Abstract: A mechanism adaptable for a toy provides a hugging motion to a pair of arms extending outward from each side of a rear body member. A front body member is supported by a bottom hinge in V-shaped hinged relation in front of the rear body member. Each arm is comprised of an upper arm and a relatively long forearm supported in hinged relation on the outer end of the upper arm. For each arm, a wide, elongated, yielding forearm actuator is hingedly attached on its outer end to the forearm and on its inner end to the front body member. A hand is hingedly supported on the outward end of the forearm. Supported in front of the forearm is an elongated, yielding hand actuator adapted to move the hand when the forearm actuator is moved toward the forearm. Squeezing the body portions together causes the forearm actuators to pivot the forearms forward in a hugging motion.

The base seat has a hollow interior, and an inner periphery recess. The platform is inserted in the inner periphery recess of the base seat. The first toy figure has a trunk, a pair of lower limbs connected to the trunk, and a pair of upper limbs connected to the trunk. The first drive mechanism drives the lower limbs of the first toy figure to vibrate.

Abstract: A candy-toy device which includes a housing. The housing includes a pivot arm which functions to move a cross-armed jack up and down along lower and upper slide tracks when forced by a pushbutton. The pivot arm activates an electrical on-and-off switch which controls an electrical circuitry which produces a desired sound as the pivot arm moves the cross-armed jack up and down along the upper and lower slides. A candy pop is secured to an upper surface of the upper slide track so that the candy pop moves up and down as the jack is moved up and down. The sounds can be made in alternation as the pivot arm closes and opens the on-and-off switch.

Abstract: An alternative medicine elements package in which a soft sculpture doll having a body portion and at least two arm-like appendages attached to the body portion includes a magnet in each of the arm-like appendages and a copper strip that extends through the body portion and into each of the arm-like appendages.

Abstract: The four elements are each provided with protrusions constituted by forks the branches of which are resilient, which are each provided with a recess and with an embossment. These protrusions engage with each other, their embossments and their recesses hooking each other, and are thus articulated to each other around rotation axes. The series of protrusions and of the free spaces which separate them are determined in such a way that the four plates can be articulated to each other two by two, that has for consequence they can be articulated all the four to each other. With respect to a central axis, the half-series of each element are not symmetrical but they can be identical.

The bottom of the body portion is adapted for resting on a surface such that the head and body portions are generally vertical with respect to the surface. A container is provided in the interior of the body portion. The body portion has a slot into the container adapted for inserting coins into the container. The slot is located on the back of the body portion towards the top of the body portion. The body portion has a hole into the container adapted for removing coins disposed in the container. The hole is located on the back of the body portion towards the bottom of the body portion.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a building block toy, characterized in that a single kind of building block is used and in that the building block is of a unique shape. Specifically, the center of a flat equilateral triangular piece and the center of a flat hexagonal piece with the same thickness can be overlapped, and the three conjugated sides of the hexagonal piece can be connected to the three sides of the equilateral triangular piece upon stacking these two pieces in a parallel manner. The length of each side of the equilateral hexagonal piece is ⅓ of that of the side of the equilateral triangular piece. Thus, the parts where the equilateral triangular piece and the equilateral hexagonal piece overlap form three small equilateral triangular pieces (1, 2 and 3) of equal size.

Abstract: A whistle that is constructed of a body, preferably of an edible material such as candy, which includes a through air entry hole which is located transversely within the body with this air entry hole connecting to an air exhaust chamber which is located longitudinally within the body. The air exhaust chamber terminates at an air exhaust opening formed within the top surface of the body. The air exhaust chamber is triangularly shaped and tapered to be narrowest at its pointed tip. The body may be mounted on a supporting stick.

Abstract: An intellectual training toy has a large freedom of arrangement and enables connection between the driven ember and the rotary driving member even while the rotary driving member is rotating. The toy includes a base member which has a driving mechanism built-in and a field portion having a smooth surface. A rotary member is engaged with the driving mechanism and is rotatable around an axis perpendicular to the smooth surface of the field portion. A driving body having a rotary portion is attachable to the field portion of the base member so that the rotary portion is connected to the rotary member to rotate according to a rotation of the rotary member. A first driven body can be held at a desired position on the field portion of the base member by magnetic attraction force and can engage with the rotary portion of the driving body while being held on the field portion of the base member by a magnetic attraction force.

Abstract: A thin, planar flying toy has a plurality of radially extending, equiangularly spaced, relatively constant width arms extending from a central hub. Each arm has a given length that is substantially greater than the width of each of the arms. The central hub and the arms lie substantially within a common plane with the edges of the arms extending substantially perpendicularly between the first and second surfaces. The process for producing the flying toy includes cutting a planar sheet of plastic material to define the planar body that includes the central hub from which relatively constant width, equiangularly spaced arms radially extend. The material can be translucent with translucent or opaque indicia thereon to produce optically perceived patterns in flight.

Abstract: The present invention provides an amusement device with a flying member launchable by a hand-held launcher. The launcher includes launching guide rod connected to a handle grip carrying a trigger mechanism with a catch hook. A coil spring is coaxially received on the guide rod. The flying member includes a generally tubular internal support frame, an exterior shell supported by said frame and a latch body connected to the shell for releasably connecting the flying member to the launcher. In use, the frame of the member and the guide rod are aligned coaxially, and the flying member is pushed onto the rod, compressing the spring, until the catch hook of the launcher releasably captures the latch body. When the trigger mechanism is actuated, the flying member is forced off the rod by the spring, taking flight. The connection of the latch body to the shell prevents the launching of the frame without the shell. The invention encompasses a method of making one embodiment of the flying member.
