Description
Le présent additif est relatif à la demande N 80-13578 et a pour objet d'apporter trois améliorations au puzzle tridimensionnel à cubes déplaçables par gravité, principalement sur le plan industriel. This addendum relates to application N 80-13578 and aims to provide three improvements to the three-dimensional puzzle with cubes displaceable by gravity, mainly on an industrial scale.
La premiere amélioration porte sur la réalisation de la croix tridimensio nelle qui, comme dans la demande principale, doit avoir exactement les dimensi, des sept cubes qui la composent pour que les cubes mobiles puissent glisser facilement par rapport aux autres cubes. The first improvement relates to the realization of the three-dimensional cross which, as in the main application, must have exactly the dimensions, of the seven cubes which compose it so that the mobile cubes can slide easily in relation to the other cubes.
Deux procédés de fabrication de cette croix sont possibles. Le premier consiste à fixer par collage ou assemblage les six cubes aux six faces du cube central, ce qui exige une grande précision de centrage et nécessite six opérations. Le deuxième consiste à procéder par moulage, en utilisant un moule ayant la forme de la croix. Cette solution exige la réalisation de deux moules, un pour la croix, l'autre pour les cubes. Two methods of making this cross are possible. The first consists in fixing by gluing or assembling the six cubes to the six faces of the central cube, which requires great centering precision and requires six operations. The second consists in proceeding by molding, using a mold having the shape of the cross. This solution requires the production of two molds, one for the cross, the other for the cubes.
La solution décrite ci- ap rés évite les inconvénients de chacune de ces det solutions. Elle consiste à réaliser la croix sans qu'il y ait de liaison rigide entre les sept cubes qui la composent. The solution described below avoids the disadvantages of each of these det solutions. It consists in making the cross without there being a rigid connection between the seven cubes that compose it.
La figure I annexée indique le mode d'assemblage de ces cubes. Chacun des six cubes est muni sur une de ses faces d'un pion de forme cylindrique (I) qui vient s'engager dans un des six trous (2) aménages dans le cube central, ces trous étant largement dimensionnés. Un jeu suffisant existe entre le pion et le logement correspondant pour qu'il puisse coulisser librement. La seule conditio à respecter est que la longueur des pions soit supérieure au jeu total existant entre les cubes et la paroi interne de la boîte, de telle sorte que les cubes de la croix soient bien positionnés au centre de chacune des faces de la boîte. Figure I attached shows the method of assembling these cubes. Each of the six cubes is provided on one of its faces with a cylindrical pin (I) which engages in one of the six holes (2) arranged in the central cube, these holes being largely dimensioned. Sufficient play exists between the pin and the corresponding housing so that it can slide freely. The only condition to respect is that the length of the pins is greater than the total clearance between the cubes and the inner wall of the box, so that the cubes of the cross are well positioned in the center of each of the faces of the box.
La position des trous et des pions peut être inversée ; le cube central peut êt muni des pions et les six cubes des trous correspondants.The position of the holes and the pins can be reversed; the central cube can be provided with pawns and the six cubes with corresponding holes.
Cette solution présente un double avantage. D'une part, elle améliore le glissement des cubes les uns par rapport aux autres, puisque tous les cubes contenus dans la boîte sont identiques ; d'autre part, elle n'exige plus pour la fabrication des cubes qu'un moule de base unique correspondant au cube élé- mentaire. This solution has a double advantage. On the one hand, it improves the sliding of the cubes with respect to each other, since all the cubes contained in the box are identical; on the other hand, it no longer requires for the manufacture of the cubes that a single basic mold corresponding to the elementary cube.
Le deuxieme perfectionnement consiste à introduire un système de blocage des cubes de façon à éviter le brouillage du cube pendant son transport et à le livrer à la vente dans la position où le puzzle est résolu. The second improvement consists in introducing a blocking system of the cubes so as to avoid jamming of the cube during its transport and to deliver it for sale in the position where the puzzle is solved.
