Jigsaw Puzzle Sorter Device
A puzzle sorter device is disclosed that allows puzzle users to sort puzzle pieces by various desired means. The puzzle sorter device comprises a sorting sheet component that is configured in a rectangular shape that measures approximately eleven inches in length and eight inches in width. The sorting sheet component would comprise a cardstock base sheet component with a felt top sheet component secured on top. Each sorting sheet component can hold up to 60 puzzle pieces at a time, with the sheets accommodating small to very large pieces, such as 100 to 3,000 piece puzzles.
Studded jigsaw puzzle
The jigsaw puzzle includes a baseplate used with attachable puzzle pieces. The baseplate has multiple upward-facing engagement mechanisms that are engaged with corresponding and complementary puzzle piece rear-facing engagement mechanisms. The rear-facing engagement mechanisms and the complementary puzzle piece rear-facing engagement mechanisms are designed so as to leave a space between the bottom of the puzzle piece and the top surface of the baseplate to facilitate removal of the puzzle pieces. An optional pry tool can be inserted in to the space to easily remove the puzzle pieces after play, storage, or display. An optional hanger/joiner can be utilized to hang the completed puzzle vertically and/or to join two baseplates to create increased play opportunities.
IMAGE-BASED PUZZLE AND A METHOD OF MAKING THEREOF
A puzzle comprising a set of puzzle pieces and a puzzle assembly surface having a puzzle assembly image printed thereon, the image includes blank areas corresponding to sections of a source image and background puzzle image corresponding to complementary sections of the source image. Each of the puzzles has an image printed on it that corresponds to a particular region of the source image. Shape and size of the puzzle pieces and the images printed on them are such that, when each puzzle piece is placed on the puzzle assembly surface in a particular position with a particular orientation covering a particular blank areas and a portion of the background puzzle image directly surrounding the blank area, a region of the background puzzle image that remains uncovered by the puzzle piece is complementary to the image printed thereon. Thereby, when all puzzle pieces are placed on the puzzle assembly surface in their corresponding positions with corresponding orientations, each covering corresponding blank area, the images printed on the puzzle pieces together with the regions of the background puzzle image that are left uncovered by the puzzle pieces form an image that is generally identical to the source image.
Rotating assembly and movable puzzle platform
A rotating assembly and a movable puzzle platform using the same are disclosed in present invention. The movable puzzle platform includes a board assembly having a puzzle board, a kickstand pivotally coupled at the board assembly and the rotating assembly attached on the kickstand and having a first moving member, a second moving member rotatably coupled to the first moving member for forming a holding space and a plurality of ball bearings rotatably received in the holding space for allowing the second moving member rotating with respect to the first moving member. One end of the kickstand is pivotally coupled at the board assembly while a free end of the kickstand is adapted to pivotally fold from the board assembly.
Puzzle platform
A puzzle platform includes two puzzle drawers, a puzzle board and a support assembly configured to support the puzzle board and having a receiving space cooperatively with the puzzle board. The support assembly includes a supporting member having a top wall, a partition wall configured to forming a pair of openings communicated with the receiving space cooperatively with the top wall. Each of the puzzle drawers is actuated to slide in-and-out of the receiving space through the openings. The partition wall is integral with the top wall, so that the manufacture of the puzzle platform is simple and low-cost.
Puzzle with conductive path
System and method for additional amusement, entertaining and surprising visual or audible reward provided upon completing the reconstructing of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle pieces include conductive pads connected by a conductor such as a wire, a metallic strip or a conductive paint, so that upon assembling the puzzle, the pads are in contact to form a continuous conductive path. The frame or the puzzle pieces include a battery (or an AC adapter) and a visual or audible signaling device operating upon sensing the continuity of the conductive path. Each of the puzzle pieces may include three or more conductive pads, allowing for the forming two or more isolated or connected distinct conductive paths. The conductive path can further affect a time measurement and its related display for timing the puzzle solving.
