Abstract
A puzzle having a plurality of jigsaw puzzle elements; the jigsaw puzzle element having a first pressure cutting member, a second pressure cutting member, and a fracturing member which is arranged between the first and second pressure cutting members and the first and second pressure cutting members being mounted to opposing face of the fracturing member.
Claims15
A puzzle comprising:
- at least two jigsaw puzzle elements;
- each jigsaw puzzle element comprises a first pressure cutting member, a second pressure cutting member, and a fracturing member made of a material different than said first and second pressure cutting members and which is arranged between said first and second pressure cutting members, and
- said first and second pressure cutting members being mounted to opposing surfaces of said fracturing member, wherein said fracturing members of said at least two jigsaw puzzle elements are interconnected to each other defining a mounting region and holding said at least two jigsaw puzzle elements together until a user fractures the fracturing members to form individual jigsaw puzzle elements to play with the puzzle,
- wherein said first and second pressure cutting members both comprise at least one pressure cutting layers, and
- wherein said first or second pressure cutting member comprises at least two pressure cutting layers, the directions of grain patterns of the at least two pressure cutting layers are arranged in relatively different directions, and
- wherein said fracturing member is made of paper, and said pressure cutting layer is made of wood.
