Abstract: A riding type toy comprising an animal-like structure which has a generally ellipsoidal body, an upright neck and head portion. A pair of handhold bars extends from opposite sides of the head. The body has a lower surface and an upper surface for a child to sit on and grip the handhold bars so as to rock and rotate the lower surface of the body slidably on a ground surface. A bumper guard extends around the body between the lower and upper surface to limit rocking in any direction. On the upper surface of the body a shallow dish-like basin seat is formed with a pair of arcuate channels extending therefrom to act as leg supports for the rider. Replaceable coverings simulating different animals may be secured to the body by suitable fastenings.

Abstract: A reel for transporting a coiled electric cord a substantial distance from an electrical source of power to activate an electric appliance. The reel comprises a spool-like body having interior cone-shaped journals rotatably supported on matching cone-shaped bearings mounted on an axle. An elongate handle is rotatably mounted at one end of the spool for holding the reel and a shorter handle affixed to the other end of the spool to rotate the same about the longitudinal axis of the axle. The transfer of electricity to an appliance is provided by means of an electrical receptacle secured to the spool. The reel incorporates adjustable means for regulating the rotation of the spool to compensate for varying tensile loads on the cord.
