  • Patent number: 10399001
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pop-up toy device for recreational purposes of a user. The pop-up toy device includes a flexible elastic hemispherical shell and a propeller unit. The flexible elastic hemispherical shell includes a convex outer surface having an inlet, and a concave inner surface. The propeller unit fits inside the inlet of the convex outer surface. The propeller unit includes a housing unit that fits inside the inlet, a coiled spring is configured in the housing unit and interfaces the coiled spring, a stem attaches to the housing unit and plurality of fan blades attached to the stem. The coiled spring rotates the stem and the plurality of fan blades. The user applies pressure to the convex outer surface to create a near flat surface. The flexible elastic hemispherical shell stores energy when deformed to the near flat surface. The flexible elastic hemispherical shell returns to its original convex outer surface from the near flat surface when dropped onto a fixed surface.

  • Publication number: 20160107047
    Abstract: Disclosed is the amusement ball for recreational purposes. The amusement ball includes a hollow spherical lattice shell of polyurethane having plurality of open spaces and an inflatable balloon inserted in the hollow spherical lattice shell through the open spaces and is further having a closeable opening. The inflatable balloon on inflation bulges out of the open spaces of the hollow spherical lattice shell. The inflatable balloon is inflated through the closeable opening. Further, the hollow spherical lattice shell maximizes the bounce potential of the inflatable balloon.

  • Patent number: 9314674
    Abstract: A sport object actuated by a user comprises: a ball, one or more grooves configured on the exterior of the ball, at least one elastomeric base rests within at least one of the groove at a first base position and one or more appendages molded at the edge of the elastomeric base to form a first appendage position. The shape of the ball is spherical. The shape of the sport object as well as the shape of the appendage can be sized and shaped in a variety of sizes to accomplish the same result of providing a changed color or decoration on the surface of the ball manually.

  • Patent number: 9199183
    Abstract: A device for launching an object away from a user comprising a popper placed on the floor for providing force for the object, a ramp positioned on said popper wherein the user applies pressure on a substantially planar peripheral portion of said popper by pressing plurality of legs through placement of foot on an elongated body of the ramp resulting in change of convex position of said substantially planar peripheral portion returns to a concave position of said substantially planar peripheral portion through the application of vertical force on said object base which further results in launching the object away from a user from said object base.

  • Publication number: 20150265936
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multipurpose recreational toy for converting a balloon into an item used in sports. The multipurpose recreational toy includes an outer ring mounted on exterior side of the balloon and plurality of support bars attached to the outer ring for forming a weighted framework to match the weight of the item used in sports. The multipurpose recreational toy further includes an adhesive unit for attaching the outer ring and the plurality of support bars on exterior side of the balloon. The support bars includes one or more horizontal bars attached to the outer ring and one or more vertical bars attached to the horizontal bars, one or more of angular bars connected to the one or more horizontal bars and the one or more vertical bars for forming a weighted framework to match the weight of the item used in sports.

  • Patent number: 8915809
    Abstract: The amusement ball for a user having an inner surface membrane filled with air, a thin puncturable unit covering the inner surface membrane and an outer membrane unit covering the thin puncturable unit. The thin puncturable unit includes one or more first chambers and a thin puncturable membrane attached to the one or more first chambers. The outer membrane unit includes one or more second chambers and a non-permeable outer membrane attached to the one or more second chambers. A user applies a pressure on a specific location of the inner surface membrane through the outer membrane unit resulting in the bursting of the thin puncturable membrane and release of the liquid from one or more first chambers to one or more second chambers. The liquid then appears on the inner surface of outer permeable membrane.
