Abstract:
All-shape building blocks may be shaped as platonic solids. All-Shape building blocks include a flange on each tetrahedron edge, where each flange and each tetrahedron vertex may include magnetic materials (e.g., magnets, ferromagnetic metals). All-Shape building block flanges may be used to capture kinetic energy from a fluid. Multiple All-Shape building blocks may be combined to form larger structures, and the included magnetic materials may be used to retain the formed geometric structure shape.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a lamp and fan design to generate the comfort and freshness feeling in a room, wherein the lamp and fan is portable and has a lampshade which is not fixed to the lamp but rather remains mobile based on sustainability principles by favoring the arrangement of said lampshade at a variable height relative to the fan.
Abstract:
A toy having a humanoid body and a jet pack is provided. The toy includes a first fabric portion partially ejected from a first aperture in the jet pack in response to a lever being moved from a first position to a second position. The toy further includes a fan disposed in the body that blow airs across the first fabric portion. The toy further includes a first light emitting diode that illuminates the first fabric portion when the first fabric portion is partially ejected from the first aperture such that the first fabric portion simulates flames being emitted from the jet pack.
Abstract:
A manually operated air-driven music box which will generate music at a relatively constant tempo as a user moves the music box back and fourth in opposite directions through the air. The music box has a rotatable drum cylinder to activate tone arms. A first propeller on one end of a drive axle and a second propeller on an opposite end of the drive axle rotate the drive axle as the music box is moved through the air. A gear mechanism for the drive axle rotates the drum cylinder in the same direction as the drive axle is rotated by the propellers. The first propeller is constructed to rotate in a counterclockwise direction and the second propeller is constructed to rotate in a clockwise direction.
Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling operating features of a model train includes a plurality of selection devices, each of which corresponds to a respective operating feature of the train. The apparatus also includes a controller connected to the selection devices of the apparatus. The controller is operative to generate digital or DC offset messages corresponding to the selection devices. The apparatus further includes a transmitter connected to the controller. The transmitter is operative to send the digital or DC offset messages that are generated by the controller to a receiver located on the train in order to carry out the desired functions. This invention provides for at least a single button output of complex messages.
Abstract:
A switching arrangement capable of being actuated by an application of an air current with a playset component, a movable member for receiving an application of an air current relative to the playset component wherein the movable member for receiving an application of the air current is movable in response to the application of the air current, and an arrangement for actuating a response to a movement of the movable member for receiving an application of the air current. The switching arrangement can be electrical or non-electrical. Where the switching arrangement is electrical, it can cause an electrical signal to be produced in response to a sensed movement of the movable member.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling emission of fragrances into a given area such as a room or a region of a yard; and more particularly the creation of a desired atmosphere within the given area. In addition, the invention involves a volatile substance dispensing device (200) having mounted therein a plurality of reservoirs (31) storing a volatile substance, and a plurality of atomizer assemblies (34) for emitting volatile substances communicated thereto by the reservoirs (31). Preferably, a microcontroller (50) controls the emission of the volatile substances in accordance with preferred programs.
Abstract:
A wind power driving auxiliary lamp comprises a seat, a generator, a transparent cover and a circuit device. The seat has two supporting frames. The generator has a blade set and a small power generator firmly secured to a blade groove of the blade set. The blade set and the small power generator are positioned between the two supporting frames. The blade set and the small power generator rotate synchronously. A circuit device includes a circuit board in the transparent cover and a light emitting body set on the circuit board. In moving, air will push the blade set so that the small power generator and the blade set rotate synchronously, the small power generator will rotate with the central pivotal shaft so as to generate direct current power to be supplied to the light emitting body set.
Abstract:
A novelty which has a head and appendages coupled to a body via coupling elements, and includes one or more rotating members so as to add dynamic and aesthetic beauty to any garden, kitchen or other setting.
Abstract:
A novelty comprising a fan member defining an enclosure and having at least one support to the rotably mount a fan which is of lightweight construction and which rotatively moves to fluid impingement thereon such as from air and wherein the fan member is of see through material so that the fan is visible to an observer.
