Abstract: The device comprises a casing composed of a bottom tray having an upstanding pivot post and a hinged cover having an open window. Three concentric flat rings have partial designs embossed thereon to provide raised design portions, the inner ring being rotatable about the post, the intermediate ring rotatable about the inner ring and the outer ring rotatable about the intermediate ring. By individually rotating or angularly positioning the rings relative to each other, any of the partial designs can be radially aligned to form a composite design. After the composite design has been formed, a piece of paper is placed over at least the segments constituting the preselected design. Closing of the cover on the tray clamps the rings in a fixed relation with each other so that the user can then rub a marking implement, such as a colored pencil or crayon, over the portion of the paper appearing in the open window in order to transfer the preselected design onto the overlying paper.
Abstract: The doll illustrating the toy figure includes an ingestion system having an inlet opening and an outlet opening. A resilient or flexible tube connects the inlet opening to the outlet opening. The resilient tube includes a straight longitudinal section within the doll's body. A carriage unit is constrained for rectilinear movement relative to the straight section, a roller movable with said carriage unit performing a persistalic pumping action as it is progressively moved downwardly along the straight section of the tube. A manually actuated lever connected to the carriage unit permits a child to move the carriage unit downwardly, the lever projecting through a slot in the back of the doll's body. Provision is made for only partially collapsing the tube as the carriage unit is returned to its initial position by means of a roll spring.

Abstract: The toy vehicle launcher includes lower and upper casing units, the upper unit being slidable in a rectilinear direction relative to the lower unit. Rubber feet on the lower unit frictionally engage the playing surface onto which the toy vehicle is launched. The vehicle is acted upon by a ram having a gear rack in mesh with a relatively large circular gear. Two relatively small circular gears are in mesh with a gear rack on the lower casing unit. All three gears are mounted for rotation in unison on a shaft journaled in bearing plates integral with the upper unit. Manual actuation of the upper casing unit in one axial direction relative to the lower casing unit causes the ram to push the toy vehicle, thereby launching the vehicle.
