Patent number: 8888099Abstract: The disclosure relates to a jigsaw puzzle having at least two puzzle parts wherein each of the mutually facing circumferential edge sections on both sides of the connecting region and remote from the latter is provided with at least one circumferential edge piece, along which the course of the circumferential edge is defined by the bisector of a two-dimensional angle which is formed between two straight lines which intersect on the bisector and by an upper end point of the associated one of the mutually facing circumferential edge sections of the two puzzle parts to an upper end point of an opposite circumferential edge of the same puzzle part such that when puzzle parts are joined together along mutually facing circumferential edge sections, contact between the two puzzle parts occurs exclusively on said circumferential edge pieces and in the region of the undercut.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Ravensburger Spieleverlag GmbHInventors: Florian Knell, Jörg R.

Patent number: 8628089Abstract: The disclosure relates to a jigsaw puzzle having at least one puzzle piece that can be bent along at least one predefined bending line, and that has an upper side and a lower side and a puzzle piece thickness extending between the upper side and the lower side which is reduced from an inner side of a bend along each bending line. In order to neutralise the resilient restoring force that acts in the bent state, on each side of each bending line there is a fixing device which releasably fixes a desired bending angle, each fixing device having at least one recess into which a corresponding protrusion engages in a clamping and/or latching manner when the puzzle piece is bent.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2010Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Ravensburger Spieleverlag GmbHInventors: Florian Knell, Joerg R.

Patent number: 8235207Abstract: A jigsaw puzzle transporting system having a bottom part, a base plate and a lid is provided. An at least substantially vertically projecting frame is present on the bottom part for peripherally surrounding the base plate. A shoulder with a holding face fitting into the frame projects from the lid. Side faces, mutually facing in a closed position, of the shoulder and of the frame cooperate for releasably locking the shoulder in the frame. The shoulder in the closed position is positioned, relative to the base plate received in the frame, such that a distance between the holding face and an upper surface, facing the latter, of the base plate is less than a jigsaw puzzle piece height.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2011Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Ravensburger Spieleverlag GmbHInventor: Sabine Dietenberger

Publication number: 20120024729Abstract: A jigsaw puzzle transporting system (10) having a bottom part (12), a base plate (16) and a lid (14, 14?, 14?) is provided. An at least substantially vertically projecting frame (26) is present on the bottom part (12) for peripherally surrounding the base plate (16). A shoulder (38) with a holding lace (40) fitting into the frame (26) projects from the lid. Side faces (42, 30), mutually facing in a closed position, of the shoulder (38) and of the frame (26) cooperate for releasably locking the shoulder (38, 38?, 38?) in the frame (26). The shoulder (38, 38?, 38?) in the closed position is positioned, relative to the base plate (16) received in the frame (26), such that a distance (S) between the holding face (40; 40?; 40?) and an upper surface (74), facing the latter, of the base plate (16) is less than a jigsaw puzzle piece height (SP).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2011Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: RAVENSBURGER SPIELEVERLAG GMBHInventor: Sabine Dietenberger
