Abstract
A three-dimensional puzzle which consists of several mutually permanently connected puzzle bodies which result in a regular tetrahedron in the assembled state. All puzzle elements consist of truncated pyramids of different sizes which are disk-like. All puzzle elements are combined to a chain, in which each puzzle element is connected with the next-larger one along an edge in such a manner that they can be folded about these edges with respect to one another. In this chain, the individual puzzle elements are arranged such that they form a band which winds helically about an imaginary vertical center axis.
Claims13
A three-dimensional puzzle including connected together puzzle elements, said puzzle elements including a plurality of truncated pyramids connected to one another in ascending size order to form a helical band which widens from top to bottom when in an unassembled condition and to form a tetrahedron when in an assembled condition.
