Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing bubbles. The apparatus may include a motor, a fan device operably coupled to the motor to generate an air stream, and a bubble generating assembly operably coupled to the fan device so as to be rotated. The apparatus may also include a bubble solution dispenser for dispensing bubble solution onto bubble generating devices of the bubble generating assembly. Furthermore, a support member may be provided for supporting a container of the bubble solution. The support member may be altered into a dispensing position whereby the bubble solution can be dispensed from the container into the bubble solution dispenser. When the support member is in the dispensing position, a switch that activates the motor may be actuated into a closed state. The support member may include an actuation member that engages the switch when in the dispensing position.

Abstract: A collapsible and expandable toy container includes a base member configured for placement on a support surface, a sidewall extending upwards from the base member, a top member, and an interior space configured for holding one or more accessory items. A telescoping column supports the top member from the base member. The column is vertically extendible and retractable relative to the base member. At least one spring biases the column towards its extended position which raises the top member to access the interior space. Openable/closeable doors provides alternate access to the interior space. An optional intermediate platform may be arranged on the column between the top and base members. In the collapsed condition with doors closed, the container resembles a can and conceals any accessory items in the interior space. In the expanded condition, the container provides a multi-level play experience with play surfaces at different elevations for the child.

Abstract: A track for a toy vehicle and a track section for forming the same. Each of the track sections has first and second edges and an upper surface extending therebetween. Furthermore, the track sections have a first connector extending from the first edge and a second connector extending from the second edge. The first connector of one of the track sections receives the second connector of another one of the track sections to detachably couple two of the track sections together to form the track. Furthermore, when coupled together the first and second track sections are movable relative to one another to adjust the inclination of the upper surfaces so that the track created using the track sections is modular and adjustable.

Abstract: A track for a toy vehicle and a track section that is used to form the track. In one embodiment, the track section includes a first edge, a second edge, and an upper surface extending therebetween; a first connector extending from the first edge, the first connector comprising an inner surface that defines a receiving cavity and an outer surface comprising a plurality of detents; a second connector extending from the second edge, the second connector being spaced apart from a portion of the second edge by a gap; and first and second slots extending from the second edge towards the first edge to form a hinge section of the track section between the first and second slots, the hinge section comprising the portion of the second edge of the track section.

Abstract: A direct-light illuminating unit has a case on which a reflector, lamps and a diffuser are configured in order. The diffuser has a transparent substrate, onto which, either side of the surfaces may have predetermined optical patterns being formed into a specific profile. The optical pattern is composed of a plurality of optical transform units. The specific surface profile redistributes the incident light and resulted in an averaged emitting light across the illuminating area. The surface profile is formed according to a predetermined surface function and the parameters of the function include the relative positions of the optical components of the illuminating unit and given constrains. The optical transform units on the surface have predetermined depths, widths and arrangement pattern that alter the onward direction and strength of incident rays and result in redistributed emitting light across the illuminating area with uniform luminosity.
