Abstract: A molding method and a mold therefor capable of forming a doll head of a shape exactly conforming to a mold by blow molding using a safe molding material. A split mold (2, 3) which has an inner surface formed to have a configuration conforming to a shape of a doll head (17) is so arranged that a parting line (18) formed by mold members (2, 3) of the split mold may be formed on a hairline of the hair of the doll head (17) or in proximity thereto. A molding material is constituted by a thermoplastic synthetic resin elastomer as a main ingredient thereof and has a plasticizer and a coloring agent added thereto. The molding material is heated and then dropped in as a parison (15) between the mold members (2, 3) of the split mold spaced from each other. Then, the mold members (2, 3) of the split mold are joined together and air is blown into the split mold. Air is removed through at least one projection such as a nose (5) or the like from a cavity during blowing of air into the split mold (2, 3).

Abstract: A method for forming a safe molding material into an elastic doll head of a uniform thickness without deteriorating an appearance of the doll head. Split mold members (2, 3) each have an inner surface (2a, 3a) formed to have a configuration which provides a shape of a doll head (A) when the split mold members cooperate with each other. The split mold members (2, 3) form the doll head with a parting line (18) in a manner to extend from an upper portion (27) of a forehead of the doll head through a rear side (28) of each of ears thereof to a rear portion (29) of a neck thereof, to thereby substantially equally divide the doll head into two halves. A molding material mainly consisting of a thermoplastic synthetic resin elastomer is heated and dropped in the form of a parison (13) into a space defined between the split mold members (2, 3) kept spaced from each other. Then, the split mold members (2, 3) are joined to each other and air is blown into the thus-joined split mold members.

Also, the luminous wristwatch includes a watch body which is provided with an operation button and a control section for controlling on-off operation of the light emitters upon operation of the operation button.

Abstract: A jellyfish type underwater swimming toy capable of exhibiting reality sufficient to permit an observer to be impressed as if a jellyfish swims in a fluttering manner under water. A toy body is formed into a jellyfish-like shape and includes a head. The head includes a head body, a plurality of swing arms radially arranged on a periphery of the head body in a manner to be vertically swingable, and an umbrella-like member formed into a configuration like a thin film and arranged on the head body and swing arms. Thus, when the swing arms are swingably moved through a drive mechanism, the umbrella-like member is vertically actuated through the swing arms, resulting in the toy swimming in the water while vertically traveling in a fluttering manner.

Abstract: An infant toy for drawing a colored picture, capable of carrying out a colorful multi-color display, to thereby be suitable as an intellectual training toy. The toy includes a pair of substrates (12a, 12b) and a multi-cell structure arranged between the substrates and including a number of cells (16), which are previously classified into a desired number of regions 4 (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, . . . ). The toy also includes dispersions (20) encapsulated in the cells of the regions in such a manner that the regions adjacent to each other may exhibit colors different from each other, respectively. The dispersions each include magnetic particles (18) having a respective one of the different colors put thereon, a dispersion medium and a coloring agent constituting a background.

Abstract: A sound generating toy capable of generating sound without any power supply and while being simplified in structure, as well as exhibiting more reality. The toy includes a toy body including a head, in which a mouth (4), a door member (5) pivotally moved when the mouth is charged with a toy food (3), a spiral spring wind-up mechanism (6) actuated in association with the door member, a spiral spring unit (7) and a sound output unit (A) are arranged. When an eccentric rotating member (15) mounted on an output shaft (14) of the spiral spring unit is rotated to engage with a sound generating means (8), the sound generating means cyclically generates sound.

Abstract: An artificial flower capable of exhibiting, with a lapse of time, a variation in color development sufficient to provide a user with visual pleasure as in a natural flower. The artificial flower includes a stem formed into an appearance like a stalk and and the like and constructed so as to suck up water by a capillary action, a receiver formed into an appearance like a receptacle and the like and constructed so as to permit an upper end of the stem to be upwardly inserted therethrough, a corolla section made of a material which exhibits a capillary action when it is wetted, a water-soluble pigment arranged at a central portion of the corolla section, and a holder adapted to be forcedly inserted into the receiver at the central portion of the corolla section, resulting in fixing the central portion of the corolla section in the receiver while keeping the central portion in contact with the upper end of the stem.

Abstract: A spring driven shaver capable of being significantly simplified in structure to a degree sufficient to carry out down-sizing of the shaver and be portable. The shaver includes a shaver body, in which a spiral spring, a spring wind-up wheel, a gear wheel coaxial with the spring wind-up wheel and a plurality of speed-up gears engaged with each other in order are arranged. One of the speed-up gears is engaged with the gear wheel and a gear shaft on which another one of the speed-up gears is mounted is arranged so as to upward extend from the shaver body and provided at an upper end thereof with a rotary member having blades mounted thereon. The spring wind-up wheel is so arranged that a part thereof is constantly projected from a side of the shaver body.

Abstract: An interactive novelty figure includes a housing having an external configuration that can simulate, for example, an animal. A plurality of switch assemblies is located about the housing and are obscured within its exterior configuration to respond to certain predetermined stimuli, such as pressure and sound. A sound-generating circuit and a motor for moving an appendage member, attached to the housing, is provided within the housing. Different sounds, characteristic of the animal, can be provided in response to both pressure and audio commands. The appendage member can further comprise a pair of parallel elongated members that can flex to provide a life-like wagging motion.

Abstract: A toy bird capable of carrying out movement like a real bird. A body section is arranged so as to be longitudinally moved with respect to a leg section and a head section is arranged so as to be laterally moved with respect to the body section. In the body section is provided a driving unit for carrying out openable operation of a bill as well as the above-described movement of each of the body and head sections. Also, the toy body is constructed so as to generate sound like a song of a real bird. The toy bird can be actuated by an external stimulus sensor that can respond to sound, light, and the like.

Abstract: A small decoration capable of exhibiting play characteristics sufficient to provide a key ring with unexpectedness. The small decoration includes a container provided with a key ring mounting section.
