Patent number: 4248433Abstract: An action game in which a plurality of elongated playing pieces are placed in upstanding condition on a game board in selected positions in an attempt to form a continuous unbroken line of playing pieces from one player's king playing piece at a playing station at one end of the game board to the opponent's king playing station at a playing station at the other end of the game board. If the playing pieces are properly set in such line and are properly oriented with relation to each other, the pushing over of said one player's king playing piece will cause the playing pieces in the line to topple over successively, each striking the next playing piece, in a chain reaction of cascading playing pieces, at the end of which the opponent's king playing piece is toppled.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 1979Date of Patent: February 3, 1981Assignee: Ned Strongin Associates, Inc.Inventor: Rene Soriano

Patent number: 4160338Abstract: A toy doll has a mouth opening adapted to receive a simulated nursing bottle from which water is fed to the interior of the doll, some of such water producing a wetting action. The doll is also adapted to produce a burping sound when its back is patted, and simultaneously to spit up through the mouth opening some of the water previously fed from the bottle. The burping sound is produced by a bellows in the body portion of the doll which is successively compressed upon patting the back of the doll and which progressively feeds air into another bellows located in the head of the doll until the head bellows reaches an expanded position. An actuating member then automatically releases the air from the expanded head bellows, which air flows in a sudden controlled flow through a sound producing device. Some of this released air also causes liquid to be emitted from the mouth opening to produce the spitting-up effect.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1977Date of Patent: July 10, 1979Assignee: Ned Strongin Associates, Inc.Inventors: Paul Lyons, Fred Zant, Charles Resnick
