A merchandise distribution control system employs specialized labels and requires no writing by loading or shipping dock personnel. All labels and tabs are preprinted or printed at the same time and bear the appropriate store identification number and carton serial number. This printing can be in OCRA, UPC, magnetic, or dot code for manual or automatic scanning. A distribution list is printed by electronic data processing equipment and sets forth all of the merchandise to be distributed, thereby retaining the merchandise information in the system at the end of the distribution process. The distribution list has a plurality of detachable distribution labels, which are associated with the items of merchandise, and when merchandise is placed in the carbon the distribution labels are affixed to a carton manifest. A multi-part carton label is provided having detachable portions which may be affixed to the carton manifest and to a truck manifest and whereby the carton label may be affixed to the truck manifest at the time of loading, whereby accurate control of the location of all of the merchandise items is provided.

Method and apparatus for merchandise distribution control

A comprehensive toy camping set which includes a convertible flashlight to lantern combination, a cooking utensil for holding cans of food and preventing the same from spilling, an electrically operated simulated camp fire, a toy hatchet which is convertible into an imprinting member for making markings such as an animal's paw in the ground, a toy knife having a whistle in the handle thereof for producing an animal sound or the like, a toy gun which has a light transmitting scope device for projecting images therefrom, an electrically operated warning device, and a novel camping pack construction. The camping pack has a piston and cylinder air pump for delivering air under pressure to inflate air mattresses or the like. A periscope device also is mounted on the pack for movement between a retracted position substantially within the pack to an upwardly protruding position permitting visual observation therethrough. A sound amplification unit, including a speaker, microphone, and electrical amplifier also is mounted on the pack. The pack has a substantially rigid framework with a planar, removable front cover on which a map, or the like, may be positioned and worked upon when the cover is opened. A battery operated light device also is mounted on the pack for facilitating visual observation of the map, as well as providing means for projecting light through the periscope for signalling purposes.

Convertible flashlight-lantern

Game apparatus

A walking mechanism for a toy having two legs. Each leg is provided with a vertically elongated slot intermediate its ends which receives a pin connected to a frame mounting a drive motor. The drive motor operates a shaft bearing two eccentrics with the eccentrics being located 180.degree. apart about the shaft and each eccentric is drivingly connected to one end of a respective leg. As a result, each leg is driven through a generally elliptical path with the movement of each being 180.degree. out of phase with the movement of the other.
