20120003896 | FLYING TOY ABLE TO MOVE BY THE FLAPPING OF WINGS - Disclosed is a flying toy capable of moving by flapping of wings. The flying toy comprises a support structure; an actuation mechanism, for the wings, arranged on the support structure and comprising a crank drive rotated by a means providing the driving force; and two flexible wings arranged symmetrically with respect to the vertical plane of symmetry of the toy and connected, at the wing bases, to the actuation mechanism, the aforementioned wing bases being mounted oscillating about axes arranged on both sides of the vertical plane of symmetry of the toy. A controller receives a control signal indicating a left turn, increases the tension on the right wing and reduces it on the left wing and, for a right turn, the opposite action is performed. | 01-05-2012 |

20140073216 | FLYING TOY CONFIGURED TO MOVE BY WING FLAPPING - A flying toy capable of moving by flapping of wings includes an actuation mechanism, for the wings, comprising a crank drive rotated by a means providing the driving force, two flexible wings arranged symmetrically with respect to the vertical plane of symmetry of the toy and connected, at the wing bases, to the actuation mechanism. The wing bases are mounted oscillating about axes arranged on both sides of the vertical plane of symmetry of the toy. The toy includes a control means, that receives a control signal indicating a left turn, increases the tension on the right wing and reduces it on the left wing. For a right turn, the opposite action is performed. | 03-13-2014 |

20140342632 | Hovering Toy Figure - A remote controlled hovering toy figure having a propulsion system, a control system, a winged body, and a wing actuation assembly. The winged body is mounted to the propulsion system, which is controlled by the control system. The wing actuation assembly is mounted to the winged body, and the wing actuation assembly is powered by the control system. The wing actuation assembly drives the wings in an oscillating flapping motion. The wings comprise apertures permitting air to pass through the wing, thus reducing the aerodynamic effect of the flapping motion. In this manner, the wings produce a softened “bouncing” flight action, thus creating a realistic flight motion. In another embodiment, the propulsion system comprises one or more rotors in a coaxial arrangement, and a rotor mast housing in the shape of a rider riding the hovering toy figure. | 11-20-2014 |
20150306513 | Hovering Toy Creature - A hovering toy creature having a propulsion system, a control system, a winged body, and a wing actuation assembly. The winged body is mounted to the propulsion system, which is controlled by the control system. The wing actuation assembly is mounted to the winged body, and the wing actuation assembly is powered by the control system. The wing actuation assembly drives the wings in an oscillating flapping motion. The wings comprise apertures permitting air passage through the wing, thus reducing the aerodynamic effect of the flapping motion. In this manner, the wings produce a “bouncing” flight action, thus creating a realistic flight motion. In another embodiment, the propulsion system comprises one or more rotors in a coaxial arrangement. The hovering toy creature is operated by either a wireless control device or a timer device. | 10-29-2015 |
