Wall-based Rolling Ball Sculpture
20180236350 · 2018-08-23 ·

A rolling ball sculpture is comprised of modular track parts, connected together to form a contiguous pathway for balls. Magnetic wall mount parts are assembled to a wall in an array with even spacing in order to hold magnetic support pieces that may be moved into various locations. Track pieces may be held by support pieces that mount onto the moveable supports that are magnetically mounted to permanent magnetic pieces. Track parts include straight parts, turns, and mechanisms such as chimes, switches for diverting balls along differing paths, funnels, and conveyor parts that lift balls to the top of the sculpture. Parts may be constructed of 2-dimensional parts that may be cut or stamped from flat materials, such as laser-cut plywood.

INTERCONNECTING MODULAR PATHWAY APPARATUS
20180117485 · 2018-05-03 ·

The present invention provides for a plurality of interconnectable modular members that may create a pathway system with multiple entrances into the upper portion of each member and at least one exit from the lower portion of each member, thereby providing for a variety of convergence and divergence possibilities. The pathway system is suitable for receiving and transporting marbles and other spherical objects from one member to another. The modular members may be interlinked via male/female connectors to create a variety of configurations.

Start and End Components and Methods of Making Same

The present disclosure, in one embodiment, relates to a randomizer that includes a starter assembly and a collector. The starter assembly provides participants in a race with a fair start and also provides spectators with a beneficial view of the not only the start of the race, but in some cases, the race itself, including the finish.

Bathtub Construction Set
20180085679 · 2018-03-29 ·

A toy that is comprised of diverse cylindrical tubes, channels, and spouts to provide entertainment and educational value for the user through engineering a route for the transfer of water and other objects. These tubes are positioned in manners of various directions and secured to a surface, likely a shower wall or bath tub, with rubber suction cups or other affixing mechanism, which are easily repositioned and moved by the user. The issue addressed with this invention is as follows: children become easily bored and unengaged in the shower or bath, and this toy would provide for not only entertainment, but engineering experience for the child, as they would be constructing an effective path for the water.

Toy with rotation mechanism
09925471 · 2018-03-27 · ·

A toy includes a rotational lift mechanism having a rotatable drive shaft, a helical guide track positioned about the drive shaft, a receiver basin positioned atop the drive shaft, an upper track, a tilted panel, a chute having an opening formed therein and a lower track. In example forms, one or more balls traverse a closed-loop pre-defined path including along the guide track and within the basin, along the upper track, through an airborne trajectory into contact with the tilted panel, bouncing into the opening of the chute, and back along the lower track.
