Appl. No.:

09/776957

Inventors:

Steven Rehkemper - Chicago IL

Ryan Kratz - Chicago IL

Assignee:

Rehco LLC - Chicago IL

International Classification:

A63H 2916

US Classification:

446197, 446457

Abstract:

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a toy that includes a pump permanently attached thereto. More specifically, the toy vehicle includes a pump permanently secured to the vehicle and a motor mechanism that is charged or energized by pumping the pump. The vehicle may also include front and rear axle housings that are rotatably attached to the vehicle frame such that the front and rear axle housings may separately move upwardly and downwardly in relation to the vehicle frame. Shocks, which are attached to the front and rear axle/gear housings and the vehicle frame, normally bias the axle/gear housings away from the vehicle frame, providing the vehicle with an all terrain driving configuration. In addition, the axle/gear housings may be secured separately to the vehicle frame, thereby providing the vehicle with driving configurations that may be more suitable for other types of terrains.

Abstract:

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an interactive posable toy that when positioned in various configurations, emits electronic sounds and/or produces motions indicative of such configurations. The posable toy includes a head pivotally attached to an upper torso. The upper torso is also pivotally attached to a mid-section, which is further pivotally attached to a lower torso. The arms and legs of the posable toy are pivotally and/or rotatably attached to the upper torso and lower torso, via shoulder and hip joints, respectively. The posable toy also includes a motor coupled a pair of cams. When activated, one of the cams laterally rocks the upper torso while the other cam tilts the mid-section relative to the lower torso. Positioned within each joint are means for triggering responses to specific positions of the arms and legs. A PC board is coupled to the triggering means as well as a power source, the motor and a speaker unit.

Abstract:

A bubble blowing toy in the shape of a barbeque unit. The kettle portion of the barbeque unit contains a grill and a power driven fan located below the grill. A bubble solution is poured on the grill and it forms a film thereon. When the fan is turned on bubbles are formed by the solution on the grill. Accessories having shape of foods normally grilled are also provided. These accessories also have openings over which a film is formed and arrays of bubbles will be formed having the outline of such accessories when the fan is turned on.

International Classification:

A63H 1700

US Classification:

446431, 446444, 446429, 104 54, 104 55, 104 53

Abstract:

A collision course including at least two vertically stacked looping track sections, each looping track section starts at a beginning area that connects to an upwardly extending curved section that peaks at an apex and then travels along a downwardly extending curved section. In order to stack the looping track sections vertically each looping track section is unsymmetrical. The downwardly extending curved sections feed into the beginning areas of the succeeding looping track section, and the downwardly extending curved section of the last (or third) looping track section feeds into the beginning area of the first looping track section. Each looping track section further intersects with another looping track section to define junctions. Gaps formed in each intersecting track section permit a vehicle to travel through the intersection unobstructively. If, however, two or more vehicles enter the same junction and the same time a mid-air collision can occur, when the vehicles come in contract adjacent the same gap.

International Classification:

A63H 2902

US Classification:

446462, 446457, 446440, 446465

Abstract:

In accordance with the present invention there is disclosed a toy bicycle that includes a rear wheel assembly rotatably connected to the bicycle. The rear wheel assembly encloses a flywheel and a means of interconnecting the flywheel and the rear wheel. The interconnecting means serves to energize the flywheel in response to a rotational force applied to the rear wheel and when the rotational force is removed the interconnecting means will continue to rotate the rear wheel in response to the inertia of the energized flywheel. An articulated rider, mounted to the seat of the bicycle, includes hands rotatably attached to handlebars and feet attached to pedals of the bicycle. When the bicycle is in motion, the articulated rider appears to pedal and operate the bicycle. The bicycle also includes a charger that engages and rotates the rear wheel of the bicycle and as such, energizes the flywheel.
