Abstract
A sculpture puzzle which includes a base and a core which is attached to, and extends from, the base. The sculpture puzzle is constructed by sequentially mounting a number of planar segments to form a three dimensional figure.
Claims30
A sculpture puzzle, comprising:
- (a) a base assembly;
- (b) at least one main core member having a main core top end and a main core bottom end, said main core bottom end being anchored to said base assembly;
- (c) a plurality of substantially planar segments formed with an opening therethrough;
- and
- (d) at least one auxiliary core member having an auxiliary core bottom end and an auxiliary core top end, said auxiliary core bottom end being anchored to an auxiliary core base assembly, said auxiliary core base assembly including a first section and a second section, said second section being at least one of said planar segments formed with an opening therethrough for slidably accommodating said at least one auxiliary core and said first section being another of said planar segments which is solid so as to support said bottom end of said at least one auxiliary core member,
- said segments forming a three dimensional figure when slidably mounted in a proper order through said opening onto at least one of said at least one main core members and said at least one auxiliary core members through said main core top end and said auxiliary core top end, respectively.

A method for creating a three dimensional figure, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing:
- (i) a base assembly;
- (ii) at least one main core member having a main core top end and a main core bottom end, said main core bottom end being anchored to said base assembly;
- (iii) a plurality of substantially planar segments formed with an opening therethrough for slidably accommodating said at least one main core member;
- and
- (iv) at least one auxiliary core member having an auxiliary core bottom end and an auxiliary core top end, said auxiliary core bottom end being anchored to an auxiliary core base assembly, said auxiliary core base assembly including a first section and a second section, said second section being at least one of said planar segments formed with an opening therethrough for slidably accommodating said at least one auxiliary core and said first section being another of said planar segments which is solid so as to support said bottom end of said at least one auxiliary core member;
- and
- (b) mounting said segments in a proper order onto at least one of said at least one main core member and said at least one auxiliary core member, through said main core top end and through said auxiliary core top end, respectively, so as to form the three dimensional figure.
