Abstract: A toy including a light source for emitting a light beam longitudinally outward of the toy, and a water discharge nozzle directed to intersect the light beam at a low angle thereto outward of the toy to diffuse and reflect the light for simulation of a force or pressure discharge from the toy.

Abstract: A mobile toy including at least one vacuum generating assembly mounted on a chassis and including an impeller with the axial intake end thereof positionable closely adjacent a support surface whereby at least a major portion of the radial discharge from the impeller flows radially outward and along the support surface to define a fluidic seal about a central zone wherein a negative pressure is maintained. The impeller will preferably mount with a cylindrical sleeve. The mobile device is propelled by driven traction wheels.

Abstract: An animated fashion doll including individually articulated arms, legs and head, each separately controlled by a separate thermal motor mounted within the doll torso and controlled from a base-mounted programmable controller which is in turn responsive to remote external stimulation.

Abstract: A writing doll having a body portion, a head mounted on top of the body portion, a pair of legs protruding from the bottom of the body portion, and a pair of arms connected to the body portion. The arms include a pair of hands with one hand formed to hold a stylus. The writing doll includes a forearm motion control system mounted in at least one of the arms near the stylus hand for moving the stylus hand along an axis in a X direction. A shoulder motion control system mounted in at least one of the arms near the body portion for moving the stylus hand along an axis in a Z direction, and an elbow motion control system mounted in at least one of the arms between the forearm and shoulder motion control systems for moving the stylus along an axis in a Y direction. The doll also has a control means connected to each motion control system for providing control signals to control the movement of the motion control systems in each of the axis directions.

Abstract: A reversible toy having a pair of substantially equal size fabric skins peripherally secured and configured to selectively expose each skin while enclosing the other skin. Each skin has multiple appendages associated therewith and aligned with the appendages associated with the other skin. The two appendages of each aligned set of appendages are invertible one within the other for an outward projection of an appendage associated with an exposed skin and a corresponding inverting and storing of the aligned appendage within the projecting appendage. The stored appendages defines bulk stuffing for the exposed appendage. The inversion of each appendage is effected automatically upon an extension of the associated appendage.
