Abstract: The present invention relates to a glycan composition useful as nutritional supplement, such as for instant formula supplement and as nutraceutical products and a method of preparation thereof.

Abstract: A toy building set comprising toy building elements (1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11) which may be coupled together to build structures. Some of the toy building elements are in the form of shafts (5) and bushings (7) which are capable of coupling other toy building elements together, as these other toy building elements are provided with coupling means which are complementary to said shafts (5) and bushings (7). The toy building set also comprises at least one tubular, elongated, flexible toy building element (6) which essentially has a uniform cross section over its entire length, and whose end faces appear as clean cuts perpendicular to its longitudinal direction. This tubular, elongated, flexible toy building element (6) has such an inner shape that it may be coupled together with said shafts (5) and bushings (7) by gripping at least a portion of these.

Abstract: A toy car (1) is provided which has a car box (10) on which two wheels (20) are rotatably mounted. Each wheel (20) has an eccentric disc (21) at the side facing the car box (10). The sidewalls (16) of the car box (10) have longitudinal grooves (27). These are engaged by guide cams of skid places over the corresponding wheel (20). When the car is pulled, the wheels rotate, the eccentric disc (21) moves which causes the skid to reciprocally move. The car thus simulates foot movement.

Abstract: A switch point for a toy cog railway which has smooth tracks with a centrally disposed gear rod comprising a shifting device with a curved and a straight gear rod piece for the given driving direction. The shifting device which supports these gear rod pieces is laterally displaceable with respect to the track direction. Each obtusely travelled end segment of the switch point is provided with a tongue-like actuating element displaceably disposed in a longitudinal slot of the solid gear rod of the corresponding end segment having an upwardly extending nose. In the outermost position of the actuating element the nose protrudes beyond the gear rod and in the inner position thereof it is lowered to the level of the gear rod. Each actuating element is coupled to a rotating mounted disk by way of pivoted levers, which in turn are coupled with the shifting device. A vehicle which travels on the switch point actuates the nose, if the same protrudes.
