摘要： A device for simulating a flashing warning light utilizes a drive mechanism having an escapement feature, permitting free rotation of a light-reflecting rotor following actuation by a manually operated lever. The rotor body is of generally inverted cup-like configuration, and has a slanted flat wall portion on which the reflective surface is disposed.

摘要： An optical illusion-producing rotating toy includes a rectangular support housing and a generally cylindrical rotatable housing mounted on the support housing for free rotation about a vertical axis. The rotatable housing has at least two three-dimensional display areas, chambers of compartments angularly disposed about the axis. An axis extension of the rotatable housing projects beyond the support housing for gripping to impart rotation of the rotatable housing. The rotatable housing is provided with a resilient pair of engageable fingers proximate the support housing, and a pair of selection latching members are provided on the support housing each of which has a portion which may be selectively moved for engaging one of the fingers to almost instantaneously stop the rotation of the rotatable housing in a predetermined position. This brings into view one of the display areas at a fixed point of observation. Observation of any one display area is made difficult until the rotatable housing is stopped and, depending on which latching member is actuated, an object in one display area may be made to disappear and reappear by successively bringing that display area and an empty display area into view. A case may be used to house the toy, with foldable panels which unfold to form a play area or environment of which the rotating toy forms a part. The housing rotation may be done by electrical motor means, and the stopping by electromagnetic means.

摘要： A glove puppet figure has wings capable of simulating flapping movement while producing an audible sound, and driven by a mechanism that is uncomplicated and yet effective. The figure may have a head component that can be moved, by manipulation of the operator's finger, relative to a body which is held substantially immobile on the operator's hand, and the glove empolyed is not only functional but also contributes to aesthetic appeal. The wings are removably mounted to the body by flexible coupling members. The wings are fabricated from a synthetic resinous laminate and provides an iridescence to the wings.

摘要： A toy power supply having a battery power pack and a pair of conductive leads extending therefrom; each lead having an output contact element connected thereto and the electrical output contact elements may be individual elements or form part of a glove, mitten or prong-like electric power wand or "prod". The output contact elements are compatible with pairs of input contact elements on electrically actuated toys and accessories, such as dolls. In operation, the output contact elements operate in effect as a kind of switch, and upon said contacts properly engaging a pair of input contact elements of a toy, whatever toy one is operating will then start to function, whether it is a motor or light or other accessory.

摘要： A bubble blowing figure toy having a hollow torso configured with a head portion defining a mouth opening and a squeezable body portion. An operative device is arranged substantially within the torso of the figure toy for generating bubbles from a bubble forming liquid applied to the mouth opening. In response to squeezing of the figure toy, a stream of air is directed toward the mouth opening to facilitate bubble formation into either a large bubble or a series of generally uniform smaller bubbles. The operative device includes a mouthpiece, an air bladder, and an air duct. The mouthpiece is arranged at the mouth opening of the toy and to one end of which the bubble forming liquid is applied. The air bladder generates an air stream, and the air duct connects the air bladder with the mouthpiece. The air duct is configured to inhibit ingestion of bubble forming liquid into the air bladder. A valve in the air duct further facilitates bubble formation.

摘要： A glove puppet assembly, in the form of a spider-like creature, has a tail or abdomen portion which can be articulated by wrist action. It may also have an articulated, finger-operated head component, and utilizes a gripping ring holder and a glove member which facilitate movement of its parts while, in the case of the glove member, also contributing to the aesthetic effect. A plush covering may be provided upon a section of the body member, particularly the tail portion.

摘要： A glove puppet assembly simulating a creature with movable claws has a body member and forwardly extending claw members with lever arm portions which extend into the cavity of the body member. A bell crank assembly in the cavity is pivotally connected to the inner ends of the lever arm portions, and an actuator connected to the bell crank assembly extends outwardly of the body member so that it may be manually actuated to pivot the bell crank assembly and cause the forward ends of the claw members to move relative to each other. A glove is secured to the lower outer surface of the body member and has a finger thereof extending through a ring portion on the actuator so that the user's finger may be pivoted downwardly to provide the desired manual action. The creature also includes a tail member pivoted to the body member, and it is pivotable by relative motion between the forearm and hand of the user in the glove.

摘要： Card dispenser for participating games involving an element of chance sequentially dispenses a stack of random cards placed into the device. The dispenser includes a hopper having a dispensing opening and a track divided by uniformly spaced upwardly directed transverse ribs into a series of adjacent co-planar card receiving surfaces. Elongate guide members on the track and mating channels on downwardly depending skirts on the hopper permit the hopper to move relatively to and along the track to bring the dispensing opening into registry with successive ones of the card receiving surfaces, the hopper advancing the lower-most cards in the stack until deposited on a surface while the transverse ribs prevent movement of the deposited cards in the direction of hopper movement and therefore retain the cards in the deposited positions thereof.

摘要： A maze has two opposing substantially coextensive walls one of which forms an inner three-dimensional form or shell and the other which forms an outer form or shell. Each of the shells is generally in the form of a cube and the inner shell is fixedly positioned within the outer shell so as to maintain a predetermined, uniform distance between the inner and outer walls. The outer wall is formed with a network of channels which, together with the inner wall, define a corresponding network of passageways. The passageways on each side of the outer cube are connected to the passageways on the adjacent sides of the cube so as to form interconnected passageways which permit one or more marbles, for example, to move through the passageways on one or more sides of the cube with changes in orientation of the maze in space. Apertures are provided in at least one passageway on each side of the cube for providing points of entry and exit for the marbles into and out of the maze. By selective changes in orientation of the maze in space marbles within the maze can be made to move through the passageways without escaping through the apertures.
