3D puzzle

Abstract

To provide a three-dimensional puzzle that can increase the options of safe toys that can be played by people from small children to the elderly. [Solution] If a cube with sides equal to the height is taken from a board with a height, length, and width ratio of 1:2:3 and one piece removed from a corner is called part L, one piece removed from the center of the long side is called part U, one piece removed from each end of the long side is called part T, and one piece removed from each diagonal corner is called part Z, then two parts L, two parts U, two parts T, and one part Z can be combined into a cube with a side three times longer than the above cube.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This relates to a toy that allows a specific three-dimensional shape to be constructed by stacking multiple parts. [Background technology]

[0002] When describing a shape made up of small cubes lined up in a row as "linear," a shape made up of small cubes lined up in a single layer as "flat," and a shape made up of small cubes stacked in two or more layers as "three-dimensional," toys that allow you to build a large cube by stacking multiple parts are commercially available, including ones with a single type of L-shaped part, and ones with multiple types including linear and three-dimensional parts, but there were no toys that allow you to build a large cube by stacking multiple types of flat parts.

[0004] Increase the selection of safe toys that can be used by everyone from young children to the elderly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A cube with sides equal to the height of a board with a height-length-width ratio of 1:2:3 is taken from a board, and a part obtained by removing one corner is called part L, one part removed from the centre of the long side is called part U, one part removed from each end of the long side is called part T, and one part removed from each diagonal corner is called part Z. This is a three-dimensional puzzle consisting of two parts L, two parts U, two parts T, and one part Z, which can be combined to form a cube with a side three times the length of the cube above. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] The use of the toy of this invention can contribute to the development of intelligence in young children and the maintenance of cognitive function in the elderly. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view showing how a cube can be created by assembling each piece of the three-dimensional puzzle of this invention so that the black circles are in contact. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The 3D puzzle of this invention can be made of cypress wood, but the material is not limited to cypress. The corners and edges are rounded to prevent injury. [Example]

[0009] Two pieces L, each sandwiched between a hexagon of 4cm, 2cm, 2cm, 2cm, 6cm, 4cm, two pieces U, each sandwiched between an octagon of 2cm, 2cm, 2cm, 2cm, 2cm, 4cm, 6cm, 4cm, two pieces T, each sandwiched between an octagon of 6cm, 2cm, 2cm, 2cm, 2cm, 2cm, 2cm, 2cm, and one piece Z, each sandwiched between an octagon of 4cm, 4cm, 2cm, 2cm, 4cm, 4cm, 2cm, 2cm, were cut out of a 2cm thick cypress board to create the three-dimensional puzzle of this invention. It was confirmed that these pieces could be assembled into a cube. [Industrial Applicability]

[0010] The three-dimensional puzzle of this invention is expected to be in demand in homes and elderly care facilities, targeting people of all ages, from young children to the elderly.

Claims

[Claim 1] A three-dimensional puzzle consisting of two parts L, two parts U, two parts T and one part Z can be combined to form a cube with a side equal to the height of the board with a height, length and width ratio of 1:2:3, where the part obtained by removing one piece from a corner is called part L, the part obtained by removing one piece from the center of the long side is called part U, the part obtained by removing one piece from each end of the long side is called part T, and the part obtained by removing one piece from each diagonal corner is called part Z.
