A toy guitar includes a guitar body defining an interior space. The toy guitar may further include a track extending within the interior space from an opening of the guitar body. The toy guitar may further include a guitar neck arranged partially in the opening. The neck is manipulateable between an extended position in which the guitar neck extends from the guitar body and a retracted position in which the guitar neck is at least partially retracted into the interior space along the track. In some cases, the guitar neck may include a retention structure configured to retain the guitar neck in the extended position. The toy guitar may also include an input assembly integrated with the guitar neck configured to cause the toy guitar to emit a light or a sound upon receipt of an input when the guitar neck is in the extended position.

The present invention is a musical instrument structure (1) that produces applause sound effect to be used in the category of percussion instruments in the music sector, characterized in that; it comprises at least two cymbals (10) which are located on top of each other by means of centering thereof through the connection holes (11), are aligned such that the diameters of the cymbals (10) reduce from bottom to top, an inclined form (12) which allows for overlapping of the cymbals (10) with each other and for producing applause sound effect.

A toy flowerpot with a movable toy flower includes a battery to power a mechanism in the toy flower. The flower includes the parts of a stem, sepal, petals and a front flower face around which the petals are mounted, at least one of which parts is a reactive part. A mechanism moves one or more parts of the flower; and includes an actuator with a magnet and electromagnetic coil with the flower. A signal receiver or sensor of changes causes at least one of movement of the flower parts. A microprocessor processes the signal or sensed change and generates instructions to change the operation of the electromagnetic coil in response to the signal or sensed change.

A disc shaped throwing object comprises a soft disc having a central section, a bridging section and a rim, where the central section forms a disc centre through which a central axis is defined and which central section is joined to the rim via the bridging section. The disc further comprises a holding structure placed radially around the central axis, the holding structure being joined with and stretching out in a direction away from an inner surface of the central section. The holding structure is adapted to hold a module with electrically powered elements in abutment with the inner surface.

A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.
