Abstract: A new simulated blooming flower for simulating the blooming of a flower when water is added. The device includes a container having a sieve therein which defines a reservoir. The sieve has a plurality of drainage apertures. An elongate stem extends from the sieve with the lower end of the stem positioned adjacent the sieve. A rod is disposed in the stem and a float is disposed in the reservoir and coupled to the lower end of the rod. Coupled to the upper end of the stem is a simulated flower having a plurality of simulated petals which are positionable between a closed position and an open blooming position. A plurality of actuating members is provided within the flower with upper ends of the actuating members positioned adjacent to the petals of the flower and lower ends of the actuating members positioned over the stem. A stamen assembly pushes the actuating members when the stamen assembly is upwardly extended such that the petals of the flower member are moved towards the blooming position.

Abstract: In an artificial-flower toy apparatus operative in response to sensing of external sound, a sound-sensing operational unit is contained within a container and includes a motor which has a driving shaft. The sound-sensing operational unit senses the external sound to drive the motor. An artificial-flower dancing unit is contained within the container and includes an angularly movable shaft and at least one artificial flower which has a stem and a core rod inserted in the stem. The core rod of the artificial flower has a lower end portion which is connected to the angularly movable shaft for angular movement therewith about an axis of the angularly movable shaft. The artificial flower is mounted on the container in an upstanding manner. The angularly movable shaft is interlocked with the driving shaft of the motor for angular movement about the axis of the angularly movable shaft, so that the artificial flower is danced by the motor of the sound-sensing operational unit.

Abstract: A device incorporating an erectile member that becomes erect upon being partially immersed in water. The erectile member is formed from a flexible tube that contains a hydrophilic material. The hydrophilic material swells when hydrated, pressurizing the tube and causing it to become erect. A decorative feature may be added to one end of the erectile member, such as a simulated flower blossom, and the device may be displayed in a vase. The device may be designed to return to its original drooping state once it has consumed all the water in the vase. Other features and embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: A display unit for point of sale advertising comprises a stationary object, such as a real or simulated flowering plant, mounted on a support, such as a flowerpot, and a flying object, such as a simulated butterfly, operated by driving apparatus so as to move in a randomly undulating and randomly reversible orbit around the plant, as would a real butterfly. The driving apparatus comprises an electric motor having a motor housing stationarily mounted on the flowerpot, a stator including a stationary field coil electrically energizable by alternating current mounted in the motor housing, and a rotor in the form of a bipolar permanent magnet rotatably mounted on an upright magnetizable metal shaft on the motor housing. The driving apparatus further comprises a thin resiliently flexible length of piano wire having its lower end mechanically connected to and rotatable by the permanent magnet rotor and having the simulated butterfly mechanically connected to its upper end. In operation, energization of the field coil produces a magnetic field which causes the permanent magnet rotor, the wire and the simulated butterfly to rotate in one direction. However, a predetermined mechanical load imposed on the permanent magnet rotor effected by random striking of the simulated butterfly against the plant, or by random horizontal and vertical excursions of the simulated butterfly in its orbital path, or by random "hand-up" of the permanent magnet rotor on its shaft, causes the rotor to periodically and frequently reverse its direction of rotation. The resultant effect is to cause the simulated butterfly to flutter about the flowering plant as would a real butterfly.
