Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a jigsaw puzzle structure. Background Technology

[0002] There are two common methods for framing jigsaw puzzles. The first method involves a transparent panel on the frame. The user places the front of the puzzle against the panel, then places the panel itself on the back of the puzzle, and secures the panel, puzzle, and panel together using fasteners on the back of the frame. The second method involves a protruding piece on the inner edge of the frame. The front of the puzzle rests against this protruding piece, and then a panel is placed on the back of the puzzle. The puzzle is then secured between the protruding piece and the panel using fasteners on the back of the frame. These methods complete the framing of the jigsaw puzzle.

[0003] However, both of these puzzle framing methods have drawbacks. Both methods feature a transparent panel or protrusions on the front of the puzzle. The transparent panel can cause users to perceive discrepancies in light or color. The protrusions can easily obscure the pattern near the frame, affecting the user's viewing experience.

[0004] Therefore, proposing a better improvement plan is an urgent problem that the industry needs to solve. Utility Model Content

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Multiple puzzle pieces 10 can be assembled into a complete puzzle, with each of the puzzle pieces 10 having a locking groove 11. The locking groove 11 is formed on one side of the puzzle piece 10, specifically, the locking groove 11 is formed on the back of the puzzle piece 10 and does not penetrate through the puzzle piece 10. In a first embodiment, the opening of the locking groove 11 is elongated, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the locking groove 11 gradually decreases from the bottom of the locking groove 11 to the opening of the locking groove 11. In other embodiments, the shape of the locking groove 11 is not limited to this.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 The jigsaw puzzle 10 can be mounted on the frame 20. In the first embodiment, the frame 20 has multiple borders 21 and multiple protrusions 22. The multiple borders 21 can surround the jigsaw puzzle 10. In other embodiments, the jigsaw puzzle structure of this invention may only have one frame 20, as long as it can surround the jigsaw puzzle 10. Each border 21 has two snap-fit ​​holes 211 and one hanging hole 212. The snap-fit ​​holes 211 are respectively disposed at both ends of the border 21 and formed on one side of the border 21. The hanging hole 212 is formed on one side of the border 21 and is used to hang the jigsaw puzzle structure of this invention on the wall. In the first embodiment, both the snap-fit ​​holes 211 and the hanging hole 212 are formed on the back of the border 21. In other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​holes 211 and the hanging hole 212 may also be formed on different sides of the border 21, such as the hanging hole 212 being formed on the front of the border 21.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6Each protrusion 22 is disposed on one of the frame edges 21 and protrudes towards the interior of the frame 20. In the first embodiment, the number of protrusions 22 corresponds to the number of frames 20; specifically, the frame 20 has four frame edges 21 and four protrusions 22. In other embodiments, the number of protrusions 22 may not be the same as the number of frames 20. For example, the frame 20 may have four frame edges 21 and two protrusions 22, with the two protrusions 22 located on two opposite frame edges 21 respectively. Parts of the mosaic pieces 10 can be fitted to each protrusion 22. The mosaic pieces 10 fitted to the protrusions 22 may not have a locking groove 11; in other words, the number of mosaic pieces 10 fitted to the protrusions 22 may not be the same as the number of mosaic pieces 10 with locking grooves 11. Each protrusion has at least one through hole 221 that penetrates the protrusion 22. In the first embodiment, the number of perforations 221 is the same as the number of mosaic pieces 10 with engagement grooves 11, and the perforations 221 are connected to the engagement grooves 11 when the protrusions 22 are in contact with the mosaic pieces 10. In other embodiments, the number of perforations 221 may not correspond to the number of mosaic pieces 10 with engagement grooves 11.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 Each engaging component 30 can pass through one of the through holes 221 and engage with one of the engaging slots 11. In the first embodiment, the number of engaging components 30 is the same as the number of puzzle pieces 10 with engaging slots 11. In other words, in the first embodiment, the number of engaging components 30, the number of through holes 221, and the number of puzzle pieces 10 with engaging slots 11 are the same. In other embodiments, the relationship between the number of engaging components 30, the number of through holes 221, and the number of puzzle pieces 10 with engaging slots 11 is not limited to this.