  • Patent number: 5762293
    Abstract: A two-piece inflatable kite is made from configured, mirror imaged top and bottom polyester films which are heat sealed about their peripheral edge. Integrally extending from the edges forwardly and rearwardly are string connecting tabs formed from the top and bottom films. The tabs support reinforced apertures for attaching the kite string bridle. The top and bottom film portions also form a valve for adding air into and out of an air tight compartment within the kite. The air tight compartment also forms the wings of the kite.

  • Patent number: 5141467
    Abstract: A powered toy utilizing caps of the type used in toy cap guns to propel a toy vehicle. The vehicle is assembled with a launcher by a partible connector portion which has a piston portion assembled into a detonation chamber wherein the cap is detonated. The chamber is defined by an open ended housing portion which momentarily seals against the piston portion to propel the piston portion and vehicle when the cap is detonated, either by impact or electrical current.

  • Patent number: 4294445
    Abstract: A sealed housing having a pair of axially aligned front and rear apertures defining a line of sight through the housing, with two facing mirrors disposed within the housing adjacent the front aperture, the mirrors being perpendicular to the line of sight and parallely spaced apart from one another, with one of the mirrors extending into the line of sight and being semi-transparent in the line of sight area. A pair of light emitting elements are disposed within the housing below the line of sight and on either side thereof, such that upon their operation a viewer looking into the front aperture will appear to see an endless series of light flashes directed outwardly along the line of sight and being superimposed in the field of view so as to converge on a remote object with flashes of diminishing size or intensity as seen through the rear aperture.

  • Patent number: 4276713
    Abstract: A percolating bubble generator in which a stream of air is utilized to form a succession of bubbles and launch them into the air. The stream of air under pressure utilized to effect the objects of this invention is divided into two streams; a main stream of air is directed by a nozzle through a cylindrical percolation chamber, while a second stream is passed through a tube into a bubble-forming liquid contained in a lower portion of the percolation chamber, such lower portion having an outlet opening for the discharge of bubbles formed by percolating the liquid. The main air stream passes out the outlet of the percolation chamber, causing expulsion of bubbles formed in the lower portion of the percolation chamber.
