Abstract: Test data TD, which are provided to a flipflop 11 of a scan flipflop 10-1 through a scan path 1S are latched with the timing of a clock signal CK that has been inverted at an inverter 12. An output signal S11 from the flipflop 11 is provided to a flipflop 14 via a selector 13, is latched at the flipflop 14 with the timing of the clock signal CK and is provided to a scan flipflop 10-2at the succeeding stage through a scan path 3S. In this manner, since the timing with which the test data TD change and the timing with which the clock signal CK rises are offset by 1/2 of the clock cycle, a reliable scanning operation is achieved regardless of the length of the paths such as the scan path 1S and the like.

Abstract: A mobile toy includes a plurality of body shells, each being shaped to resemble a different vehicle type, a chassis to which any one of the plurality of body shells is selectively and detachably coupled; and siren sound generating means, mounted on the chassis, for producing a plurality of siren sounds, each being selectable to correspond to a selected and coupled one of the plurality of body shells.

Abstract: A balancing game includes an elastic support having upper and lower horizontal support plates. A plurality of weight pieces, which are equally distributed amongst players at the start of the game, are placed on the upper support plate one-by-one in rotating turn by the players until one player exhausts his or her supply of pieces. The support tends to be more easily unbalanced and spill pieces with the increasing weight. A player whose last-played piece causes a spill must take possession of the spilled pieces and thereby decreases his or her chances of running out of pieces.

Abstract: A toy suitable for attaching to infant furniture has an elongated track having ends with connecting members positioned on the ends of the track for connecting to an appropriate portion of the infant furniture, such as the side rails of a crib. A housing is mounted along the track. The housing includes a motor and associated components which drive the housing along the track. A stop member is located on each of the ends of the track. The housing includes a sensing lever which is engaged against the stop members on the respective ends of the track, so as to switch the direction of travel of the housing along the track. The housing also includes a musical device and a gear train driven by the motor for producing a constant output to drive the musical device.

Abstract: A toy has a housing on which are located a plurality of individual operator buttons. These slide from a first position to a second position. The toy further includes an indicator member which moves from a nonindicating position where the indicator member is located inside of the toy to an indicating position wherein a portion of the indicator member is located outside of the toy. Movement of the indicator member from its position inside the toy to its position outside of the toy is accomplished by movement of one of the buttons. The toy further includes a control mechanism which couples only one of the buttons at a time in a seemingly random manner to the indicator member. After the control mechanism is set, the player or players of the game systematically or haphazardly, as may be the case, move the buttons attempting to discover which of the buttons controls the indicator member. When the proper button is moved the indicator member moves to the indicating position.

Abstract: A toy that includes a housing having at least one object which is movably located in the housing. Also located in the housing is an object moving member which is a composite of two sections. The sections of this moving member are each individually movable with respect to one another and each independently movable with respect to the housing. This individual movement of the sections allows them to move into a cooperative position with respect to one another. When the sections are located in the cooperative position and maintained in the cooperative position by coordinating the individual movements of the sections, it is possible to locate the object on the object moving member and move the object from a first point in the housing to a second point in the housing.

Abstract: A manipulative game can be constructed so as to utilize a housing having a transparent cover and a bottom member located within the housing adjacent to the cover and so as to be movable with respect to the cover between a no-play position in which one or more objects are clamped by the bottom member against the cover and a play position in which the objects may be moved to various locations relative to the bottom member. A timer is preferably employed with the game for operating an elevating structure which moves the bottom member between the play and the no-play positions. A stop mechanism is preferably provided for stopping the operation of the timer mechanism. Although the game is useable with only a single object within the space between the bottom member and the cover preferably a plurality of objects are used and the bottom member is provided with a series of recesses, each of the objects being capable of fitting within only one of the recesses.

Abstract: A target game can be constructed utilizing a support member and a transparent housing or cover mounted on the support member so as to enclose an elongated, enlarged area. A target is movably mounted on a guide rail within this area so as to be capable of being moved between the ends of a path. A spring is located on the support member for moving the target from adjacent to one end of the path to adjacent to the other end. An escapement structure consisting of parts mounted on the support and on the target controls such movement so that the target member only moves incrementally each time it is engaged by a projectile. A shooting structure is pivotally mounted on the support so as to be accessible from the exterior of the housing. This shooting structure includes a hollow tube within which there is carried a plunger capable of being manipulated so as to shoot projectiles.

Abstract: A toy vehicle having a base section and a turret section is movably supported on a plurality of wheels. Located in the interior of the vehicle is a motor which is suitably connected to at least one of the wheels of the vehicle. Included in the connecting mechanism between the motor and the wheels is a reversing mechanism for reversing the direction of rotation of the driving of the wheels and thus the direction of the travel of the vehicle. The reversing mechanism also incorporates a trip switch having a position corresponding to movement of the vehicle in one direction and a second position corresponding to movement of the vehicle in the other direction. The trip mechanism is tripped by an outside stimulus, e.g. a metal ball. Operatively connected to the trip mechanism is an exposure mechanism which alternately extends and then retracts a portion of the trip mechanism in and out of the body of the vehicle.

Abstract: A toy game of skill between two players is described wherein a track having a first end and a second end includes at least one surface extending between the first and the second end. Located at each end of the track and integrally mated with the track is a projectile launcher. At least one projectile, a small heavy spherical object, is ejected forcibly by the projectile launcher along the surface of the track. Resting on the track is an object member. The object member includes a self-propelling internal locomotion device which moves the object member back and forth reversibly between the projectile launchers located on the ends of the track.
