Abstract: A water sink toy is sized and dimensioned to move and sink in water so as to simulate a squid, or the like. The sink toy includes a shaped, weighted head having an opening formed therein. A number of tentacle-like, floatable elongated members are secured to the head so as to move in water and provide buoyancy to the sink toy. The opening in the head may be used to grasp the head, to enable it to be worn on a finger in the manner of a ring, or to be attached to other objects.

Abstract: An instruction board (10) is disclosed providing multiple pictorial presentations (76) in a column, with each including written presentations (78, 80) and voice modules (60) in two languages such as Spanish and English. The pictorial and written presentations (76, 78, 80) are printed on a thin, flexible, and water resistant label (14) secured to the front (16) of a hollow body (12) and extending over and sealing speaker and switch openings (38, 40). Voice modules (60) in the form of panels are mounted by their opposite peripheral edges by strips (66) of double sided adhesive foam tape such that the label (14) vibrates by the air movement within the hollow body (12) by the vibration of the speaker (64) of the voice module (60).

Abstract: A locking apparatus has first and second assemblies each containing an inclined plane. The inclined planes contact one another at a locking position and releasably fix the first assembly to the second assembly. The apparatus includes means for urging one of the inclined planes into the other at a force sufficient for maintaining the inclined planes in contact one relative to the other during movement of one assembly relative to the other and during wear for maintaining locking contact and compensating for the wear.
