Abstract: A toy is comprised of a propulsion system, such as a frame rollably supported by one or more driven wheels. The toy may be configured generically to include one or more platforms and a mounting bracket for connecting or supporting a variety of elements for transport and the remote control is used to control the toy, such as to cause the toy to move forward, in reverse, to stop, and to turn. In one embodiment the toy is utilized to entertain a pet, the toy having an animal likeness connected thereto. The animal likeness maybe animated and controlled remotely as well. The animal likeness is enticing to a pet in engaging in hunting and tracking of the toy.

Abstract: A bob toy device has a male disk, a female disk, a hollow bobbin disposed between the male disk and the female disk, a first cover disposed on the male disk, a generally T-shaped block disposed in the female disk, a second cover disposed on the female disk, and a shaft passing through the first cover, the male disk, the hollow bobbin, the female disk, the generally T-shaped block, and the second cover.

Abstract: A toy includes a platform, a moving body, and a balance bar. The moving body has front and rear wheels rotatable about horizontal rotary axes, a turning wheel, and a drive unit coupled to the turning wheel and one of the rear wheels to drive movement of the moving body when the moving body is disposed on the platform. The turning wheel is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the rotary axes of the front and rear wheels, and prevents the moving body from falling off the platform when the moving body moves to a peripheral edge of the platform. The balance bar has an intermediate fulcrum portion mounted pivotally on the moving body about a horizontal pivot axis, and two arm portions projecting from two opposite lateral sides of the moving body.

Abstract: A proximity responsive toy includes a motor-driven drive unit for propelling the toy, and a variable frequency oscillator unit including a capacitor plate for sensing approach of a capacitive body and having a frequency output that decreases in response to proximity of the capacitive body from the toy. A programmable frequency divider receives and divides the frequency output by a predetermined factor.

Abstract: A wheeled toy vehicle is disclosed having a frame and a drive wheel rotatably mounted on the frame, to roll across a support surface. A pair of forearms are pivoted to the frame, respectively on its opposite sides. Each forearm has a fist at its forward end and an elbow at its rearward end. Each forearm is constrained to pivot between a raised position having its fist well above the elbow and the support surface, and a lowered position having its fist close to the support surface. A drive couples each forearm, at a location between the elbow and fist, to the drive wheel, for repeatedly raising and lowering each forearm, as the drive wheel is rotated. A pair of upper arms respectively are pivoted to the forearms at the elbows. The upper arm is angled relative to its associated forearm, the angle between each upper arm and forearm being its minimum near the raised position and being its maximum near the lowered position.

Abstract: A toy having an upright toy body standing on a pair of skis to resemble a skier. Each ski is provided with a driving wheel operable by an electric motor in cooperation with a driving mechanism built within the toy body to rotate so as to enable the toy to roll on a ground surface. The toy has two hands each holding a ski pole, the two hands being operable by the same electric motor in cooperation with an alternating pivot lever to move alternatingly up-and-down while the driving wheels are caused to rotate. The up-and-down movement of the two hands causes the ski poles to alternatingly push the ground to cause the toy body to alternatingly tilt sidewardly, thus causing the driving wheels to lift alternatingly from the ground; as a result the toy turns alternatingly along a zig-zag course while it rolls, as if a skier were skiing along a zig-zag course.

Abstract: A push or pull toy (walker toy) comprises a hollow body simulating the body of an animal and formed with a transparent or semitransparent window, wheels for supporting the body and enabling transport thereof over a supporting surface in response to an applied force, and a dual ancillary movement generator having a first branch adapted to effect a nodding of a simulated animal head connected to the body and a second branch adapted to effect the pop-ejection of marbles or balls that are contained within the body and visible through the window.

Abstract: A push toy vehicle (10) having a rear section (14) in the shape of a half track vehicle (42) and a front section (12) with the operating jaws (22,24) of a shark or other type monster. The jaws are selectively operable by operating means (33) supported within the vehicle, upon actuation by a child pushing or applying a downward force to the rear section of the housing. The downward force rotates the rear of the housing toward the surface over which it is being moved in the forward direction, whereby the operating means is engaged to slowly open the upper jaw (24) until it reaches a release position whereby it snaps shut, in the manner of a shark or other monster.
