The present invention provides for a protective enclosure comprising a base comprising a first continuous mating surface and at least one conveyance aperture, a cover comprising a second continuous mating surface, wherein the second continuous mating surface is configured to form a seal with the first continuous mating surface, and a clamp, wherein at least a portion of the clamp is coupleable to the base, wherein a mouth of the clamp is configured to be offset from the aperture when the clamp is coupled to the base, wherein the clamp comprises a first sealing layer, and wherein the clamp is configured to seal the aperture against contaminants. The protective enclosure may be configured for use in a remotely controllable model vehicle to protect a control module.

A Radio Controlled vehicle manual gearbox transmission system is presented. A system whereby a user can integrate this standalone manual transmission emulation module into their vehicle, which would increase their enjoyment/engagement in driving said vehicle (by switching to manual throttle range control versus the previous single gear automatic throttle control system). Thus emulating real world racing complexity.

In one aspect, there is provided a toy vehicle that includes a vehicle body, at least one motor and a plurality of wheels. The at least one motor is mounted to the vehicle body, and is sized to have a selected amount of torque. The plurality of wheels includes at least one driven wheel which includes at least one flip-over wheel which has an axis closer to one end of the vehicle than the other end. In an upright orientation the vehicle body extends above the plurality of wheels. The toy vehicle has a centre of gravity that is positioned, such that, application of torque from the at least one motor causes the vehicle body to drive rotation of the vehicle body about the axis of rotation from an inverted orientation over to the upright orientation.

A building block assembly (50) comprises a first module (50A) and a second module (50B) which are in detachable engagement, wherein the first module (50A) and the second module (50B) are mechanically connected and relatively rotatable about a rotation axis. The first module (50A) is a building block module comprising a first building block and a second building block which are snap fastened or press fastened to form a building block stack. The second module (50B) is mechanically retained by the first module (50A) in a retention state upon snap fastening of the first building block and the second building block in a connection direction defined by a connection axis which is coaxial with the rotation axis to form the building block stack.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a driving toy and a playing device using same, the driving toy being provided with auxiliary wheels for guiding the driving toy to travel along a track, and capable of travelling on various tracks by allowing the auxiliary wheels to be installed by changing the positions thereof according to the type of tracks.

A system for encouraging a child to learn to read, comprising a computing device and at least one physical manipulative, wherein the computing device can identify the physical manipulative and display at least one word relating to the physical manipulative. In an embodiment, a letter identification board with letter manipulatives is included, wherein a child can spell out a word on the letter identification board and the computing device shows an animation of the physical manipulative performing the action indicated by the word.

A toy (1000) includes a toy body (100) and an accessory (200). The toy body (100) includes an accessory locking member (4) which cooperates with or is separated from the accessory (200) to position or eject the accessory (200). The accessory (200) is provided with a first clamping part (204) configured to clamp a toy disc (300).

A ride-on toy includes a handle unit; a front leg unit including a front leg and a front wheel mounted to the front leg; a rear leg unit including a rear leg and a rear wheel mounted to the rear leg; a pedal unit; a saddle unit; and a chassis. In a first state, in response to a first downward force applied to the saddle unit and a forward force applied to the handle unit, the front leg moves with the front wheel forward and away from the rear leg, and the rear leg stays still. In a second state, in response to a second downward force applied to the pedal unit and a rearward force applied to the handle unit, the rear leg moves with the rear wheel forward and toward the front leg, and the front leg stays still.
