Abstract: The subject application is directed to various sonic motion devices including a number of play sets in which a number of components located on a vibrating surface are moved in multiple directions as determined by the orientation of vibration fibers secured thereto and responsive to the vibrating surface. Also included an action figure having various features moved by sonic motion which may be correlated with sound such a movable jaw and a synchronized sound.

Abstract: This application relates to a projectile launcher in which the amount of fuel supplied to the combustion chamber can be varied to shoot the projectile in a lethal or non-lethal mode. The amount of fuel determines the velocity at which the projectile is fired. A low velocity launch on the order of 150 feet per second will be non-lethal at all but very short distance whereas a high velocity launch on the order of 450 feet per second will be non-lethal at a typical range of 100-150 meters but may possibly be lethal at a range of the order of 30 meters or less.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a display package for an animated doll or similar toy product that facilitates demonstration of the toy's animated features. The display package provides an enclosure that houses the doll. The doll includes an animation mechanism that drives a portion of the toy from a first position to a second position. The display package may include a moveable display panel mounted within the enclosure. The display panel is selectively engaged by the toy when the animation mechanism is engaged. The display package may include a support member that supports the toy within the package and permits the animation mechanism to move the doll from a first display position to a second display position.

Abstract: There are illustrated and claimed three versions of toy characters that are programmed to go through various sequences of movements such as sitting, lying down, rotating on a support accomplished by the movements of the body and leg assemblies as determined by a microprocessor. The three characters include various rib and block assemblies to provide for the desired programmed movements.

Abstract: A cartwheeling toy including an upper assembly including a torso with rigid arms and hands extending therefrom. A lower assembly including legs and a motor means for moving the assembles relative to each other to move the toy into a headstand and then return it to its upright position or cartwheel the toy as desired.

Abstract: There is illustrated and claimed the structure and method for performing a certain set of sequences of a toy character. Depending on the programming of a microprocessor and the functioning of various motor means the character can go from a standing position to a sitting position; a standing to a sitting position and a back position and back to a standing position, and a standing to a sitting position, a back position, a rollover position and, eventually, back to a standing position. The character is also capable of performing other functions.

Abstract: A hydrogen operated gun for shooting projectiles such as a paint pellet. Hydrogen gas is supplied to a combustion chamber and is combusted by a trigger controlled piezo igniter. The hydrogen may be supplied by a hydrogen generator or by a hydrogen storage container located in the gun housing. Suitable valve mechanisms are provided to control the flow of hydrogen to the combustion chamber and the expelling of exhaust gases from the combustion chamber.

Abstract: An angel wings assembly including a pair of wings supported by a central housing. A lever assembly is provided to operate the wings relative to the central housing. Straps are used to connect the housing to a wearer's back.

Abstract: A hydrogen operated fastener driving tool assembly including a hydrogen generator that is an integral part of the driving tool assembly. The hydrogen generator can use chemicals to generate hydrogen or electrolysis. Additionally, the generator may be disposable. Whatever is used it is capable of providing enough energy to drive over a thousand nails.

Abstract: A lawnmower having a hydrogen generator for supplying hydrogen to drive an hydrogen operated engine. A regulator supplies hydrogen to drive an engine for operating a cutter assembly of the lawnmower.
