Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0045913A1] An animated puzzle (10) includes a base having an outer wall (12) and generally planar surface (13) which receives a plurality of multi-ply curved interlocking puzzle pieces (30-41). The puzzle pieces combined form a single larger image (figure). The base further supports a pivotable lever (50) having a gear segment (52) thereon which extends into a recess also formed in the base. A pair of animated elements (60, 61) define respective gears (62, 65) on the reverse sides which mutually engage each other and the gear segment (52) formed on the lever. As a result, pivotal movement of the lever (50) produces corresponding pivotal movements of the animated elements (60, 61).
