Abstract
Puzzle apparatus having a square playing area defined by a square pivot frame each side of which carries a plurality of strip members pivotally mounted for movement against said area in overlying relationship and interleaved with one another to provide a preselected solution sequence. The strip members have spaced recesses along their respective lengths providing lateral and endwise legs defining a plurality of L-shaped contiguous portions each having three discrete identifiable sub-areas thereby providing a multiplicity of selectable puzzle solutions.
Claims10
Puzzle apparatus comprising a frame defining a substantially square base playing area, said frame including a plurality of axle members, one each axially disposed along a respective side of said area, a plurality of socket members joining adjacent ends of said axle members to define the corners of said area, a plurality of strip members each having a mounting hub at one end thereof pivotally attached at said hub to a respective one of said axle members in side-by-side relation to other strip members to provide a corresponding number of strips on each axle member, said strips being adapted to be interleaved with one another to cover said area in overlying relationship to provide a preselected solution sequence determined by a particular interleaved pattern, said hub of each strip member being adapted for relative pivotal and longitudinal movement of said strip members with respect to said axle members when said strip members are interleaved in said overlying relationship to permit said interleaved strip members to lie flat against one other in said overlying relationship.
