  • Patent number: 5988687
    Abstract: A puzzle for printing on a printer having rollers in its paper feed path, such as a personal computer printer. The puzzle is a semirigid but flexible sheet having at least one blank side serving as means for printing on by the printer. The sheet is sufficiently flexible to negotiate through the rollers of the printer. The sheet has a plurality of die-cuts defining pieces. The die-cuts intersect at intersections. The intersections have nicks for separating each cut at its intersection, and for maintaining rigidity of the sheet during printing.
