Abstract: A fuzz remover wherein a blade having cutting edges at side edge portions thereof is held between a fuzz remover body having at both side edge portions thereof a plurality of teeth each of which projects therefrom in upwardly-inclined state and a bottom member attached to the lower surface of said fuzz remover body. The cutting edges of the blade project from the side edge portions of the fuzz remover body and the teeth project beyond the cutting edges. The outer ends of the teeth are connected by connectors.

Abstract: A toy sewing machine capable of sewing in zig-zag patterns comprising cam body having plural cam faces, a vertically movable pin arranged to engage with any one of the cam faces of the cam body, and means for connecting said pin with a needle holding rod. Said means comprises a freely rotatable lever of "L" shape urged in one direction by a torsion bar spring, one end of said lever having the pin penetrated therethrough, and a link pivotally attached to the other end of said lever.

Abstract: A shift mechanism for typewriters has the capability of moving the carriage and a platen supported thereby from a first position to a second or third position along a longitudinal path on opposite sides of the first position. The first position is the normal or center position of the carriage for typing letters in lower case. The second or upper and the third or lower positions of the carriage are positions to which the carriage is actuated by the shift mechanism for typing other forms of indicia such as letters in upper case, symbols and numerals or combinations of the same. The shift mechanism including a plurality of pivotable levers operating in concert and actuated by finger engageable levers actuate the carriage from the first position to one of the other positions for change-over of the form of indicia desired. The shift mechanism may be locked in the upper position for typing letters in upper case.

Abstract: A motion-toy is provided which is adapted to clap its hand, move its eyes inwardly and outwardly, move its ears, shake its head, move its lips, raise its voice and dance. The toy has a fixed frame and a frame having a trunk movable with respect to the fixed frame which is interlocked with other structure to move the various parts of the toy. The head, eyes and arms are rotatably mounted on the said movable frames. The movable frame is moved up and down by a driving device to operate the trunk, head, eyes and arms. An operating plate and lever arrangement is provided for operating the various parts of the toy selectively.

Abstract: A shift mechanism for a typewriter comprises a platen supporting frame which is mounted for movement about a predetermined axis to align the position of the platen with the type case, numeral or symbol to be printed. The mechanism has capability of shifting the platen and is used both for the change-over of the two different types and for selecting one of three different types. A locking device is provided for the typewriter which allows the continuous printing operation with the changed-over type position maintained as it is, while, for the change-over of letters, such as from a lower to an upper case letter for a single printing operation, the changed-over position is released from the locked state. The holding and releasing of the changed-over position of type can be effected by actuating the key for the type change-over operation without requiring any specific manipulation.
