Patent number: 6095333Abstract: A bucket that children cannot put over their head, having a bottom wall, side walls, a removable lid and a non-pivoting U-shaped handle. The side walls project upwardly from the bottom wall and form an opening having circumscribing edges. The removable lid fits in the circumscribing edges for closing the bucket. The non-pivoting U-shaped handle has opposite side legs slidably mounted onto the side walls. The U-shaped handle also has stopping means for limiting sliding of the handle between a first position where the U-shaped handle bears against the lid when the same is fitted in the circumscribing edges and a second position where the U-shaped handle extends away from the lid and thus makes it possible to remove the lid from the circumscribing edges. Thus, the U-shaped handle, both in first and second positions, divides the opening into two smaller openings which are smaller than a child's head, thus children cannot put the bucket over their head.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 1995Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Ritvik Holdings Inc.Inventor: Victor J.

Patent number: 5387158Abstract: There is disclosed a play kit of detachable plastic components capable of forming either a slide assembly or a teeter assembly. The kit includes an elongated plastic playboard as a basic playing element. The latter has a wavy configuration and is preferables constructed in two symmetrical members abutting one another and releasably locked to each other. When used as a slide, the playboard is removably connected, at one end, to an upper end of a plastic support formed with steps to act as a ladder. The latter and the playboard are held together by removable struts. When the basic element is used as a teeter board, the support is made to act as a base. A prop structure is then detachably connected to the said base and to the playboard to allow the latter to teeter as well as to rotate about a vertical axis.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1993Date of Patent: February 7, 1995Assignee: The Ritvik Group Inc.Inventor: Victor J.

Patent number: 5035324Abstract: A toy packaging is disclosed, which comprises a generally cylindrical container having an open end that is closable by a cap, and, in combination with this container, the toy hat that is removably fixable onto the upper end of the container, the hat having a cut-shaped portion sized to fit onto a child's head. Advantaeously, the cup-shaped portion of the toy hat is of such a diameter as to snuggly fit onto the upper end of the container, and a full-sized picture of a child's face is provided onto the wall portion of this container adjacent the upper end thereof. Thereby, when the toy hat is press-fitted onto the container, it seems to be worn by the child whose face is on the picture. This toy packaging is particularly well designed for use to sell, store and put away toys construction blocks including coupling elements making them detachably stackable onto the other.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1990Date of Patent: July 30, 1991Assignee: The Ritvik Group Inc.Inventor: Victor J.
