Abstract: A toy rocket launcher includes a rotatable, air pressurized assembly that allows for a plurality of rockets to be launched in sequence. In particular, the assembly uses a ratchet included in a base supporting member, where the ratchet is rotated by a piston included in a launch tube connected between the base supporting member and a source of pressurized air (i.e., a manually-operated bellows). The rockets are disposed on separate launch tubes, the launch tubes open at their terminations and disposed such that each tube will receive, in sequence, the pressurized air supplied by the bellows. A guard ring structure may be included with the launcher to prevent a launch should an individual get too close and disturb the set up.

Abstract: A process for designing durable and esthetically pleasing luggage. The luggage features a top and bottom created from a thermoplastic elastomer. The thermoplastic elastomer provides a durable surface while allowing luggage design in different shapes. A radio frequency process is used to couple different sections of the luggage. This process removes the need for unsightly stitches while simplifying construction. In addition, the lower and upper sections of the luggage are coupled by a zipper mechanism that is not visible from the exterior of the luggage. This protected zipper adds to the durability and esthetic form of the luggage.
