Pathway puzzle

Description

FIG. 1 is a top plan view showing my new design for a pathway puzzle in its solved state;

FIG. 2 is a front perspective view thereof.

FIG. 3 is a top plan view showing the design with its rings rotated to an alternate, unsolved state; and,

FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of FIGS. 1 and 2.

The broken lines are included for the purpose of illustrating portions of the pathway puzzle that form no part of the claimed design.

The design consists in a set of surface patterns applied to the puzzle rings, wherein the solved state in FIGS. 1 and 2 forms a continuous pathway extending from the outer perimeter of the outer ring through the center ring and back out to the outer perimeter of the outer ring.

Applicant's design is a series of surface patterns applied to a set of rotatable rings or circles. Rotations of the rings cause different configurations of pathways to form between rings within the surface pattern. A certain configuration of the rings will reveal a solution wherein there is an unbroken pathway from the outermost edge of the outermost ring, through the center ring, and back out again to the outermost edge of the outermost ring.
