Patent ID: 7815190

Claim:
A precut jigsaw puzzle, having: a blank and printable face; a thick substrate; said thick substrate forming a thick substrate sheet; said thick substrate sheet being pre die-cut by a plurality of cuts, into a plurality of thick puzzle pieces; said thick puzzle pieces joined together by uncut lands between said thick puzzle pieces; said cuts and said lands in such proportions as to allow users to separate the thick puzzle pieces from each other; said thick substrate having a thickness of at least 0.020″, and less than 0.090″; a thin (approximately 0.010″) substrate, forming a thin sheet; said thin sheet having die cuts, which thin sheet cuts are identically configured by the die to precisely correspond to the cuts of the thick substrate sheet; which die cut thin sheet can be printed on by a curved path printer, so that both the die cut thin sheet and the thick substrate sheet are identically configured and can permanently adhere to one another through a gluing application; three strategically located registration pin holes on both the thin sheet and the thick substrate sheet; three registration pins; whereby both the thin sheet and the thick substrate sheet are located on the three registration pins, with the respective cuts, of the thin sheet and the thick substrate sheet, correspondingly lined-up to each other, so that the thin pieces are glued together to their corresponding thick puzzle pieces, forming a laminated sheet, and each thick puzzle piece of the thick substrate will remain attached to its corresponding thin piece of the thin substrate, to form a laminated piece, collectively forming a plurality of laminated pieces, which said laminated pieces may be separated from each other, by bending the laminated sheet along the aligned: cuts and thin sheet cuts, to break the lands, whereby each puzzle piece is separated from each other puzzle piece, to form a plurality of separated laminated pieces.
