  • Patent number: 9724616
    Abstract: A self-inflatable toy having first and second housing portions and an inflatable toy body positioned there-between. The inflatable toy body having chemicals that react to produce an inflating gas. The first and second housing having beads that interact to temporarily prevent the separation of the two housings. As the toy body inflates, a pressure increases between the two housings until the increasing pressure is greater than the friction between the first and second beads causing the first housing to separate from the second housing.

  • Patent number: 8540548
    Abstract: A child's activity toy comprises a plurality of dispensers which will dispense circular discs onto a flat magnetic surface. The circular discs are of different colors, each color having its own respective diameter, with the color being applied to each side of the discs. Each dispenser is specific to its own color, and is biased to its closed, non-dispensing condition. Pressing the dispensing end of a dispenser against the flat magnetic surface will dispense a circular disc; and moving the dispenser while it is pressed against the flat magnetic surface will dispense a series of circular discs. A frame is provided for the flat magnetic surface, and includes a graduated sorter so as to separate the discs of one color from the discs of any other color. The respective dispenser for each color can be filled with the discs from the respective sorter chamber.
