| 20140349546 | Novelty Pop-Up Toy Having a Receptacle Head with Braided Sleeve Body and Its Associated Method of Manufacture - A novelty pop-up toy and its associated method of operation. The pop-up toy has a head section that is supported on a spring element, such as a braided sleeve. When the pop-up toy is compressed, the spring element elastically deforms from an uncompressed state to a compressed state. While in the compressed state, the spring element stores energy. If the compression force is suddenly released, the braided sleeve body releases its stored energy and pops back into its uncompressed state. As braided sleeve body returns to its uncompressed state, it rapidly expands, therein providing enough force to propel the entire pop-up toy into the air. | 11-27-2014 |
