Abstract

Dual geometry puzzles are formed of a continuous loop of polyhedrons connected by hinges. The polyhedrons include first type polyhedrons having a first geometry and second type polyhedrons having a different second geometry. Each of the polyhedrons includes at least one magnet disposed proximal to at least one face thereof. The puzzles are configurable between a first inverted configuration and a second inverted configuration. The first inverted configuration and the second inverted configuration are congruent parallelepipeds, e.g., having an aperture disposed there through. All outermost surfaces of the first inverted configuration are mutually exclusive from all outermost surfaces of the second inverted configuration.

Abstract

Puzzle kits include a first puzzle and a second puzzle, each of which is formed of a plurality of polyhedral modules, or polyhedrons, connected by hinges in a continuous loop. Each polyhedron includes four faces, six edges, and at least one magnet disposed adjacent to at least one face. Magnetically stabilized assemblies of the first puzzle and the second puzzle form at least a convex polyhedrons, such as a cube.

Abstract

Pentahedral module puzzles include a plurality of pentahedral modules connected by hinges in a continuous loop. Each pentahedral module comprises at least one magnet. The pentahedral modules include mirror image pentahedral modules connected by the hinges in an alternating sequence. The magnet(s) of each pentahedral module has a different polarity from the magnet(s) of each adjacent pentahedral module in the alternating sequence. In any embodiment, each of the pentahedral modules may comprise a shell and a cover enclosing a cavity, wherein a first groove is formed in a first interior surface the cavity, the first groove being at least partially delimited by a stop block and receiving a first magnet therein.

Abstract

Wands of the present disclosure have features that increase entertainment value, improve portability, durability, and balance, making the wands especially well-suited for use in creative routines. The wands include a middle section or an end section that at least partially houses a light engine, and at least one pole configured to couple to the middle section or end section in an axially-aligned assembly. The light engine causes the pole to transmit light.
