BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a jigsaw puzzle, and more particularly to a jigsaw puzzle assembly having multiple subassemblies to be assembled respectively so as to form a complete picture and a frame assembly to secure the assembled jigsaw puzzle pieces on top of a base assembly. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Jigsaw puzzles are popular toys for children and even adults. Conventional jigsaw puzzles generally have planar pictures which have been cut up into pieces, and then the pieces are fitted together to recreate the pictures. The quantities of pieces in puzzles can be varied by manufacturers so that assorted difficulty levels in doing the puzzles are achieved in order to satisfy consumer demands. [0005] There have been some jigsaw puzzles invented that are called three-dimensional puzzles. One of the three dimensional puzzles is composed of cubic pieces that each have six surfaces painted with various patterns and that can be recombined to form six pictures corresponding to the respective surfaces of the cubic pieces. [0006] Another three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle has a three dimensional frame being composed of horizontal brackets and vertical brackets. The brackets have a plurality of apertures defined therein. Puzzle pieces with poles can be mounted on the brackets by the poles being inserted in the apertures to form a three-dimensional shape. [0007] In a third three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, there is a plurality of sheets painted with the same picture. The sheets are cut according to the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. The pieces are respectively adhered with the sheets and have different numbers. Whereby, the pieces have different thicknesses and the picture is recreated by the pieces so as to present a three-dimensional effect. [0008] Although various jigsaw puzzle games do meet the players' requirements to allow the players to gradually solve the puzzle by putting the puzzle pieces of the same feature together, there is no jigsaw puzzle available in the market to allow the players to assemble subassemblies of the jigsaw puzzle first and then to combine the assembled subassemblies to form the predetermined picture. Furthermore, there is no structure to preserve the picture after the jigsaw puzzle is completed. [0009] To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide an improved jigsaw puzzle to mitigate the aforementioned problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a jigsaw puzzle having multiple subassemblies to be assembled so that the user is able to assemble one subassembly at a time and then combine the subassemblies. [0011] Another objective of the present invention is that a frame assembly is provided to the jigsaw puzzle so as to preserve the picture after the jigsaw puzzle is finished. [0012] Still another objective of the present invention is to provide a securing device to the frame assembly to firmly combine the frame assembly so that the picture is protected. [0013] Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0014] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the jigsaw puzzle of the present invention; [0015] FIG. 2 is a subassembly of the jigsaw puzzle of the present invention; [0016] FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the subassembly of the jigsaw puzzle of the present invention; [0017] FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 are perspective views of the rear sides of the puzzle piece blocks of the subassembly of the puzzle piece blocks of the present invention; [0018] FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view showing the combination between a puzzle piece block and a secondary frame; [0019] FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view showing that a joint is provided to a bottom face of the base unit to enable one base unit to be assembled with another base unit; [0020] FIG. 8A is a side plan view showing the structure of the joint; [0021] FIG. 9 is a cross sectional view showing the assembly among one of the puzzle piece blocks, the base unit and the joint; Continue reading about Jigsaw puzzle assembly...
