first embodiment

[0026]Next, a 3D (three dimensions) maze is explained as follows as an example, but it should not be regarded as a limitation to the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1, which illustrates a 3D maze according to the present invention. The 3D maze 100 includes an external housing body 1 and a layered inner body 2. The layered inner body 2 is located inside the external housing body 1. The external housing body 1 and / or the layered inner body 2 is made of corrugated paper. When being used by a pet, the 3D maze may further include a folding hook body 3 located at the external housing body 1.

[0027]Please refer to FIG. 2, which illustrates an exploded view of FIG. 1. The external housing body 1 includes a plurality of joint portions 11a, 11b and 11c adjacent to each other. Each joint portion 11a, 11b and 11c includes a folding portion 111 and a connection portion 112. The folding portion 111 and the connection portion 112 are connected to each other. Each folding portion 111 include...

second embodiment

[0035]Please refer to the 3D maze as a second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 7, which also has an external housing body 1″ and a layered inner body 2″.

[0036]As illustrated in FIG. 8, the external housing body 1″ includes a plurality of joint portions 11a″, 11b″, 11c″ and a plurality of buckle units 13″. Each joint portion 11a″, 11b″ and 11c″ has a plurality of connection portions 112″ adjacent to each other. Each connection portion 112″ includes a buckle hole 1121″. Each buckle hole 1121″ corresponds to each buckle unit 13″ such that the plurality of joint portions 11a″, 11b″ and 11c″ are connected to each other. Specifically, the buckle unit 13″ may be buckled in the buckle hole 1121″ of the joint portion 11a″ and the buckle hole 1121″ of the joint portion 11b″. In this embodiment, the plurality of joint portions may be three joint portions of the same shape. A user may easily use the buckle units 13″ to assemble the external housing body 1″.

[0037]The layered inner body 2″ of the s...

Abstract

The present invention provides a 3D maze made of corrugated paper that can be assembled by users. The 3D maze includes an external housing body and a layered inner body. The layered inner body is located inside the external housing body. The external housing body has a first entrance/exit for entering the 3D maze. The layered inner body is also disposed with a second entrance/exit, a third entrance/exit, or a fourth entrance/exit for entrance and exit of the 3D maze.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is related to a 3D (Three Dimensional) maze and more particularly related to a paper 3D maze.BACKGROUND[0002]A maze is a popular IQ enhancing toy. A conventional maze is designed by disposing multiple walls in a plane and forming complicated paths by separation of the walls. Users cannot directly see a correct path such that users may need to use their eyes and brains to find the correct path. There are some 3D mazes, but their assembly is complicated. Usually, users need to use assisting tools to complete the assembly, e.g. Taiwan Patents No. 1288016, 498797 and M308780.[0003]Usually, a larger 3D maze is designed for kids or small animals. The convenience of assembly is therefore critical. Conventional mazes can be assembled only with tools and are made of hard plastic, which is not good for the environment.[0004]In addition, small pets such as cats are physically active and like to sharpen their claws. Therefore, the present invent...
