Abstract

The invention contains moving pieces which can be put together either in a plane or spatially to enable a sculpted-embossed, photorealistic composition to be constructed in 3 dimensions. The essence of the invention is that there is a surface shaping (5) for the purpose of fitting together on the lower part of each component piece (1). The sculpted-embossed surface (2) of the component pieces (1) should be perceived, as having a distinctly tangible surface appearance, on which a composition can be represented using a photorealistic printing procedure (3) so that the individual component pieces (1) have peripheral surfaces which are contoured so as to be connected to and joined with other pieces (4).

Description

3D PHOTOREALISTIC RELIEF PUZZLE GAME
The subject of the patent is a jigsaw puzzle, which is solved by fitting the adequately-shaped contours of the pieces together. The surfaces of the individual pieces are sculpted-embossed and visualizing the three-dimensional, photorealistic compositions which are in relief means they can be fitted together.
It is possible to fit the sculpted-embossed pieces together either in a plane or spatially. The pieces are such that they can be fixed in place securely but can also be taken apart again. Use of the four-colour printing offset process means that the composition which is printed on the pieces making up the puzzle can be represented in a way which is true-to-life and photorealistic either in a plane or spatially.
The patent, then, is a reproducible spatial combining jigsaw puzzle, the appearance of which makes it possible to represent a composition in a way which is true-to-life and palpable and satisfies the high aesthetic requirements of putting the pieces together.
Jigsaw puzzles represent one of the oldest of kinds of games. They can be of a constructional logical or aesthetic nature, or their pieces can be seen as a combination of these from a signal- bearing point of view.
In the course of completing a jigsaw puzzle the pieces must be correctly selected from the mass of unsorted pieces.
Hungarian Patent Specification number 215 072B describes this kind of three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle involves putting three-dimensional pieces together in a plane according to their characteristics and how suitably they fit together; however, apart from their shape, the pieces do not serve to carry any other information.
A search among international patents reveals Patent Specification US 2004/0012147 (Al), which describes a composition which is presented in a spatially self-supporting form and uses small sheets which are slightly raised out of the plane as the pieces of the puzzle. The present invention is a combination whereby the composition is constructed by putting sculpted-embossed pieces together in a plane spatially.
This complex invention is one which, in the course on inspecting both Hungarian an international patents, we have not encountered anywhere else.
The aim of the invention is to create a sculpted-embossed puzzle which will facilitate the development of the user's imagination and aesthetic sense. It is equally suitable for promoting the rehabilitation of the visually-impaired or those in need of assistance and support. The jigsaw puzzle which is the subject of the invention contains scuplted-embossed, photorelalistic pieces which make up the finished composition and in this way are suitable for producing three-dimensional sculptures. In addition the aesthetically-pleasing component can be used as decorative pieces or even for advertising
The prospective details of the invention are introduced with aid of the attached diagrams: Diagram 1 - views of one component piece
Diagram 2 - illustration of one possible way of connecting component pieces Diagram 3 - illustration of how to solve the puzzle
The lower surfaces (1) of the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle which is the subject of the patent have a connecting surface (5) which enables them to be fixed in a place securely. Photorealistic (3) details of the composition are printed on the sculpted-embossed surface of the pieces (2), as shown in the axonometric diagram. The connecting surfaces of the individual pieces (4) fit together with those of other pieces. The spatial composition which is constructed in this way is a faithful reproduction of reality.
When putting the puzzle together, attention must be paid to the information carried by the pieces. Firstly the piece or pieces must be selected that have by far the most attributes for use as starting pieces, and then the spatial, sculpted-embossed composition is built up around these. In order to solve the puzzle, it is necessary to get past the stage of the large number of possible variations which are inherent in the characteristics of the jigsaw puzzle, something which is made even more difficult by the sculpted-embossed surface. The puzzle is suitable for individuals or groups between the ages 5 and 99.

Claims

1. A 3D photorealistic relief sculpted-embossed jigsaw puzzle, which has pieces (1) characterized by their sculpted-embossed surfaces (2) which have a photorealistic (3) pictorial appearance and which, when their flat receiving surfaces are fitted together, form a true-to-life composition.
2. The jigsaw puzzle as recited in claim 1 is characterized by the fact that putting its pieces together to form a self-supporting, frameless spatial structure enables a pictorial world to be created which has palpable surface differences and photorealistic.
3. The jigsaw puzzle as recited in claims 1 and 2 is characterized by the fact that the space it takes up, the material it is made from, its shape, form and its appearance in a material, pictorial and colour sense enable the puzzle to be executed.
4. The jigsaw puzzle as recited in claims 1 and 2 is characterized in its appearance by the fact that its component pieces (1) comprise moving, movge able pieces, the positions of which can be cnaged.
5. The jigsaw puzzle as recited in claims 1 and 2 is characterized by the fact that its component pieces (1) and the composition in its appearance are very realistic through being tangible and palpable.
6. The jigsaw puzzle as recited in claims 1 and 2 is characterized by the fact that its component pieces (1) and, in the form of it s appearance, the composition can be represented in virtual form using a computer.
7. The jigsaw puzzle as recited in claims 1 and 2 is characterized by the fact that its component pieces (1) and, in the form of its appearance, the composition can be represented by a holographic procedure.
8. The jigsaw puzzle as recited in claims 1-7 is characterized by the fact that the area where it is being constructed does not influence the putting together of the composition.
