摘要:
A sequence association game in which a participant may play one or more games against the machine and/or other participants utilizes a microprocessor for controlling the play of the games and also for generating a random sequence for each play of the game. The machine generates a random sequence correspondence between a plurality of participant actuated controls and a plurality of machine actuated indicators. The participant attempts to actuate the indicators by correctly establishing the random-generated correspondence between the controls and the indicators in an attempt to actuate all the indicators in sequence such as from left to right. The participant attempts to actuate the indicators with the least number of attempts by attempting to remember the association between respective controls and indicators from previous attempts. When played between two participants, each participant attempts to actuate or deactuate a designated set of indicators by operating a designated set of controls with the participant first succeeding being the winner. Two participants may also play with one participant starting from the left of the indicator sequence and one participant starting at the right with each attempting to actuate the maximum number of indicators with play proceeding until all the indicators are actuated.

A space toy in the form of a vehicle includes a base and rotatably mounted vehicle body. The body of the vehicle rotatably mounts a plurality of exterior pods and includes removable, shuttle craft portions. A manually operable rack mechanism is operative to rotate the vehicle body in one direction while rotating the pods in an opposite direction. A plurality of toy figures are provided and cooperatively engage portions of the vehicle body, pods and shuttle craft to provide a realistic and operative space vehicle. Shock absorbing cushions on the base portion are provided with sounding mechanisms which are actuated upon manual operation of the body rotating rack mechanism.

A game apparatus providing a challenge or test of manipulative skills to be performed within a predetermined time period, the length of which may be partially controlled by the operator. The apparatus provides a timed, sequential release of color coded playing pieces which traverse an inclined path of travel to be manually captured by the player of the game. The player attempts to deposit the playing pieces in particular locations in a depository array as dictated by one of a plurality of playing cards including indicia associated with the color coded playing pieces. The depository array includes a plurality of subsets, each of which includes an ejector mechanism, which, upon actuation, ejects the playing pieces deposited within that particular subset. Each particular subset of the depository array is associated with a timing mechanism so that the actuation of the associated ejector mechanism can be successfully delayed by skillful operation of a plurality of delay control devices. The playing piece ejectors of all of the depository array subsets are actuated after the last of a predetermined number of playing pieces have been released. This ejector actuator can be successfully disabled after completion of the array by deactivation of the times as dictated by the rules of the game.

An apparatus for creating designs on a substrate such as a sheet of paper includes a frame with a platen mounted on the top thereof. The platen is loosely mounted for vibratory movement relative to the frame. A drive cam, through a link system, is connected to the platen to slowly move the platen in one direction and then rapidly move the platen in a directly opposite direction. A writing implement, such as a pen or pencil, is mounted in a generally vertical position on the substrate on top of the platen, to move with the platen as it is driven slowly in a first direction and then to move relative to the platen as it rapidly returns. The link means is selectively manually rotatable to permit changing the orientation of the vibratory movement of the platen and substrate.

A sculpturing kit and method for producing dehydrated sculptured forms from hydrated articles, such as apples or other fruits and vegetables. The sculpture kit includes a transparent heating chamber for mounting an article on a base which includes an incandescent heating source mounted therein. A plurality of templates are provided for use by the sculptor to shape an apple, for instance, into a facial or other form prior to the dehydration process within the heating compartment. The kit also includes a heat drip shield which prevents liquid extracted from the article from contacting the light source, as well as a plurality of sculpturing tools.

A trainer tee and guide assembly that creates a target zone leading a bat swung by a player toward a ball placed at a fixed elevated position above ground. The acceptance angle of the target zone is adjustable to accommodate different angles of swing as the player gains greater skill in the course of training. The assembly includes a U-shaped frame having upper and lower horizontal branches whose free ends terminate in vertically-separated blocks between which the ball is placed, the frame being raised to place the ball at a level appropriate to the height of the player. Pivoted on the blocks are upper and lower guide arms which extend laterally to the left or right of the blocks to define a target zone whose angle of acceptance depends on the angular orientation of the arms. The arms are angularly adjustable to vary the acceptance angle in a range going from a low skill angle in which the arms diverge in opposite directions about 45 degrees from the horizontal to accommodate large angle swings of the bat, to a high skill angle in which the arms are nearly parallel to each other to accommodate a level swing of the bat affording maximum power.

A toy vehicle and a handheld pneumatic launcher combination includes a piston and an elongated hollow cylinder with a flange adjacent one end of the cylinder providing grips for a child which simulate an airplane control yoke. While supporting lateral extensions of the flange with the fingers of each hand, the child's thumbs are free to press upon an actuator at one end of the piston forcing the piston head into the cylinder. Attached at the other end of the elongated cylinder, in pneumatic communication with the cylinder, is a launch tube that fits into a socket adjacent the bottom of a toy vehicle that is made predominantly of a lightweight plastic foam. The axis of the launch tube is preferably offset from the axis of the cylinder. In addition, the launch tube is tapered and has a closed end with perforations through the sidewalls of the tube adjacent the closed end.

A toy vehicle having a front to back dimension includes a body with a forward end and a rearward end. The body carries an extendable tail section adjacent the rearward end for extension from a retracted position adjacent the rearward end to an extended position for increasing the front to back dimension of the vehicle. When the vehicle encounters a change in the angle of the playing surface or a force is otherwise exerted on the distal portion of the extendable section, a motor driven gear engages a rack and drives the extendable section away from the body of the vehicle.
