Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a kit comprises interchangeable base panels, short side panels, tall side panels, at least one short back panel, at least one tall back panel, at least one horizontal divider, at least one short vertical divider, and at least one tall vertical divider. The base, side, and back panels, and the horizontal and vertical dividers, are selectively assemblable to form at least two disassemblable configurations, including a cubbie configuration and a locker configuration. In certain embodiments, the cubbie configuration includes the base panels, the short side panels, the short back panel, the horizontal divider, and the short vertical divider. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the locker configuration includes the base panels, the tall side panels, the tall back panel, the horizontal divider, and the tall vertical divider.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a steering mechanism for a children's toy vehicle comprises a non-circular wheel piece connectable to a wheel turning mechanism of a toy vehicle. An arcuate front portion extends along the front periphery of the wheel piece. Preferably, the steering mechanism further comprises a curved rear portion along the rear periphery of the wheel piece. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the steering mechanism includes a rear portion which is nested between two end portions of the front portion and the front portion and the rear portion form a tulip shape. In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the steering mechanism and wheel piece is combined with a front wheel frame which is connected to the wheel piece, a front tricycle wheel mounted to the front wheel frame, and a rear wheel frame which is pivotably coupled the front wheel frame. Two rear tricycle wheels are mounted to the rear wheel frame.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a chair assembly kit comprises at least two end pieces and at least two middle pieces including a first middle piece as a chair back and a second middle piece as a chair seat. The middle pieces each include at least two self-locking tabs, one tab each on two opposing sides. The end pieces each include at least two slots configured to receive the self-locking tabs on the middle pieces. The middle pieces selectively couple to the end pieces to form a chair, with the self-locking tabs being received in the slots and configured to selectively lock the middle pieces to the end pieces.

Abstract: According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a modular toy building kit is provided. The kit includes a plurality of building panels, each having a circumference with edges. A plurality of tabs are defined on each panel with one tab defined on each edge. The kit further includes a plurality of connectors, each connector having a length and having slots defined along the length. Each slot is sized to slidably receive and temporarily retain a tab of a building panel. Another embodiment of the present provides a self-contained toy panel and connector building set. The set includes a base having a rectangular support surface with four corners. The set includes at least four connectors, each having a height and four longitudinal sides with a longitudinal slot in each longitudinal side. Each of the connectors is positionable adjacent one of the support surface corners.
