A toy launcher apparatus of a soft foam dart where the dart is loaded onto a spike in a firing chamber by a pusher panel that presses against the nose of the dart. The apparatus includes a dart magazine with a feed mechanism. The pusher panel is followed by a barrier sleeve that prevents the next uppermost dart in the magazine, which is being biased upward by the feed mechanism, from causing either the uppermost dart or the second uppermost dart to distort and cause a jam. The barrier sleeve also prevents the magazine from being loaded through a top opening until the uppermost dart in the firing chamber is launched. Near the end of a cocking cycle, the pusher panel, which is connected to a cam follower tab that engages a cam member, moves away from a launch path of the dart in the firing chamber.

Modular tracks for model vehicles are disclosed. In some embodiments, a track of the present disclosure includes a plurality of track sections, each track section including at least one upper and lower surface and at least one end. In some embodiments, a first track section of the plurality of track sections includes a female connector and a male connector located in a first track section end region and a second track section of the plurality of track sections includes a male connector and a female connector located in a second track end region. In some embodiments, the female connector of the first track section correspondingly interconnects with the male connector of the second track section and the female connector of the second track section correspondingly interconnects with the male connector of the first track section to interconnect the first track section and the second track section.

An inflatable toy may include a housing, a balloon-like structure, a blower mechanism, a drive mechanism, and a motor. The balloon-like structure may include a base, an inflatable portion, and an inlet. The base and the inflatable portion may define an air storage area. The blower mechanism may be fluidly connected to the inlet of the balloon-like structure, and the drive mechanism may be operatively connected to the base. The motor may be operatively connected to the blower mechanism and the drive mechanism, wherein upon activation of the motor the blower mechanism may inflate the balloon-like structure and the drive mechanism may cause the balloon-like structure to move.

An improved toy assembly is adapted to be alternatively used as a foot-to-floor ride-on vehicle, or as a walker. The convertible walker/rider toy includes a chassis which is supported on a plurality of wheels, and a body that is pivotally attached to the front end of the chassis. The body includes a contoured upper surface that functions as a seat when the toy is assembled in the rider configuration. The toy further includes an L-shaped handlebar having a rider portion and a walker portion which are joined at approximately a 90&deg; angle. The walker portion of the handlebar is pivotally attached to the rear end of the body and is pivotally movable relative to the body. When the toy is in the rider configuration, the body overlies the chassis, the walker portion of the handlebar is received beneath the body and the rider portion of the handlebar projects upwardly through the opening in the front end of the body. To reconfigure the toy into the walker mode, the rear end of the body is lifted upwardly, and the handlebar is pivoted rearwardly so that the rider handlebar portion is retracted through the opening in the body. A latching assembly is alternately engageable with the body and the handlebar for releasably securing the toy in the rider and walker configurations, respectively.

An activity toy for a child includes an activity board member having opposite first and second side faces, a pair of keyed mounting shafts which extend outwardly from opposite side edges of the activity board member and a pair of support frame members for supporting the activity board member on a supporting surface. The mounting shafts are alternatively receivable in several different predetermined dispositions on the support frame members for alternatively supporting the activity board member in a variety of different angular dispositions.

Activity toy

A walker/vehicle for a child includes a U-shape chassis member which is movably supported on a plurality of wheels and a frame member including spaced, transversely extending, seat and handle bar portions and a pair of side connector portions extending therebetween. The frame member is adapted to be alternatively assembled with the chassis in a vertically extending first position in which the handle bar portion thereof provides a walker handle bar or a horizontally extending second position in which the seat portion thereof provides a vehicle seat.
