A binding mechanism system including a first support portion including a first ring portion located thereon and a second support portion including a second ring portion located thereon. At least one of the first and second support portions is movable relative to the other between a closed position wherein the first and second ring portions contact to form a generally closed ring, and an open position wherein the first and second ring portions are spaced apart from each other. The binding mechanism further includes an indicator that is generally visible when the ring portions are in one of the open or closed position and that is generally not visible when the ring portions are in the other one of the open or closed positions.

Slidable binding mechanism

A motorized flosser comprising an elongated body and a flossing head secured to an end portion of the elongated body. The flossing head oscillates in an arcuate manner. A battery powered motor drives a drive mechanism which reciprocates an output drive shaft, which drive shaft is in turn connected through a flexible drive rod to a drive disc. The drive disc oscillates in a rotary arcuate motion to impart either pure rotary arcuate oscillatory motion or a combined rotary arcuate motion and translatory motion to flossing material carried by a yoke of the flossing head. The flossing head may incorporate a toothpaste holder mounted upon the flossing head or toothbrush bristles mounted upon tines of the yoke of the flossing head.

A bubble making toy includes a bubble making device having an impeller and a bubble wheel including a plurality of apertures. The bubble wheel rotates within a bubble making fluid reservoir for forming a film of bubble making fluid over the apertures. The impeller is arranged to rotate within an impeller housing and delivers a flow of air through the apertures for forming a substantially continuous stream of bubbles. Each of the impeller and the bubble wheel are driven from a drive axle to which at least one wheel is secured, and preferably, each are driven at a respective rotational velocity that is a respective multiple of the rotational velocity of the at least one wheel.

A motor driven doll that rises from a face-down prone position to an erect standing position. Cam followers drive first one leg from an extended position behind the torso of the doll to a more forward position and then similarly drive the other leg to bring the doll to a splayed leg crouching position. Thereafter, simultaneous movement of the cam followers rotate the torso relative to both of the legs at the same time to raise the doll to an erect standing position. As the second leg is being moved from the rearward extended position, a third cam drive pivots the head rearwardly to shift the center of gravity and assist in raising the doll. As the doll reaches a fully erect position the head is driven to a forward position and, at the same time, a fourth drive effects a swiveling of the head so that the doll displays a pert glance of accomplishment.

The doll illustrating the toy figure includes an ingestion system having an inlet opening and an outlet opening. A resilient or flexible tube connects the inlet opening to the outlet opening. The resilient tube includes a straight longitudinal section within the doll's body. A carriage unit is constrained for rectilinear movement relative to the straight section, a roller movable with said carriage unit performing a persistalic pumping action as it is progressively moved downwardly along the straight section of the tube. A manually actuated lever connected to the carriage unit permits a child to move the carriage unit downwardly, the lever projecting through a slot in the back of the doll's body. Provision is made for only partially collapsing the tube as the carriage unit is returned to its initial position by means of a roll spring. The head of the doll is made of deformable resilient material, a cam link unit coupled to the carriage unit acting on a jaw lever unit to close the doll's normally open mouth as the child moves the actuating lever downwardly.
