| 20120001390 | GAME, METHOD OF PLAY, AND STACKABLE MEMBERS SUCH AS CARDS WHICH MAY BE USED FOR A GAME - In an aspect, the invention is directed to a set of game pieces including a character game piece representing a character and a plurality of parameter impact game pieces. Each of the parameter impact game pieces includes a parameter impact indicator. When a parameter impact game piece is stacked on the character game piece the parameter impact indicator provides a graphic representation of the parameter impact carried out by the parameter impact game piece. When another parameter impact game piece is stacked on the first parameter impact game piece a graphic representation of the total parameter impact carried out by both parameter impact game pieces is provided by permitting the parameter impact indicators from both parameter impact game pieces to be visible to the players. In this way, the parameter impact level incurred by the character can be shown to increase incrementally after subsequent parameter impacts. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20110065351 | Transformable Toy Vehicle - A remote controlled transformable toy vehicle that is remotely transformable from a standing position to a flying position, where the toy performs like a helicopter and also to a driving position, where the toy performs like a wheeled vehicle. Transformations are carried out on-the-fly by remote control and the toy vehicle has the ability to maintain proper center of gravity for stable flight, takeoff and landing. Also provided is a remotely controlled toy vehicle that is driven by a rotating blade system so as to both drive over the ground and hover or fly in the air. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20100304578 | Charging Interface for Rechargeable Devices - A novel charging interface for rechargeable devices is disclosed herein. The present charging interface has a male plug, formed from circuit board material, which electrically and slidably interconnects with a female socket in at least two orientations. The female socket has electrically conductive biasing means which retain the male plug within the female socket. The charging interface provides electrical contact between the master circuit board of a rechargeable device and a power source. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20090229921 | Mechanical motor for toy planes - An inexpensive apparatus for powering a toy plane including a rubber band motor which is connectable to the plane's propeller and to a winding mechanism, including a gear mechanism which is activated by a handle. As the handle is repeatedly squeezed and released by the user, the motor is wound up. An anti-reversing ratchet is coupled with the motor to prevent unwinding until the user wishes to launch the plane. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090215355 | Acrobatic rotary-wing toy helicopter - A rotary-wing toy helicopter generally comprising a transverse shaft, a plane body fixedly attached to the transverse shaft and a rotor assembly rotatably attached to the transverse shaft. The rotor assembly generally comprises a primary drive connected to a drive shaft for driving at least one set of lifting blades and a secondary drive connected to the transverse shaft for driving rotation of the transverse shaft and the plane body clockwise or counter-clockwise around the axis of transverse shaft. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20080290691 | Lightweight plastic vehicles - A vehicle with a novel vehicle body formed of polyvinylchloride plastic (“PVC”) or similar plastics. Generally, the vehicle body is formed by folding or vacuum forming one or more sheets of PVC into shapes specific to one type of vehicle. The type of vehicle can be any type of vehicle, including planes, cars, trains, tanks, of the like. The vehicle body also incorporates novel structural elements such as curves, folds or troughs that stiffen the PVC and facilitate assembly of the vehicle body. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080265509 | ONLINE RACING SYSTEM USING ELECTRONIC TRADING CARDS - A game system is presented. The system includes a plurality of cards, each card being associated a game feature, and a scanner configured to scan information from the cards. The processor is operable to associate a first card with a first player upon the first player causing the first card to be scanned, associate the first card with a first game feature, display a representation of the first game feature on a first display area associated with the first player, enable the first player to access the first game feature, reassociate the first card with a second player upon the second player causing the first card to be scanned, display the representation of the first game feature on a second display area associated with the second player and enable the second player to access the first game feature. | 10-30-2008 |
