Abstract: A parcel box includes an external shell and upper and lower baffles. The external shell includes left and right side walls, a front wall, a rear wall, a base, a cover and a door. Each of the cover and the door are movable between closed and opened positions, respectively. When opened, the cover facilitates access by parcels through a top opening and into a storage area. When opened, the door facilitates removal of parcels from the storage area and through a bottom opening. The upper baffles are pivotally coupled to the front wall, independently movable about an upper common pivot axis between deployed positions and depressed positions, and independently spring-biased toward the deployed positions. The lower baffles are pivotally coupled to the rear wall, independently movable about a lower common pivot axis between deployed positions and depressed positions, and independently spring-biased toward the deployed positions.

Abstract: Provided is an article having a ball-like element with an opening and a rope-like element having a first end and a distal end. An attachment device is affixed to the first end of the rope-like element for connecting to the ball-like element. The attachment device includes a first point, received into the opening of the ball-like element and a second point generally opposite to the first point on the attachment device. The second point has a cross-sectional area larger than the first point. A flange includes a back surface and a neck generally in contact with the second point. The neck has a cross-sectional area smaller than the second point and the back surface, wherein, upon connection with the ball-like element, an underside of the back surface of the flange contacts the ball-like element.

Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing method for inserting an attachment device into a rotationally-molded product. An attachment device is provided having a first point, a second point having a cross-sectional area larger than the first point, and a flange including a back surface and a neck having a cross-sectional area smaller than the second point and the back surface. An end of a rope element is affixed to the attachment device. A ball-like element is molded. The attachment device is inserted into an opening in the ball-like element while the ball-like element is between 150 degrees Fahrenheit to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a toy building block system that includes a building portion having a housing with a surface and a building component. The building component is extendable from the housing and movable relative to the housing surface. The building component and the housing surface define a configuration of the building portion that is changeable during play. The toy building block system further includes a play component which is engageable with the building component.

Abstract: A ride-on activity device is disclosed, wherein the device includes a seat, a base and a connector for movably connecting the seat relative to the base. The connection between the seat and the base allows multiple degrees of freedom such that the seat is capable of bouncing and rotating relative to the base. The connection between the seat and the connector includes a rotation safety mechanism that allows rotation at the connection when the seat is occupied by a user and prevents rotation at the connection when the seat is unoccupied. Furthermore, the connector includes a resilient member that allows the seat to bounce vertically relative to the base.
