Abstract
A puzzle type toy comprises a hexahedral, solid body having a plurality of bores of uniform depth extending inwardly from three sides thereof. A plurality of uniform length rods, equal in number to the number of bores in the solid body, are adapted to be inserted into the bores. The rods have various combinations of notches in the sidewalls thereof whereby the rods can all be received in the bores only when the rods are inserted in their respective bores in a particular, preset order, otherwise an interference will occur between the rods as they are inserted into the bores.
Claims5
A puzzle type toy comprising a hexahedral, solid body having a plurality of bores of uniform depth extending inwardly only partially through said body from three sides thereof so that each bore extending inwardly from a side of said body partially intersects at least one bore extending inwardly from the other two sides thereof, and a plurality of rods, one rod having either substantially continuous longitudinal side walls or one or more notches therein and the other rods having at least one notch in the sidewalls thereof at various positions around and along the length of said other rods, whereby the rods are all received in the bores only when the rods are inserted in their respective bores in a particular order with said one rod being the last rod to be inserted into its respective bore, otherwise an interference will occur between said rods as they are inserted into the bores at the partial intersections of the bores in said solid body.
