Abstract: A toy vehicle such as a child's toy truck or tricycle which includes a toy citizens band radio is disclosed. A microphone of the CB vehicle toy is detachable from the vehicle body except for an electrical wire connecting the microphone to the electronics in the vehicle toy. The microphone is designed to be hand-held by a child playing with the toy. When the toy CB radio is turned on and the transmit button on the microphone is on, then sounds received by the microphone are transmitted through a speaker associated with the vehicle toy. In the receive mode, the toy CB radio generates static similar to that heard over a real CB radio when receiving.

Abstract: A bubble blowing wand for use with a bubble blowing liquid comprising two substantially concentric rings for providing a bubble or bubbles formed within a bubble. The concentric rings are substantially in the same planar relationship with respect to each other. The rings can be substituted with any closed geometric form so long as the peripheries are implaced within each other in a substantially spaced concentric relationship. The preferred concentric rings are formed as a larger outside ring and a smaller inner ring. The larger outside ring is attached to a handle at its outer edge, while the inner surface thereof supports a stem to which the inner ring is connected. Both of the rings have relieved or cut surfaces providing a larger surface area on the rings to accommodate greater amounts of bubble blowing liquid.

A body member can be subjectively configured to simulate the body of a humanoid, animal, vehicle, etc. The body member contains at least one magnet and armature plates for removably retaining one or more articulated appendages. Preferably, the side surfaces of the body member are flat and parallel. An articulated appendage has a U-shaped configuration which includes a base member and pair of upright members extending on either side of the housing member. The upright members can be configured and positioned on the body member to represent legs or arms. A spherical joint is mounted on the base member for interconnection with arcuate joints on the armature plates.

Abstract: As a component for toy building sets there is provided a rotatable element comprising:(a) a base plate (FIGS. 1, 2, 6 and 7) and(b) a disc (FIGS. 3, 4 and 5) pivotally mounted in a circular aperture in the base plate.A socket for a pivot on the disc is located at the bottom of the base plate and is supported thereon by ribs integral with the socket and with four side walls at the bottom of the base plate.Four identical apertures in the bottom of the base plate are formed by the socket, the ribs and the side walls.Four engagement studs are provided on the top face of the disc and extend beyond the periphery thereof. The underface of these studs provides for slideable contact with the top face of the base plate during the rotation of the disc.

Abstract: A gun-like toy device for producing controllable audio and visual effects simulating a fictitious futuristic space-age weapon. The device has a general hand gun shape with a handle attached to a central body section that has an audio speaker on its upper side and a barrel-like front end portion with attached lamps. Packaged within the body and handle are electronic components comprising battery power means, timer means for causing the lamps to flash at a controllable rate, audio generation means connected to said speaker and said power means, control means for preselecting the level and frequency and thus the characteristic mode of the sound produced by said audio generation means and a mode switch means for selecting either a continuous high pitch warbling sound or a single "shot" or blast sound that rapidly decays when a trigger means on said handle is pulled to "fire" the gun and simultaneously activate said lamp means and said audio generation means in the preselected mode.

Abstract: A guide rod, for rolling a toy hoop, formed of a squared U-shaped guide portion with a short shaft portion arranged approximately perpendicular to the plane of said guide portion and integral with the free end of one of the legs of the guide portion. An elongated pole-like handle is releasably connected to the end of the shaft. The guide portion is made in interchangeable left and right hand configurations, by arranging the U-shape on its side, to open sideways, with the shaft formed on the free end of the upper leg, and with the shaft extending approximately perpendicularly away from the plane of the U-shape in either one or the opposite direction to form either a left or right handed guide, either of which may interchangeably be used with the same handle.

Abstract: A toy fire engine is disclosed including a body, wheel and axle assembly, aerial ladder, ladder support and loose ladder. The ladder support may include a turret for pivotal support of the ladder about a vertical axis. The fire engine body may include a ladder carrier which limits sideward movement and linear movement of a loose ladder when disposed in the carrier.

Abstract: This invention is a disc-type, aerodynamic toy. This toy consists of a fabric center which can be altered by the owner to varying thicknesses and degrees of coverage for aerodynamic purposes. The fabric center is bounded by a rim into which the center is pressed. A smooth convex surface surrounds the center and rim. The smooth convex surface is bordered by a lip which is turned inwardly toward the center of the toy. The smooth surface combined with the heavy center of varying thickness, and degree of coverage, makes the toy extremely stable, a toy which the owner can alter to suit his or her aerodynamic requirements.

The inside compartment may have seats, wall panels and a floor. The compartment may serve to enclose various raw edges of the chassis. The top may include support posts which rest on the chassis.

Abstract: A folded glider is comprised of a sheet of material having a center hinge line which is located along its medial axis and paired side hinge lines which are located generally parallel to the center hinge line at spaced intervals outwardly therefrom. A slit is located in the sheet of material, extending transversely between the side hinge lines proximate the trailing edge of the glider. The glider is formed by folding the sheet of material upwardly along the portion of the center hinge line lying forwardly of the slit to form a fuselage, folding it downwardly along the portions of the side hinge lines lying forwardly of the slit to form wings, and folding it upwardly along the portions of the side hinge lines lying rearwardly of the slit and downwardly along the portion of the center hinge line lying rearwardly of the slit to form an inverted "V"-shaped vertical tail.
