20100330866 | AIR SHIFTER TOY MODEL - The present invention provides an unconventional and proprietary radio control (RC) or infrared remote control (IR) toy model/airplane which can intentionally shift or change its center of gravity (COG) to different positions along the longitudinal centerline of the aircraft or fuselage. The incremental shifting or moving of the COG from front to rear or vice versa incrementally changes the “angle of attack” of the wing, thereby producing a variable range of viable flight attitudes and resultant terminal velocities (top speeds). Therefore, users can easily select an appropriate speed for the airplane to fly in limited indoor spaces or in larger outdoor areas. Additionally, the COG shifting of the present invention can be applied not only to RC and IR controlled toy models/aircrafts but may also be implemented into real aircrafts including manned and unmanned aircraft for civilian and/or military applications. | 12-30-2010 |
20110177748 | VTOL MODEL AIRCRAFT - A toy model aircraft aims to imitate V-22 Osprey with high emulation by being providing with flight characteristics of V-22 Osprey at a shrunk size of a toy specification. The model aircraft of the invention includes a fuselage, two fixed wings extended outwards from two sides of the fuselage and a tail wing at the tail of the fuselage. Each fixed wing includes a propeller engine installed at a distal end thereof and a rotor. The two rotors of the propeller engines rotating in opposite directions, and the propeller engines are coupled to form an integrated body through a rotary axle mechanism connecting to the wings. The fuselage holds a rotary axle driving means to drive the rotary axle mechanism to rotate and the propeller engines at two ends of the rotary axle mechanism are rotated concurrently between the vertical direction and horizontal direction. | 07-21-2011 |
20110201246 | GROUND EFFECT MODEL - This present invention provides an unconventional and proprietary flying “ground effect vehicle” or model. This vehicle features thrust propellers that generate airflow. The airflow is directed to the bottom of vehicle causing it to rise completely off the ground surface and as the airflow increases it is directed rearward so as to achieve and sustain forward “ground effect” flight. This type of flight effect occurs near the ground surface as the vehicle flies on a cushion of air that is generated between the ground surface and underside of the vehicle body with or without auxiliary horizontal stabilizers. | 08-18-2011 |
20120302126 | DYNAMO POWERED TOY - A toy is provided that has a dynamo for converting manual movement into an electrical charge for the dynamo located within a housing. A miniature vehicle is induced to locomote through receipt of the electrical charge. A dock is provided for selectively creating an electrical coupling of the vehicle to the dynamo to transfer the electrical charge and decoupling to allow the vehicle to locomote. A charge storage device and an electrical motor in the vehicle allow for prolonged vehicle locomotion separate from the charge transfer by the dynamo. A toy is also provided that has a dynamo for converting manual movement into an electrical charge, the dynamo located within a housing. The dynamo transfers an electrical charge to a wheeled miniature vehicle through an electrically conductive circuit about which the vehicle travels. Additional amusement functions of LED light output or speaker auditory output are optionally provided. | 11-29-2012 |
20130084766 | RADIO FREQUENCY CONTROLLED AIRCRAFT - A radio-controlled model airplane, including: a fuselage; first and second wings connected to the fuselage; and a control system including: a battery; a receiver powered by the battery and arranged to receive radio frequency signals; and a computer powered by the battery, electrically connected to the receiver, and arranged to transmit control signals in response to the received radio frequency signals. The airplane also includes a first motor powered by the battery and arranged to receive the transmitted control signals to rotate a propeller; and a single flexible wire: passing through an opening in a distal end of the first wing; with a first end fixed to a point at or near a junction of the first wing and the fuselage; and with a second end for connection to a point outside of the model airplane. | 04-04-2013 |
20130196566 | Tri-Motor Toy Aircraft - A remote controlled tri-motor toy aircraft is provided. The tri-motor toy aircraft has two wing propellers and a tail propeller. Each propeller is controlled by a separate motor. The wing propellers provide thrust on the opposite side of the center of gravity of the toy aircraft to the thrust provided by the tail propeller, thus allowing the flight direction of the toy aircraft to be controlled by the relative thrusts of the three motors. | 08-01-2013 |
20130252502 | Air swimming toy with driving device - An air swimming toy includes a toy body, a driving device including an air propeller supported at a bottom side of the toy body for creating an air dynamic underneath the toy body, and a remote controller remotely controlling the driving device to operate the air propeller, wherein the air propeller is activated to rotate in order to control an altitude of the toy body via the air dynamic. In particular, when a controllable air pressure underneath the toy body is lesser than a surrounding air pressure, the toy body is elevated in the air, and when the controllable air pressure is higher than the surrounding air pressure, the toy body is dropped down in the air. | 09-26-2013 |
20130260636 | Flying Toy Figure - A remote controlled flying toy figure has a thrust-powered, weight shifting rudder head. The flying toy figure comprises a head, a body, a propulsion system, and a control system. The head is attached to the body by a flexible support member, making the head securely fixed in flexible relation to the body, thus permitting a yawing motion of the head relative to the body. The propulsion system comprises two independently operable motorized propellers, each of which is attached to opposite ends of a steering bar. The steering bar and head form an integral steering unit. Increasing the thrust from one of the propellers causes the figure to turn in the opposite direction. This increased thrust causes the steering bar to yaw, which moves the center of gravity of the head to the opposite side of the center line of the body, which causes the figure to bank towards the turn. | 10-03-2013 |
20130288559 | Flying Toy Figure - A remote controlled flying toy figure has a thrust-powered, weight shifting rudder head. The flying toy figure comprises a head, a body, a propulsion system, and a control system. The head is attached to the body by a flexible support member, making the head securely fixed in flexible relation to the body, thus permitting a yawing motion of the head relative to the body. | 10-31-2013 |

The toy assembly may further include a plurality of frame segments secured to the housing which may define an exo-skeletal frame. The exo-skeletal frame may define a region about the propeller. | 04-14-2016 |
