Abstract: A compressible and extendable toy is disclosed. The toy has a plurality of alternating ribs and folds. When the toy is in the compressed state the folds are folded into the toy. When the toy is in the extended state, the folds are extended into an unfolded position. The toy has a handle on a first end. The toy may have a handle on the second end. Alternatively, the toy has a suction cup on the second end. The internal cavity of the toy may be completely enclosed or have openings at the ends of the toy or apertures in the folds or ribs.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a suction cup construction toy set that is capable of securing to predetermined points of other interlocking pieces as well as to other surfaces and locations of any interlocking piece. The interlocking pieces of the construction toy set also have the capability of removably attaching to other items or places that are not part of the construction toy set. The suction cup construction set is comprised of a plurality of interlocking pieces comprising at least a first planar member and a second planar member, any number of connection members, and any number of suction cups positioned on the connection members. The suction cup construction toy set allows for free-thinking designs and creativity for any user as the interlocking pieces may be constructed in any number of unique configurations and secured to any number of horizontal or vertical surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a puzzle game designed with a three-dimensional puzzle system and includes an element of competition or game play designed to engage individual or multiple users. The puzzle game comprises a plurality of cuboidal puzzle sticks with images on one or more than one side that, when properly configured, displays one or more than one completed puzzle image. The puzzle game utilizes a portable puzzle tray that holds the puzzle sticks securely whether in use or not. The puzzle game allows individuals of any dexterity, age, or ability to configure the puzzle sticks and provides entertainment for single or multiple users in any setting.

Abstract: A toy comprises a resiliently deformable member, a first contactor defining a first contacting surface, and a second contactor defining a second contacting surface. At least one of the first and second contactors defines a concave surface. The resiliently deformable member supports the first and second contactors for movement along a main axis between an engaged configuration in which the first contacting surface is contact with the second contacting surface and a disengaged configuration in which the first contacting surface is disengaged from the second contacting surface. The resiliently deformable member biases the first and second contactors in opposite directions along the main axis. Application of force to displace the first and second contactors along the main axis creates a sound when the first and second contactors are disengaged from each other.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a modular grilling frame comprising in one example a thermally conductive frame having a longitudinal dimension, a transverse dimension, and a lowermost portion forming a perimeter foot. The modular grilling frame may also provide a transverse divider extending between opposing sides of the perimeter foot. The transverse divider in one example having: a first longitudinal side and a longitudinally opposing second longitudinal side. Also provided in one example is a thermally conductive grilling surface extending between the first longitudinal side of the transverse divider and the portion of the perimeter foot facing the first longitudinal side of the transverse divider. Generally, at least one area bounded by the perimeter foot vertically unobstructed bounded by a surface defining an insert shelf for fitting of a grilling surface such as a griddle panel, grilling panel, perforated plate or mesh panel.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a combination griddle and modular grilling frame comprising in one example a thermally conductive frame having a longitudinal dimension, a transverse dimension, and a lowermost portion forming a perimeter foot. The grilling frame may also provide a transverse divider extending between opposing sides of the perimeter foot. The transverse divider in one example having: a first longitudinal side and a longitudinally opposing second longitudinal side. Also provided is a thermally conductive grilling surface extending between the first longitudinal side of the transverse divider and the portion of the perimeter foot facing the first longitudinal side of the transverse divider. Generally, the area bounded by the second longitudinal perimeter foot and the portion of the perimeter foot facing the second longitudinal side is substantially unobstructed and comprises a surface defining an insert shelf for fitting of a grilling surface such as a perforated plate or mesh panel.
