Abstract: A flexible jewelry tether for a finger ring or bracelet, prevents the ring or bracelet from turning upon the finger or wrist and enables the ring or bracelet to fit upon fingers or wrists of different circumferential sizes, securely and comfortably; keeping the ring or bracelet not only securely tethered to the finger or wrist, but in such a way that the ring or bracelet can move with the movement or the wearer's body and return to the desired orientation. The device is made of a flexible material such as 20 durometer medical grade silicone.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, there is provided a lightweight delivery device, in order that children of all ages can experience the joy of watching payloads such as parachutes, confetti, and the like, being delivered to significant heights and returning slowly to the earth. This is accomplished by providing a hollow and visually interesting shape, which is first hinged open and filled with a desired payload. The device is then closed, bound with a cord and thrown high into the air. A flag, attached to the free end of the cord, causes the device to rotate, as it travels towards the apex of its flight, and allows the cord to unwind. Centrifugal force eventually opens the unbound device and the contents are ejected into the air.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, there is provided a lightweight, hand held launcher for the purpose of furnishing children with a means of throwing safe objects, such as soft foam balls, a greater distance than would be possible with the bare hands alone. By combining the basic elements of a handle and a lever attached to a large, tapered, tubular shaped receptacle, a launcher is disclosed, which is both simple and safe for children to use. The invention enables a child to quickly and easily launch specifically sized objects, provided with the launcher, while making the launching of rocks, dirt, or other dangerous objects nearly impossible, since these types of items either do not fit inside the receptacle or pass through it and out the open bottom.

Abstract: An air pressure powered toy rocket launcher is herein disclosed. The launcher is comprised of a flexible plastic vessel attached to an assembly of rigid plastic tubes. A vertical section of the tube assembly has an open end. When water is poured into the open end, a closed cell foam plastic rocket, having a center bore, can be fitted over the vertical tube. With the launcher containing a measured amount of water and the rocket in place, a child jumps onto the flexible vessel to both fire the rocket and send a plume of water high into the air. The invention provides a satisfying visual experience while showering water down upon nearby spectators.

Abstract: A projectile adapted for being discharged from a suitable firing device such as a gun, slingshot, cannon and the like. The device includes a three-dimensional shaped body constructed of a foam material and which may include such as a disc shaped, conical arrow shape or spherical ball shape. A plurality of LED lighting elements are supported within the foam material body at specified locations and are visible from a surface of the body. A battery is supported within the body and electrically communicates the LED lighting elements. A switch accessibly is located upon the body and selectively engages or disengages the battery with the lighting elements and in order to provide an illuminating effect to the projectile as it is discharged from the device.

Abstract: The proposed invention is a mechanical, battery powered, swimming fish toy, incorporating a single motor and speed reduction gear assembly. Said swimming fish toy is controlled by an embedded electronic controller, making it capable of swimming in a truly random pattern within a fluid medium, independent of any external influence.

Abstract: An air pressure projectile launcher toy comprising at lease one soft foam projectile and a telescopic tube assembly, adapted on one end for releasably securing a projectile, and capable of generating a high speed compressed air stream, which is buffered by a large available air volume, intended to accelerate lightweight foam projectiles without generating an undesirable shock wave, caused by the rapid build-up of high internal pressures, thereby making it possible for children to launch safe foam projectiles with less effort and increased accuracy.

Abstract: A shoulder carrier having at least one shoulder strap connected to a container. A lumbar support attached to the container bears on a wearer's hip or lumbar spine to transfer weight of the shoulder carrier to the hip or lumbar spine and away from the wearer's shoulder. The shoulder strap can include a shoulder pad, and both the shoulder pad and lumbar support can be or include a fluid-filled bladder. The shoulder pad can be slidably attached to the shoulder strap to prevent abrasion of the wearer's shoulder. At least one end of the shoulder strap can be attached to the container by passing the strap through a guide attached to the container and attaching the shoulder strap end to the container at a position below the guide.

Abstract: A bubble-making toy provides a container structure having a main compartment for containing bubble solution and an outside compartment within which a bubble forming ring can be positioned. The main compartment and outside compartment can be opened to one another by way of a valve so that the bubble forming ring can be brought within the bubble solution and where the main compartment and outside compartment can be closed to one another during bubble generation by a user. Such a bubble-making toy reduces the possibility of bubble solution spillage during non use or storage of the bubble-making toy and during the time of bubble generation. Moreover, the design allows easy access of the bubble forming ring to the bubble solution. The provision of an adequately sized outside chamber also advantageously permits a bubble ring with a filling of bubble solution to be shielded until the time when a user intends to create a bubble.

Abstract: A projectile toy includes an outer projectile member made of foam. A cap mechanism is contained inside the projectile member. A foam shaft and fin structures may extend from an end portion of the foam projectile member.

Abstract: A jumping device having a high rebound platform, a flexible tether operatively connected at a first end thereof to the high rebound platform, and a handle located on the tether. A method of jumping, including providing a jumping device having a high rebound platform, a flexible tether operatively connected at a first end thereof to the high rebound platform, and a handle on the tether, mounting the jumping device by placing a user's foot on the high rebound platform, grabbing the handle, pulling the handle away from the high rebound platform, and jumping so that the high rebound platform alternates between compressed and uncompressed states.
