Rotating Puzzle Board with Piece Storage
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 supplemental 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 size is increased to provide more challenge, then the piece count and difficulty increase, but the finished size becomes too large for the player to reach all areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the puzzle board rotatable. The rotating assembly allows the puzzle board to be rotated to different orientations, enabling players to access all areas of large puzzles without moving around the table. This dynamic transformation resolves the contradiction by maintaining large piece counts while improving accessibility through rotational movement.
2Quantity of substance
If the puzzle board size is increased to accommodate more pieces, then the piece count increases, but the player must move around the playing surface which extends completion time
Solution Approach 1:
The rotating assembly enables the puzzle board to be dynamically reoriented, allowing players to access any section of the puzzle without moving around the table. This reduces the time spent navigating around the playing surface while maintaining the ability to accommodate large piece counts, directly addressing the time loss issue.
3Quantity of substance
If the puzzle board is made larger to fit more pieces, then the piece count increases, but the risk of losing pieces increases due to the need to move around the board
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable puzzle board allows players to work on different sections of the puzzle without moving around the table, reducing the opportunity for pieces to be accidentally lost. By maintaining a stationary playing surface that can be reoriented, the system improves piece retention while supporting large piece counts.
4Quantity of substance
If the puzzle board size is increased to accommodate more pieces, then the piece count increases, but the player cannot reach the other sides of the puzzle board
Solution Approach 1:
The rotating assembly transforms the static puzzle board into a dynamic component that can be rotated to bring any section within the player's reach. This allows players to work on large puzzles with high piece counts while maintaining easy access to all areas through rotational repositioning.

AI summary
A movable puzzle platform includes a board assembly having a puzzle board with a puzzle plate and a fixing portion extending from the puzzle plate, a supplement arrangement having a supporting portion attached on a bottom surface of the puzzle board and having a first main supporting wall attached on the bottom surface of the puzzle board, and a restricting wall upwardly extended from the fixing portion of the puzzle board and having a first extending wall stacked on the fixing portion of the puzzle board. The first extending wall and the fixing portion of the puzzle board are successively stacked on the first main supporting wall. The puzzle platform is configured for retaining all the unfinished pieces and while allowing the player to conveniently play puzzles.
