Movable Puzzle Platform
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large puzzles require a significant playing surface, making it difficult for players to reach all areas, leading to potential piece loss and extended completion times due to the need to move around the board.
Innovation Solution
A movable puzzle platform with a rotating assembly and supplementary storage for puzzle pieces, allowing players to assemble and store pieces conveniently, preventing loss and facilitating faster completion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the puzzle board size is increased to accommodate more pieces, then the puzzle complexity and piece count increase, but the playing surface becomes too large for the player to reach all areas
Solution Approach 1:
The puzzle board is made rotatable around a central axis, transforming it from a static surface to a dynamic one. This allows the player to rotate the board to access different areas without moving their body, solving the accessibility problem while maintaining large puzzle capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The invention adds rotational movement around the vertical axis, introducing a new dimension of interaction. Instead of only moving pieces in two dimensions on the board surface, the player can now rotate the entire board to reach distant areas, effectively adding a third dimension to the playing space
2Quantity of substance
If the puzzle board size is increased, then more pieces can be assembled, but the player must move around the board which extends completion time
Solution Approach 1:
By making the board rotatable, the player can quickly reposition distant puzzle areas to within arm's reach, eliminating the need to physically move around the board and reducing time loss during assembly
3Quantity of substance
If the puzzle board size is increased, then higher piece counts are possible, but pieces may be lost accidentally due to the large playing surface
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable board design allows the player to keep all pieces within a compact, accessible area, reducing the risk of pieces being misplaced or lost across a large, distant surface
Solution Approach 2:
The invention integrates the puzzle board with a central support structure and rotating mechanism, combining multiple functions (assembly surface, storage, and rotation) into a unified system that prevents piece loss

AI summary
A movable puzzle platform includes a board assembly having a puzzle board with a puzzle plate and a fixing portion, a supplement arrangement having a first main supporting wall stacked on the bottom surface of the fixing portion and a second main supporting wall stacked on the bottom surface of the fixing portion and disposed apart from the first main supporting wall, a base substantially parallel to the puzzle plate and stacked on the first and second main supporting walls. The fixing portion and the first main supporting wall are successively stacked on the base. The fixing portion and the second main supporting wall are successively stacked on the base. The puzzle platform is configured for retaining all the unfinished pieces and allowing the player to conveniently play puzzles.
