DESCRIPTION

ACCESSORY SET FOR ASSEMBLING, TRANSPORTING, STORING AND

PROTECT PUZZLES

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention refers, as stated in the wording of the present specification, to an accessory set for assembling, transporting, storing and protecting puzzles, which provides, for the function to which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail. later.

More particularly, the object of the invention focuses on a group of accessory elements that make up a constitutive set of a product intended to facilitate the assembly, transport, storage and protection of a puzzle, either once finished so that they are not disassembled. or the pieces are moved, but also for when it is still in the construction phase, allowing to keep the pieces already in place for later assembly sessions, which, being able to be incorporated with the puzzle itself in the box of the same as an accessory Additionally, it basically comprises several sheets of cardboard or similar with perimeter fold lines that allow the formation of containment edges serving as trays to place pieces, as they are selected, at least one of them being larger and such that Once assembled, the puzzle can be accommodated in a plastic bag of sufficient size to accommodate said assembled sheets and with pieces in them, which is It is provided with a hermetic closure in its mouth as well as a valve with a screw cap, and an air extractor pump suitable for use in said valve, allowing the air to be extracted from the interior of the bag and, thus, to fix the bag to the sheet or sheets immobilizing the pieces located in it.

SCOPE

The field of application of the present invention is framed within the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of board games, focusing on particularly in the field of puzzles or puzzles.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As is known, puzzles can have many pieces; so many that, often, it is not possible to assemble it in a single session, being a frequent problem to find a way to transport it and store it in a place other than the one where it has begun to be assembled without the parts already selected and, above all, the parts already in place, get lost or get out of position.

The objective of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a practical, simple and inexpensive means to solve said problem through the use of clamping the pieces on the surface where they are arranged by applying a vacuum between them and a flexible material. like plastic.

On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, at least by the applicant, the existence of any other accessory set for assembling, transporting, storing and protecting puzzles that presents the same technical, structural and constitutive characteristics is not known. similar to those specifically presented by the one claimed here.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The accessory set for assembling, transporting, storing and protecting puzzles that the invention proposes, enables the aforementioned objectives to be achieved, the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish it conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

Specifically, what the invention proposes, as already indicated above, is a group of accessory elements that make up a constitutive set of a product intended to facilitate the assembly, transport, storage and protection of a puzzle, either once finished so that parts are not disassembled or moved, or for when it is still in construction phase, allowing to keep the pieces that are already selected or that are placed in their position in the image to be formed with the puzzle without moving from their place to be able to continue in later assembly sessions.

To this end, the set object of the invention, which can optionally be marketed together with the puzzle itself within the same box as an additional accessory, for example as a promotional gift product, basically comprises the following elements:

- Several sheets of cardboard or similar, which, presenting a rectangular configuration, have perimeter fold lines that allow the formation of containment edges on all sides so that they can be transformed into a kind of trays, serving to place pieces, as they are selected, either separated by colors, by corners, etc. according to the technique of each user, as well as to place them in place to form the image of the puzzle, since at least one of said sheets is of such a size that it can accommodate the puzzle once assembled,

- A flexible plastic bag, of a size and shape suitable to house said assembled sheets inside and with pieces in them, at least to house the larger sheet to form the puzzle, which is provided with a hermetic closure in its mouthpiece as well as a valve with a screw cap, and

- an air extractor pump, preferably manually operated, suitable for use in said valve of said bag, to be able to extract the air from inside the bag once the sheets have been incorporated with the pieces and closed hermetically, with which, said pieces are immobilized, being easily transportable without moving as well as to store and protect them.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, it can be seen in them an example of a non-limiting embodiment of the accessory set for assembling, transporting, storing and protecting puzzles of the invention, which is described in detail below.

Thus, as can be seen in said figures, the set (1) of the invention, which can be marketed together with a puzzle (2) for which it is intended, incorporated within the same packaging box (not shown), comprises:

- several sheets (3, 3 ') of cardboard or similar for the placement of the puzzle pieces (2), where at least one is larger (3) and such that it can accommodate the puzzle (2) once assembled, while the rest are sheets of smaller size (3 ') to separate pieces selected by groups,

- A flexible plastic bag (4) of a size and shape suitable to house, at least, the largest sheet (3) with the puzzle (2) assembled or in the assembly phase, which is provided with a hermetic closure (5) in its mouth (6) and a valve (7) with screw cap (8), and

- An air extractor pump (9), suitable for use in the valve (7) of the bag (4), by means of a male and female threaded coupling, and to be able to extract the air from the interior once the sheets (3, 3 ') with the parts and hermetically sealed.

Preferably, the sheets (3, 3 ') are rectangular in configuration, like the bag (4), and have perimeter fold lines (3a) whose folded upwards, as shown in Figures 2-A to 2 -D, allows the formation of a containment flange (3b) on all its sides that prevents the pieces (2) placed on them from falling out of it. Figures 3 and 4 show the larger sheet (3) once the containment flanges (3b) have been assembled, with and without the pieces of the puzzle (2) incorporated, it should be understood that said containment rim (3b) can also be formed in the smaller sheets (3 ').

In the preferred embodiment, the set (1) comprises a larger main sheet (3), for the formation of the image of the puzzle (2), and two smaller sheets (3 ') to separate selected pieces, according to color , image, edge, corner, etc. and to facilitate assembly, since they are half the size of the larger sheet (3) to be able to fit inside it with the containment flanges (3b) formed, as shown in figure 5.

Preferably, both the larger sheet (3) and the smaller sheets (3 ') are incorporated into the puzzle box folded one or more times at its center, so that they take up less space before use, for which, optionally also They have pre-marked central fold lines (3c), which, in turn, can serve as a guide to cut the sheets to a smaller size, depending on the size of the puzzle.

Preferably, the hermetic closure (5) of the bag (4) is a sliding or zip type closure with a sliding pin (5a).

Preferably the air extractor pump (9) is manually operated.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is stated that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example. , as long as the fundamental is not altered, changed or modified.
