CUBE PUZZLE "19" Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A63F9/08 

FIELD: games.

SUBSTANCE: puzzle comprises a housing within which there are identical elements having a shape of right parallelepiped movably placed, the planes of the elements are divided into groups. The housing consists of a three-axis crossing and six stops; the crossings axes have the form of a right parallelepiped and cross in their geometric centers. The adjoining planes of axes of the crossing are mutually perpendicular. The crossing has a size that enables to accommodate the elements inside the housing in a row along the perimetre of the planes of the puzzle. The stops are located on the outer edges of the crossing. The stops are fixed and/or are integrated with the crossing. The stops can be of different geometrical shapes and sizes, allowing to hold and move the elements inside the housing. The number of elements inside the housing is equal to K_max-1 where K_max is the maximum number of elements inside the housing. The planes of the elements are divided into twelve groups with respect to the original combination. Six external groups of planes of the elements are located on the outer planes of the puzzle in a straight line. One plane of the puzzle corresponds to a group of planes of the elements. Six internal groups of planes of the elements are located on the same elements on opposite planes in a straight line of group to the group.

EFFECT: simplified implementation of the device in the design decisions, reduction of consumption of materials.
