  • Patent number: 7942753
    Abstract: A sound producing play apparatus includes a support structure, an air compression system, a movable member, and a sound generating mechanism. In operation the air compression system harnesses energy from a user's movement of the movable member to create a forced supply of wind. The wind is then passed through a series of tubes and air reservoirs to a sound producing mechanism to create the desired sound. The air compression system includes an air compressor that is positioned inside a portion of the support structure to protect the air compressor from damage.

  • Patent number: 7699796
    Abstract: The present invention is a hand-held ergonomic reflexology device. The device includes a semi-cylindrical shape handle dimensioned to fit within the palm of the user's hand. The handle is defined by a first end, an opposite second end, inner edge and a outer edge. A thumb support member is integrally connected to the handle and protruding outwardly to the sensor tip portion. The sensor tip portion is adapted to apply direct pressure to predetermined reflex points on the body. The thumb support member has substantially an elliptical shape and is defined by an upper surface area, an inner curved peripheral edge, and a outer curved peripheral edge. The upper surface area has a circumference dimensioned to fit a thumb of the user's hand. The inner curved peripheral edge extends from the sensor tip portion to the inner edge of the handle and is integrated therein.
