20080268746 | CONVERTIBLE TOY TRUCK - A modular toy vehicle design having a universal mating system between the main chassis body and front end of the vehicle and the rear end body portion that is transformable such that multiple rear end body styles will interchangeably mate with one or multiple main chassis body and front end designs and where electrical interfaces can be automatically established between the main chassis body and front end and the rear end body portion 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 main chassis body and front end of a toy vehicle to its rear end body portion. The main chassis body and front end can have what can be referred to as a flatbed portion, where the flat bed can have opposing longitudinally extending substantially upright side edges where each side edge can have a recessed groove or track extending along its length. The rear end body portion can have a cutout creating a forward and a bottom opening sufficiently large to receive the flatbed portion there through. | 10-30-2008 |
20080261488 | WHEEL RIM AND WHEEL HUB MOUNT ASSEMBLY - A quick mount and dismount design and method of installation for a toy rim and tire/wheel assembly comprising a tire/wheel having an outer tire portion and an inner core ring housing inside the outer tire portion, where the inner core ring housing has an interior cylindrical wall, where the interior wall has multiple ring like recesses. The inner core ring housing can be divided by an expansion seam to allow for press fitting the rim on the tire and press fitting the assembly onto the hub. | 10-23-2008 |
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 |
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 |
20080251474 | SHELVING FOR RECEIVING STACKABLE UNITS - A product storage display bin and integral product package comprising a vertically oriented back wall for supporting the product packaging from the rear. The product storage display bin includes a plurality of substantially parallel dividers projecting outward from and orthogonally with respect to the back wall thereby defining a plurality of laterally segregated vertically oriented product display bin channels. The display bin channels can each be open at a top end for receiving through a top feed port and each laterally segregated channel can be closed on a bottom end by a floor board, which laterally extends across the bottom ends of each of the product display bin channels. Each product display bin channel can have a frontal vertically elongated opening for displaying products and each frontal opening can have a frontal opening stop member that extends across the opening to prevent the product from falling forward. | 10-16-2008 |
