A universal floral bouquet assembly secures a keepsake to a floral bouquet arrangement. In particular, a container is provided having an upright probe projecting vertically from the center of the container. Floral foam that receives a bouquet of flowers is pressed into and through the probe. A receptacle associated with the keepsake frictionally engages the opposite end of the probe to securely support the keepsake above the floral arrangement. The receptacle may be integral to the base of the keepsake or may be a component of a transition piece, called an intermediate support, upon which the keepsake, such as a cylindrical candle, is secured. The supporting components are inexpensive to manufacture and ship, simple to assemble, provide firm support for the assembled arrangement during its transportation, and are small and unobtrusive, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing, but inexpensive floral/bouquet arrangement. The components are also reusable for those applications that require this feature.

Floral bouquet and keepsake assembly

A water gun has a housing and a cylinder mounted on the housing, with the cylinder being formed with an opening and defining a chamber. A piston is slidably disposed in the chamber and is spring biased to a fired position, wherein the piston is adjacent the opening. A reservoir is also mounted on the housing. A cocking member is movably mounted on the housing, and the cocking member can be manipulated to move the piston to a load position, wherein the piston is distanced from the opening of the cylinder and water from the reservoir can enter the chamber. Also, a firing mechanism is provided for releasing the piston to permit it to rapidly return to the fired position and thereby emit water from the chamber through the opening in a burst pattern, and to give an audible and tactile indication of water emission.

Toy water gun

Reconfigurable humanoid toy with simulated crater surface

Reconfigurable humanoid toy with simulated rock surface

A reconfigurable toy which may be used to selectively simulate a robotic humanoid figure and a rock configuration. The toy has head, arm and leg members which are rotatably coupled to a torso member. Each member has a surface simulating part of a robotic humanoid figure and a rock simulating surface. The toy may be folded into a compact configuration by rotating the members until they are positioned so that only the rock simulating surfaces of the members are visible and a rock configuration is simulated such as a boulder resting on a supporting surface. The toy may then be unfolded or reconfigured to simulate a robotic humanoid figure supported on two leg members.

Reconfigurable toy

A toy action figure having an inner core depicting a first character; and a removable outer shell covering the inner core and depicting a second character.
