METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAKING-UP THREE-DIMENSIONAL BODY Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: games, puzzle games, entertaining devices. SUBSTANCE: method involves making-up a body of at least two cubes. First their vertices are removed right to the middle of ribs then each cube is divided into two halves along the plane passing through sections located on two opposite sides of cube at its diagonally-disposed vertices and interconnecting the middle points of adjacent cube sides. Then the three first halves are placed with their hexagonal sides in a common plane so that the ribs form square sides of an equilateral triangle. Then the fourth half overturned through 180 deg is placed on them, aligning and connecting all square sides of said halves. Device comprises at least two pairs of identical polygons, each having the shape of a half of the cube with remote vertices. The halves are formed by division on the plane passing through sections located on two opposite sides of the cube at its diagonally-opposite vertices and connecting the middle points of the adjacent cube ribs. EFFECT: improved functional and operating characteristics. 2 cl, 5 dwg
