Abstract: A radio controlled flying toy device having a duck-shaped flying object, a RC controller and an IR beam gun is provided wherein the controller and gun are respectively operated by a first and second user. Both the beam gun and RC controller can charge the flying object. The flying object has a pair of flapping wings whose speed and directional characteristics are controlled by the RC controller. The IR beam gun sequentially loads and fires IR beam radiations towards the duck object. The gun is specifically adapted to hit the duck with the IR beam, whereas the RC controller is specifically adapted to prevent the duck from being hit by the IR beam. The duck object includes a controller unit/micro controller that is configured to allow the duck to fly after being shot for two successive occasions by the gun and fall after being shot for the third successive occasion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a combination cylinder, including a service brake cylinder as an active service brake with at least one service brake piston actuated by a pressure medium, the piston actuating a brake mechanism via a service brake piston rod, and further including a spring-loaded brake cylinder as a passive parking brake with a spring-loaded brake piston actuated by a pressure medium against the action of at least one pre-loaded spring, wherein the spring-loaded brake piston in the event of the parking brake is actuated transmits the power of the at least one pre-loaded spring by means of a power-transmitting transmission to the service brake piston rod. According to the invention, the transmission is designed such that the movements of the spring-loaded brake piston and the service brake piston rod are coaxial and the power transmission increases with increasing stroke of the spring-loaded brake piston.

Abstract: The invention relates to a combination cylinder including a service brake cylinder as an active service brake with at least one pressure-medium-actuated service brake piston which actuates a brake mechanism via a service brake piston rod, and a spring store brake cylinder as a passive parking brake with a spring store brake piston which is actuated by pressure medium counter to the action of at least one store spring, with the spring store brake piston transmitting the force of the at least one store spring to the service brake piston rod by a force-transmitting gearing in the parking braking situation. The invention provides for the gearing to be designed such that the movements of the spring store brake piston and of the service brake piston rod are coaxial and the force transmission ratio becomes greater with progressive stroke of the spring store brake piston.

Abstract: A remotely driven collapsible cooler apparatus that includes a top ring having at least one handle on its inner side, a latch on its outer side and a bottom plate that includes at least one handle on its inner side, a mating latch on its outer side and a plurality of rotatable and laterally movable wheels, a driven motor, and collapsible storage bag positioned between the proximal top ring and the distal bottom plate, which is expandable.

Abstract: Disclosed is a gaming system which utilizes successively transmitted infra-red signals. The system includes two user controlled components which interact with one another. In the preferred embodiment, each component is made up of a hand-held controller and a robot. The controller has both directional controls and a fire control. When a fire control signal is initiated a signal is transmitted to the robot. Upon its reception, a new signal is generated and transmitted by the robot. In this manner, weapons fire is simulated.
