Turning puzzle ball

Abstract

A turning puzzle ball includes a plurality of slidable members, and a plurality of rails. The slidable members form a hollow sphere. Each of sides of each of the rails is slidably mounted between corresponding sides of two adjacent slidable members.

1 . A turning puzzle ball comprising: 
 a plurality of slidable members forming a hollow sphere; and    a plurality of rails, each of sides of each of the rails slidably mounted between sides of two adjacent slidable members.    
   
   
       2 . The turning puzzle ball as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the slidable members comprises an inner slidable member, and an inner slidable member mounted to the inner slidable member, sides of the rails are slidably located between edges of the inner slidable members and the corresponding outer slidable members.  
   
   
       3 . The turning puzzle ball as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein sides of each of the inner slidable members define a slot therein, respectively, each of the rails having a T shape comprises a body, a pair of hooks extends from opposite sides of the body of each of the rails for being slidably engaged in the corresponding slots of the slidable members.  
   
   
       4 . The turning puzzle ball as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein each of the slidable members further comprises a bracket, the inner slidable member and the outer slidable member are mounted together via the bracket.  
   
   
       5 . The turning puzzle ball as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein each of the rails further comprises a connecting portion extending from the body, each of the brackets comprises three arms perpendicular to one another, ends of the arms are mounted to three corresponding rails perpendicular to one another.  
   
   
       6 . The turning puzzle ball as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of shafts located between ends of the corresponding rails.  
   
   
       7 . The turning puzzle ball as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein a pair of tabs extends from a circumference of each of the rails to form a receiving slot, edges of the inner slidable members slide through the receiving slots.  
   
   
       8 . The turning puzzle ball as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of decorating slices, the decorating slices are mounted to the outer slidable member.
