Abstract: A dual-diameter arrow shaft is disclosed. An arrow shaft is disclosed with a proximal diameter and a distal diameter, wherein the proximal diameter is smaller than the distal diameter, wherein the distal diameter is approximately equal to the diameter of a standard shaft hunting arrow, while the proximal diameter is approximately equal to that of a micro-diameter shaft hunting arrow. The arrow may have more weight front of center, and the distal diameter of the arrow may be suited for installing standard-sized inserts and additions to the arrow, while the proximal diameter is smaller than the distal diameter for better flight. The distal diameter is large enough for a sleeve with extra weight to fit snugly over the arrow shaft.
Abstract: A arrow system embodying a glue-in configuration or screw-over configuration of broadhead to arrow shaft connection is provided. The glue-in configuration provides an externally threadless broadhead shank for slidably reception into the complementary and cross-sectionally coextensive lumen of the arrow shaft. The screw-over configuration provides a broadhead with female internal threading that operatively associates with male threading of an insert that interconnects the broadhead to the lumen of the arrow shaft.
Abstract: The children's push snowblower toy provides children with a transformable toy feature that safely mimics a real-life snow blower in order to enhance a child's playing experience in the snow. The children's push snowblower toy introduces a two-in-one toy that serves as a lawn mower and possesses an attachment that connects onto a toy lawnmower to transform it into a toy snow blower. This toy can be assembled by the parents with ease and creates a thrilling outdoor activity for children while playing in the snow. It mimics the movement and sounds of an actual blower and has moving parts, such as the snow-chute that swivels 180 degrees by a crank, and a chute, adjustable by hand.
Abstract: A stuffed toy comprises a body member including an outer layer comprising a waterproof fabric. The outer layer is partially filled with a resilient stuffing material sealingly disposed within the outer layer to provide a predetermined shape to the body member. A shell comprises a flexible fabric having an outer surface and an inner surface. The shell having an opening for receiving the body member through the opening such that the body member is substantially enclosed within and fills the shell, and the shell closely conforming to the body member. The body member is selectively insertable into, and removable from, the shell through the opening in order to provide a predetermined three-dimensional shape to the toy.

Abstract: A toy comprises a resiliently deformable member, a first contactor defining a first contacting surface, and a second contactor defining a second contacting surface. At least one of the first and second contactors defines a concave surface. The resiliently deformable member supports the first and second contactors for movement along a main axis between an engaged configuration in which the first contacting surface is contact with the second contacting surface and a disengaged configuration in which the first contacting surface is disengaged from the second contacting surface. The resiliently deformable member biases the first and second contactors in opposite directions along the main axis. Application of force to displace the first and second contactors along the main axis creates a sound when the first and second contactors are disengaged from each other.
