Abstract: An adjustable infant carrier which is outfitted with conversion flaps adapted to allow for selective adjustability to the effective width of the seat portion of the carrier so as to accommodate children of differing size, as well as different support positions/configurations.

Abstract: An adjustable infant carrier which is outfitted with various modalities, including a selectively expandable and retractable seat portion and a selectively deployable sling seat, as allows for varying degrees of adjustability to the effective width of and support level provided by the seat portion of the carrier alone or in combination with the seat sling thereof.

Abstract: A toy musical box having an electronic musical sound reproduction circuit and an electric motor drive for an endless band carrying a continuous picture past a window, so that the musical box can resemble a television set. The operation of the sound reproduction circuit and the motor are remotely controlled by sound impulses from a separate hand-held device, the musical box having a microphone and a discriminator to provide an output signal upon receipt of the sound impulses. Preferably a double sound impulse is acquired to operate the musical box, eg. two clicks one immediately following the other, for differentiation from other extraneous sounds.

Abstract: An inlet valve for a toy water gun comprising an outer hollow sleeve molded from sythetic plastics material having an upstream end and a downstream end, water from a reservoir being arranged to be in communication with the downstream end, an annular seating at the upstream end, and a central plunger molded from synthetic plastics material, the plunger comprising a head having an annular sealing surface capable of engaging the annular seating and sealing thereagainst, an integral shaft slidably received within the hollow sleeve, a stop at the end remote from the head which together with the head retains the shaft in the hollow sleeve, and a passage between the shaft and the hollow sleeve to allow the passage of water past the plunger when the head is not engaged on the seating.

Abstract: A helter-skelter toy having a track-way extending from an upper end to a lower end. A number of baby animal shaped vehicles which can run freely down the track-way. A lifting member in the shape of a mother animal which lifts the vehicles one by one from the lower end to the upper end of the track-way. Means to reciprocate the lifting member between upper and lower ends of the track-way. Magnetic means to engage the vehicles to lift them, these means being retracted through the mouth of the mother animal when the vehicle is aligned with the upper end of the track-way, so ejecting the vehicle and releasing it onto the upper end so that it can run down the track-way.
