Abstract: A dual-wheel remotely controlled (RC) skateboard with two independently-controlled detachably attachable wheels is described. The RC skateboard comprises a body member having a right wheel and left wheel rotationally mounted proximate the body member. Each of the right and left wheels are drivably coupled with their own motors, such that each of the right and left wheels are independently controlled. Additionally, a quick release apparatus is included to provide for quick release of the wheels. Through use of the quick release apparatus, the wheels are interchangeable wheels and may be easily replaced with other interchangeable wheels. Furthermore, a skateboard deck is attached with the body member such that when the wheels are engaged, the skateboard deck is forced against a supporting surface, thereby preventing the body member from continuously spinning in place. Additionally, the detachably attachable wheels are formed to be used with devices other than a remotely controlled skateboard.

Abstract: Described is a toy vehicle with a launcher for connecting with and launching the toy vehicle. The toy vehicle includes a vehicle housing having a wheel opening in the housing for placement of a detachably attachable wheel and a vehicle strip opening for placement of a strip. A gear system is attached with the housing. The gear system includes gear teeth for engaging at least a part of the gear system with the strip. A rotating end is connected with the gear system for placement of a detachably attachable wheel. When the wheel is affixed with the rotating end, and when the strip is inserted into the vehicle strip opening and engaged with the gear teeth, a user may pull the strip and thereby cause the gear system to rotate the wheel so that the wheel spins and forces the vehicle to speed away from the launcher.

Abstract: A stunt ramp for a wheeled toy vehicle to travel upon and provide from approximately 5 degrees to 180 degrees lift from the surface by the ramp structure. The ramp is made of two end pieces connected to each other by cross braces. The end pieces have grooves adapted to have a ramp sheet slid within the grooves. The end pieces are curved so that when the flexible ramp sheet is adjustably slid into the grooves the ramp sheet will curve as well.

Abstract: A toy wheel display case is described. The display case includes a housing having side walls, a back wall, and a detachably attachable front wall. At least one of the walls is formed of a clear material, thereby allowing a user to see through the wall and into an interior of the display case. A protrusion is centrally positioned on the back wall and extends into the housing. The protrusion is configured to allow for placement of a toy wheel, whereby a user may position the toy wheel onto the protrusion and encase the toy wheel within the housing. When placed upon the protrusion, the entire weight of the toy wheel is supported by the protrusion with no point of the wheel's tire touching the housing.

Abstract: A toy comprises a housing connected with a launcher to rotate and launch an object. The launcher comprises a driving element to form a drive connection with a receiving element on the object. The launcher is connected with a launcher rotating system, which imparts a rotary movement to the launcher. When the launcher ceases to accelerate the object, the receiving element disengages from the drive connection and launches the object. An interactive device is attached with the housing to increase stimulation and enjoyment. The interactive device operates in conjunction with spinning and launching the object from the toy such that it provides an output in response to a user imparting a rotary motion to the object. Non-limiting examples of such interactive devices include an electronic game, gauges, and a sound-producing mechanism.

Abstract: An integrated carrying case and toy object launcher is described. The integrated carrying case comprises a carrying case portion and a launcher. The carrying case portion includes an openable container having a lid and a plurality of compartments. Each compartment is formed to hold at least one toy object. The launcher is connected with and extends from the carrying case portion. The launcher is formed to attach with a toy object and operably connect with a gear rack. The launcher is also formed to impart a rotary motion to the object, such that withdrawal of an operably connected gear rack causes the object to rotate and launch from the launcher.

Abstract: A station for inflating an inflatable toy tire is described. The station includes a base with an air pump attached with the base. An air nozzle attachment is attached with the base for attaching with an air nozzle on an inflatable toy tire. An air line is included that connects the air pump with the air nozzle attachment. An inflatable toy tire is described that is formed to be attached with the air nozzle. Using the station, a user may attach the inflatable toy tire with the air nozzle attachment and pump the air pump to inflate the inflatable toy tire. Additionally, the inflatable toy tire is formed to be used with devices other than the station, such as a launcher.

Abstract: A motorized toy wheel launcher for launching a toy wheel is described. The motorized toy wheel launcher comprises a housing with a motor encased within the housing. The motor includes a rotor, with an actuator communicatively connected with the motor. A gear system including a plurality of gears is connected with the rotor. A driving element is connected with the gear system and configured to engage a receiving element of a detachably attachable wheel to form a drive connection. When the driving element engages the receiving element of the detachably attachable wheel, the detachably attachable wheel is rotatably accelerated in one direction, and wherein once the driving element ceases to accelerate the receiving element, the receiving element disengages from the driving element and releases the detachably attachable wheel, thereby causing the detachably attachable wheel to spin away from the motorized toy launcher.

Abstract: A toy is presented for washing an object by rotating the object in a chamber of liquid. The toy comprises a chamber partially filled with liquid and includes a mount to rotationally fix an object into the chamber. The mount includes a driving element to drivingly connect with a receiving element on the object to form a driving connection. An object rotating system then imparts a rotary motion to the mount to rotate the object within the chamber of water so as to wash the object. The object rotating system is a gear and axle drivingly connected with a gear rack. The gear rack is pulled by a user to impart a rotary motion to the gear and axle, which then rotates the mount and thus the object. In another embodiment, the object rotating system is a gear and axle drivingly connected with a motor.
