Abstract
A puzzle cube comprising individual cells. Some cells may be positioned on the outer surface of the puzzle cube while other cells may be floater cells encapsulated within the puzzle cube by a rail structure. Preferably, the rail structure is intergrated into the structure of selective individual cells. Preferably, at least one cell is in the form of a Tesseract Schlegel diagram.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI/We claim:
1 . A puzzle cube having six faces forming an outer surface, the puzzle cube comprising:
a plurality of first cells positioned on the outer surface of the cube and at least one floater cell positioned beneath the outer surface of the puzzle cube; a coupling system comprising rails connecting the first cells on the outer surface where the rails and the first cells encapsulate the at least one floater cell; where at least one of the cells is transparent.
2 . The puzzle cube of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the first cells is in the form of a Tesseract Schlegel diagram with at least one supporting beam of the inner cube attached.
3 . The puzzle cube of claim 2 , wherein at least the first cells are in the form of a Tesseract Schlegel diagram.
4 . The puzzle cube of claim 3 , wherein all first cells and all floater cells are in the form of a Tesseract Schlegel diagram.
5 . The puzzle cube of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the rails is integrated on the first cells and is in the form suitable for exoskeleton structure.
6 . The puzzle cube of claim 1 , wherein the unit edge is the minimum order of the cells and the size of the cube is in odd unit edge numbers.
7 . The puzzle cube of claim 1 , wherein the unit edge of a cell is dependent on the cell's location in the cube.
8 . The puzzle cube of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the cells covers a space of several unit edge sized cells.
9 . The puzzle cube of claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the cells is located into the outer surface of the logic cube.
10 . The puzzle cube of claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the cells is located among the floater cells.
11 . The puzzle cube of claim 1 , wherein at least one first cell has an optimized form that facilitates the dismantlement of the logic cube.
12 . A cell capable of being combined with other cells to form a puzzle cube, wherein the cell is substantially in the form of a Tesseract Schlegel diagram and has markings on it visually separating the directions of the cell.
13 . The cell of claim 12 , wherein its size in each dimension is the unit edge or its multiple.
14 . The cell of claim 12 , wherein the first cell is made of plastic.
15 . The cell of claim 12 , wherein the markings are colors.
16 . The cell of claim 12 , wherein the markings are patterns.
17 . The cell of claim 16 , wherein the patterns are multicolored.
18 . The cell of claim 16 , wherein the patterns are bossed.
19 . The cell of claim 12 , wherein the cell has details that depend on the location of the cell in the puzzle cube.
20 . A release chassis for dismantling a puzzle cube, the chassis having two surfaces tilted in opposite directions relative to each other, and having a member that retains the puzzle cube on the two surfaces when dismantling the cells.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
