  • Patent number: 4299049
    Abstract: A toy which generates bubbles and shapes those bubbles into a recognizable form. The toy has a unique pump mechanism which injects air under pressure into a stream of liquid soap then forces the aerated stream through a screen to break up the stream into a multiplicity of bubbles. A removable shaper is arranged at the exit for bubbles from the pump mechanism. The shaper has an exterior which is the incomplete shape of an object recognizable to a child and a series of conduits which conduct the bubbles into porisions in which they complete the recognizable form.

  • Patent number: 4291884
    Abstract: A game construction including a game board having a plurality of positions to be occupied by playing pieces belonging to different players, the positions during a path to be followed from a start to a finish. The game has a number of different identifiable playing pieces which are molded from a pliable material. Various ones of the positions are identified with the different ones of the playing pieces, and a piece landing on a position identified as that of another player is flattened by the owner of the space. The degree of flattening caused is measured to determine later movements of the piece on the game board.
