Abstract
This invention concerns a "puzzle" whose pieces consist of a plastic colored bracket which hooks to identical brackets to form a chain, which is then placed adjacent to other chains of the same shape to form a screen on which any drawing representing the result of a pre-established assembly order of the various multi-colored brackets can be reproduced.

A puzzle consisting of a plurality of flat chains placed side by side, said chains consisting of a plurality of flat multi-coloured brackets, each bracket moulded from a single piece of plastic and characterized in that each bracket (2) consists of two identical flat rectangular tabs (2a), placed opposingly and connected by a folded end section (2b) forming a semi-circular arch, which tapers to a minimum width (a) at the top end of the bracket (2) and wherein said tabs (2a) have an "L" shaped through slot obtained by an intersection at a right angle of a horizontal slot (4a) proximal and parallel to a base of the tab (2a) and a vertical slot (4b), proximal and parallel to a left side of the tab (2a);
- the minimum width (a) of the section (2b) is less than the length (A) of the horizontal slot (4b) and the length (B) of the vertical slot (4b) is greater than the base width (b) of tab (2a).
