In use, a group of participants arranged in a circle around the central area each grasp at least one of the arms at a suitable point along its length, and the participants pull on the arms so as to cause the central area to move in a desired manner. The central area can be integral with the arms, or can be a distinct object, such as a disk or a polygon, with the arms attached symmetrically around its perimeter. Graphics can be applied to the surface of the central area. Bells and/or other objects that make sounds when moved can be attached to the arms. A handle and/or a cuff can be attached to the end of each arm to aid in holding it. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20150375100 | DEVICE FOR REVEALING A WINNER - The present invention relates to a device for revealing a winner. The current embodiments are in the field of toys and games and reveal a winner in play battle or sport. Specifically the device utilizes at least one sensing mechanism for revealing a winner. More specifically a device for revealing a winner can be Balloon Toys such as Balloon Swords. It uses sensing mechanisms to determine the moment a winner has won and then triggers a mechanism in the non-winners device to destroy itself. A device for revealing a winner may include a bladder fill able with fluid, a way to hold the bladder, a mechanism to detect a win event, a mechanism to notify the loser's equipment of the win event, and a mechanism to burst the bladder of the loser's battle/sport equipment based on their loss. | 12-31-2015 |
| 20160140811 | Amusement Machine of the Pusher Type - Amusement machine of the pusher type, comprising a playing surface on which a plurality of playing pieces as well as one or more prizes are supported, wherein the prizes have a shape and/or size differing from the shape and/or size of a playing piece, and a playing piece pusher configured to move over the playing surface at successive points in time in order to disturb the plurality of playing pieces and prizes supported on the playing surface; a transport system with at least one collecting location for collecting the one or more playing pieces and prizes which have dropped over the edge, and at least one infeed location which lies higher than the at least one collecting location, which transport system is configured to reintroduce the one or more playing pieces and prizes onto the playing surface from the at least one infeed location; and to transport the one or more playing pieces and prizes from the at least one collecting location to the at least one infeed location. | 05-19-2016 |

| 20140084545 | GEOMETRICAL BUILDING MAGNETIC TOY AND GAME - The magnetic device, namely a prism, is a game piece that is made of various geometrical prism shapes having a plurality of magnets with a particular magnet pole facing surface. Geometric magnetic game pieces, with corresponding to constructing a geometrical image structure, fundamentally rest upon accurate detailed perspectives through its visual perceptions and methodological inquiry to build a geometrical representation or structure. Structures are magnetically attracted or repelled by magnet poles. The invention is a method for motivational learning through the scope of mathematics, but in the context of geometry. It is an exploring magnetic device, a manipulative for learning to enhance or increase geometric proficiency and cognitive intelligence. The invention is meant to be a gratifying experience for enjoyment and educational purposes. | 03-27-2014 |
