Abstract: A method and apparatus for propelling and retrieving an aerodynamic flying disk. The apparatus includes a lower support member used to support the flying disk. The lower support member is hingedly coupled to an upper support member, and the two support members form a cavity to retain the disk. A handle is also provided on the lower support member, opposite an open end of the cavity, to allow a user to grasp the apparatus. A disk is inserted within the apparatus, propelled by a player out through an aperture at the opposite end of the cavity from a handle, and retrieved by opening and closing upper and lower support members to retain the disk.

Abstract: A playset includes a series of pieces sequentially stackable on a hollow base and interconnected by a flexible tether. One end of the tether is secured to an end piece and the other, free end passes through the base and is connected to a tab. When a child pulls the tab the pieces are stacked on the base to form a tower. A plunger mounted on the outside of the base is depressable to move a lever mounted in the base upwardly to topple the stacked pieces.

Abstract: A player response game is provided including game apparatus that directs light beams of relatively short duration from a control housing to opposing player stations and detects light reflected back from the respective player stations. The game apparatus also includes a hand held, light reflecting paddle for the player at each station, these paddles having a light diffusing surface so that light is reflected back to the control housing when the paddle intercepts a light beam irrespective of the exact angle at which the paddle intercepts the beam. The sequencing and control of the game apparatus by electronic control circuitry including a microprocessor simulates a table tennis game wherein a light beam is directed to either the forehand or the backhand side of the opposite station if a player at one station successively intercepts a beam with his paddle during the time the beam is directed to his or her station.

Abstract: An elongated unitary inflatable vessel of thin, flexible sheet material includes a pair of relatively large volume, generally circular-shaped, hollow seats at opposite ends interconnected by an integrally formed central conduit of relatively smaller transverse cross-section. Each seat includes an upper seating surface for supporting a person in an elevated position above the floor and the person on one seat may force the seating surface downwardly toward the floor thereby moving air from the seat into the conduit to raise the elevation of the opposite seat and provide a seesaw action.
