ABSTRACT:
Pieces of a conventional jigsaw picture puzzle are cut to fit within a frame and over a base. Each piece has a suitable actuator (e.g., a magnet) embedded therein. The base has a switch (e.g., a magnetic switch) located below the location of the magnet of a particular piece when that piece is properly positioned within the frame to "solve" the puzzle. The switches are wired in series with a source of power, a melody generator and an amplifier. When the puzzle pieces are in proper position, the melody generator produces a tune appropriate for the picture of the puzzle. Several different puzzles may be provided fitting within the same frame. For each puzzle there is a key piece. For different puzzles the switch actuator of the key piece of located in a different location. A separate switch is located on the base below each actuator of the key piece and is wired to generate a different tune by being in series with a different melody generator. Instead of generating tunes, the device may actuate lights or speech.
