Abstract: A toy playset including a transportable component such as a toy car, which includes a mesh portion having a plurality of loop structures defining apertures therein, and a transporting component including an engagement portion for engaging the transportable component and moving the transportable component from a first position to a second position. The transporting component can be, for example, a track on which the transportable component rolls, a pivoting ramp or track switch, a crane that grips and lifts the transportable component, a pivoting support pad, or a bounce pad.

Abstract: A toy apparatus includes a body portion including a mesh component formed of a plurality of loop structures, each loop structure defining a loop opening, and at least one non-mesh component or accessory connected to the mesh component of the body to allow articulation of the non-mesh component with respect to the mesh component of the body.

Abstract: A toy building construction set has a plurality of molded support components. The three main types of support components include a column, a beam and a base. Each column includes a protrusion on one end to be accepted into a corresponding aperture in a base or underlying column. Each beam includes protrusions on each end adapted to be releasably received into corresponding slots located atop the columns. Each beam also includes panel-receiving prongs along the length of the beam to accommodate building panels. The building panels may have printing on one or both sides so as to appear as the exterior of a building, the interior of a building, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Various patterns of receptor holes formed in the torso, arms and legs of a plastic toy action figure permit various accessories, also of plastic, having compliant press-in pins to be selectively added to and removed from the toy figure. Additionally, a rotatable coupling mechanism extends through the torso, the coupling mechanism having a receptor hole at each end thereof, the holes in the coupling mechanism being in a predetermined relation with respect to prearranged patterns of receptor holes in the front and rear of the torso. In this way, accessories can be plugged into the ends of the coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism is provided with two sets of facial teeth or serrations that are normally resiliently urged into engagement but which disengage if the coupling mechanism is subjected to an excessive amount of twisting force, thereby avoiding breakage.

Abstract: An electronic maze game having a housing containing control circuitry and supporting a matrix of position keys. When energized, the control circuitry generates a unique, invisible maze through which the players are required to proceed.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the control circuitry positions a treasure to be captured by the players within the maze and controls the movements of a monster which hunts the players during their progress through the maze.

Abstract: An electronic game having a display field of illuminatable segments arranged in a matrix or array of rows and columns, with a plurality of manually operable switches equal in number to the number of columns, the switches having different functions determined by the rules of one of a plurality of games playable on the electronic game. At least one segment is illuminated in a predetermined column and upon initiation of the game segments in that column are successively illuminated, one at a time. Depending on the function assigned to the switches manual operation of one of the switches causes one of three displayed results, the reversal of the direction of successive illumination, the varying of the speed of successive illumination, or the ceasing of the sequence of illumination displaying the then illuminated segment in a static condition.
