Abstract: A one-piece, model glider craft capable of sustained flight in a glider mode in both atmospheric and underwater conditions. The glider craft comprises a delta wing structure including right and left wing sections which diverge rearward on opposite sides of a central axis from a single, forward most wing edge. A continuous leading edge extends across the front of the glider craft along the forward edge of the right wing, across the forward most wing edge and across the left leading wing edge. An elongated central body projects upward from a top surface of the delta wing structure along the central axis and is configured to provide a balanced distribution of weight. A tail fin or other vertical stabilizing structures attached at the rear part of the glider craft.

Abstract: An apparatus for massaging a person's back of a type including a housing adapted to be positioned beside and above a bed. A back contacting portion is provided for rubbing the back of a person lying on the bed and a reciprocation mechanism is operatively attached to the housing for automatically moving the back contacting structure back and forth over a person's back. The reciprocating structure includes a frame with an endless flexible member thereon, such as a chain. the endless flexible member is joined at both ends thereof to allow it to move in an elliptical path. A cog is attached to the endless flexible member so that when the endless flexible member is driven, the cog will also travel in such elliptical path. A reciprocating member is disposed around the frame and has a first cog engagement portion in one side thereof for engagement with the cog when the cog is moving in one linear direction whereby the reciprocating member will be moved in such one linear direction when the cog is so moving.

Abstract: A body massage apparatus includes a cylindrical housing mounting a rigid boss therein, with a rigid conduit extending tangentially aligned with the housing, wherein an eccentrically balanced turbine wheel is mounted within the housing to effect vibration of the housing in use. A top and bottom perforated plate are mounted and secured to the housing orthogonally to the axis defined by the housing. The invention may further include a resilient pad secured to an exterior surface of the housing to enhance use of the organization as a massage apparatus, and further including a pad utilizing massaging tips projecting exteriorly of the pad.

Abstract: Stuffed animal apparatus includes one or more storage compartments in which visual and/or audio materials may be stored and/or displayed. The storage compartments are disposed in the stuffed animal body or in an appendage. An external storage compartment is shown secured to an appendage. The storage compartments may need flap coverings or they may be a pouch and they may be large or small, as desired.

Abstract: A toy building block which interconnects with other like blocks or other commercially available toy building blocks. The blocks herein described provide for equidistant spacing among adjacent post members which upon interconnection allow blocks to form branched connections at almost any desired angle.

Abstract: A convertible toy in which a device of one appearance can be change to a substantially different appearance. For example, from an apparently innocuous-looking device, such as a computer or a trash can, a figurine can be rotated up through a space left by a receding part in the top so that the figurine may appear to visually observe the surroundings.

Abstract: A toy apparatus includes a simulated bird like figure, including a main body portion and legs mounted to underlying platform, with a head member and a tail member pivotally mounted at respective forward and rear terminal ends of the body member. Pendulum lines are mounted to the head member and to the tail member to effect oscillation of the figure upon oscillation of an associated pendulum weight mounted to lower ends of the pendulum lines.

Abstract: A portable medical unit that is used during the medical procedures of extracting blood from and giving needles to children. The unit provides a concealed work area with storage pockets; a vinyl cushion arm rest; and straps to retain the child's arm during the above noted procedures. The unit features distraction elements such as a painted clown's face and an opening through the mouth where the child inserts his/her arm. When not in use, the work area remains concealed with a flap that opens only when the child's arm is inserted into the mouth. Also featured is the clown's hair which is made of synthetic material, is brightly colored, and offers a tactile distraction. The nose of the clown connects to a pumping system which, when the child squeezes inflates a balloon that is connected to the pumping system by a tube. The balloon can be removed and given to the child as a reward for good behavior. When open the two forms are secured in place by locking hinges.

Abstract: A directional control for small action toys. The toy includes a spherical ball lead element which directs the movement and direction of the toy in a downhill gravity path and a pair of trailing ground wheels which bear the weight of the body and chassis of the toy. The ground wheels are positioned at the balance point of the toy to keep the weight of the toy off of the spherical ball to enhance turning performance. A removable retainer secures the spherical ball in position and allows easy removal of the ball for cleaning.

Abstract: A figure is provided for educational and entertaining purposes in providing a skunk-like figure, with a tail member extending rearwardly of the skunk, with the tail member including a cavity therewithin. The cavity includes a matrix of slits therethrough for directing an aromatic scent selectively from the tail by microcapsules to contain a scented liquid.

Abstract: This invention provides an artificial doll eye with a realistic pupil opening allowing light to travel into the eye thrugh the lens some distance into a solid, transparent light shaft in the center of the lens and pupil giving the impression of a real human eye. An iris is simulated by a combination of a thin wafer having a colored surface, and an optical magnifying effect created by the texturing of the plastic in front of the colored wafer.

Abstract: A restraint for the hands of a handcuffed person includes a fabric pouch having a drawstring, and grommets along an edge thereof. The drawstring has a ring at one portion, and a spring clip at an opposing portion. The pouch is placed over both hands of a handcuffed person, the drawstring pulled tight by means of the spring clip which is passed through the ring and attached to a grommet. A plastic liner may be installed in the pouch prior to use to protect and collect evidence from a suspect's hands.

Abstract: A saddle connector for attaching an amusement balloon to the upper end of a carrying rod (stick). The saddle connector includes a slotted post and four arms radiating outwardly and upwardly from the upper end of the post. A tail area of the balloon can be extended downwardly through spaces between the arms and then around the post to attach the balloon to the connector.

Abstract: A mobile toy includes a plurality of body shells, each being shaped to resemble a different vehicle type, a chassis to which any one of the plurality of body shells is selectively and detachably coupled; and siren sound generating means, mounted on the chassis, for producing a plurality of siren sounds, each being selectable to correspond to a selected and coupled one of the plurality of body shells.