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 In the first embodiment, each engaging member 30 has a handle portion 31 and an engaging portion 32. When the engaging member 30 is engaged in one of the engaging slots 11, the handle portion 31 is located outside the engaging slot 11, and the engaging portion 32 is located in the engaging slot 11. The handle portion 31 has a first handle portion 311 and two second handle portions 312. The two second handle portions 312 are disposed at one end of the first handle portion 311, and the two second handle portions 312 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first handle portion 311, and extend toward the other end of the first handle portion 311. In the first embodiment, the two second handle portions 312 together form a semi-circular arc shape. In other embodiments, the shape of the two second handle portions 312 is not limited to this, and can also be rectangular and perpendicular to the first handle portion 311, so that the handle portion 31 is T-shaped.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6One end of the engaging portion 32 is connected to the other end of the handle portion 31 opposite to the second handle portion 312. In the first embodiment, the cross-section of the engaging portion 32 is rectangular, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the engaging portion 32 gradually increases from the end where the engaging portion 32 is connected to the handle portion 31 away from the handle portion 31. In the first embodiment, the shape of the engaging portion 32 corresponds to the shape of the engaging groove 11. When the engaging member 30 engages with one of the engaging grooves 11, the length direction of each engaging groove 11 intersects with the length direction of the corresponding cross-section of the engaging member 30. In the first embodiment, it intersects with the length direction of the engaging portion 32. Specifically, in the first embodiment, the length of the engaging portion 32 is less than the length of the opening of the engaging groove 11 and greater than the width of the opening of the engaging groove 11. When the engaging member 30 is inserted into the engaging groove 11, the length of the engaging portion 32 is parallel to the length of the opening of the engaging groove 11. Then, the engaging member 30 is rotated so that the length direction of the engaging portion 32 intersects with the length direction of the corresponding engaging groove 11 and is parallel to the width direction of the corresponding engaging groove 11. In this way, the length of the engaging portion 32 can engage with the width of the engaging groove 11.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The corner piece 40 has two ends that pass through one of the side frames 21, and each corner piece 40 has a main body 41, two fasteners 42, and two spring pieces 43. The two ends of the main body 41 pass through one of the side frames 21, and the two spring pieces 43 are oscillatingly disposed at both ends of the main body 41. The fasteners 42 are disposed at both ends of the main body 41 and on the two spring pieces 43, and each fastener 42 can engage with one of the fastening holes 211 of one of the side frames 21. In this way, the corner piece 40 can join the side frames 21 together, and when the corner piece 40 is engaged with the side frame 21, two adjacent side frames 21 can fit together.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 8 The technical features of the second embodiment of this utility model are similar to those of the first embodiment, except that: in the second embodiment, the engaging portion 32A of the engaging member 30A has a thread 321, which is disposed on the outer annular surface of the engaging member 30A and can engage with the wall surface of the engaging groove 11. Specifically, since the diameter of the thread 321 of the engaging portion 32A is greater than the opening of the engaging groove 11, the engaging member 30A can engage in the engaging groove 11.

[0058] In use, this invention requires first inserting the corner pieces 40 through both ends of each frame 21 and assembling the frame 21 into a complete picture frame 20. Next, the back of the complete jigsaw puzzle piece 10 is attached to the protrusion of the picture frame 20. At this point, the engaging groove 11 of the jigsaw puzzle piece 10 is connected to the through hole 221. Finally, the engaging piece 30 is inserted into the engaging groove 11 and rotated so that the length direction of the engaging part 32 intersects with the length direction of the corresponding engaging groove 11, thereby engaging the engaging piece 30 into the engaging groove 11 and fixing the jigsaw puzzle piece 10 to the picture frame 20.

[0059] The advantage of this invention is that the back of the jigsaw puzzle 10 is provided with a locking groove 11, and the jigsaw puzzle 10 is locked onto the frame 20 by the locking member 30. Therefore, when framing the jigsaw puzzle 10, the locking structure is set on the back of the jigsaw puzzle 10, and no object will cover the front of the jigsaw puzzle 10, thereby fully displaying the pattern of the jigsaw puzzle 10.
