Magnetic 3D-interlocking puzzle

Abstract

1.1 is an exploded perspective view. 1.2 is another exploded perspective view. 1.3 is an exploded top view. 1.4 is an exploded front view. 1.5 is an exploded left side view. 1.6 is a perspective view of the completed puzzle. 1.7 is another perspective view of it. 1.8 is its top view. 1.9 is its front view. 1.10 is its left side view. 1.11 is a perspective view of a puzzle piece. 1.12 is another perspective view of it. 1.13 is its top view. 1.14 is its bottom view. 1.15 is its left side view. 1.16 is its right side view. 1.17 is its front view. 1.18 is its rear view. As shown in Figures 1.1-1.10, when the puzzle pieces are arranged correctly, they connect with magnets and form a hollow dodecahedron. The distinctive feature of this design lies in the shape of the puzzle game and puzzle pieces, as shown in the figures. Other diagrams of the puzzle shown in Figures 1.3-1.5 and 1.8-1.10 are omitted because they are identical or symmetrical to those in Figures 1.3-1.5 and 1.8-1.10. As shown in Figures 1.11-1.18, the puzzle consists of 12 identical pieces. Therefore, diagrams of individual pieces are omitted. The dashed lines in the diagrams indicate areas of the puzzle game and puzzle pieces that do not constitute part of the design for which registration is sought. 1.1) Exploded perspective view; 1.2) Exploded perspective view; 1.3) Exploded view; 1.4) Exploded view; 1.5) Exploded view; 1.6) Perspective view; 1.7) Perspective view; 1.8) Top view; 1.9) Front view; 1.10) Left side view; 1.11) Perspective view; 1.12) Perspective view; 1.13) Top view; 1.14) Bottom view; 1.15) Left side view; 1.16) Right side view; 1.17) Front view; 1.18) Rear view
