The disclosure describes a spring motor, in combination with a toy vehicle, that easily can be manufactured and wound up by moving the vehicle in reciprocating forward and backward movements. The motor is operable in rewind and run modes, and includes first and second spring gears; a spring having a first end yieldably engaged to the first spring gear and a second end connected to the second spring gear; a rear wheel axle having first and second drive pinions thereon, wherein the first drive pinion is meshed with the first spring gear; a rewind gear which is meshed with the second drive pinion of the rear wheel axle; a fixed gear that is meshed with the rewind gear; and a floating gear which is meshed with the fixed gear, wherein during the rewind mode the floating gear is meshed with the second spring gear, but during the run mode is disengaged from the second spring gear. A retaining lock is used to maintain the meshing of the second spring gear with the floating gear to prevent unwinding of the spring. Disengagement takes place when the vehicle is pushed in the forward direction thus causing the spring to unwind and drive the vehicle forward.

A fiber optic enhanced figurine assembly includes a figurine body having a figurine outer surface, and a bunch of fibers affixed to the figurine body and extending outwardly from the figurine outer surface. The fiber bunch includes a plurality of nonilluminatable fibers extending outwardly at least a first distance from the figurine outer surface. The fiber bunch further includes at least one illuminatable optical fiber that extends outwardly from the figurine outer surface to a second distance less than the first distance of the nonilluminatable fibers. The figurine assembly further includes a light source for selectively illuminating the at least one optical fiber to visually and decoratively enhance the fiber bunch.

A toy water pistol for discharging a volume of liquid temporarily stored under pressure in an expandable bladder. The water pistol includes a reservoir containing liquid which is initially supplied from the reservoir to a charge cavity upon manipulation of a piston. The liquid in the charge cavity is then provided to the bladder, in a pressurized state, through further manipulation of the piston. A trigger is provided for selectively controlling the flow of liquid in an output conduit, which is connected to the bladder, to regulate the liquid expelled from the bladder and output from the water pistol upon user activation of the trigger.

A domed game including a transparent dome mounted to a hollow base with game balls enclosed therein. The base has a top surface comprising a shoulder and a concave cavity. A plurality of ball recesses are arranged along the shoulder. A colored lever is associated with each of the ball recesses. Protruding from the top of the dome is a movable activating member. When the activating member is moved to an activated state an engaging member connected to the activating member, slides to an engaged position whereby power is supplied to a motor. The motor is operatively connected to a rotating member in the bottom of the base which rotates and thereby causes the balls in the base to randomly project into the dome. Some of the projected balls will randomly fall or drop into the ball recesses. The user depresses the lever and thereby ejects from the ball recess balls that do not match in color with the associated lever. The first player or user to obtain balls in each of the ball recesses which match the color of the associated levers wins.

An article of wearing apparel defines a curved mounting surface when worn and includes a decorative, illuminatable assembly affixed over the mounting surface. The decorative assembly includes a soft, flexible panel member having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a peripheral edge surface. The flexible panel member is sufficiently flexible to conform to the curvature of the mounting surface by hand pressure alone and is substantially comprised of a transparent or a translucent material. The flexible panel member defines a cavity in communication with the peripheral edge surface, which cavity is dimensioned and arranged to receive at least one light emitting element. The lower surface of the panel member causes a decorative pattern of refractive grooves dimensioned and arranged to reflect light propagating through the panel member in a plane disposed between its upper and lower surfaces.

A light illuminating assembly having at least one light emitting element is operatively associated with an applied or intended decoration on the exterior of wearing apparel includes an improved assembly for securing the light emitting element thereto without the need for predetermined openings in the fabric of the apparel article for accommodating the light emitting elements. The securing assembly includes a two-piece enclosure for the light emitting element. A first piece of the enclosure has a central bore for receiving the light receiving element and defines a base flange portion which is adapted to contact the exterior surface of the apparel article. A second piece of the enclosure defines a recess dimensioned to receive the base flange portion, with a section of fabric interposed therebetween, in a press-fit locking manner. The electrodes of the light emitting element penetrate the fabric and are pressed into engagement with an electrically conductive pattern formed or carried on the interior surface of the interposed section of fabric.

A toy vehicle includes a vehicle body having at least one substantially transparent portion and an opaque portion. The substantially transparent portion includes a substantially stripe-shaped pattern extending from the front of the vehicle body to the rear sides thereof. The opaque portion is defined as the entire body except for the substantially transparent portion. A plurality of illuminating devices are disposed within the body and proximate the stripe-shaped pattern of the substantially transparent portion so that when each of the illuminating devices emits light, the emitted light is transmitted through the substantially transparent portion for viewing from the exterior side of the body. An operable control circuit causes the lights to be sequentially illuminated along the stripe-shaped pattern, thereby simulating vehicle motion.

A slingshot is operable for propelling a projectile toward a target. The projectile is formed as a body from which a pair of elastic members outwardly and nondetachably extend. The slingshot includes a yoke having first and second substantially upwardly and outwardly extending prongs and a user-graspable handgrip depending downwardly. Each of the prongs carries one of a pair of confrontingly opposed posts that extend outwardly from the prong and on the periphery of which a slot is defined. In use, the elastic members are releasably received in the respective post slots and the projectile is grasped by the user and drawn rearwardly to stretch the elastic members against their elastic urgency. When the projectile is then released, the elastic members contract that propel the projectile toward the target. As the projectile passes between and beyond the yoke prongs, the elastic members are released from the post slots and travel with the projectile body toward the target.

Slingshot and projectile therefor

A remote control toy vehicle system includes a toy vehicle and a remote control. The toy vehicle includes a motor for selectively driving the toy vehicle. The remote control is electrically coupled to the toy vehicle and includes a manually actuatable first control switch for controlling the motor. The remote control also includes a sound producing circuit for selectively producing sounds related to the toy vehicle. Manually actuatable second control switches on the remote control the sounds producible by the sound producing circuitry.
