Abstract: A combined seat with compression device for interactively actuating a sound effects unit incorporated into a ride on toy vehicle as a user bounces up and down on the combined seat with compression device. The toy includes a frame for a ride-on toy vehicle, a sound effects unit having a housing secured to the frame, a seat secured to the frame and movable between first and second positions, an actuating mechanism attached at the seat for engagement with the sound effects unit, and a deformable compression device positioned at the seat capable of depressing as the seat is moved from the first the position to the second position to interactively activate the sound effects unit.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an illuminated display for use by an infant that may include a cylinder fabricated from a translucent material that may have at least one image disposed on a surface of the cylinder, a motor operatively coupled to the cylinder that may be adapted to rotate the cylinder when the motor is activated, and an illumination source disposed within the cylinder that may be adapted to project light outwardly through the surface of the cylinder. The illuminated display may further include a dome in which the cylinder and the illumination source may be disposed and that may be adapted so that the light projecting from the illumination source through the surface of the cylinder may project at least one projected image on the dome corresponding to the at least one image disposed on the surface of the cylinder, with the at least one projected image being visible from the exterior of the dome.

Abstract: A toy having movable elements actuated upon introduction of compressed air is disclosed. The toy may include a source of compressed air which is adapted to direct air through a valved port for communication to individual and removable play pieces. Each of the play pieces may include movable elements which are caused to move upon contact with the compressed air. Each of the play pieces may be stackable to allow for simultaneous actuation of multiple play pieces through a single valve.

Abstract: A toy frying pan is disclosed for simulating a real frying pan in the process of frying bacon or the like.
