A model toy includes: a placement member; a first movable member which includes an engaging portion and which is movable to a position that is distant from the placement member; and a second movable member which is urged toward the placement member, which includes an engaged portion that is engaged with the engaging portion when the first movable member is moved, and which is movable to a position that is distant from the placement member. The model toy further includes a guide portion which changes a path of one or both of the engaging portion and the engaged portion as the second movable member is moved, to disengage the engaged portion from the engaging portion.

A pressing toy made of silicone is disclosed, including a first hollow housing and a second hollow housing that can be assembled into a housing body. The inner cavity of the first hollow housing and the inner cavity of the second hollow housing are assembled to form an inflatable chamber. The outer peripheral wall of the housing body is provided with a number of elastic protrusions that protrude outward. The elastic protrusions are of a hollow structure, and the inner cavity of each of the elastic protruding protrusions is communicated with the inflatable chamber. By pressing the housing body, some of the elastic protrusions are raised, or some elastic protrusions can be pressed so that some other elastic protrusions are raised, thereby creating a visual feedback of the deformation caused by the pressing action.

Component elements or component pieces of a recreational entertainment—at the rate of two active or main components and four accessories or supplements—are characterized by its unusual and original function.

A device (10) for flipping stacked cards from a first position to an opposite second position, the device comprising a flexible hollow cup-shaped member (12) having a base portion (13) defining a rim (14), and at least one recess (15) or aperture formed in or proximate a portion of the rim so that when the base portion is placed on a generally flat surface (16), there is formed at least one opening (17) that allows air to pass through when pressure is applied to an outer surface of the cup-shaped member

A transformable toy includes a transformable assembly, a bottom locking member, a top locking member and a resilient set. The transformable assembly includes a bottom plate and a top plate. The bottom locking member is disposed on the bottom plate and includes a bottom hook. The top locking member is disposed on the top plate and includes a top hook. The top locking member is able to be driven by a downward force to engage the top hook with the bottom hook. The bottom hook is able to be driven by an upward force opposite to the downward force to be disengaged from the top hook.

A jumping toy and the methodology of creating a cascading arrangement of multiple jumping toys. Each jumping toy has a first segment and a second segment that are connected at a joint. The first segment and the second segment can rotate about the joint between a first configuration and a second configuration. Each jumping toy has a biasing element that biases the jumping toy toward its second configuration. Each jumping toy is stable in its first configuration and quickly transforms into its second configuration once it is slightly displaced out of its first configuration. The rapid change in configuration makes the bi-stable toy jump. A plurality of bi-stable toys can be overlapped into a cascading chain. The first toy in the cascading chain is triggered. The movement of the first toy triggers the next toy in the chain in a cascade.

A bi-stable jumping toy that can be operated individually or with other jumping toys in a cascading chain. The toy has a first segment and a second segment that are joined in a scissor configuration. An elastic band extends between the first segment and the second segment. The elastic band biases the toy into the second configuration. However, the first segment and the second segment can be manually rotated into the stable first configuration. In the first configuration, the elastic band is stretched across the pivot axis and provides no rotational bias to either the first segment or the second segment. The toy is triggered by rotating the first segment and/or the second segment only slightly out of the first configuration. Once moved, the spring energy in the elastic band releases and the toy rapidly moves into its second configuration.

An elastic object, adapted for cushioning, gripping, pressing or grasping uses, includes an elastic body and an elastic cloth layer wrapping and covering the exterior of the elastic body in a tight contacting manner. The elastic cloth layer is closely bonded on the elastic body in such a manner that the elastic body and the elastic cloth layer are deformed simultaneously in response to an applied external force, and that the elastic body and the elastic cloth layer restore their original shapes when the applied external force vanishes. Because the elastic body is covered and enclosed by the elastic cloth layer, it prevents human body from directly contacting the elastic body. Therefore, plasticizer or other chemicals of the elastic body will not be left on the user's hands, which ensures better safety and expands the applications of the elastic object with better usability and utility.

This non-provisional application is a continuation-in-part application that incorporates non-provisional application U.S. 16/253,286 in its entirety and that presents enhancements to this prior disclosure. The enhanced jumping toy comprises the puppet and the plurality of springs of the prior disclosure. The enhanced jumping toy further comprises a pedestal. The puppet of the prior disclosure further comprises an anchor post and a grip tab. The plurality of springs further comprises a plurality of end caps. The pedestal is a stand that forms an anchor point on which the puppet attaches for storage. The anchor post is a structure that attaches to the puppet of the prior disclosure. The anchor post attaches the puppet to the pedestal. The grip tab is a handle that attaches to the puppet. Each of the plurality of end caps is a protective structure that attaches to a spring selected from the plurality of springs.
