Publication number: 20240058713Abstract: An interactive toy system is shown and described. The toy system includes a double walled flask adapted to be connected to a base forming an internal space capable of holding an object or a figurine. When an empty space between the double walls is filled with an opaque fluid, it gives the player the impression that the whole flask is filled with such fluid. The toy system includes a smoke generating system, light emitting LEDs and a speaker. During the controlled play process, ingredients are added to an isolated fluid chamber on top of the flask. The operation and the special effects from the smoke, the sound, the light, and the phenomenon in the fluid chamber gives the impression that the creature is being created inside the opaque flask. When the process is concluded and the fluid in the flask is drained, the figurine inside the flask is revealed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Alex Martin, James Austin-Smith, Brandon Cole Sopinsky, Miguel Rusch, Heng Shen Yeap

Patent number: 11355993Abstract: A vehicle seat actuator includes an electric motor and a gear set that connects the drive motor to the seat and transmits the output of the motor to the vehicle seat. The drive motor and gear set are each disposed in an individual, dedicated housing component. The individual housing components are then assembled together to provide the actuator. The housing components are maintained in the assembled configuration using snap fit mechanical fasteners. Each snap-fit fastener includes a receiving portion provided on one housing component and an insertion portion provided on the other housing component. The receiving portion may be a slot formed in the gear housing that is partially obstructed by an elastic member, while insertion portion is an ear that protrudes from an outer surface of the drive motor housing and forms both a snap-fit engagement with the elastic member and a press-fit engagement with the slot.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignees: Robert Bosch Mexico Sistemas Automotrices S.
