A huggable communications device display includes a plush toy with a transparent pocket attached. The transparent pocket contains a communications device, freeing a user's hands while the communications device is displaying an image and/or emitting sound, so that the image is viewable and the sound is audible to the user.

In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided, and includes a toy assembly housing, an extensible object inside the toy assembly housing, an extension mechanism, and an extension member power source. The extensible object includes a base, and first and second extension members. The extension mechanism is operable to drive the first and second extension members towards extended positions, and is operatively connected to the second extension member via a lost motion connection. Driving of the extension mechanism by the extension mechanism power source drives the first extension member towards the extended position for the first extension member to break or open the toy assembly housing to expose the extensible object while consuming at least a portion of the lost motion in the lost motion connection. Upon consuming the lost motion, further driving the extension mechanism drives the first and second extension members towards the extended positions.

The toy animal of the present invention is formed of a rigid plastic container body, and a plush head and limbs attached to and extending from the plastic container body. The container body is made of two hollow rigid plastic parts, each having an edge. A zipper is situated between the edges of the plastic parts to connect the parts to form a container for small objects and the like. A zipper connects the plastic parts. The zipper parts are each fixed to the edge of a different one of the plastic parts such that the container can be opened and closed. Each of the zipper parts has an engaging portion mounted to a fabric base which is fastened to the edge of the plastic part by stitching.

The present invention relates to a plush toy. The plush toy is shaped as a doll, toy, cartoon or any other shape. The plush toy comprises a face portion, a torso portion, a plurality of appendages in the form of arms, legs, ears, tail and/or antennas. The plush toy has a single sock-like fabric outer housing filled with a soft stuffing material. The plush toy can be held in a hand, attached to a keychain or a necklace, and/or have a magnetic attachment. The size of the plush toy varies depending on the size of the sock-like fabric being used.

A sculpture device has a base, a figurine, a control element, a cover, and a device attachment clip. The control element has a magnetic mechanism for moving the figurine along an upper surface of the base in correspondence with movement of the control element along a lower surface of the base. The cover is coupled to the base and encloses a device interior of the sculpture device. The device attachment clip is coupled to the cover and has a through-hole or a sculpture lens. The device attachment clip removably attaches the sculpture device to an electronic device in a manner such that the through-hole or the sculpture lens is aligned with a camera lens of the electronic device allowing an operator to view the figurine and the device interior on a display screen of the electronic device when the camera is activated.

An aspect of the invention provides technology of changing behavioral characteristics when clothing is put on a robot. An autonomously acting robot includes an operation control unit that controls an operation of the robot, a drive mechanism that executes an operation specified by the operation control unit, and an equipment detecting unit that detects clothing worn by the robot. The robot refers to action restriction information correlated in advance to the clothing, and regulates an output of the drive mechanism.
