This is an invention that concerns the construction of three-dimensional
logic toys, which have the shape of a normal solid, substantially cubic
in shape, and N number of layers in each direction of the
three-dimensional rectangular Cartesian coordinate system, said layers
consisting of smaller separate pieces. Their sides that form part of the
solid's external surface are substantially cubic. The said pieces can
rotate in layers around the three-dimensional axes of the coordinates;
their visible rectangular surfaces can be colored or they can bare
shapes, letters or numbers. The construction is based on the
configuration of the internal surfaces of the separate pieces using
planar, spherical and mainly right conical surfaces, coaxial to the
semi-axis of the coordinates, the number of which is .kappa. per
semi-axis. The advantage of this construction is that by the use of these
.kappa. conical surfaces per semi-axis, two solids arise each time; the
first has an even (N=2.kappa.) number of layers per direction visible to
the user, whereas the second has the next odd (N=2.kappa.+1) number of
visible layers per direction. As a result, by using a unified method and
way of construction, for the values of .kappa. from 1 to 5, we can
produce in total eleven logic toys whose shape is a normal geometric
solid, substantially cubic in shape. These solids are the Cubic Logic
Toys No N, where N can take values from N=2 to N=11. The invention became
possible after we have solved the problem of connecting the corner piece
with the interior of the cube, so that it can be self-contained, can
rotate unobstructed around the axes of the three-dimensional rectangular
Cartesian coordinate system and, at the same time, can be protected from
being dismantled. This invention is unified and its advantage is that,
with a new different internal configuration, we can construct--apart from
the already known cubes 2.times.2.times.2, 3.times.3.times.3,
4.times.4.times.4, 5.times.5.times.5 which have already been constructed
in many different ways and by different people--the next cubes from N=6
up to N=11. Finally, the most important advantage is that it eliminates
the operational disadvantages that the already existing cubes have,
except for the Rubik cube, i.e. 3.times.3.times.3.
