Abstract

A movable puzzle platform includes a board assembly having a puzzle board with a puzzle plate and a fixing portion extending from the puzzle plate, a supplement arrangement having a supporting portion attached on a bottom surface of the puzzle board and having a first main supporting wall attached on the bottom surface of the puzzle board, and a restricting wall upwardly extended from the fixing portion of the puzzle board and having a first extending wall stacked on the fixing portion of the puzzle board. The first extending wall and the fixing portion of the puzzle board are successively stacked on the first main supporting wall. The puzzle platform is configured for retaining all the unfinished pieces and while allowing the player to conveniently play puzzles.

Claims (41)

1. A movable puzzle platform comprising:

a board assembly comprising:

a puzzle board comprising a puzzle plate and a fixing portion extending from the puzzle plate;

a supplement arrangement comprising a supporting portion having a first main supporting wall attached on the bottom surface of the puzzle board; and

a restricting wall having a first extending wall upwardly extending from the fixing portion and stacked on the fixing portion of the puzzle board;

wherein, the first extending wall and the fixing portion of the puzzle board are successively stacked on the first main supporting wall; and

wherein the supporting portion further comprises a second main supporting wall attached on the bottom surface of the puzzle board and disposed apart from the first main supporting wall, the restricting wall further comprises a second extending wall extended from the fixing portion of the puzzle board and disposed apart from the first extending wall, the second extending wall and the fixing portion of the puzzle board are successively stacked on the second main supporting wall.

2. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 1 , wherein a side of the fixing portion is exposed out of the first extending wall and the first main supporting wall.

3. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 1 , a side of the fixing portion is exposed out of the second extending wall and the second main supporting wall.

4. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the supporting portion further comprises a first inner supporting wall attached on the bottom surface of the puzzle board for improving the structural strength of the puzzle board.

5. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a base attached on the supporting portion.

6. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 5 , wherein the base comprises a plurality holding portions positioned spaced from each other and connected with the supporting portion.

7. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 6 , wherein the base is integral with the supporting portion as a whole.

8. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 5 , further comprising a rotating assembly attached on the base directly.

9. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a rotating assembly attached on the board assembly.

10. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 9 , wherein the rotating assembly is attached on the supporting portion directly.

11. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 9 , wherein the rotating assembly is attached on the puzzle board directly.

12. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a kickstand pivotally coupled at the board assembly.

13. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the restricting wall is an unclosed structure for forming a surrounding opening.

14. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the supplement arrangement further comprises at least one drawer cavity formed by the supporting portion together with the puzzle plate, at least one puzzle drawer received in a corresponding drawer cavity, and at least one complementary conformation provided between the puzzle drawer and a corresponding supporting portion for allowing the puzzle drawer to be slid on the supporting portion.

15. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 4 , wherein the supporting portion further comprises a first dividing supporting wall positioned below the bottom surface of the puzzle board for improving the structural strength of the board assembly.

16. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 4 , wherein the first main supporting wall comprises a first fixing space for fixing and receiving the first inner supporting wall.

17. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 4 , wherein the first inner supporting wall is exposed from the first main supporting wall.

18. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 15 , wherein the restricting wall further comprises a third extending wall extended from the fixing portion of the puzzle board and partly overlapped with the first dividing supporting wall in a thickness direction of the board assembly.

19. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 9 , wherein the rotating assembly comprises a first moving member, a second moving member rotatably coupled to the first moving member and at least one ball bearing sandwiched between the first and second moving members, the second moving member comprises a flat second middle portion and a second projecting portion extending from a center of the second middle portion toward the first moving member for engaging with the ball bearing together with the first moving member.

20. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 9 , wherein the rotating assembly comprises a first moving member, a second moving member rotatably coupled to the first moving member and a bearing unit coupled between the first and second moving members and comprising a plurality of retaining holes and a plurality of ball bearings being rotatably retained in a corresponding retaining hole in a rotatable manner, each of the retaining holes comprises at least one locking opening and a connecting hole smoothly connected with the locking opening, a diameter of the locking opening is slightly smaller than that of a corresponding ball bearing for locking the ball bearings in position respectively while allowing the bearings in a free rolling manner.

21. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the restricting wall comprises a pair of extending walls connected with each other and each of the extending walls comprises an inner surface, an outer surface opposite to the inner surface, and a pair of side surface connecting the inner and outer surfaces, the side surface of one extending wall is engaged with the side surface of another extending wall.

22. The movable puzzle platform, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the restricting wall comprises a pair of extending walls connected with each other and each of the extending walls comprises an inner surface, an outer surface opposite to the inner surface, and a pair of side surface connecting the inner and outer surfaces, the side surface of one extending wall is engaged with the inner surface of another extending wall.

23. A movable puzzle platform comprising:

a board assembly comprising:

a puzzle board comprising a puzzle plate and a fixing portion extending from the puzzle plate;

a supplement arrangement comprising a supporting portion having a first main supporting wall attached on the bottom surface of the puzzle board; and

a restricting wall having a first extending wall upwardly extending from the fixing portion and stacked on the fixing portion of the puzzle board; and

a rotating assembly attached on the board assembly;

wherein the first extending wall and the fixing portion of the puzzle board are successively stacked on the first main supporting wall.
