Abstract: A combination amalgam condenser and carrier apparatus employs a base assembly which accommodates a rod. The rod is employed in both a carrier and a condenser position and is located within a plunger member and retained therein by means of a securing member which is positioned between two prongs formed at the end of a lever member. The lever member is pivotally mounted with respect to the handle and by moving the lever, one can operate the apparatus in a condenser position where the rod protrudes from the plunger and in a carrier position where the rod is located within the plunger. The lever member has a clip mechanism which coacts with a latch mechanism located on a carrier base assembly; which base assembly is integrally formed with the rod. The clip mechanism as coacting with the latch provides a locking action defining a condenser position when the lever is pivoted towards the handle.

Abstract: A wheeled vehicle having the appearance of an insect, such as a spider, includes a main body portion housing a drive mechanism for propelling the vehicle across a suitable supporting surface. The drive mechanism is shiftable for operating a cord winch for pulling the vehicle or drawing objects toward the mouth of the spider. A plurality of legs are mounted to the body portion by flexible couplings which permit the legs to engage the supporting surface so that they move randomly, during movement of the vehicle, to simulate a crawling action. A cockpit provided on the rear portion of the body is covered by a transparent shield and provided with indicia to define the control quarters of a mechanical spider device.

Abstract: This invention relates to an easel for supporting a display frame which is adhesively secured to the display frame. The mounting plate of the easel is provided with a series of vertical slots which engage with the tongue of a support arm to angularly support the frame and additionally provided with adhesive material on the back side to allow for attachment to a display frame. The mounting plate is preformed in a channel-like configuration or may alternatively be manufactured as a flat piece and be provided with flexibility producing scoring lines to allow for shaping of the mounting plate into a channel-like configuration. The support arm is additionally provided with stabilizing sway-inhibiting horizontal projections directly adjacent to each of the engaging tongues.

Abstract: A toy hand gun, having a socket formed in the forward end portion of its barrel for coaxially supporting a generally cylindrical fireworks-type novelty item. A trigger member is slidably supported by the barrel for movement toward and away from the handle for igniting an explosive charge contained by the novelty item when its firing cord is connected with the trigger member and quickly extracted.

Abstract: A pop-up toy includes a base having an upstanding first stem, with a piston affixed to the end of the stem, a hollow body having a generally cylindrical bore mounted for upward and downward sliding movement on the first stem, a head portion including a second stem having a piston affixed to the lower end thereof, the stem being inserted through an aperture into the hollow body for upward and downward sliding movement. Also included is a flexible air impact bulb and conduit which communicate with the body so as to pressurize the interior of the hollow body to elevate the body upwardly on the stem of the base and to elevate the stem of the head portion upwardly of the body when the bulb is compressed by an impact.

Abstract: A toy aircraft fighter including a space craft removably supported by a manually actuated turntable and in turn supporting a fighter airplane that may be removed from the space craft. A transparent landing apparatus for the space craft has movable elevator enclosed in an elevator shaft and a string is connected to the elevator to permit it to be manually raised and the elevator moves downwardly by gravity. A pivoted ramp is positioned at the bottom of the elevator shaft with suitable cables being provided for swinging the ramp from operative to inoperative position.

Abstract: A honeycomb frame for a beehive is formed of a plurality of sectional members injection molded of a plastics material. Each sectional member consists of an elongated flat bar integrally secured to a right-angled corner part. One part of the corner part is aligned with a flat bar and the other part extends perpendicularly to the flat bar. The other part of the corner part includes a sleeve portion into which the end of another flat bar is inserted.

Abstract: A wind proof door knob tag especially for use with exterior doors includes integral flexible detent tabs between the opening through which the door knob passes and the opening which conforms to the outside diameter of door knob shaft. The tabs are cammed outwardly upon downward pull over the knob shaft and snap back into position to hold the tag firmly in place on the door knob despite wind conditions, thereby to prevent being blown away. The tab is made of a polyolefin sheet but could be made of a vinyl sheet which at the thickness utilized, prevents unauthorized opening of locks by insertion of this tag between a door and its associated jamb.

Abstract: The invention relates to a doll house having a unique construction of an interlocking front wall and door assembly and an adjacent bay window. The doll house is of the collapsible type having a novel design in its construction. It is constructed of a small number of individual panels which comprise the walls, floors, roof, etc. and a bay window assembly. The panels are provided with grooves and slots so that all the panels slide together easily and support one another. No tools or screws are required for construction and the parts are locked tightly together in a rigid structure by the simple insertion of several small pegs in matching holes provided in the various panels. The doll house has various functional and decorative features including a chimney, rectangular decorative members and an address sign over the main doorway.

Abstract: An animal feeding apparatus comprises an open container, the front portion of which includes an inclined wire mesh ladder which projects outwardly and downwardly from the container and leads to an inclined ramp having a smooth and slippery surface, the ramp extending inwardly and downwardly into the container. A laboratory animal having easily climbed the ladder portion, finds the ramp member slippery, and is therefore restrained from entering the interior of the container. The animal thus remains poised on the ladder, extending only its head into the container to feed, so that food stored in the container remains in a neat and clean condition.
