A walkie-talkie unit having a speaker connected to a radio transceiver for normal transmitting and receiving functions, plus a selectively actuatable audio signal generator. The generator generates one of a plurality of distinct signals of different frequency in response to a hand manipulatable actuator. When the walkie-talkie is in a transmitting mode the signal is transmitted to another walkie-talkie. When the walkie-talkie is in a receiving mode the signal is amplified by the generating walkie-talkie.

A pop-up crib toy including a head mounted on a rod with a cylindrical gear rack. The rod is slidably carried in a tube included in a housing for a motor driven gear segment. Engagement of the teeth on the gear segment with the cylindrical rack drives the head up from the housing in opposition to a gravity bias which lowers the head upon disengagement of the gear segment teeth from the rack teeth. In the wall of the tube a serpentine slot is provided in which a pin carried by the rod rides to turn the head from side to side as it moves up and down. L-shaped paws extending from the housing hang the character over the edge of a crib.

A video game in which the player must fill mugs from a keg and slide the filled mugs down a bar to advancing thirsty patrons to repel the patron out the bar. The player controls movement of a host image from one horizontal bar to another and laterally along a bar plus the filling of mugs. If any of the thirsty patrons reach the keg end of the bar the player loses a turn. Repelled patrons are delayed while drinking and then return the empty mugs. Unless the empty mugs are caught by the host the player loses a turn. A turn is also lost if the player serves a full mug and there is no thirsty patron awaiting it. From time to time a tip will appear on one of the bars which the host image may pick up causing dancers to appear for an interlude during which some of the patrons turn to watch. While watching the patrons neither advance nor are thirsty. Bonus entertainment racks are periodically introduced during which six cans are displayed. Five of the cans are shaken and the cans then exchange positions after which the player must select the one unshaken can to obtain bonus points.

A portable, elevated, ball receiving game apparatus including an open topped, closed bottom lightweight plastic basket supported upon a single, central, elongated stem. The end of the stem opposite the basket is securable in a base having radially extending feet sufficient to support the apparatus upon a generally planar surface. Pegs are provided to further secure the base into a relatively soft ground surface. The stem is made of a tubular plastic material of a diameter of approximately one inch so as to permit a player to grasp the stem at a point intermediate the basket and the base and by exerting a force in a plane generally transverse to the generally vertically oriented axis of the stem effect sufficient, repeated, displacement of the basket from its initial orientation to cause the ball to be ejected out of the basket. To enhance portability and storage as well as to provide for varying heights of the elevated basket, the stem is preferably made of connectable sections.

A toy vehicle and a launcher includes an integral latch mechanism for holding the vehicle in a biased position and an actuating member for selectively releasing the latch. The vehicle includes an elongated tube of substantially dense, rigid material defining a frame to which wheels may be secured. The tube is encased within a soft, resilient, open cell foam material such as polyurethane foam which has been molded in the form of a vehicle body. A resilient, biasing member is mounted within the tube and is held in a compressed state by the latch. The launching member includes connection means to permit the connection of a series of launching members.
