GREETING DEVICES FOR PRESENTING A MEDIA ITEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH DEVICES
Greeting devices are described herein. In some embodiments, the greeting device can include an elongate body having a first end portion defining a chamber, and a second end portion opposite the first end portion. A message module can be positioned at least partially within the chamber. The greeting device can further include a first arm pivotably coupled to a first side of the body, and a second arm pivotably coupled to a second side of the body opposite the first side. An actuation mechanism can be operably coupled to the body. When actuated, the actuation mechanism can be configured to: (i) pivot the first and second arms relative to the body in a first direction toward the message module; and (ii) move the message module in a first direction from the chamber to extend at least partially beyond the body.
Display arrangement having magnet that interacts with a coil to induce movement of the display arrangement
A display arrangement includes a base, a decorative shell having a front cover and a back cover, an elongated central post that is rotatably coupled to the decorative shell and fixedly coupled to the base, a light source disposed on the elongated central post and within the shell, such that the light is visible though at least one opening in the shell, a stem coupled to the shell and coupled to the elongated central post, the stem having a magnet on one end, and a coil configured to receive energy from a power source to cause an arcing motion of the magnet, the stem, and thereby the decorative shell. The display arrangement can include a second shell disposed horizontally above the decorative shell and coupled to the decorative shell, and can also include a third shell disposed horizontally below the decorative shell, and that is coupled to the decorative shell.

Window-Attachable Animal Head Device
The present invention relates to a window-attachment animal head device, primarily comprised of a body that resembles the head of an animal and that comprises at least one suction cup and at least one L-bracket that allows the device to removably-attach to a vehicle window. The body is also comprised of a set of ears, a set of eyes, a nose/snout, and a mouth with a tongue. Both the tongue and the ears may be of an exaggerated length and are non-rigid, such that they can be blown freely by the wind while the device is attached to a vehicle window and the vehicle is in motion. In this manner, the device allows a user to bring joy, humor and happiness to passing motorists which would ordinarily occur by bringing the pet in a vehicle, but without having to bring said pet into the vehicle.
Kinetic Sculpture System
A kinetic sculpture system for powering one or more kinetic sculptures by an updraft to drive the one or more kinetic sculptures in a forward direction along a looped path. The kinetic sculpture system generally includes a pair of kinetic sculptures which are suspended over an updraft source by a hanging structure. Each of the kinetic sculptures includes a main body and a pair of wings pivotably attached to the main body. Each of the wings of each of the kinetic sculptures includes a front edge which is downwardly angled with respect to a rear edge such that the updraft from the updraft source catches upon the front edge to drive the kinetic sculptures forward along a looped path. In this manner, the kinetic sculptures may be driven along a fixed path around the updraft source without outside intervention.

INFLATABLE MODEL WITH LIGHTING EFFECTS
An inflatable model with lighting effects includes a light-transmissive inflatable body, an air supply component for inflating the interior of the light-transmissive inflatable body, and a main light source which emits light from the interior of the light-transmissive inflatable body. The light-transmissive inflatable body is divided into a plurality of decoration areas. Each decoration area is provided with at least one effect light source. According to the present invention, various lighting effect combinations on the inflatable model can be achieved, thus enriching the exhibition effect of the inflatable model. Therefore, the inflatable model in the present invention can attract attention of people more easily and is more suitable for activity meeting places with diversified lighting effect requirements such as Halloween, Christmas, and the like.
Flexible Trailer Hitch Receiver Display Sign
A flexible decorative display device for attachment to a hitch receiver. The flexible display device is formed from a bendable sheet having a distal front surface, a proximal rear surface, an outer shaped outline, and interior shaped edges. The interior shaped edges form both a central opening to accommodate the trailer hitch receiver and a tongue. The tongue has tongue alignment cavity edges that define an interior tongue pin-receiving cavity. The tongue bends backwardly at a flexure line to fold back over the outside of the receiver tube, aligning the tongue pin-receiving cavity with the pin-receiving hole of the receiver.
