Patent ID: 7547020

Claim:
A three dimensional puzzle or toy comprised of: a. at least two interconnecting abstract shape members in which each abstract shape member can be a different shape; b. at least one surface on each abstract shape member; c. each abstract shape member must be interconnected by at least one interconnection means to at least one other abstract shape member; d. at least one of the abstract shape members being an end shape member, having at least one opening entrance hole on its surface for the receiving of at least one bolt of an interconnection mechanism means that is retained inside a cavity of an adjacent abstract shape member; e. at least one of the shape members being a start shape member having at least one mesh of interconnected opening slots on its surface and with at least one cavity terminating in the end by a mesh of opening slots, wherein the at least one bolt of the interconnection mechanism means that is retained inside one of the cavities can move throughout the mesh of interconnected opening slots, from one position on the mesh to another position on the mesh, and the end of the at least one bolt of the interconnection mechanism means are attached by any permanent means to the adjacent abstract shape members, with at least one interconnection mechanism means which comprises a biasing spring, a retaining cup into which is fitted one end of a biasing spring, a bolt retained at one end by a bolt head or any stopper means and the opposite end of the bolt extending through an opening in the retaining cup so that the biasing spring surrounds a portion of the bolt and is positioned between the bolt head or any stopper means and the retaining cup, the end of the bolt which extends through the retaining cup extending out of the mesh of opening slots on the face of the abstract shape members and is retained permanently within the opening entrance hole of an adjacent abstract shape member, the bolt head or any stopper means portion of the bolt and retaining cup retained within interior cavities of the abstract shape members; f. wherein a pulling force on at least one of the abstract shape members overcomes the spring biasing forces and enables the bolts to be moved into at least one position on the mesh of opening slots on the surface of adjacent abstract shape members and after the pulled abstract shape members are released, the biasing spring retains the adjacent abstract shape members in that fixed position; g. each abstract shape member having at least one entrance hole on its surface at least one mesh of opening slots, with at least one interconnection mechanism or both; h. the cup diameter being larger than the width of the opening slots; i. the cup diameter being larger than the spring diameter; j. the spring diameter being larger than the bolt diameter; k. the bolt diameter being smaller than the width of the slots; l. the bolt head or any stopper means diameter being larger than the spring diameter; and m. the bolt head or any stopper means diameter being larger than the width of the slots.
