Abstract

Abstract The play set comprises a plurality of pieces (A ... P) having fixed shape, each of which is ideally made up of a number of variously disposed cubes, with at least a face in common, and at least a piece (Q) of variable shape and actually made up of a number of cubes (R) variously matchable between them for taking up a number of shapes, always with a face in common; said pieces of fixed and variable shape being combinable between them to generate various spatial patterns.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 82 words
A play set comprising a plurality of pieces (A...P) having fixed shape, each of which being ideally made up of a number of variously disposed cubes with at least a face in common, and at least a piece (Q) of variable shape actually made up of a number of cubes (R) variously matchable between them for taking up, with a touching face, a number of shapes, said pieces of fixed and variable shape being combinable between them to generate various spatial patterns.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 82 words
A play set comprising a plurality of pieces (A...P) having fixed shape, each of which being ideally made up of a number of variously disposed cubes with at least a face in common, and at least a piece (Q) of variable shape actually made up of a number of cubes (R) variously matchable between them for taking up, with a touching face, a number of shapes, said pieces of fixed and variable shape being combinable between them to generate various spatial patterns.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A play set according to claim 1, characterized in that all pieces having fixed shape have a flat form with a thickness equal to that of the cube side.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 38 words
A play set according to claim 1, characterized in that the pieces having fixed shape are twelve, eleven of which (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,L,M,N) being ideally made up of five cubes and one (P) being ideally made up of four cubes.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 28 words
A play set according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises at least a piece of variable shape made up of five cubes variably matchable between them.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 56 words
A play set according to claim 1 or 4, characterized in that the cubes of a piece having variable shape are connected between them by means of an elastic band (T) which goes through them through a passage at least partly formed by a cut (Rl; Vl,V2; W2), along which the elastic band can be moved.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 31 words
A play set according to claim 5, characterized in that the elastic band (T) passes a through hole (R2) formed between the bottom of a cut and the wall opposite thereto.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 24 words
A play set according to claim 5, characterized in that a cube (V) has two crossed cuts (V1, V2) arising from the same face.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 26 words
A play set according to claim 5, characterized in-that a cube (U) has two cuts (U1, U2) arising from opposite faces and lying in orthogonal planes.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 24 words
A play set according to claim 1 or 4, characterized in that the cubes forming the piece having variable shape are magnetized for connection.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 25 words
A play set according to claim 1 or 4, characterized in that the cubes forming the piece having variable shape are connectable by restraining joints.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 31 words
A play set according to claim 1, characterized in that the cubes of the piece having variable shape have projections and recesses for the centering and the stability of mutual positioning.
