MECHANISMUS ZUR UNABHÄNGIGEN BEWEGUNG DER TEILE EINES DREIDIMENSIONALEN GEGENSTANDES UND DESSEN ANWENDUNGEN

摘要

Apparatus for enabling parts of the surface of a three-dimensional object (1) to be moved relative to each other. Applications include orientation of instruments on the surface of e.g. a satellite or a logic puzzle. Objects with eight external segments (1, 300, 500) are disclosed and it is shown how these can be adapted to form an object with thirty-two interchangeable segments (400). Some embodiments may also be adapted to form an object with twenty-six interchangeable segments (100, 200).
