Abstract: An apparatus is provided, which includes a plurality of elongated strands having joinder regions uniting adjacent strands at a distance along a length of an outer perimeter of the elongated strands, the elongate strands being configured to couple together for a distance along their lengths. The elongated strands form a surface of a mesh when the joinder regions are coupled. The apparatus may further include a manducable protrusion coupled to the mesh and extending a distance away from an exterior surface of the mesh.

Abstract: A toy apparatus includes a first component having a mesh structure and a second non-mesh component. The mesh structure includes a plurality of connected loop structures. The first component and the second component are configured to attach to one another to form a toy apparatus. The mesh component and the non-mesh component may have differing colors and/or tactile characteristics to provide an appealing and interesting toy.

Abstract: A toy apparatus includes a mesh formed of at least one loop structure assembly, each of the loop structure assemblies including at least one loop structure. Each loop structure defines a loop opening having a shape selected from a circular opening, an oval opening and a polygonal opening. A plurality of loop structure assemblies can be joined together to form a toy apparatus, with each loop structure assembly including an outer perimeter having at least one mating surface disposed at least partially around the outer perimeter for coupling to at least one adjacent loop structure assembly.

Abstract: A roller toy apparatus is provided. The roller toy apparatus may include a handle including a grasping portion, an elongate portion and a ball coupling portion, the ball coupling portion including a pair of left and right extensions, each of the left and right extensions including a respective mount extending inwardly into an interior region of the ball coupling portion. The roller toy apparatus may further include a ball rotatably coupled to the ball coupling portion. The ball may be formed of a mesh having a plurality of loop structures, each loop structure surrounding a void, and where each of a pair of loop structures is rotatably coupled to a respective mount of the ball coupling portion, to thereby rotatably couple the ball to the handle.

Abstract: A toy ball apparatus is disclosed herein that includes a mesh defining an outer surface of the toy ball apparatus. The mesh includes four mesh components that are coupled together to enclose a closed volume, each mesh component including a plurality of loop structures, each loop structure having a curved inner perimeter surface formed to at least partially surround a hole communicating with the closed volume and surrounded at least partially by a polygonal outer perimeter. Each mesh component has cooperative mating surfaces formed along an outer perimeter of the mesh component, the cooperative mating surfaces being formed along at least a portion of the outer perimeter of each of a plurality of the loop structures in the mesh component. The adjacent mesh components are joined together along the cooperative mating surfaces.

Abstract: A toy apparatus having a surface is provided. The toy apparatus may include a mesh including a plurality of loop structures having cooperative mating surfaces disposed at least partially around an outer perimeter of each loop structure. The plurality of loop structures may have curved inside perimeter surfaces, and the cooperative mating surfaces of adjacent loop structures may be configured to couple together for a distance along their lengths.
