Abstract: An interactive toy aquatic animal is provided and includes a head, a tail and a bottom portion. The toy includes a flexible tail extending from the rear portion. A wheel rotatably attached to the bottom portion. A first motor mechanism operatively connected to the wheel, wherein when the first motor mechanism drives said wheel, the figure moves causing the tail to flex. A second motor mechanism is also provided and operatively connected to various other parts of the animal for movement thereof. For example, the second motor mechanism causing the blinking of eyelids, the flapping of side appendages, and/or the vibration of a tongue.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a pneumatic power-supply assembly includes a refillable chamber having an interior capable for holding a pressurized fluid, a vent, and a fluid inlet. A pressure release mechanism within the chamber permits the pressure within the chamber to vent, when the pressure exceeds a predetermined optimum pressure. A pneumatic motor is mounted within the chamber and includes an inlet in fluid communication with the interior of the chamber. The pneumatic motor utilizes the pressurized fluid within the interior of the chamber to drive a gear rotatably attached to the pneumatic motor. In addition, the gear rotates an axle rotatably attached to the chamber such that the when the assembly is attached to a pneumatic operated device the rotatable axle may be used by the pneumatically operated device. In addition, a external pump is attached to the fluid inlet to continually recharge the chamber.

Abstract: A toy having retractable appendages, the toy comprising a body portion and a first appendage and a second appendage pivotably connected to the body portion to allow the appendages to be placed in a retracted position. The appendages biased by a spring arrangement into an unretracted position. A releasable locking mechanism retains the appendages into a retracted position when locked and allows the appendages to return to the unretracted position when released. In a preferred embodiment, the toy is configured as a motorcycle, wherein the first and second appendages each have a wheel rotatably connected thereto. In another embodiment, one of the wheels comprises a flywheel.

Abstract: This invention is a toy projectile launcher that launches projectiles. The launcher includes a housing having an entrance and an exit in communication therewith to define a channel, a pair of flywheels supported by the housing and positioned about and in communication with the channel, and a pump handle for rotating the flywheels such that a projectile entering the channel may be engaged by the rotating flywheels and impelled through the channel and out through the exit.

Abstract: The present invention describes a portable simulation game apparatus that permits a user operating the game apparatus to move or control a three dimensional object. The movement or current position of the three dimensional object is sensed by a plurality of sensors and transmitted to a circuit board or a control means. The control means may then relate the movement or position of the three dimensional object to pre-programmed images displayed in front of the three dimensional object, on a display means. Typically, the pre-programmed images being displayed represent a race or a track for which the three dimensional object, being a vehicle, may interact therewith. To move the three dimensional object, the user tilts or moves the game apparatus in a specific direction the user wants the object to move.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a toy projectile launcher that launches projectiles. The launcher includes a housing having an entrance and an exit in communication therewith to define a channel, a pair of flywheels supported by said housing and positioned about and in communication with the channel, and a means for rotating the flywheels such that a projectile entering the channel may be engaged by the rotating flywheels and impelled through the channel and out through the exit.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an interactive posable toy that when positioned in various configurations, emits electronic sounds and/or produces motions indicative of such configurations. The posable toy includes a head pivotally attached to an upper torso. The upper torso is also pivotally attached to a mid-section, which is further pivotally attached to a lower torso. The arms and legs of the posable toy are pivotally and/or rotatably attached to the upper torso and lower torso, via shoulder and hip joints, respectively. The posable toy also includes a motor coupled a pair of cams. When activated, one of the cams laterally rocks the upper torso while the other cam tilts the mid-section relative to the lower torso. Positioned within each joint are means for triggering responses to specific positions of the arms and legs. A PC board is coupled to the triggering means as well as a power source, the motor and a speaker unit.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a toy that includes a pump permanently attached thereto. More specifically, the toy vehicle includes a pump permanently secured to the vehicle and a motor mechanism that is charged or energized by pumping the pump. The vehicle may also include front and rear axle housings that are rotatably attached to the vehicle frame such that the front and rear axle housings may separately move upwardly and downwardly in relation to the vehicle frame. Shocks, which are attached to the front and rear axle/gear housings and the vehicle frame, normally bias the axle/gear housings away from the vehicle frame, providing the vehicle with an all terrain driving configuration. In addition, the axle/gear housings may be secured separately to the vehicle frame, thereby providing the vehicle with driving configurations that may be more suitable for other types of terrains.
