Abstract: A method of producing an anti-slip shoe sole makes use of a shoe sole forming die having a plurality of independent, projection-forming cavities in the bottom thereof. The cavities open to a reverse side of the die through respective escape holes connected to the cavities. A foamable, unvulcanized green rubber containing hard fibers dispersed therein is set in the shoe sole forming die. Heat and pressure are applied to the unvulcanized green rubber to cause the unvulcanized green rubber to fill the cavities and further to flow into the escape holes, thereby forming a shoe sole blank having projections integral therewith. Buffing is effected on the bottom portions of the projections, thereby allowing ends of the hard fibers to appear in the ground-contact surfaces of the projections.

The timer is actuatable for set periods of time and it is operative for oscillating the receiving wall between obstructed and unobstructed positions wherein the receiving opening is obstructed and unobstructed, respectively. Game play is effected by actuating the timer and propelling the game elements toward the receiving opening at times when the receiving opening is in the unobstructed position so that the game elements are receivable in the receiving opening.

Abstract: An action toy game device includes a base, a timer on the base, a plurality of disc-like game elements, a game element retaining mechanism, a game element engaging mechanism and a game element ejecting mechanism. For use of the game device the timer is actuated for a set period of time and the game elements are removably retained and rotated in a substantially vertical stack by the game element retaining mechanism. The engaging mechanism is then manipulated by a game player for individually engaging the game elements so that they are removed from the stack. In the event that all of the game elements have not been removed from the stack upon the expiration of the set period of time, the remaining game elements and the retaining mechanism are ejected by the ejecting mechanism.

Abstract: A toy-game device includes a base, a timer in the base actuatable for a set period of time, a rotatable platform operatively connected to the timer for rotation during the set period of time, a plurality of magnetically responsive game elements receivable on the platform, a receiving member on the base and a magnetic retrieving mechanism for retrieving the game elements from the platform and for depositing them in the receiving member. The game elements have opposite magnetically responsive and nonmagnetically responsive sides and the device includes a turnover mechanism for individually turning the game elements over to position the magnetically responsive sides thereof in upwardly facing relation so that they can be retrieved with the retrieving mechanism.

Abstract: A toy-game apparatus includes a base, a timer in the base actuatable for a set period of time, a slide assembly on the base, a plurality of game elements and a character figure assembly. The slide assembly includes upper and lower slide portions which are operative in substantially aligned normal positions wherein the game elements can move downwardly along the upper surfaces thereof, slightly upwardly pivoted interfering positions wherein movement of the game elements thereon is impeded and further upwardly pivoted interrupted positions wherein movement of the game elements thereon is prevented. The character figure assembly is responsive to the timer for moving the slide portions between the interfering and normal positions thereof during the set period of time and for moving the slide portions to the interrupted positions thereof upon the expiration of the set period of time.

Abstract: An action-toy game apparatus includes a base, a timer in the base, a rotatable platform on the base, a plurality of game elements, a retrieving mechanism, a receiving member, an upsetting mechanism and a tethered character figure. The timer is actuatable for a set period of time and the platform is operatively connected to the timer so that it rotates during the set period of time. The game elements are positionable on the platform and they are magnetically retrievable therefrom and repositionable in the receiving member with the retrieving mechanism during the set period of time. The upsetting mechanism is operative for upsetting any game elements remaining on the platform upon the expiration of the set period of time and the tethered character figure is operatively connected to the timer so that it is drawn toward the base during the set period of time.

Abstract: A microcassette tape comprising a tape housing including top and bottom case halves, a reel, a tape mounted on said reel, a rotating shaft for the tape reel, a pinch roller provided at the front of the tape housing, and a capstan between which the tape passes during endless revolutions of the tape. A guide is provided for preventing the tape from being misdirected and caught around the pinch roller and a wall is provided as a part of the tape housing for preventing the tape from slackening as it passes between the pinch roller and the capstan on a tangential path to the guide member which prevents the tape from being caught by the pinch roller. A further guide element is provided which prevents the tape from falling off the tape reel. A hole is provided in one of the halves of the tape housing which permits insertion of a shaft member for taking up any tape slack which develops in the passage of the tape from the tape reel to the pinch roller.

Abstract: An action toy game apparatus includes a base, a timer in the base, a plurality of magnetically responsive ring-like game elements, a feeder mechanism for individually feeding the game elements to a feeder station, and a magnetic support mechanism for individually magnetically receiving the game elements from the feeder mechanism and for moving them in a substantially circular path which is spaced upwardly from the base. The apparatus further includes a retrieving mechanism which is operable for individually retrieving the game elements from the support mechanism as they are moved in the substantially circular path and a removing mechanism for removing any of the game elements from the support mechanism in the event that they are not retrieved with the retrieving mechanism.

Abstract: An action toy game device includes a base, a timer in the base, a plurality of puzzle elements which are adapted to be assembled in predetermined assembled positions on the base, and a disassembling mechanism which is responsive to the timer for disassembling any puzzle elements which have been assembled on the base in the event that all of the puzzle elements have not been assembled in the assembled positions thereof before the expiration of a set period of time. The disassembling mechanism preferably includes an action toy element which is receivable on the base and a mechanism for preventing the advancement of the timer before the action toy element is received on the base.

Abstract: A two wheeled toy vehicle with a driving mechanism having a frictional driven wheel, an inertia type flywheel, two gear trains with a clutch gear driving apparatus and an operating member of the clutch gear driving apparatus. One of the gear trains is a gear wheel of a rear wheel, a clutch gear and a floating gear and a first non-displaceable gear and a flywheel gear, and the other of the gear trains is for transmission of rotation from the flywheel to the rear wheel through a second non-displaceable gear, and the clutch gear. The clutch gear is disposed on a movable clutch axle which is connected to the operating member of the clutch gear driving axle which is connected to the operating member of the clutch gear driving apparatus on which a doll is pivotally mounted. The doll has a pair of legs pivotally mounted on a frame and is mounted astride the toy vehicle.

Abstract: A toy wheeled vehicle with an inertia wheel having friction driven wheels, an inertia type flywheel, gear trains of a driving mechanism, and a sound generator which is provided coaxially with the flywheel. The driving mechanism includes two groups of gear trains, one is for the flywheel energizing mechanism through a clutch gear and a detachable floating gear and the other is for the rotation transmission mechanism from the energized flywheel to the friction driven wheels through the clutch gear and a stationary gear which is always engaged with the flywheel gear and is detachably engaged with the clutch gear. The energized flywheel which is detached from the floating gear and the wheels through the clutch gear continues to rotate when the wheels are stopped, and when the clutch gear is engaged with the stationary gear, the inertia rotation of the flywheel is transmitted to the wheels, and the sound generator produces the sound of a siren while the flywheel rotates.
