    Abstract: A puzzle comprising a set of puzzle pieces and a puzzle assembly surface having a puzzle assembly image printed thereon, the image includes blank areas corresponding to sections of a source image and background puzzle image corresponding to complementary sections of the source image. Each of the puzzles has an image printed on it that corresponds to a particular region of the source image. Shape and size of the puzzle pieces and the images printed on them are such that, when each puzzle piece is placed on the puzzle assembly surface in a particular position with a particular orientation covering a particular blank areas and a portion of the background puzzle image directly surrounding the blank area, a region of the background puzzle image that remains uncovered by the puzzle piece is complementary to the image printed thereon. Thereby, when all puzzle pieces are placed on the puzzle assembly surface in their corresponding positions with corresponding orientations, each covering corresponding blank area, the images printed on the puzzle pieces together with the regions of the background puzzle image that are left uncovered by the puzzle pieces form an image that is generally identical to the source image.

    Abstract: A puzzle platform includes two puzzle drawers, a puzzle board and a support assembly configured to support the puzzle board and having a receiving space cooperatively with the puzzle board. The support assembly includes a supporting member having a top wall, a partition wall configured to forming a pair of openings communicated with the receiving space cooperatively with the top wall. Each of the puzzle drawers is actuated to slide in-and-out of the receiving space through the openings. The partition wall is integral with the top wall, so that the manufacture of the puzzle platform is simple and low-cost.

    Abstract: System and method for additional amusement, entertaining and surprising visual or audible reward provided upon completing the reconstructing of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle pieces include conductive pads connected by a conductor such as a wire, a metallic strip or a conductive paint, so that upon assembling the puzzle, the pads are in contact to form a continuous conductive path. The frame or the puzzle pieces include a battery (or an AC adapter) and a visual or audible signaling device operating upon sensing the continuity of the conductive path. Each of the puzzle pieces may include three or more conductive pads, allowing for the forming two or more isolated or connected distinct conductive paths. The conductive path can further affect a time measurement and its related display for timing the puzzle solving.

    Abstract: A toy having a theme comprises a puzzle including first pieces, second pieces and a frame support. The first pieces are configured to be assembled into a three-dimensional structure. Each of the first pieces includes at least one of a tab and a hole. In particular, the hole is sized and shaped to receive the tab of another one of the pieces. Each of the second pieces are configured to interactively cooperate with the three-dimensional set piece. Each of the first and second pieces also includes a graphic image associated with the theme of the toy. The frame support is substantially flat with a first side having recesses for receiving each of the first and second pieces. The frame support also has a second side, opposite the first side having a graphic image (e.g., representative of a stage) associated with the theme of the toy.

    Abstract: A rotating assembly and a movable puzzle platform using the same are disclosed in present invention. The movable puzzle platform includes a board assembly having a puzzle board, a kickstand pivotally coupled at the board assembly and the rotating assembly attached on the kickstand and having a first moving member, a second moving member rotatably coupled to the first moving member for forming a holding space and a plurality of ball bearings rotatably received in the holding space for allowing the second moving member rotating with respect to the first moving member. One end of the kickstand is pivotally coupled at the board assembly while a free end of the kickstand is adapted to pivotally fold from the board assembly.

    Abstract: A board-carrying support device includes a support frame, a bearing board assembly, and a rotating connection member. A plane in which the support frame is located is defined as a reference plane, the support frame and the bearing board assembly are rotatably connected to each other through the rotating connection member to enable the bearing board assembly to be rotated between a first position and a second position, the first position and the second position of the bearing board assembly are on a same side of the reference plane. The bearing board includes a bearing board and a bearing frame, the bearing frame is arranged around the bearing board and is connected to the rotating connection member. When the bearing board assembly is rotated to reach the second position, an inclination angle between the bearing board assembly and the reference plane is less than 90°.

    Abstract: A jigsaw-type puzzle has pieces that do not need to be flipped or turned prior to, or during assembly of the puzzle. The pieces have peripheral shapes or outlines that are symmetrical along at least one axis, with mirror images being printed on both sides of each piece so that either side of each piece can be used during assembly. Each piece shows a portion of a two-dimensional image, such that when the pieces are assembled, the two-dimensional image is completed. Each piece has first and second sides, with each piece portraying the same portion of the two-dimensional design, such that either side of any piece can be used to complete the puzzle. The invention is applicable to edge pieces, corner pieces and inner pieces, including square pieces with rounded tabs and voids that “interlock,” as well as non-traditional shapes, with or without interlocking joints, and tabs and voids with other shapes.
