  • Patent number: 5382072
    Abstract: A child's highchair can be used as a highchair seat and, after tilting, as a topple-proof rocking chair. For this purpose, two generally triangular lateral frame parts are connected with each other by transverse struts. Two straight edges of the frame parts or two foot members or four corner points of the frame part define a base. Two lateral edges of the frame parts which extend from the base constitute the arcuatety curved runners of a rocking chair. A seat for use as a highchair and a seat for use as a rocking chair are mounted between the frame parts.

  • Patent number: 5299905
    Abstract: A rope drum gear for a child's toy, for example a toy crane, is constructed such that a child can operate an elevating mechanism and a grab spade by way of ropes via the drum gear. A crank handle for actuating the mechanisms is connected to a split rotating drum by way of crank case wheel. The hub of the crank case is constructed as a sun wheel of a planetary wheel gear, which planetary wheel gear is in turn connected with a first half of the split rope drum. The first half of the split rope drum is connected via a rope to the grab spade operating mechanism. The first half of the drum when rotated engages the second hair by way of a clutch mechanism, the second half of the drum connected by a rope to the elevating mechanism of the crane. In this way, a child can reproduce the operation of a full-scale crane in a manner easy to operate and understand for the child.

  • Patent number: 4185412
    Abstract: A toy figure has a head, a trunk, legs and arms wherein accessories such as representations of clothes made from an essentially non-deformable material can be mounted at the region of the trunk. To enable accessories to be mounted easily and reliably, to afford wide freedom in the shaping of the accessories and closely to approximate them to the natural appearance, the front and/or rear of the trunk has at least one detent member at which an accessory can be removable secured by a counterpiece fixed to the accessory. The accessory extends only over the front or rear of the toy figure and laterally around the trunk to about the vertical plane passing through connections of the arms.

  • Patent number: 4044498
    Abstract: The invention concerns toy animal figures with four legs and a rigid, shaped body. In order to achieve as natural an appearance of such figures as possible, also to enable a toy human figure with a realistically small leg spacing to be mounted on the animal figure, preferably with a saddle, the middle of the animal body is formed by a narrow web coverable either by a centerpiece completing the body or by a saddle. When the centerpiece is placed in position no "rider" can be mounted thereon. When, however, a saddle is mounted, in place of the centerpiece, a figure with small leg spacing can "ride" on the animal.

  • Patent number: 3995395
    Abstract: The invention concerns an assemblable toy figure including: a head mounted on one end of a downwardly extending locking bar which has a flattened locking shoulder; and a hollow trunk divided into two havles and journalling arms and legs for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. Each arm terminates in flange engageable in a lateral opening in the trunk and has extensions serving as pivotal axes. The legs engage in recesses at the front of the trunk for pivotal movement and are journalled by laterally projecting pins. For rapid, easy, and optionally mechanised, assembly and reliable locking, oblique surfaces are formed in one trunk half which resilient webs extend downwardly and towards each other with lower edges running perpendicularly to and overlapping the dividing plane. The lower edges of the oblique resilient webs cooperate with the shoulder of the locking bar for locking. Feet, hairpieces and other accessories may also be provided.
