Abstract: A magnetic driving mechanism for a moving display includes a guide track secured to a base of the display, a magnet driver arm rotatably supported on the base, and a driving assembly for rotating the driver. A magnet support is mounted in a slot of the driver and capable of radial and rotational movement as it travels in the guide track. A turning mechanism allows the magnet support to turn as it travels in the guide track.

Abstract: Crawling and movement simulating doll that makes waking up and falling asleep gestures, comprising a mechanism located inside a body make of resilient material which incorporates a doll's head and is provided with mechanisms acting on the eyes and mouth, the internal mechanism generating a plurality of movement and sound stages as a result of the direct action of a battery-powered motor on the mechanism, thereby causing a rhythmic action of said mechanism for moving the head and arms and for providing the crawling action, acting according to specified stages through internal contactors in cooperation with the parts comprised in the mechanism.

Abstract: Disclosed is an oil coating roller composed of a coating fluid holding member comprising a porous hollow cylindrical molded body impregnated with a coating fluid, such as silicone oil, with a driving shaft inserted through the hollow portion thereof, both ends of the coating fluid holding member being fixed to the driving shaft, and felt fabricated of heat-resistant fiber wounded around the outer surface thereof, wherein the porous hollow cylindrical molded body is fabricated of heat-resistant fibers bound to each other with a binder and has an average pore size of 15 to 50 .mu.m and a porosity of 50 to 80%. The oil coating roller can be produced with ease, stably feeds the coating fluid for an extended period of time, and is particularly suitable for applying silicone oil to a fixing roller of an electrostatic copying machine.

Abstract: The present invention is a stepstool for children with an automatic electronic message mechanism. The stepstool comprises a main housing including a horizontal step and a substantially vertical support having a bottom which rests on a compressive pod which in turn rests on a floor surface. Attached to the inside of the back side of the stepstool is a message mechanism whose switch is activated when weight such as that of a child is introduced to the horizontal step portion of the stepstool. The message mechanism comprises an on/off switch, power source, message chip, audio driver and a speaker which plays a predetermined message when the on/off switch is activated.

Abstract: An insert-connecting toy which is insert-connected by several irregular construction units, in which, said construction units are dividing into meta-elements and sub-elements; the thickness of the thinnest sub-element is taken as an unit thickness; and the thicknesses of the other sub-elements are integer number times the unit thickness; several grooves are arranged on the meta-element, and the width of said groove and the width of the laminate convex bank formed by said grooves are all integer number times the unit thickness; and several grooves are also arranged on at least one of the sub-elements, and the width of the groove and the width of the laminate convex bank formed by said grooves are also integer number times the unit thickness; and therefore a multiple insert-connecting model can be constructed. So said construction units can be insert-connected into stereo animal models which are lifelike in shape, vivid in mold-making and very attractive to children.

Abstract: A toy construction set connection device consists of a shaft and a shaft bushing. The bushing consists of two bushing parts which are fixedly mountable on the shaft. By means of an axial or rotational displacement of the second bushing part relative to the first bushing part, the whole shaft bushing can be anchored in a desired transverse groove on shaft. The anchoring may be released by pulling the second bushing part from the first part.

Abstract: A toy doll having a kiss activated play feature includes a doll having a torso, arm and leg appendages, and a head pivotally secured by a neck extension to the torso. A plurality of sparkle elements are supported on the doll exterior and an electronic energizing circuit for the sparkle elements is supported within a cavity located in the doll torso. The head is supported by a neck extension in a pivotal attachment in which a switch supported within the torso is actuated by backward motion or tilting of the doll head with respect to the torso. A return spring is provided which urges the head to a vertical position and which resists the backward tilting of the head. The child actuates the flashing of the sparkle elements by kissing or caressing the face or frontal area of the doll head with sufficient force to overcome the spring and tilt the head back a sufficient distance to actuate the flashing switch.

Abstract: A figure placed into a first unit and watched through a transparent door is made to disappear and simultaneously to reappear in a remote second unit from which it may be removed. The first unit, also referred to as the sending unit, comprises a housing which includes a multi-chamber turntable which can contain one or more figures. A door in the first unit includes a half silvered mirror and an additional chamber so that a figure in a turntable chamber can be made to seem to dissolve and disappear. A second multi-chamber unit, also referred to as a receiving unit, substantially identical to the first, is connected to the first unit by wires. Selected chambers of the second unit are filled with figures substantially identical to the figures to be sent by the first unit. Initially, a first figure is placed into the first unit. The transparent door closes and locks and the figure seems to dissolve by the transfer of lighting to the additional chamber in the door.

Abstract: A music box subassembly and a vehicle structure which incorporates the music box subassembly in such a way that the vehicle structure is useful both as a toy vehicle and also as a collectible music box. The vehicle structure offers selectable operating options. In one operating option, the music plays as the vehicle rolls, and in the other operating option, the vehicle "freewheels", without playing music which makes it attractive as a toy vehicle. Moreover, the vehicle structure is designed to incorporate a music box which is capable of producing rich, resonant sound of high quality, and to drive the music box with a precision designed to take advantage of the sound producing qualities of the music box. Also, the vehicle structure is designed to produce rich, resonant sound of high tonal quality music in a relatively compact package, which is attractive in both the toy and collectible art.
