  • Publication number: 20220111302
    Abstract: A projectile toy with a body and at least one suction cup. Each suction cup assembly has a cup structure capable of adhering to a surface with suction and a vent valve for venting the suction. The vent valve automatically vents the cup structure only when a pull force is applied to the body. The vent valve is normally closed. When the body of the projectile toy is pulled, the suction cup moves relative to the body and opens the vent valve. In this manner, the toy projectile can be easily pulled from surfaces without damaging the toy projectile.

  • Patent number: 11202970
    Abstract: A throwing toy that can simulate the throwing of a weapon. The throwing toy has a head and a handle that are molded from a soft polymeric foam. Reinforcement elements can be molded into the foam to provide structural integrity. The head of the toy has a face surface, a rear surface, a top surface, and a bottom surface. The handle extends from the bottom surface of the head. When the throwing toy is thrown toward a target, one of the surfaces of the head is likely to impact the target. Contact connectors, such as suction cups, are affixed to at least one of the surfaces of the head. The contact connectors are set at different positions and preferably at different angles to provide contact attachments across a wide range of contact angles.
