Patent number: 11707693Abstract: Described is a wind-up ride on toy with wind-up mechanism to propel a rider. The ride on toy comprises a body portion having a seat portion. A first axle is rotatably connected with the body portion, while a pair of wheels are connected with the first axle. The wind-up mechanism has an elastic band and a rotatable spool. The elastic band is fixed at a first end within the body portion and is attached with the rotatable spool at a second end. Additionally, the rotatable spool is operably connected with the first axle, such that winding the elastic band around the spool causes the elastic band to transition from a relaxed state to a stretched state and, upon allowing the elastic band to return to the relaxed state, the spool rotates the first axle and pair of wheels, thereby causing the wind-up ride on toy to propel forward.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: JAKKS PACIFIC INC.Inventors: Jack McGrath, Damian Mucaro

Patent number: 9526998Abstract: A perpetual spinning toy is described. The spinning toy includes a body component and a motor housed within the body component. A power source is housed within the body component and electrically connected with the motor. Finally, a spinning wheel is connected with the motor. Thus, when the motor is activated, the motor spins the spinning wheel, thereby causing the toy to spin. The toy also includes an impact trigger and stop mechanism, both of which are connected with the body component. The stop mechanism is also operably connected with the impact trigger. The stop mechanism includes a latch that is connected with the impact trigger and a plurality of spring-loaded wings that are pivotally connected with the body component, such that upon impacting the impact trigger, the wings are released from the catch, causing them to swing outward.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2012Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: JAKKS Pacific, Inc.Inventors: Jon Hudson, Dominic Laurienzo, Jared Wolfson, Jeremy Padawer, Dennis Lee Chi Wai, Timmy Tsui Ka Tim, Jim McCafferty, Greg Leong, Steven Douglas DeLacy

Patent number: 9233728Abstract: The present invention relates to a convertible scooter ride-on and, more particularly, to a convertible toy that converts between a scooter and ride-on toy. The convertible scooter ride-on includes a base with a plurality of wheels attached thereto and a seat portion pivotally attached with the base. A handle pole is pivotally attached with the seat portion. Notably, the seat portion and handle pole are convertible between a first ride-on configuration in which the seat portion operates as a seat for a rider and a second scooter configuration in which the seat portion and handle pole are pivoted up and securely locked into an erect position, whereby in the scooter configuration, a user can stand on the base.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2014Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: JAKKS Pacific, Inc.Inventor: Damian Mucaro

Patent number: 9127900Abstract: A toy launcher that can launch multiple consecutive devices into a spin is described. The toy launcher includes a housing adapted to receive an item to be launched. The housing includes a bunching mechanism to force the item from the launcher. Additionally, a protrusion is positioned in front of the launching mechanism such that art item launched from the launching mechanism engages with the protrusion, forcing the item into a spin as it exits the launcher.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: JAKKS Pacific, Inc.Inventors: Jon Hudson, Dominic Laurienzo, Dennis Lee Chi Wai, Timmy Tsui Ka Tim

Patent number: 9120025Abstract: A rotatable core is described. The core includes a cylindrically-shaped housing having an indentation area. The indentation area is formed to guide a user where to place their finger for launching, such that by pressing down on the indentation area, the core is forced against a ground surface, which causes it to spin away from the user. Additionally, the core includes a housing with a cavity therein for receiving the object. A release mechanism is attached with the housing. The release mechanism includes a connector for connecting with a corresponding connector on the object and an expelling mechanism for expelling the object. Upon activation of the release mechanism, the connector releases the object and the expelling mechanism forces the object from the housing.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2011Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: JAKKS Pacific, Inc.Inventors: Jon Hudson, Dominic Laurienzo, Jared Wolfson, Jeremy Padawer, Jim McCafferty, Greg Leong, Steven Douglas DeLacy, Dennis Lee Chi Wai, Timmy Tsui Ka Tim

Patent number: 8974264Abstract: A figurine launcher is described. The figurine launcher includes at least two shell components. The shell components are hingedly attached with one another to move between an open position and a closed position. An open mechanism is attached with at least one of the shell components and is adapted to allow a user to selectively separate the shell components when in the closed position. A launch positioning mechanism is attached with at least one of the shell components. The launch positioning mechanism is adapted to engage with a figurine and conceal the figurine within the housing when the shell components are in a closed position. Alternatively, when the shell components are in an open position, the launch positioning mechanism is adapted to move the figurine into a launch position. When in the launch position, the user can compress the shell components to force the figurine from the launcher.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2012Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: JAKKS Pacific, Inc.Inventors: Jim McCafferty, Greg Leong, Dominic Laurienzo, Rip Lopusnak
