Abstract: A toy has a figure of a human or animal. The figure has a body made of a fabrics material and at least one appendage made of a soft flexible material. The appendage has a fabric piece fused to it during making and is joined to the body by stitched the fabric piece to the body.

Abstract: A wall descending toy has a housing and a moveable part. A sticky wheel is located with the housing to facilitate movement of the housing down an inclined or vertical surface. There is a mechanical link moveable with movement of the housing and which causes movement of the moveable part.

Abstract: A doll has a figure of a human or an animal and an outer layer of a flexible gelatinous compound covering the figure so as to provide a skin-like characteristic. The figure may have a part that is made of a soft resilient material and in covering that part the gelatinous compound is bonded to a stretchy elastic textile.

Abstract: A lanyard or key chain having a non-coiled body with two connecting ends. The body is made of a resiliently deformable material and is stretchable between extended and retraced states.

Abstract: A bubble-squeezing toy includes a hollow body formed of flexible plastics material having low stretchability and an aperture; a liner formed of flexible plastics material having high stretchability and located within the hollow body and having a portion adjacent to the aperture that can stretch through the aperture to form an external bubble upon squeezing of the body.

Abstract: A storage device for writing or drawing implements includes a holder adapted to receive writing or drawing implements. A paper roll is wrapped around the holder. A guide is positioned adjacent to the paper roll and against which the paper can bear. A base is attached to the holder. Rotation of the base effects rotation of the holder and dispensation of paper from the roll past the guide. A sharpener is located in the base of the device.

Abstract: A recreational ball has a self-supporting flexible wall surrounding an internal space. One side of the wall has first features that extend into or at least face the internal space, and the other side of the wall has second features at the ball exterior. A hole in the flexible wall allows the first features to pass to the ball exterior as the ball is turned inside-out.

Abstract: A humanoid toy that under the influence of gravity will travel down a vertical surface, while tumbling as sticky regions temporarily and in turn stick to the surface in known manner, the toy comprising a body and two pairs of limbs that are hingedly connected to the body. Each limb is formed in two parts that are hingedly connected together intermediate its length.

Abstract: A humanoid toy figure having a body with a sticky region at the end of each limb that temporarily adhere to vertical surfaces and cause the body to tumble down the surface in a manner already well-known. The sticky region is connected to the body by a resilient tie that allows or causes the body to drop vertically due to the weight of the body stretching the tie . If there is no weight on the tie , the sticky region will be held against a remote end of the respective arm.

Abstract: A wall walker toy car has a wheel with a sticky undulating surface. The wheel is mounted on a pivotable bracket which provides a cover for an aperture in a base of the car. For wall-walking mode, the bracket is manually rotated so that the surface is partially exposed to engage a vertical surface. In the configuration shown in the Figure, the surface of the wheel is wholly inside the car and so cannot be contaminated with dust and debris.

Abstract: A wall walker toy car has a wheel with a sticky peripheral surface that normally extends partially out of a car body. The wheel is supported on a pivotable frame that responds to impact on a part, which would move relatively, to allow the frame to move up under the action of a spring cushion. A second position of the wheel is shown dotted where the wheel is fully retracted into the body so that the sticky surface is less exposed to dust and dirt and therefore has a longer serviceable life in practice.

Abstract: A toy beetle which travels down a vertical surface under the influence of gravity has four movable limbs which are arranged in pairs at opposite ends of an axle that is rotatable about a transverse axis of the beetle. Sticky materials at the ends of the limb adhere temporarily to the vertical surface in use. According to the orientation of the beetle with respect to the vertical the beetle will either, in somewhat random fashion, walk or tumble down the surface.

Abstract: A safety lawn dart having a blunt deformable nose section. The blunt nose section is a safety feature permitting use of the lawn dart without fear of the injury associated with the use of existing lawn darts having pointed tips. A shock-absorbing telescopic intermediate section may be added to increase the deadening effect upon impact of the dart with the ground or target. A tail section is fixably or slideably and rotatably mounted on the dart shaft to promote aerodynamic stability.

Abstract: A toy adapted to crawl down a vertical surface has a frame carrying a shell at one end and a roller at the other. The roller has a corrugated surface of soft tacky material such that the roller will roll slowly down a vertical surface.

Abstract: A toy is disclosed having a spring-loaded inner vehicle or projectile therewithin. An outer shell surrounds the inner vehicle, and the outer shell has a base at one end thereof constituting the rear of the shell. A spring is interposed between the inner vehicle and the base for resiliently biasing the inner vehicle away from the base in a forward direction. The outer shell has a portion thereof movable with respect to the base between a closed position in which the outer shell at least in part encloses the inner vehicle and holds the inner vehicle fixed with respect to the base while maintaining the spring in its compressed state, and an open position in which the shell portion is clear of the inner vehicle such that the spring may propel the inner vehicle forwardly with respect to the base portion.
