摘要:
A flexible flag has a plurality of spiral shaped wire elements carried by the flexible flag body. The wire elements are mounted for rotation about generally parallel axes along a vertical support. Gearing between a motor and the elements rotates the elements. The elements have portions spaced from their end portions offset from the axes of rotation. Those elements are in phase or out of phase relative to one another. Rotation of the elements causes a rippling or waving effect in the flag simulative of a flag waving in the breeze.

Each roller skate includes front and rear pairs of wheels longitudinally spaced from one another and carried by a frame for rotation about longitudinally spaced axes in a first configuration of the roller skate. A parallelogram linkage connects the wheels and the frame. By displacing the linkage, the wheels are movable into a second configuration wherein the wheels are in-line one behind the other and rotatable about transverse axes longitudinally spaced from one another. The wheels may be locked in the first configuration and biased for movement into the second configuration. Alternatively, the wheels may be locked in both configurations by a combined brake pad and locking assembly.

The toy figure includes a plurality of telescoping sections mounting a head portion and base portion for extension and retraction relative to one another. A body portion is mounted on the telescopic sections between the head and base portions and is moveable along the figure and retained in selected adjusted positions therealong independently of the telescoping action of the sections whereby the body portion can be disposed at any elevation between the head and base portions for any height of the figure.

The three-dimensional board game includes a plurality of playing surfaces at different elevations relative to one another, with each surface having playing spaces forming part of the predetermined path of movement of playing pieces along the playing surfaces from start to finish. Tubes depend from the playing surfaces terminating at their lower ends adjacent lower playing surfaces whereby playing pieces inserted into the tubes at one level descend through the tubes for egress at the playing surface at another level. The playing pieces or tubes are provided with air passageways with sound generators therein to provide an audible sound upon descent of the playing pieces within the tubes.
摘要:
A toy which, in response to a complex sound such as human speech generates a train of audio pulses. The pulses are psuedo-random with respect to frequency composition and to duration, thus simulating syllabic speech. Provisions are also described whereby the length of the pulse train is made random.

A toy flying craft including provisions for generating realistic engine whines in accordance with the attitude of the craft. Provisions for simulating weapons fire are also disclosed.

A brush with a variable edge includes a handle with proximal and distal end portions, a bristle pack extending outwardly from an opening in the distal end portion and including individual sets of bristles of a predetermined width that together form a continuous edge, and a slide mechanism for adjusting the length of each individual set of bristles so as to vary the shape of the edge.
