In one embodiment of the invention, photo-chromic and phosphorescent toys are disclosed. A photo-chromic and phosphorescent toy includes both photo-chromic and phosphorescent materials applied to the toy such as through an ink, paint, plastic, or dye. The photo-chromic and phosphorescent materials may be supplied within a material of the toy or applied-to a surface of the toy at the factory. The photo-chromic and phosphorescent materials may be activated in various ways with various light activating devices that can generate an activating light with appropriate wavelengths.

Photo-chromic and phosphorescent toys

Toy vehicles having a toy vehicle body having front and back ends, front and rear axles, each axle having first and second wheels fastened onto respective ends thereof, the wheels having elastic tires thereon, the front and rear axles being mounted to the toy vehicle body with the axles being parallel to each other, a motor within the toy vehicle body, and a source of electrical power within the toy vehicle body, the motor being disposed with an axis of its motor shaft passing through an axis of one of the axles and contacting the side of a tire on the wheel adjacent the motor shaft to drive the tire and thus both wheels on the respective axle in rotation to propel the toy vehicle, the side of the tire contacted by the motor shaft facing the second tire and wheel on the same axle.

Marker tag darts, dart guns therefor, and methods which allow a toy gun to receive a marker tag dart, to put water in the forward tip of the dart and to shoot the dart. The marker tag dart itself has slits in the wall of a small chamber at the front of the dart so that on impact with a target, the inertia of the water causes deformation of the tip and opening of the slits to eject water for marking the location of the marker tag dart hit. The dart guns are spring chocked, and propel the dart with a blast of air from an air pump powered by the spring. Various embodiments and modes of operation are disclosed.

An interactive book reading system () responsive to a human finger presence. The system () includes a radio frequency (RF) scanning circuit (), a control circuit (), a memory () and an audible output device (). The RF scanning circuit () is configured to detect the presence of the human finger when the finger enters an RF field generated by the RF scanning circuit (). The control circuit () and the memory () are in communication with the RF scanning circuit (). The memory () stores a plurality of audible messages. The audible output device () is also in communication with the control circuit (). The audible output device () outputs at least one of the audible messages based on an analysis of the RF field performed by the control circuit () when the finger enters the RF field.

Pose and play dolls that will stand on a platform by magnetic attraction and dance with lifelike animation, but which may be removed from the stand for ordinary play. The dolls include animation powered from the platform through the legs of the doll. A motor in the doll animates the doll body, arms and head, with proportional feedback allowing control by a controller in coordination with music being played. The doll head may rotate or gyrate, and the arms swing as a unit or with the lower arms bending as the arms swing. In one form of platform simply rotates through controlled angles, again in coordination with the music being played. In another form of doll, the hips are configured to swing back and forth, and another form of platform controls the hip movement, again in coordination with the music being played. Various other features and capabilities are disclosed.

In one embodiment of the invention, a spinning or rotatable flexible disk toy is disclosed. The spinning or rotatable flexible disk toy includes a hand-held housing, an electric motor, a switch, and a flexible disk. The electric motor is mounted in the hand-held housing and has a rotatable shaft. The switch is mounted in the hand-held housing and electrically coupled to the electric motor to selectively provide power to the electric motor. The flexible disk is coupled to the rotatable shaft of the electric motor.

In one embodiment of the invention, photo-chromic applicators are disclosed. The photo-chromic applicator may include a liquid photo-chromic material such as a photo-chromic ink or paint. The photo-chromic material is applied to a surface of a toy, a page, or other object by a child user. The photo-chromic material may be activated in various ways with various light activating devices that can generate the activating light with appropriate wavelengths.

Photo-chromic material application apparatus

An oscillating hair dryer nozzle assembly attaches to a hand held electric hair dryer. An oscillating nozzle is pivoted back and forth by forced air generated by an electric motorized fan within the hair dryer. A propeller receives the forced air and rotates a propeller shaft which is coupled to a gear reduction assembly. The gear reduction assembly converts the rotational motion of the propeller shaft into repetitive pivotal movement of the oscillating nozzle. The oscillating nozzle automatically redirects the air flow in a plane. In one embodiment, the nozzle assembly is rotatably attached to the output barrel of a hair dryer body so that the oscillating nozzle can be rotated to pivot and redirect air flow in a different plane.

A water resistant audible toy, such as a toy water gun, includes a speaker having a water resistant speaker cone. The water resistant audible toy includes a switch to activate the speaker to generate sounds. The water resistant audible toy may further include a light to generate lighting effects and a motor to generate a vibration. A pressure equalizer may be further included in the water resistant audible toy. Seals may be provided as part of the water resistant audible toy. The toy water gun includes a trigger to actuate the switch. The speaker may be part of a water resistant sound effects module.

A pencil has a fixed non-replaceable eraser and a moveable sleeve. The fixed non-replaceable eraser is elongated to provide a larger eraser to pencil ratio in order to have more erase cycles per write cycles. The moveable sleeve can be moved to selectively expose a portion of the eraser. A ferrule couples the pencil body and the eraser together and provides an outer surface to engage an inner surface of the moveable sleeve. In one embodiment, a threaded female slot in the outer surface of the ferrule engages a male threaded tab in the inner surface of the sleeve. In another embodiment, a plurality of concentric slots in the outer surface of the ferrule engage a tab in the inner surface of the sleeve.

A water gun includes a sound effects module. The water gun includes a trigger to squirt water. The trigger actuates a switch coupled to the sound effects module. The sound effects module has an interior volume with a speaker at one end. A speaker cover seals the periphery of the speaker. The sound effects module also has a sealed compartment containing a keypad to control the sound effects module and a printed circuit board.

An interactive audio-visual toy that includes a base unit that receives removable audio-visual ('AV') cassette. The AV cassette includes a pair of rollers on which a picture scroll is wound. The pictorial scenes of the picture scroll are evident through a transparent viewing window. Moreover, a pre-recorded audio cassette is mounted on its bottom surface. The base unit controls the AV cassette to successively display these pictorial scenes without the use of expensive display hardware and to output audio from the pre-recorded audio cassette tape.
