Abstract: The present invention relates to a toy or toy playset that includes a housing with a movable door and a movable platform. In one embodiment, the door is placed proximate to an opening in the housing and can be moved between a lowered position and a raised position. In one embodiment, the platform is movably mounted to the housing and is movable about an axis. The door and the platform are configured to be moved at the same time. In one implementation, the platform can be moved as the door moves from its lowered position to its raised position.

Abstract: A toy building construction set includes a plurality of building units, each building unit including an integral panel, an elongate column, and a connection member. The panel has a first and a second connection structure. One of four sides of the elongate column is a generally U-shaped channel. The column channel receives and is engaged with the second connection structure. The other three sides of the elongate column each have female connection structures so as to provide a female connection side to the building unit. The connection member is engaged with the first connection structure. At least part of the connection member projects outwardly from the panel so as to provide a male connection side to the building unit The male connection side is configured to removably engage with the female connection side of a second building unit of the plurality of building units.

Abstract: An electronic toy that can be activated so as to entertain and educate a child is disclosed. The electronic toy includes a toy figure and/or an interactive member. In one embodiment, the toy figure includes a body and at least one actuator mechanism. The electronic toy can generate an audio output in response to activation by a user of an actuator mechanism. In one embodiment, the toy figure includes multiple parts that can be moved relative to each other. In one embodiment, the electronic toy includes two actuator mechanisms that can be activated by a user at any time. The electronic toy can generate audio outputs, including speech and sound effects, in response to the activation by a user of the actuator mechanisms. In one embodiment, the electronic toy can generate speech in response to the activation of a first actuator mechanism and sound effects in response to the activation of a second actuator mechanism.

Abstract: A device having a plurality of heat dissipation fins providing improved cooling to an alternator rectifier. The device may be removably attached to the alternator rear housing proximate the location of the rectifier. The device may also be incorporated as an integral part of the alternator rear housing. The device provides improved cooling to the alternator by increasing the surface area of the alternator rear housing at the area of the housing heated by the rectifier.

Abstract: A convertible toy truck/wagon includes a chassis and wheel assembly, a truck bed and a handle member pivotally mounted on the chassis and wheel assembly. The chassis and wheel assembly includes a main chassis member, a truck cab on the chassis member and a plurality of wheels for movably supporting the chassis and wheel assembly on a supporting surface. The truck bed is pivotable on the chassis member between a first substantially horizontal position and a second upwardly pivoted position, and the handle member is pivotable between an inoperative first position in which it extends rearwardly from the cab along the chassis member and an operative second position in which it extends forwardly and upwardly from the truck cab.
