| 20080254707 | MODULAR TOY VEHICLE - A modular toy vehicle design having a universal mating system between the body of the vehicle and the chassis such that multiple body styles will interchangeably mate with multiple chassis designs and where electrical interfaces are automatically established between the body and the chassis simply by mating and aligning the two together. The design allows for an electrical connection to be made in the process of mechanically mating and aligning the body of a toy vehicle to its chassis thereby powering electronic features that are physically connected to the body with the power source which is housed in the chassis. When the body is properly aligned and mounted, the electrical interfaces are automatically established. There is no separate step of plugging together mating connectors where one connector extends from a wire bundle electrically interfacing with the body and the mating connector extends from a separate wire bundle electrically interfacing with the chassis. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090017714 | Custom Remote Controlled Vehicle Kit - A method, apparatus, and computer software to provide a kit which allows an operator to construct a variety of vehicles such as cars, boats, hovercraft, airplanes, etc. The operator can use software to select characteristics of the vehicles, and then print out sheets of paper or other thin material that can then be folded into a vehicle. Motors can be inserted into each vehicle in order to propel the vehicle. The kit can also comprise special tools which allow for forming the paper or other material into particular three dimensional shapes. The kit can also comprise a remote control transmitter and receiver so that the vehicles can be controlled remotely. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090209167 | Transformable toy - A transformable toy which can be automatically transformed despite the fact that members are merely pivotably connected as in conventional transformable toys is provided. The transformable toy, which is transformed from a box-like configuration to a robot configuration, is vertically and longitudinally divided into two parts, when in the box-like configuration, includes an upper front member, an upper rear member, a lower front member, and a lower rear member, and has a frame disposed therein for supporting the above members. The upper front member and the upper rear member are each pivotably connected to the frame directly, or through a link, and are foldably connected with each other. The connecting portion between the frame and the upper rear member has an elastic member for urging the upper front member and the upper rear member in a direction to be folded. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090209168 | Transformable toy - A transformable toy which can be automatically transformed despite its appearance in which members are merely pivotably connected as in conventional transformable toys is provided. Front end portions of a first base member and a second base member, as well as rear end portions of the first and second base members, are pivotably connected by first and second link members, respectively. The second base member is urged by an elastic force of a first elastic member, provided on at least one connecting portion, to move forwardly with respect to the first base member. Figure members expressing states differing between first and second configurations are connected to the first base member and the first link member. Connecting portions of figure members have second elastic members acting against the elastic force of the first elastic member and having an elastic force set to be smaller than that of the first elastic member. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100136876 | Underground mining machinery toy - A toy or scale replica of an underground toy miner for coal mining having movable parts includes a body having an upper surface and movable caterpillar treads and a plurality of rotatable wheels mounted to the opposed sides of the miner, a boom mounted to the upper surface and extending from the front to the rear of the miner, an endless conveyor mounted on the boom with the distal end of the boom being laterally movable, a bucket mounted to the front and having at least two inwardly rotatably collectors for moving material from the bucket to the conveyor and boom and a ripper head terminating with a cylindrical ripper pivotably mounted to the front of the miner and above the bucket for gouging and digging material out of the wall of the mine for deposition in the bucket and thence movement rearward by the collectors to the conveyor and boom. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20080242189 | Intelligent toy for children - An intelligent toy for children includes a body and a pattern element. The body has a base, a stud, two rotating elements and two magnets. The base has an upper surface, a front section, a rear section, a front end face, a rear end face and a positioning channel. The positioning channel is defined longitudinally in the upper surface and has a bottom and a width. The stud is mounted on the bottom of the positioning channel. The rotating members are mounted rotatably on the front and rear sections of the base. The magnets are mounted respectively on the front and rear end faces of the base. The pattern element is mounted detachably on the base and has a positioning hole defined in the bottom surface of the pattern element and engaging the stud on the base. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080254708 | MODULAR TOY VEHICLE ACCESSORY MOUNTS - A toy vehicle design having two distinctly different methods to attach accessories. Accessories that attach to the front, sides, rear and bottom of the vehicle can connect to the chassis via a tab and slot system. Strategically positioned slots on the chassis undercarriage can accept tabs that extend from those accessories. The various accessories can be interchangeable and can be easily attached and removed without the need for tools. For front, side, rear and bottom fitting accessories, slots can be located along the outer perimeter of the vehicle chassis' undercarriage. The accept tabs can extend from the various accessories. Accessories that attach to the hood, roof and truck beds, magnets are built into the underside of the vehicle body with magnets of the opposite polarity attached to the inside of the accessories. For electronic accessories, the present invention can utilize female electrical connectors that can be located along the sides of the chassis undercarriage to accept male electrical connectors attached to accessories. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090036018 | Interactive toy vehicle and methods of use - A toy vehicle set is provided having a toy automobile including an accessible compartment and defining an underside. A toy automobile component extends from the underside. A lift includes at least one post. The post engages the underside and a ground surface in a configuration to raise the toy automobile a predetermined distance from the ground surface such that the at least one toy automobile component is accessible for interaction during imaginative play. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090130946 | SELF-ASSEMBLING TOY, TOY ASSEMBLER, LAUNCHER, AND TRACK - An aspect of the present invention provides a toy assembly system comprising a central compartment configured to house a plurality of toy bodies, each toy body having magnetic hubs arranged in an outer region of the body. The system can include outer compartments that house ferromagnetic outer components (e.g., ferromagnetic spheres) separate from the toy bodies and a release mechanism configured to release during a single operation a single toy body and a set of outer components, wherein the single toy body and the set of outer components self-assemble and automatically align. Another aspect provides a toy track system comprising a launch portion configured to magnetically retain the magnetic vehicle in a launch position, a release configured to release the vehicle from the launch position, and a track portion coupled to the launch portion and configured to guide the released vehicle along a predetermined path. | 05-21-2009 |
