US Classification:

D14320, D14356

US Patent:

6406349, Jun 18, 2002

Filed:

Jul 28, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/627614

Inventors:

Caleb Chung - Boise ID

Assignee:

ToyInnovation, Inc. - Redondo Beach CA

International Classification:

A63H 120

US Classification:

446235, 446233, 446247, 446266

Abstract:

A gyroscopic toy is provided having a shaft to which is coupled a flywheel. A drive gear is used to spin the shaft and flywheel for spinning the toy. A pinion gear is rotated to impart spin energy to the shaft and flywheel and thus to the toy. A gearing mechanism couples the drive gear to the pinion gear when the pinion gear is rotated in a first direction and decouples from the drive gear when the pinion gear is rotated in a second opposite direction. A transmission may be provided allowing for at least two different gearing sets to be selectively coupled to the drive gear when the pinion gear is rotated in the first direction.

International Classification:

A63H 328

US Classification:

446301, 446298, 446353, 446337, 446330

Abstract:

A very compact interactive toy is provided that provides highly life-like and intelligent seeming interaction with the user thereof. The toy can take the form of a small animal-like creature having a variety of moving body parts that have very precisely controlled and coordinated movements thereof so as to provide the toy with life-like mannerisms. The toy utilizes sensors for detecting sensory inputs which dictate the movements of the body parts in response to the sensed inputs. The sensors also allow several of the toys to interact with each other. The body parts are driven for movement by a single motor which is relatively small in terms of its power requirements given the large number of different movements that it powers. In addition, the motor is reversible so that the body parts can be moved in a non-cyclic life-like manner. For space conservation, a cam operating mechanism is provided that is very compact with the cam mechanisms for the parts all operated off of a single small control shaft of the cam operating mechanism, e. g.

Assignee:

Toyinnovation, Inc. - Redondo Beach CA

International Classification:

A63H 320

US Classification:

446330

Abstract:

Realistic looking and behaving life-like toys are provided. The toys include multiple moving parts. To achieve multiple movements geneva gear assemblies are incorporated in the toys wherein each assembly is driven by a single motor and can move multiple parts simultaneously or individually.

Assignee:

Nextsport - Berkeley CA

International Classification:

B62M 112

US Classification:

280 87042, 28012411

Abstract:

A riding device includes a deck upon which a rider can be supported. Front and rear road wheels provide independent steering upon tilting or banking of the deck in use. A steering column is connected to the front wheels to provided additional steering control. The steering column tilts in unison with the deck and provides no steering effect upon deck pivoting alone.
