A figure for attaching to a building block includes a body; and a base attached to the body at a first end of the base, the base has a cavity disposed within a second end of the base to slidingly attach to one or more connectors of the building block; the figure is detachably mounted on the building block.

The present invention discloses a surface orientation sensing structure, where six printed circuit boards are combined to form a regular hexahedron as the axis of an intelligent magic cube, and a main control chipset can recognize layer rotation by simply sweeping a copper foil through a brush sheet to cause a level change, so that the position change of the layer can be recognized more accurately, a step loss rate is reduced, parts are reduced, and the assembly process is simplified. The present invention further discloses an intelligent magic cube, where all the parts related to orientation sensing are concentrated on the axis, so that the intelligent magic cube can be operated more easily and smoothly, the intelligent functions of the intelligent magic cube can be used more smoothly, and user experience is improved.

A puzzle cube includes a core having a plurality of center cubies movably associated thereto, a plurality of edge cubies, and a plurality of corner cubies, each of the center, edge and corner cubies having respectively one, two and three facelets in view. The core includes a plurality of turrets, to which the center cubies are rotatably engaged, and each edge cubie is rotatably draggable with one of the two center cubies, the facelet of which is coplanar with one of the two facelets of the edge cubie. Each corner cubie is rotatably draggable with one of the three center cubies, the facelet of which is coplanar with one of the three facelets of the corner cubie, and each of the facelets of the edge cubies and of the corner cubies can change from an inactive condition to an active condition when coplanar to a facelet of a predetermined center cubie, with which it is associated. The active and inactive conditions of the facelets are distinguishable, and in the inactive condition the facelets are indistinguishable from each other.

An amusement game station enables a user to operate complex machinery to pick up and position selectively shaped objects to promote complex machinery-based object placement skills. The amusement game station includes a complex machine component and at least one object-receiver station. The complex machine includes a user position station, a user-to-machine interface, a moveable member, and a pick-up mechanism. The moveable member is maneuvered relative to the user position station by way of manual operation of the user-to-machine interface. Each object-receiver station includes at least one object-receiving structure. The pick-up mechanism and moveable member are directable for picking up and conveying selectively shaped objects toward the object-receiving structure(s) for positioned placement. The amusement game station contemplates any number of shapes and sizes of the object-receiving stations and selectively shaped objects, including basically shaped objects and stations as well as irregularly shaped objects and stations.

A three-dimensional puzzle comprising a plurality of cuboid puzzle blocks together forming a predetermined three-dimensional puzzle shape, wherein each puzzle block comprises either a male or a female connecting element on each of at least three sides of the puzzle block; wherein the connecting elements for the respective puzzle block are configured such that each puzzle block is unique.

An activity device is provided that comprises a sorting substrate including multiple cavities, multiple toy blocks shaped and sized for insertion into respective ones of the cavities, and detection circuitry. The detection circuitry includes multiple sensors disposed on the sidewall of each toy block, including a first sensor disposed adjacent to the distal end of the toy block and a second sensor disposed proximally relative to the first sensor. The detection circuitry also includes at least one activator disposed on a side wall of each cavity and configured to (i) activate the first sensor of the corresponding toy block as the toy block is being inserted into the cavity to produce a first stimulus from the toy block and (ii) activate the second sensor of the corresponding toy block when the toy block is seated within the cavity to produce a second stimulus from the toy block.

A figure for attaching to a building block includes a body; and a base attached to the body at a first end of the base, the base has a cavity disposed within a second end of the base to slidingly attach to one or more connectors of the building block; the figure is detachably mounted on the building block.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for sealing openings on containers and other structures, permitting selective removal of portions of the seal structure, and for similar selective removal of portions of adhesive elements such as bandages.

A game control method realizes an electronic game that proceeds as a result of objects being arranged in a game field. The method comprises: arranging an object; determining whether or not a group of unit elements arranged adjacent to each other in the game field forms a predetermined shape; managing a region including the group of unit elements that forms the predetermined shape as an erasure-determined region; erasing, from the game field, the group of unit elements included in the erasure-determined region, of groups of unit elements arranged in the game field, if the erasure-determined region satisfies a predetermined condition, and leaving unit elements not included in the erasure-determined region; and performing control such that a new arrangement object can be arranged in squares from which the group of unit elements have been erased.

The disclosure provides an educational toy. The educational toy incudes a base, a rotatable frame, at least one clamping claw, and at least one impact device. The base is configured for placing on an external placement surface. The rotatable frame is provided on the base and is capable of being rotated on the base when driven by external force. The at least one clamping claw is located on the rotatable frame and configured for clamping a gift. The at least one impact device is arranged on a peripheral side of the base and configured for impacting the gift on the clamp claw when driven by external force.
