Three-dimensional puzzle with movable segments

Abstract

The present invention relates to three-dimensional puzzles with segments capable of changing position in relation to one another, said segments having guides for allowing the movement of movable elements. According to the invention, the movable elements are configured in the form of permanent magnets, wherein the movement of each magnet is limited by its own guide, and each magnet is capable of being positioned in at least one of two end positions, wherein the guides in the movable segments are arranged to allow different magnets to interact with one another and to change position relative to movable elements. Movement of the magnets is provided by both the attraction and the repulsion of different magnets. The technical problem addressed is that of increasing the existing assortment of puzzles having movable segments.

1 . A three-dimensional puzzle with movable sectors, which can change their positions relative to each other and have guides that allow movable elements to move and form various configurations of the three-dimensional puzzle, differing in that the movable elements are manufactured as permanent magnets, and the motion of each magnet is limited by its own guide, and each magnet can be situated in at least one of the two extreme positions, and the guides in movable sectors are installed so that different magnets can interact with each other and change their positions relative to the movable elements. 
     
     
         2 . A three-dimensional puzzle according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the guides are shaped as hollow cylinders, inside which magnets can move. 
     
     
         3 . A three dimensional puzzle according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the magnets are shaped as cylinders. 
     
     
         4 . A three-dimensional puzzle according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the magnets are encased in decorative elements. 
     
     
         5 . A three-dimensional puzzle according to  claim 1 , characterized in that each guide is made as a hinge with one end connected to the magnet, and the other, to the movable sector, which hinge allow the magnets to move relative to the pinning point of the guide on the movable sector. 
     
     
         6 . A three-dimensional puzzle according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the magnets are encased in movable elements, or decorative elements, which move together with the magnets, are fixed on the magnets. 
     
     
         7 . A three-dimensional puzzle with movable sectors capable of changing their positions relative to each other, in which movable elements are installed that form different configurations of the three-dimensional puzzle, differing in that at least some of the movable elements are made as permanent magnets, while the other movable elements are made of magnetically susceptible materials, and the movable sectors have hollows, inside which the movable elements are installed, and each movable element can rotate in the hollow it occupies, when affected by other permanent magnets of the puzzle, as the movable sectors change their positions relative to each other. 
     
     
         8 . A three-dimensional puzzle according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the movable elements are shaped as spheres. 
     
     
         9 . A three-dimensional puzzle according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the movable elements are shaped as cylinders. 
     
     
         10 . A three-dimensional puzzle according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the movable elements are connected with decorative elements.
