TOY GUITAR WITH EXPANDABLE NECK
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.
Toy Figurine and Method of Manufacturing a Toy Figurine
A toy figurine comprising a surface portion in the form of a plurality of adjacent square portions. Each square portion has a side length of from about 1.5 mm to about 2.0 mm, a planar centre portion, and a perimeter portion surrounding the centre portion. The perimeter portion is a chamfer extending away and below the centre portion. The chamfer has a horizontal width from about 0.1 mm to about 0.3 mm extending horizontally away from the centre portion.
INTERNAL BALLOON PROJECTOR AND RELATED METHODS
An internal balloon projector includes a body insertable through a balloon opening having a power module and a projection module. The projection module receives electrical power from the power module and is operable to project an image onto an inner surface of the balloon when inserted therein. A balloon assembly includes a balloon with the projector inserted therein. The balloon is inflatable via an inflation passage formed within the body, and can be deflated and reinflated. The internal balloon projector can sequentially project multiple images on the inner surface of the balloon.
Gesture recognition device and method for sensing multi-factor assertion
A gesture-recognition (GR) device is disclosed that includes a capacitive touch sensor panel and a controller. The capacitive touch sensor panel comprises a plurality of sensing pads arranged in a cylindrical pattern inside a handle of the GR device and detects a multi-factor touch assertion at a set of sensing pads of the plurality of sensing pads. The controller transmits a driving signal to each of the plurality of sensing pads for the detection of the multi-factor touch assertion, generates an assertion signal, determines a signal sequence based on the assertion signal, and converts a current inactive state of the GR device to an active state based on a validation of the determined signal sequence corresponding to the multi-factor touch assertion and an inferred user intent.

MOMENTUM WHEEL TOY
A momentum wheel toy comprises a track having two track sections and a wheel. The wheel has a ferromagnetic axle positioned through its center, with a first end and a second end that each ride upon a track section. The two track sections are separated by a spacer which separates the walls enough to allow the first end and second end of the ferromagnetic axle to ride on the ferromagnetic strips positioned around the perimeter of each of the first track section and the second track section. A handle opening through the device allows the toy to be rocked back and forth, creating the momentum energy for the wheel to go around the track.
Inflatable, Expanding Sword
The present disclosure provides an inflatable toy sword device with a blade configured to extend from and retract into the handle. A flexible blade material may be stored in a spooled configuration within the handle and inflated during extension. During retraction, the process is reversed and air is controllably released while the material is spooled. A method of extending and retracting the flexible blade material of an inflatable toy sword is also provided.
ILLUMINATING BUBBLE PRODUCING TOY WITH ATTACHABLE INFLATABLE BALLOON
An illuminating bubble producing toy with an attachable inflatable balloon. The toy includes a housing with two ends, wherein the housing contains the electronic components of the toy. A bubble solution reservoir is connectable to the first end of the housing and a hollow shaft is connected to the second end. The balloon attaches around the hollow shaft. A drive shaft is fixed within the hollow shaft, with one end connected to the motor and the second end containing a wiper. A nozzle is secured within the second end of the hollow shaft and the wiper rotates around the inside of the nozzle. A tubular channel has a first end submerged within the solution reservoir and a second end connected to the nozzle. A printed circuit board is secured around a base of the hollow shaft and electrically connected to the power source and various LEDs.
