A safety razor is provided having a blade head capable of having an adjustable angle relative to a grasping handle and an adjustability of tension of a pivot to the blade. The blade head is connected by an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the blade head that is substantially enclosed within a conduit formed within the grasping handle. The blade head is angularly adjustable between an angle &#x3e;95&#xb0; from a linear centerline of the handle to about 22&#xb0; from the linear centerline of the handle. A blade head adapter may be further provided to allow for attachment and use of alternate existing blade head cartridges.

A collapsible vessel reconfigurable between expanded and collapsed configurations. A sleeve combination has an inner sleeve rotatable relative to an outer sleeve. A liner is retained by the sleeve combination. The sleeves have opposed major walls divided by opposed fold line formations. Arrays of flexion apertures span a lateral range from adjacent to the respective fold line formation toward a central portion of the major wall, and an aperture density can vary generally based on distance from the fold line formation to promote a true-round confirmation of the expanded vessel. A lid structure with a disk and opposed retaining tabs can be selectively engaged with the liner, and a retaining strap can be pivotally coupled to the sleeve combination with a first orientation encircling the sleeve combination and a second, longitudinal orientation. A storage bag with first and second longitudinally-disposed stays can receive and further compress the vessel.

Collapsible vessel

A collapsible receptacle, such as a beverage cup, that is reconfigurable between expanded and collapsed configurations with an inner sleeve with first and second opposed major walls divided by opposed fold lines, an outer sleeve with first and second opposed major walls divided by opposed fold lines, and a liner retained by the inner and outer sleeves. The receptacle is retained in an expanded configuration when the opposed fold lines of the inner and outer sleeves are not aligned, and the receptacle can be collapsed when the opposed fold lines are aligned. A lid can be removably retained by a retaining ring. The opposed fold lines of the inner and outer sleeves can be disposed in groups, such as groups of two fold lines, so that the sleeves have opposed minor walls. The major walls can taper in thickness from their mid-portions to the opposed fold lines.

Collapsible receptacle

A collapsible beverage cup and method for its use. The beverage cup is provided with a body portion capable of lying flat in a first state and capable of assuming the shape of a beverage cup in a second state. In its first state, the collapsible beverage cup is substantially two dimensional and planar having a relatively rigid outer shell having a first edge, second edge and boundary edges joining said first and second edges, the collapsible beverage cup further comprising an inner liner for retaining a beverage therein when said collapsible beverage cup is in its second state and a loop, preferably in the shape of a round ring, sized to slide onto the outer shell and releasably maintain the collapsible beverage cup in its second state.

A collapsible toy airplane reconfigurable between storage and use configurations. At least one spar member forms first and second wings and is coupled to a fuselage. The main body member and the at least one spar are formed from spring steel with an arcuate cross section whereby they can be reconfigured from a straight, substantially rigid disposition to a coiled configuration. A sheath of flexible material envelops the at least one spar member. The at least one spar member can be pivotable from a use configuration forming the first and second wings to a collapsed configuration substantially in-line with the main body member. The wings can be formed from first and second spar members, each pivotally coupled to the main body portion and each adjustable from a use configuration disposed at a dihedral angle to a collapsed, in-line configuration.

A switching arrangement capable of being actuated by an application of an air current with a playset component, a movable member for receiving an application of an air current relative to the playset component wherein the movable member for receiving an application of the air current is movable in response to the application of the air current, and an arrangement for actuating a response to a movement of the movable member for receiving an application of the air current. The switching arrangement can be electrical or non-electrical. Where the switching arrangement is electrical, it can cause an electrical signal to be produced in response to a sensed movement of the movable member.

An acrobatic doll and accessory combination with an acrobatic doll body, an engaging member coupled to the doll body, a doll accessory, and an engaging member coupled to the doll accessory wherein the engaging member coupled to the doll body and the engaging member coupled to the doll accessory can engage one another in a mating relationship. The acrobatic doll can have a torso, a head, first and second arms hingedly coupled to the torso, and first and second legs hingedly coupled to the torso. The doll accessory can take many forms including a tumble baton, a tumble garment, a tumble bar arrangement, a dancing stand, a balance wand, a vertical stand, a rocker unit, a swing arrangement, a propeller driven arrangement.

A multi-configurable toy vehicle having at least two rotatable segments. Each rotatable segment includes a first side having a first design and a second side having a second design. Additionally, each rotatable segment is independently rotatable with respect to each other from a first side orientation to a second side orientation. A movement means, such as pivotal wheels, enables the multi-configurable toy vehicle to move on a surface. The movement means is associated with at least two of the rotatable segments to facilitate operation of the multi-configurable toy vehicle when any of the rotatable segments are in either of the first or second side orientations.

A catching device for releasably catching a throwing toy is provided with bristles which can hold the throwing toy on contact even under conditions of high velocity and low-grazing angle of impact. The throwing toy has a plurality of looped filaments, joined at a core region by a wire cinch. The filaments radiate in plural angularly offset planes in a dense, bushy configuration from the core region. The catching device includes a base with a generally convex front outer surface and configured to be held adjacent a user's hand. A plurality of bristles are attached to the base, each having a proximal end adjacent the base and extending from the base to a distal end opposite the proximal end. The bristles are substantially straight from the proximal end to the distal end and are configured to catch the toy when the toy is thrown into contact with the bristles and to hold the toy on contact by engaging the looped filaments of the toy. Each bristle includes a generally enlarged head and the bristles cooperate with the toy to dissipate the toy's kinetic energy to prevent the toy from bouncing off the device.

Expandable and changeable playset building system

A figure toy having an expandable torso and a flexible elastic skin covering the torso, the skin interiorly defining a substantially airtight internal cavity. When the torso is moved to its expanded condition, a partial vacuum is produced within the cavity, causing the elastic skin to conform closely to sculptured features resembling muscles disposed on the outer surface of the underlying torso plates, thereby creating an appearance of great strength. When the torso is returned to its unexpanded condition, the figure toy achieves a more normal aspect. Actuator mechanisms are disclosed for selectively expanding the torso by swinging the figure toy's arms downwardly.
