Abstract
Apparatus for displaying ingenuity and creativity consists of a plurality of modules that have first and second surfaces, that are planar, angled or curved, and that have slits in at least two sides of the perimeters of the modules. Portions of the modules constitute display surfaces adapted to carry segments of a pattern. The slits of each module may be interlinked with the slits of adjacent modules to form a composite assembly in two or three dimensions that displays a newly created pattern or a predetermined pattern or succession of predetermined patterns on one or both of the first and second surfaces of the composite assembly.
Claims15
An assembled puzzle comprising a plurality of pieces each having a plurality of edges and each piece bearing indicia thereon and being formed with at least one slit in each of said edges, the slits in each piece collectively delineating a plurality of areas of said piece, and the pieces being assembled by engaging a slit of one piece with a slit of another piece in such a manner that selected ones of said areas are either hidden or exposed in order to form at least one composite image.