Ce dispositif présente également l'avantage d'avoir un jeu comprenant une collection complète de cubes bleus et rouges numérotés de I à 9 du fait qu'il e introduit au niveau d'un cùbe jaune manquant situé entre le cube rouge marqué I et le cube bleu marqué 3. Chaque cube numéroté porte l'inscription de son numérc sur deux faces opposées, de façon à ce que ce numéro soit visible lorsqu'il se trouve dans une tranche de couleur differente de la sienne. This device also has the advantage of having a game comprising a complete collection of blue and red cubes numbered from I to 9 because it is introduced at the level of a missing yellow cube situated between the red cube marked I and the blue cube marked 3. Each numbered cube bears the inscription of its number on two opposite sides, so that this number is visible when it is in a slice of color different from its own.
Les figures 2 et 3 représentent le dispositif. L'emplacement laissé vide peut être comblé par une pièce plate (4), de largeur égale à celle d'un cube, pouvant être introduite dans la fente (5) aménagée dans la face supérieure de la boite et dont l'extrémité en biseau pénètre dans le logement (3) d'un cube jaune fixe. Cette pièce, de couleur jaune symbolisant le -cube manquant, permet d'immobiliser l'ensemble des cubes mobiles une fois le puzzle résolu. La hauteur de cette pièce est telle qu'elle vient affleurer la face supérieure de la boîte pour permettre un emballage facile du jeu dans une boite en carton. Elle s extrait facilement en retournant le cube.Pour éviter qu'elle ne pénètre en biais complètement à l'intérieur du cube, elle peut être réalisée avec une partie supérieure légèrement évasée, la fente aménagée dans la paroi de la boîte présentant le même évasement. Figures 2 and 3 show the device. The space left empty can be filled by a flat piece (4), of width equal to that of a cube, which can be introduced into the slot (5) arranged in the upper face of the box and whose beveled end enters the housing (3) of a fixed yellow cube. This piece, yellow in color symbolizing the missing cube, immobilizes all of the mobile cubes once the puzzle is solved. The height of this piece is such that it is flush with the upper face of the box to allow easy packaging of the game in a cardboard box. It can be easily extracted by turning the cube over. To prevent it from entering completely inside the cube, it can be made with a slightly flared upper part, the slot in the wall of the box having the same flare .
La troisième amélioration réside dans le mode de fabrication et d'assemblage de la boîte en matière plastique transparente. The third improvement lies in the method of manufacturing and assembling the transparent plastic box.
La boîte représente figure 3 est composée de deux demi-boîtes identiques réalisées par moulage et collées ensemble. La demi-boîte comprend trois faces de la boîte complète formant un trièdre. Les bords (6) de cette demi-boîte sont inclinés à 450 vers l'intérieur, de telle sorte que deux demi-boîtes identiques puissent être collées ensemble par leurs bords inclinés. La zone de collage est indiquée en hachuré sur la figure 3 L'épaisseur des faces doit être de l'ordre de :a30 de la longueur d'un côté de la boîte pour lui assurer une rigidité suffisante. The box shown in Figure 3 is composed of two identical half-boxes made by molding and glued together. The half-box comprises three faces of the complete box forming a trihedron. The edges (6) of this half-box are inclined at 450 inwards, so that two identical half-boxes can be glued together by their inclined edges. The bonding area is indicated in hatched in Figure 3 The thickness of the faces must be of the order of: a30 of the length of one side of the box to ensure sufficient rigidity.
Ce mode de réalisation présente les avantages industriels suivants. Un seul moule simple suffit pour fabriquer les demi-boîtes et réaliser par assemblage la boîte complète. La surface de collage est importante et assure une bonne rigidité à la boite assemblée. En fabrication, le remplissage manuel de la bolte par les cubes est facile à effectuer en empilant tous les cubes dans une demiboîte et en coiffant ensuite celle-ci par l'autre demi-boîte munie de son dispositif de blocage des cubes. This embodiment has the following industrial advantages. A single simple mold is enough to make the half-boxes and make the complete box by assembly. The bonding surface is large and provides good rigidity to the assembled box. In manufacturing, the manual filling of the bowl with cubes is easy to perform by stacking all the cubes in a half-box and then capping it by the other half-box fitted with its blocking device for the cubes.
