  • Patent number: 5733167
    Abstract: A building element (10) for a constructional building set comprises a housing (11, 12) and a light source (15) mounted in it. The light source (15) is mounted on a rotatably mounted member (14) spaced from the axis of rotation (13) of the member. The housing (11, 12) includes a wall having a plurality of light exit openings (16) through which the light from the light source (15) can leave the housing (11, 12), when the light emitter (15) has been aligned with one of the light exit openings (16) by rotation of the rotatable member (14). The rotatable member (14) can be coupled with an external drive device (20) and is enclosed by the housing (11, 12). The rotatable member is freely rotatable about its axis of rotation (13) with respect to the housing (11, 12).

  • Patent number: 5713782
    Abstract: A baby rattle (1) comprising two rattle portions (2,3) and an elongated elastic spacer element (4) which connects the two rattle portions (2,3), wherein the two rattle portions (2,3) have mutually complementary coupling portions (5,6) which allow the two rattle portions (2,3) to be coupled to each other, and wherein the weight of the two rattle portions (2,3) and the rigidity of the elastic spacer element (4) are adjusted relative to each other so that the elastic spacer element (4), like a column, may in itself support the one rattle portion (2,3) when the elastic spacer element is maintained substantially vertically upright relative to the second rattle portion (3,2), and wherein the mutually complementary coupling portions (5,6) possess sufficient coupling force to keep the two rattle portions (2,3) together despite the force applied from the elongated elastic spacer element (4) by coupling of the rattle portions (2,3).

  • Patent number: 5707271
    Abstract: A toy car (1) is provided which has a car box (10) on which two wheels (20) are rotatably mounted. Each wheel (20) has an eccentric disc (21) at the side facing the car box (10). The sidewalls (16) of the car box (10) have longitudinal grooves (27). These are engaged by guide cams of skid places over the corresponding wheel (20). When the car is pulled, the wheels rotate, the eccentric disc (21) moves which causes the skid to reciprocally move. The car thus simulates foot movement.
