AMAZING GRACE FLYING TOY
This invention is a tubular shaped flying toy comprised of a polypropylene (foam) main cylindrical body with a heavy plastic ring supported front end. The main foam body is held in place to the plastic ring support with the help of rubber bracelet bands that stretch around the outside of the front end of the toy where the foam body stretches onto the hard plastic ring. The toy is thrown with a baseball type throwing motion, and provides a graceful, smooth flight.
SYSTEM FOR GAME PLAY WITH MULTIPLE REMOTE-CONTROL FLYING CRAFT WITH WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
A gaming system for enabling three-dimensional game play of remote-control craft controlled by a controller, each craft including a communication system with both radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) capabilities. The system can include a plurality of hovering remote-control flying craft each controlled by a handheld controller, and further may include at least one additional game accessory elements, such as a puck, a ground station or a gun. Each pairing of craft and controllers communicate via an RF protocol that transmits at least control communications between the controller and the craft based on pair identification information in an RF communication protocol. The craft and game-accessory elements also communicate via at least an IR protocol that communicates game-play information. Selectable pairs of craft and controllers may be assigned to different teams for playing multiplayer team games based on team identification information in the RF communication protocol.

REMOTE-CONTROL FLYING COPTER
A hovering remote-control flying craft having a molded frame assembly includes a plurality of arms extending from a center body with an electric motor and corresponding propeller on each arm. In various embodiments, the motor and propeller are mounted downward-facing at a distal portion of each arm with a motor cover over the motor. The center body can be formed of a two-piece molded structure that sandwiches a circuit board to provide structural support for the frame. The circuit board can include a plurality of tabs that facilitate mounting of wire connectors, and can also provide antennas and emitters for both IR and RF communications. In some embodiments, a removable safety ring protects the propellers from lateral contact.

System For Protecting a Rotatable Shaft of a Motor from Excessive Bending Moments
A motor assembly that includes a motor having a motor casing, a rotatable shaft extending from said motor casing to a shaft length and a hub coupled to said rotatable shaft, the hub having a circumferential skid surface disposed immediately proximal to the motor casing and having a channel configured to seat a propeller, when a propeller is present, wherein a bending moment applied to the shaft through the hub results in the circumferential skid surface contacting said motor casing.
REMOTE-CONTROL AIRCRAFT
A remote-control aircraft comprises an aircraft body with a mounting platform provided with a connecting part and first magnet(s), and the connecting part is perforated with a connecting hole; and comprises an aircraft wing with an inserting part and second magnet(s) on its underside close to the aircraft body, the inserting part is rotationally inserted into the connecting hole, the second magnet and the first magnet are connected by magnetic attraction, and the aircraft wing is in close contact with the mounting platform. Thus, the aircraft wing and body can be quickly assembled and disassembled and can be carried conveniently. While the aircraft wing collides with an obstacle, it can be rotated around the inserting part as the center, and the impact force can be unloaded by rotating to prevent the aircraft wing from being damaged and prevent the aircraft wing from being separated from the aircraft body.
LUMINOUS FRISBEE
A frisbee, including a main body, a plurality of LEDs, and a battery. The main body includes a central disc portion and an outer ring periphery. The plurality of LEDs are arranged on the central disc portion. The central disc portion is provided with a plurality of light-guiding ribs. One end of each of the plurality of light-guiding ribs is arranged close to the plurality of LEDs, and the other end of each of the plurality of light-guiding ribs is connected to the outer ring periphery. The plurality of light-guiding ribs and the outer ring periphery are both made of an light-guide material.
COMBAT DRONE WITH COORDINATED TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER
The invention relates to drones for a combat game, preferably a drone (1) and at least one opponent drone (2), said drones comprising radio control means, signal transmitters, receivers, and cameras. The invention further relates to a system for a combat game, the system comprising a drone (1) comprising a weapon (3), and at least one opponent drone (2) comprising an opponent weapon (4), wherein the drones are equipped with radio control means, signal transmitters, signal receivers and cameras. The drones and the system are characterised in that the opponent signal transmitters (6) disposed on the opponent drone (2) and on an opponent weapon (4) are in control connection, via a control unit (15) of the drone (1), with the signal receivers (7) of the drone (1), the connection being adapted for transmitting the signals generated through targeting by an opponent player (26) utilizing a display (22) of the opponent player as control means, and for controlling the rotational speed, position, and operation of the light source (9), sound source (11), and smoke source (13) disposed on the drone (1), and the motors (19) of the propellers (17) thereof, and in that the signal transmitters (5) disposed on the drone (1) and on a weapon (3) are in control connection, via a control unit (16) of the opponent drone (2), with the opponent signal receivers (8) of the opponent drone (2), the connection being adapted for transmitting the signals generated through targeting by a player (25) utilizing a player's display (21) as control means, and for controlling the rotational speed, position, and operation of the opponent light source (10), opponent sound source (12), and opponent smoke source (14) disposed on the opponent drone (2), and the opponent motors (20) of the opponent propellers (18) thereof.
Sound generating device
A sound generating device comprises top, bottom and sound generating assemblies. The sound generating assembly comprises a microprocessor, sound chip, capacitor, speaker and power source that are electrically interconnected. The sound can range from animal and/or environmental sounds, music, congratulatory messages, other types of voice recordings, bells, whistles and the like, and the length of play can be varied. When the device is struck against a hard surface, the contact in the top is depressed and interacts with a receptor on the sound generating device to communicate with the microprocessor and sound chip to generate a sound, which can persist from about one or more seconds, depending on how the sound generating device had been programmed. Repeat strikes of the sound generating device against the surface will result in a repetition of the sound.
