5487925 - Ornament/display member - Owned by Link Group International (Ridgefield, CT)

A decorative, action oriented ornament/display system is attained by providing an attention-attracting member which cooperates with a support platform or plate which is removably mounted to any limb or branch of a tree. By employing this construction, an ornament display system is realized which is quickly and easily mounted to a tree, whenever desired, or removed therefrom for display on any other surface. In the preferred embodiment, the ornament/display member incorporates interlock means formed on the support plate for removably affixing the ornament/display member to the support plate whenever desired. Furthermore, the ornament/display member also preferably incorporates a stowable hook or ring member cooperatively associated with the upper portion of the ornament/display member for enabling the ornament/display member to be affixed to a supporting branch or limb independently of the platform. In the preferred embodiment, the ornament/display member is constructed as a bubble blowing member and incorporates circuitry for enabling the ornament/display member to be switchable between three alternate positions, an OFF position, an ON position, and a third position which engages a built-in time delay for continuously cycling between an activated and deactivated mode.

5577723 - Squeezable toy ball

A squeezable toy ball which simulates a human organ such as the intestine, the ball when squeezed and released then generating a gurgling sound similar to that produced by a functioning intestine. The ball comprises a generally spherical outer shell formed of flexible plastic film encasing a hollow inner core. The core is molded of resilient plastic material to simulate the appearance of an intestine and is provided with an orifice which renders the hollow core collapsible. Injected into the core through the orifice is a charge of oil or other viscous liquid. When the ball is squeezed and deformed, oil and air are discharged from the orifice into the confined spaces between the core and shell, and when the ball is then released to recover its normal shape, oil and air are then sucked back into the shell, these actions producing a gurgling sound.

5104699 - Placemat with floating figurine - Owned by Integra Development International (Lemont, IL)

An article of manufacture, comprising a pair of superimposed pliable sheets. The sheets are interconnected along at least their peripheral edges. A liquid-containing chamber is provided at the center of the article, and this chamber is formed with the pair of superimposed, pliable sheets. A generally flat figurine within the chamber floats within the liquid, and a point of the figurine is secured to at least one of the pliable sheets to enable the figurine to float securely within and pivot about in the liquid.

5769682 - Squeezable plaything simulating humanoid figure

A squeezable toy plaything which simulates an organic object, such as a human organ, a body part, or a humanoid figure, which plaything when squeezed and released then generates a gurgling sound. The plaything includes a generally spherical outer shell formed of flexible transparent plastic film encasing a hollow inner core. The core is molded of resilient plastic material whose outer surface is contoured to simulate the appearance of the object, the core being provided with an orifice which renders the hollow core collapsible. Injected into the core through the orifice is a charge of oil or other viscous liquid. When the ball is squeezed and deformed, oil and air are discharged from the orifice into the confined spaces between the core and shell, and when the ball is then released to recover its normal shape, oil and air are then sucked back into the shell, these actions producing a gurgling sound.

7353571 - Fluid filled attachment device - Owned by Forever Green Holdings LLC (Leonia, NJ)
