A weapon emulator comprising: a body; an electro-mechanical actuator coupled to the body; a firing indicator coupled to the electro-mechanical actuator and designed to move relative to the body when the electro-mechanical actuator is activated.

A toy exhaust device (10) for attachment to a rear stay (11) of the frame of a bicycle, the device (10) comprises an elongate body unit (13) having formations (14, 15) thereon shaped so that the body unit (13) is locatable against the surface (16) of the rear stay 11, which surface (16) faces out from the frame, an exhaust pipe (17) extending from the body unit (13) to the rear of the frame and away therefrom, when the body unit (13) is attached thereto. The device (10) is symmetrically disposed about a plane of division (18) of the device (10), in which plane of division the longitudinal axis of the body unit (13) lies, and such that, in use, when an exhaust device (10) is attached to each side of the frame one device (10) will be a mirror image of the other device (10).

A removable structure includes a barrel and a simulated structure disposed on the barrel. The simulated structure includes a muzzle, a sleeve base, a removable base, a knob member, an engaging assembly and an elastic fixing assembly. The knob member has a pivoting portion pivoted in the removable base. The pivoting portion has a cam structure. The cam structure has a pressing face and a retracting face. When the pressing face corresponds to the elastic fixing assembly by the pivoting portion rotating in the removable base, the elastic fixing assembly is pressed by the pressing face to be fixed on the barrel. When the retracting face corresponds to the elastic fixing assembly by the pivoting portion rotating in the removable base, the elastic fixing assembly abuts against the retracting face to separate from the barrel.

A shopping cart has a base, a basket that moves up and down, and a latching mechanism to secure the basket to the base in a variety of vertical positions. The base has wheels, and legs extending upwardly. The basket has receivers to receive the legs of the base. The latching mechanism has an activator, a bias member, and latching pins. The activator moves from a normal position to a biased position to move the latching pins from an engaged position to a disengaged position. The latching pins are removed from the openings in the legs when the activator is in the biased position, and the latching pins engage openings in the legs when the activator is in the normal positon to secure the basket at a variety of positions about the legs.

In an aspect, a braiding machine is provided, and has a set of spool shuttles that each dispense a strand of flexible material under tension. A strand retractor releasably retracts the strands from the spool shuttles. A plurality of shuttle stations at which the spool shuttles can be positioned are arranged in a circuit. At least one shuttle carriage, when driven, repeatedly selects an immediately previously unselected spool shuttle and moves the immediately previously unselected spool shuttle from an associated shuttle station to another shuttle station along the circuit spaced from the associated shuttle station by at least one shuttle station that is intermediate the associated shuttle station and the other shuttle station. At least one spool shuttle is parkable at the at least one shuttle station. A drive arrangement is coupled to the shuttle carriage to drive the shuttle carriage.

A craft kit (100) of separate parts adapted for assembly into an article and instructions therefor is described. The craft kit (100) includes a frame part (110) in the form of a handgun shape, the frame part (110) including a stock (112), a barrel (114), a hammer (113), and a trigger (115) integral therewith, and a pair of grip-shaped parts (120), each fixedly attachable via first fastening means to a respective side of the stock (112) on the frame part (110). The craft kit (100) includes a pair of semi-cylindrical shaped firing cylinder halves (130), each firing cylinder half (130) attachable via second fastening means to a respective side of the frame part (110). Each of the frame part (110), grip-shaped parts (112) and firing cylinder halves (113), together with the first and second fastening means, comprise the entirety of a non-lethal, handgun-shaped article assembled from the craft kit (100).

A chair cover playset, including a chair cover for use with a household chair having a lower portion having a seat and legs and an upper portion having a chair back. The chair cover has a lower portion having a front panel, a top panel, and side panels that extend over the lower portion of the chair. The chair cover has an upper panel and a coextensive rear panel. The upper panel extends upwardly from the top panel, over the chair back, and then the rear panel extends downwardly behind the chair back. A plurality of ties secure the chair cover onto the chair by securing the upper panel to the rear panel. The playset may also include a partial chair cover having a full height panel that extends behind the chair and a half height panel extends in front of the chair back to the top of the seat.
