Description

Rotating toys

These structures are characterized in that the rotational paths are two-dimensional get lost. First of all, the base plate or a corresponding one belongs to these structures Lower part. The base plate or the corresponding lower part is characterized by that this element prescribes rotational movements along the two-dimensional rotational paths and allows.

The rotary paths are characterized in that they intersect or touch and thus rotary bodies in these rotary paths the change from a rotary path into another enable. These rotary paths can be in the base plate or in a corresponding lower part can be realized by guideways, for example by Guide rails. It is not necessary to have all the rotary paths in the base plate or to be implemented as guide rails in the corresponding lower part. By suitable connections, for example according to the tongue and groove principle, etc., can be a few the rotating body can be held by others. These rotating bodies are then of the held in the guide rails or similar rotating bodies and around the same Center rotated. They also run in the necessary characteristic Rotary tracks. Since these rotary paths also intersect or touch, there is an overpass from one rotary path to another is possible.

The turning paths are characterized by the fact that they are on circular paths, that intersect or touch, run. Because of the two-dimensional arrangement an unlimited number of circles is possible in these two dimensions.

Guide rails can be assigned to the rotary tracks that lead to the Example can be designed as T-guide rails. These guide rails cut or touch according to the associated rotational paths, so that the Fastening body running in the guide rails from one rail to another can switch and from this to the next, etc. The ones on the fastening bodies attached rotating elements can thereby make the same movement around the same center point understand.

The radii of the rotating paths depend on the dimensions of the rotating body. - The rotating bodies are characterized in that their basic shape is intersecting Circles created.

As examples of the basic forms are the figures 1 (one) and 7 (seven) of the accompanying drawings. In these two drawings examples of the rotary movements are shown by the arrows drawn. These rotary movements result in the transfer of rotating bodies from a rotary path to another, etc. Figure 7 (seven) shows the example of transferring one Rotating body from place Alpha to place Omega.

The field of application of this invention relates to an intelligence game.

The rotating bodies can be transferred from one rotating path to another and from this to the next etc.

This results in a large number of combinations, of which - after defining a certain combination in advance - only this one as that is the only right thing to look at. The result is an intelligence game for one or, as specified, for several people.

The purpose of the invention is that due to the geometric Forms given possible rotary paths the technically required guideways assign. Examples of the given geometric shapes are shown in the figures 1 (one) and 7 (seven) of the drawings. These rotary paths can can be implemented as circular T-guide rails, for example.

The invention is based on the object of a substantially two-dimensional Forms with intersecting or touching circles and the resulting to put geometric shapes in a position, the resulting geometric shapes to twist so that parts of a circle content against those of another circle content can be exchanged and by continuation in this sense an intelligence game surrender.

The circles have a constant radius, as this is the only way to do this makes sense.

The object is achieved according to the invention in that rotary tracks guide tracks be assigned. Some or all of the rotary tracks can be used, for example, as T-guide rails will be realized. Since the rotary paths intersect or touch, intersect or the guide rails assigned to them also touch each other and thus enable the Fastening elements running in the guide rails, from a guide rail to another and from there to switch to another. This movement is thus also carried out by the rotating bodies attached to the fastening elements. It is not necessary that a guide rail be assigned to each rotary track got to.

For example, some of the rotating bodies, belonging to one of the rotary paths, from other rotating bodies belonging to another Rotary path belong to be held. The rotating body, for example in guide rails can run, rotating bodies of a different rotating path, but with the same center point, hold for example by connections according to the tongue and groove principle. This rotating body are then of the rotating bodies running in the guide rails around the same Center also rotated and thus run in the characteristic turning paths. The fact that these rotary paths also touch or intersect is a transfer of a turning path in a desired other possible.

To create an intelligence toy is a sufficiently high Number of touching or intersecting circles required. The bigger the The number of circles, the greater the difficulty of finding the one only correct combination. The number and arrangement of the circles is required Adjust level of difficulty.

Two exemplary embodiments are explained in more detail below. These Exemplary embodiments relate to FIGS. 1 (one) to 13 (thirteen) inclusive.

The basic forms of the in 'Figures 1 (one) to and including 6 (six) rotary elements shown are created by intersecting or each other touching circles, with the center points each having the constant distance r (radius) have to each other. If you connect the center points with each other, equilateral arises Triangles with a constant side length equal to the radius of the circles. The figure 1 (one) shows that there are eighteen rotating elements associated with each circle.

Neighboring circles intersect at their centers. As a result, two neighboring centers belong to the common area intersecting circles with seven rotating elements each. When turning a circle will be these rotary elements are also rotated, so that the arrangement of the circular contents of the other circle is changed.

