Patent ID: 7976024

Claim:
A pattern cube, comprising: (a) a cube, comprising first and second sets of three contiguous faces (b) said first set of three contiguous faces, comprising a common corner, a first face, a second face, and a third face, and having substantial third order rotational symmetry about said common corner (c) said first face, comprising a first visible band, a second visible band, a first edge, an incorporeal diagonal, and a connective means (d) said first edge, being shared by said second face (e) said incorporeal diagonal, emanating from said common corner (f) said first visible band, beginning at the midpoint of said first edge and paralleling said incorporeal diagonal across said first face (g) said second visible band, being a mirror image of said first visible band across said incorporeal diagonal (h) said connective means, designed in such a manner that a first iteration of said first face can connect with a second iteration of said first face only if said first iteration of said first face represents a one hundred eighty degree rotation of said second iteration of said first face about said incorporeal diagonal (i) said second set of three contiguous faces, being a mirror image of said first set of three contiguous faces whereby, when a plurality of said cubes are connected, face-to-face, their bands form a variety of continuous and tessellating patterns.
