Abstract: A toy vehicle includes first, second, and third subassemblies. The second and third subassemblies are each configured to be selectively coupled to the first subassembly. A plurality of wheels are configured to be coupled to the first subassembly.

Abstract: The disclosed educational snap-together toy vehicle system is exemplified in this application as a set of cars and trucks. The vehicles are broken down into four primary components: a main body, front clip, rear clip, and roof. The body parts are snapped together by a contrasting color, plastic three-element connector system consisting of: a fixed universal socket; an intermediate shaped-socket coupler; and a fixed shaped socket.

Abstract: A method is provided for training different members of a musical group to perform a selected rendition of a musical work. The method comprises providing a pre-recorded media with a plurality of tracks relating to the musical work. One track includes a professional group performing their rendition of the musical work. At least one additional track emphasizes a particular performer, while de-emphasizing the other performers of the professional group. At least an additional track de-emphasizes a particular performer, while emphasizing the other performers. The pre-recorded media is employed in accordance with the method by first playing the track with all members performing so that the member of the musical group can determine how the musical work should sound. Next, the member of the musical group listens to the track that emphasizes his or her performance to learn specifically how that performance should sound. The roles of the other performers can be de-emphasized.

Abstract: The dispenser is for dispensing viscous products, has an ergonomic shape, and an automatic closure. The closure opens promptly upon initiation of an actuator and before the flow of viscous product from the dispenser. Further, the closure closes the dispenser outlet at the end of the return of the actuator to its rest position. Further, an outlet valve from a pump chamber remains open as an inlet valve to the pump chamber opens. This causes a suckback of viscous product near the dispenser outlet to flow into the dispenser. The automatic closure does not close as dispenser outlet until the suckback of viscous product has occurred. The automatic closure also functions as a knife or blade to assist in cutting the viscous product to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the package.
