A toy sword is disclosed which more accurately replicates the functionality and appearance of fictional light sabers. The sword uses a plurality of telescoping tubes which are fully retractable into the hilt of the sword, and a spring movable between extended and active positions. The spring works in conjunction with a projectile which upon release launches with a smallest diameter tube of the plurality of telescoping tubes and advances same distally away from the hilt. The tubes are telescoping...

Novel (2-methyl-3-chloropropyl)-cyclohexyl-dialkoxysilanes are prepared by reacting a (2-methyl-3-chloropropyl)-cyclohexyldichlorosilane with a corresponding alcohol. The novel compounds are useful for the modification of silicones.

A dual functioning system for enabling a user to selectively monitor and entertain a subject comprises an entertainment system and a surveillance system. The entertainment system comprises a visual display, signal-delivering circuitry, signal-inputting hardware, and an extendable arm assembly. The arm assembly selectively positions the visual display for viewing by a target subject. The signal-inputting hardware enables the user to output stimuli upon the visual display via the signal-delivering...

A doll including a body and appendages, a plurality of light positioned to light on portions of the doll, apparatus positioned within the doll for projecting an image to focus at a point outside of the doll, and apparatus for causing the lights to light in a predetermined sequence and the image to be projected from the doll.

The subject invention system relates to an electronically controlled doll eye and in particular, relates to a simulated doll eye having a screen portion, a transparent film portion, and a reflector as well as a light emitter portion. The light emitter portion emits light and projects an image formed on the transparent film portion onto the screen portion. By allowing variation in the light emitting direction, the image will be displayed at different positions on the screen and provides for doll ...

This invention relates to an electronic eyeball of doll and in particular to one comprises at least a transparent hemisphere shaped conical connex lens; a non-transparent but diaphaneity screen plate, two non-transparent, non-diaphaneity disc, a transparent film plate and a light source. The screen plate has a hole at its center attached with a color paper. The two discs also have a hole for light emitted from the light source passing through. The film plate also has a hole at its center which a...

A bob toy device has a male disk, a female disk, a hollow bobbin disposed between the male disk and the female disk, a first cover disposed on the male disk, a generally T-shaped block disposed in the female disk, a second cover disposed on the female disk, and a shaft passing through the first cover, the male disk, the hollow bobbin, the female disk, the generally T-shaped block, and the second cover.

A lens-fitted film unit comprises photographic mechanism provided with a taking lens, a shutter device and an aperture. The lens-fitted film unit has been loaded with an unexposed photographic film. The shutter device and the photographic film satisfying the conditional formula: wherein T represents a shutter speed and S represents an ISO speed.

A pet toy and exerciser which produces an automatically movable, outwardly projected laser beam. The function thereof is to provide virtual "prey" for the stimulation and exercise of an animal. The device, which does not include a conventional motor, is small (e.g., can be handheld), lightweight, battery operated and silent, and has an extremely long potential cycle life. Electrically energized nitinol wires deflect a visible laser module to produce a virtual laser light target moved through thr...

An illuminatable translucent disc that spins and flies when thrown including chemiluminescent receiving clips that extend radially across the disc so when the disc spins in darkness, the entire disc appears illuminated. The central disc portion has a smooth lower surface to not only improve aerodynamics but also to enhance finger spinning.