Figures 5 (five) and 6 (six) represent the rotating bodies. In In this exemplary embodiment, the rotating bodies shown in FIG. 5 (five) run in guide rails of a base plate, while those shown in FIG. 6 (six) Rotary bodies are held by the rotary bodies shown in FIG. 5 (five). As a result, only the rotary path belonging to FIG. 5 (five) has to be used as a guide rail can be realized in the base plate. Figure 2 (two) represents the guideway in the lower two levels of the base plate. The one shown in Figure 2 (two) Section shows recesses in the lowest level, which act as an additional guideway allow a relatively precise run of the rotary elements shown in Figure 5 (five). The parts of FIG. 5 (five) labeled 1 (one) run in these recesses.

In the figure 3 - are shown further levels of the base plate. in the The section in FIG. 3 is that shown in FIG. 5 in one of the recesses Rotary element shown hatched with parts 1 and 2 and 3.

FIG. 4 shows the base plate with some of the associated rotating elements shown. Invisible lines are partially omitted for a better overview.

The parts designated in FIG. 5 with 2 and 3 are, based on the radius of the rotary path, oversized so that the rotary body shown in Figure 5 is shown, dependent on part 1 of FIG. 5 for precise guidance is and accordingly the associated guideway is also required. The advantage this arrangement consists in parts 2 and 7 of the one indicated in FIG Rotary body can be made relatively stable.

The other possibility is not listed in the drawings and should therefore be briefly explained here. When the guide rails and their associated Fastening elements relative to the radius of the associated rotational path are relatively narrow are dimensioned, so remain in the area of the overlapping rotary paths There are bars that can ensure adequate guidance.

The stability of the fastening elements is lower than with the version specified in the drawing. With the radius of the turning paths unchanged If the guide rails are widened further, the condition may arise that a clean and reliable guidance of the rotating body in the rotating tracks is no longer possible is guaranteed.

The rotating bodies should have any possible and necessary arrangement in the combination of the rotating body, therefore the fastening body attached in the geometric centers of the base body.

Each circle indicated in FIG. 1 has three rotational paths. Each of these rotary paths could be implemented in the base plate by means of guide rails will.

By corresponding connection with those indicated in FIG Rotary elements do not require the rotary elements indicated in FIG. 6 of their own Guide rails in the base plate, but are replaced by those indicated in FIG Rotary elements held and guided.

The rotating elements indicated in FIG. 6 slide with their underside on top of the base plate. The rotary movements of the illustrated in FIG Rotating body are not hindered. Movements perpendicular to the base plate, so upwards are prevented by the recesses in the rotating body of the Figure 5 located parts of Figure 6. These parts are in Figure 6 with the Number 7 denotes.

The intelligence game presents itself to the user as in the figure 1 is drawn in detail.

So that the rotating elements can be turned more easily by the user, recesses or elevations or the like can be used.

be attached to the rotating bodies. As an example are in the figures 5 and 6, the hemispherical elevations denoted by 5 are provided. -Another one Embodiment relates to those indicated in the drawings - Figures 7 (seven) up to and including 13 (thirteen).

The game presents itself to the user, as shown in FIG is drawn, represents. In this drawing is given as an example, such as a rotary element can be rotated from Alpha (A) to Omega (). Figure 7 shows that each turning circle is assigned twenty turning elements. These twenty rotating elements have a total of three different forms.

Each circle has to be assigned four turning paths, with their centers are identical to the associated circle center. The shortest connecting lines the center points form a square pattern; the side length of these squares is identical to the radii of the corresponding circles. Each rotating element has one Focus. The center points run when the contents of a circle are rotated around the center of the circle the rotating elements on the rotating tracks. Cut or touch these rotary paths themselves. These rotary paths can all or only some by guide rails or the like. will be realized.

In principle, this exemplary embodiment works analogously to the previous one Embodiment which is shown in Figures 1 to 6 inclusive.

Here, too, it is not necessary to use all rotary tracks, e.g. as guide rails to realize. In this exemplary embodiment, only the rotary paths that belong to the rotating bodies shown in FIGS. 11 and 13, as guide rails realized.

These rotary paths. are shown in FIG. Figure 9 shows some of the rotating elements as they are presented to the user and some of the Rotational paths shown in FIG. 8. Figure 10 shows some of the rotating elements as they appear to the user, as well as some of the invisible lines of the Rotary elements shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. The index base plate itself The level located is not shown in this drawing for the sake of better clarity.

Figure 11 shows a rotating body with the associated fastening element, which is labeled with the numbers 8 and 9 in the drawing. This fastener corresponds to the fastening element which is shown in FIG. 13 with the numbers 10 and 11 is designated.

The rotary element shown in FIG. 12 requires two rotary paths around the same center point in a circle.

These rotary tracks could, for example, be used as guide rails in a base plate will be realized. On the implementation of these two rotary tracks as guide rails can be dispensed with, - in that the rotary element shown in FIG The shape shown in the drawing is given the parts designated by the number 12.

These parts, labeled 12, run in the recesses of in the rotating body shown in FIG.

As a result, the rotating body shown in Figure 12 of the rotating bodies shown in FIG held and also in the associated rotation ancestors around the same center point.
