A toilet seat adapter device that is configured to be positioned on a rear section of a standard toilet seat in order to reduce the size of the seat opening. The adapter has a main body that is configured to be seated within the toilet seat opening. A first pair of movable arms extend form the right side of the main body and a second pair of movable arms extend form the left side of the main body. Each pair of movable arms terminate in clamp or similar gripping interface to capture a toilet seat and maintain the main body securely positioned on the toilet. The pairs of movable arms may be secured at any of various points to allow a user to apply the adapter to any of various sized toilet seats. One more LEDs may be encapsulated in or embedded on the toilet seat adapter.

A positioning mechanism for use in conjunction with rod and connector construction toy sets, such as K'NEX, to enable incrementally adjustable positioning of rods relative to associated connectors. The new mechanism includes first and second positioning members. The first, positioning member is, mounted on a rod for angular movement and includes a cylindrical outer surface with multiple detent notches. The second positioning member has a convergent pair of resilient fingers engaged with a spaced pair of the detent notches to releasably retain the first positioning member in any incrementally adjusted position. The second positioning member includes mounting studs engageable with laterally spaced connectors of an assembly, and a separate locating element engageable with at least one of the connectors to fix the second positioning member against rotation. The first and second positioning members are easily incorporated into otherwise standard rod and connector structures to achieve the desired incremental adjustability.

A vehicle toy combination includes a wireless controlled toy vehicle having a mobile platform configured to move over a surface. A central controller on the platform is configured to control at least one aspect of the toy vehicle. A hand-held manually actuable wireless controller is configured to remotely control user selected movement of the toy vehicle. Multiple vehicles can be controlled simultaneously with multiple wireless, manually operated controllers operating at the same frequency by initially synchronizing the controllers to transmit in non-overlapping windows.

A central controller on the platform is configured to control at least one aspect of the toy vehicle. A hand-held manually actuable wireless controller is configured to remotely control user selected movement of the toy vehicle. An optical receiver is attached to the platform to look downward on the surface and is coupled to the central controller. The receiver is configured to read a predetermined reflective pattern located on the surface over which the toy vehicle moves. Multiple vehicles can be controlled simultaneously with multiple wireless, manually operated controllers operating at the same frequency by initially synchronizing the controllers to transmit in non-overlapping windows.
