Five-sided hunting blind

Four-sided hunting blind

A switching arrangement capable of being actuated by an application of an air current with a playset component, a movable member for receiving an application of an air current relative to the playset component wherein the movable member for receiving an application of the air current is movable in response to the application of the air current, and an arrangement for actuating a response to a movement of the movable member for receiving an application of the air current. The switching arrangement can be electrical or non-electrical. Where the switching arrangement is electrical, it can cause an electrical signal to be produced in response to a sensed movement of the movable member.

A hinge for an enclosure is disclosed. The hinge includes a hinge rod and a bushing. The hinge rod is secured to one of a door and a door jamb of the enclosure. The bushing is secured to the other of the door and the door jamb of the enclosure. Moreover, the hinge rod slidably engages the bushing to allow the door to pivot about the door jamb.

A hitch mountable refuse container transport device has a vertical element supporting a telescoping mount, in an exemplary embodiment, that carries engagement keys on a horizontal bracket. Each key is adapted for engagement with an upper attachment element and a lower attachment element on the refuse container. Adjustment of the telescoping mount lifts the containers for transport.

A beach wave playset for simulating an approach of a wave toward a shoreline. The playset can have a beach member, a wave member, and a pivot axle for enabling the wave member to pivot into and out of proximity with the beach member. Decorative elements, such as surfboards, dolls, and inner tubes, can be retained relative to the wave member and can be moved, such as by a drive wheel and motion conversion assembly combination, during a pivoting of the wave member to enable a realistic wave riding simulation. A plurality of water panels can simulate an underlying water surface. The wave member could be moved manually or by a motor arrangement, and electronic play effects could be induced in response to a movement of the wave member.

An acrobatic doll and accessory combination with an acrobatic doll body, an engaging member coupled to the doll body, a doll accessory, and an engaging member coupled to the doll accessory wherein the engaging member coupled to the doll body and the engaging member coupled to the doll accessory can engage one another in a mating relationship. The acrobatic doll can have a torso, a head, first and second arms hingedly coupled to the torso, and first and second legs hingedly coupled to the torso. The doll accessory can take many forms including a tumble baton, a tumble garment, a tumble bar arrangement, a dancing stand, a balance wand, a vertical stand, a rocker unit, a swing arrangement, a propeller driven arrangement.

In a preferred embodiment, a joint for joining a first panel and a second panel of a portable restroom includes a first jaw section, a second jaw section, and an outer bumper section. The first jaw section is adapted to allow insertion and removal of the first panel along a first axis and to provide engagement to the first panel in all directions perpendicular to the first axis. The second jaw section is adapted to allow insertion and removal of the second panel along a second axis and to provide engagement to the second panel in all directions perpendicular to the second axis. The outer bumper section has a first edge connected to the first jaw section and a second edge connected to the second jaw section.

A hitch mountable refuse container transport device has a vertical element supporting a telescoping mount that carries T-bar keys on a horizontal bracket. Each key has a horizontal surface sized to be received within a recessed portion on the refuse container and engage a lip on an upper periphery of the recessed portion. Adjustment of the telescoping mount lifts the containers for transport.

The present invention is a structure for holding and forming an optical mirror disc. A puller plate is attached to an elastic layer to the back surface of the mirror. A tensioner applies axial tension to the puller plate. A perimeter support engages the perimeter of the disc and reacts the axial tension into an axial compression force acting on the perimeter of the disc, flexing the disc into a desired shape.

A puzzle toy is composed of a plurality of relatively thin puzzle pieces having at least one image formed on their edges and a pair of holder members for holding the puzzle pieces. Each of the edges of the puzzle pieces has a different portion of an image disposed thereon so that when the edges of the puzzle pieces are arranged in a predetermined order the image is formed thereon. The puzzle toy also includes a puzzle piece holder having a first holder member in which the puzzle pieces may be at least partially disposed and a second holder member. One of the holder members has an opening formed therein, and the holder members are configurable in a storage position in which the puzzle pieces are retained within the holder members while allowing the image to be viewed through the opening and in which the puzzle pieces are retained within the holder members regardless of the orientation of the puzzle piece holder. The holder members are also configurable in a puzzle-solving position in which the second holder member is disposed in a horizontal position and in which the first holder member is disposed at an angled position.

A miniature-sized toy vehicle that is set in motion with a push along an intended straight-ahead path of movement and which rides on a ball bearing in depending relation from the vehicle chassis, the revolving mode of which ball bearing contributes to an optimum length of travel, and wherein the vehicle chassis has a rotative degree of movement about the ball bearing and during its travel will realign itself, if inadvertently released at an angle to the movement path, into a proper position for travel along the intended straight-ahead path of movement, to further increase the length of travel of the toy vehicle.

A safety control for power tool includes a trigger responsive element coupled to the power tool drive apparatus. The trigger responsive element is operative to permit normal trigger movement between on and off positions. In addition, the trigger responsive element responds to excessive force upon the trigger in the on position to initiate a safety shutdown of the power tool drive apparatus. Upon release, the trigger responsive element returns the trigger to the off position without reactivating the power tool drive apparatus. Embodiments are shown for both electrical and internal combustion engine powered tools.
