embodiment The object of the present invention is the improvement of jigsaw puzzles and the manufacturing method thereof.To explain with reference to the drawings, 1. In the first step of the manufacturing method of the present invention, as shown in FIG. Same as the situation.

ジグソーパズル用のチップ分割線３を勇断容易で安価な

してチップ分割線３を裏面に設けたジグソーパズル用板
材６を作成する。Chip parting lines 3 for jigsaw puzzles can be printed directly on an integrated soft plate-like body 4 made of a soft material such as foamed synthetic resin, such as styrofoam, urethane, foamed acrylic, or foamed polyethylene, which is easy to cut and inexpensive, or as shown in FIG. As shown, a jigsaw puzzle plate material 6 with chip dividing lines 3 provided on the back side is prepared by printing on a piece of paper 5 and pasting it onto a soft plate-like body 4.

ひとつ、ひとつのチップ２は第１図に示す通りのもので
、平面状で見たその凹凸１の数は例示的なもので１図示
例では凸部は６ＷＪであるが、それのみに拘束される訳
では無い。またそれらの凹凸１の形状も種々に変形し得
る。尚、各チップ２の隣り同士のチップ２′は凸部と四
部がオス・メスに嵌合する形のものであるのは勿論であ
るから、凹部は格別に説明はしない事にする。Each chip 2 is as shown in Fig. 1, and the number of protrusions 1 seen in a plan view is for illustrative purposes only.In the illustrated example, the protrusions are 6WJ, but the number of protrusions 1 is 6WJ, but it is not limited to this. That doesn't mean it's true. Further, the shape of the unevenness 1 can also be variously modified. Incidentally, since it is a matter of course that the adjacent chips 2' of each chip 2 have a shape in which the convex portion and the four portions fit into male and female, the concave portions will not be particularly explained.

軟質板状体の素材は、上記のもの以外スチレンボード、
スチレンペーパーなど糸のこやニクロム線切断器で容易
に切断分離出来るものなら適し。The material of the soft plate-like body is styrene board,
Any material that can be easily cut and separated with a scroll saw or nichrome wire cutter, such as styrene paper, is suitable.

柔らかなコルク板、ボール紙やゴム板等でも良い。A soft cork board, cardboard or rubber board may also be used.

尚、ジグソーパズル用板材６の厚みは、切断やゲームで
の組立て及びコストの都合上、３馴以上５朋前後が最も
適当であるが、限定されるものでは無い。Note that the thickness of the jigsaw puzzle board 6 is most suitably about 3 to 5 mm for reasons of cutting, assembly in games, and cost, but is not limited to this.

次の工程としては、ジグソーパズル用板材６の表面に使
用者が好みの写真や、ポスター、雑誌等から適宜所用の
画材７を貼着するか、アクリル糸線の具などで自分で描
いて表面を作成する。In the next step, the user can attach his/her favorite photograph, poster, magazine, etc. to the surface of the jigsaw puzzle board 6, or draw on it himself using acrylic thread. create.

それから、裏面に設けられているチップ分割線３に沿っ
て第３図の如く糸のこ８を使用し一列の縦又は横の短冊
状に切断し、更にそれを横又は縦に切断すれば、各々の
チップは第４図の如くバラバラの状態となって本発明品
が出来上がる。Then, as shown in FIG. 3, use a scroll saw 8 to cut into a row of vertical or horizontal strips along the chip dividing line 3 provided on the back side, and then cut the strips horizontally or vertically. Each chip is separated into pieces as shown in FIG. 4, and the product of the present invention is completed.

その使用方法は、普通のジグソーパズルと何ら変わりは
無い。How to use it is no different from a normal jigsaw puzzle.

尚、切断には糸のこ８の他、極細のヤスリや、紙片が薄
い場合には、ニクロム線カッターの使用も可能である。For cutting, in addition to the thread saw 8, it is also possible to use a very fine file or, if the piece of paper is thin, a nichrome wire cutter.

又、第２図の紙片（紙の他、ポリエチレンシートなど合
成樹脂膜も含む）５や画材７の厚みは軟質板状体４に対
して著しく誇張されているが、実例では極薄片である。Furthermore, although the thickness of the paper pieces (including paper as well as synthetic resin films such as polyethylene sheets) 5 and the art material 7 in FIG. 2 are significantly exaggerated relative to the soft plate-like body 4, in the actual example they are extremely thin pieces.

作用効果 以上の説明から、使用者が好み選んだ任意適宜の画材を
利用して楽しく遊べる自作ジグソーパズルを本発明によ
れば簡易に提供出来る。Effects As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily provide a self-made jigsaw puzzle that the user can enjoy using any suitable art materials of his/her choice.

更に、従来品の如き単なる組立てのみで無く、チップ切
断という工程も加わる為、より一層の満足感や充実感を
生み、その愛着や知育的教育効果は抜群のものとなる。Furthermore, since it involves not only simple assembly like conventional products, but also the process of chip cutting, it creates an even greater sense of satisfaction and fulfillment, and its attachment and educational effects are outstanding.

また、チップ切断には従来品の様な高価な特製の刃物を
使用せず、各人が安価な糸のこや、ニクロム線カッター
を使用すれば容易に切断出来る為軟質板状体の安さと供
に、安価に自分だけの特別製手作りのジグソーパズルが
簡易に楽しめる事となる。In addition, chips can be easily cut by using an inexpensive scroll saw or nichrome wire cutter, without using expensive special blades like conventional products. At the same time, you can easily enjoy making your own special handmade jigsaw puzzles at a low price.

更にチップ分割線で切断された各チップは、市販のジグ
ソーパズルと同様の形状を成し、ゲームとしての興味は
より一層盛り上がるものとなる。Furthermore, each chip cut along the chip dividing line has a shape similar to that of a commercially available jigsaw puzzle, making the game even more interesting.
