  • Patent number: 5496040
    Abstract: A foldable soccer and hockey goal and equipment set is disclosed wherein the goal and the equipment can be conveniently transported and stored in one lightweight and self-contained unit. The goal comprises an inclined net holder having a net attached thereto and being supported by first and second approximately right-triangular upright support members which are hingedly attached to the inclined net holder. The support members are made to be hollow and are provided with filler holes to allow filling with a ballasting material, such as sand or water, to provide stability to the goal when in use.

  • Patent number: 5421763
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for use in connection with a child's toy which selectively generates a noise. The apparatus includes a chamber within a child's toy for holding a volume of air. Adjacent the chamber is a noise-making member, such as a reed, constructed to vibrate when subjected to a moving air stream. The moving air stream is created when the child sits on the toy and rocks back and forth (i.e., rides the toy). When the child rides the toy, air passes from the chamber and over the noise-making member. Surrounding the noise-making member is a tubular member for directing the air from the chamber around and past the noise-making member. The tubular member has an intake port in fluid communication with the chamber adapted to received air from the chamber and an exhaust port adapted to expel air after it has passed over the noise-making member.
