  • Patent number: 7165768
    Abstract: A variable three-dimensional labyrinth comprises a base, a plurality of central blocks, side blocks, corner blocks, wherein a plurality of buckling pillars are mounted on the base for buckling the central blocks. A plurality of hollow tunnels are formed on the central blocks, the side blocks, and the corner blocks. A holding part is mounted on each central block. A pivotally connecting part is integrated with each side block and each corner block. The pivotally connecting part is pivotally mounted between the base and the central blocks. A ball is moved into the hollow tunnels of the blocks from an entrance hole and moved along the hollow tunnels by rotating the blocks until reaching an exit hole, wherein the exit hole is formed on an exterior surface of one of the blocks, and the entrance hole is formed on an exterior surface of another block.

  • Publication number: 20060232006
    Abstract: An intelligence jigsaw puzzle comprises a base, a top cover, jigsaw blocks, a filling block, and an operation tool. When it is in use, the filling block is first taken away to permit the jigsaw blocks to be shifted across the buckling pillars. By forming a 1-2 mm gap between every two adjacent equiangular triangular jigsaw blocks, the hexagonal jigsaw puzzle, which is composed of equiangular triangular jigsaw blocks, eliminates the typical thought of being not able to rotate the equiangular triangular jigsaw blocks. Besides, three apices of each jigsaw block are changed to have an obtuse arc shape so there is provided the required space for rotating the jigsaw blocks one by one. Moreover, the unique thumbtack-shaped buckling pillars smooth the rotation of the jigsaw blocks and also protect them from falling. After all jigsaw blocks are settled, the filling block is inserted into the empty space.
