20080242191 | Plush character having spinning nose elements - A plush toy that has a spinning nose construction. The plush toy includes a plush character form made of a sewn body shell that is filled with soft stuffing. The sewn body shell terminates along open seam edges in a head section. The open seam edges define an opening. A motor is positioned in the head section of the plush character form. The motor is positioned so that the shaft protrudes out of the head section through the opening. To prevent the motor from moving, the open seam edges of the sewn body shell are fastened directly to the motor. A nose structure is provided that is coupled to the motor. The nose structure includes a proboscis and a plurality of elongated elements that radially extend from the proboscis. An array of lights can be attached to at least one of the elongated elements. | 10-02-2008 |

20100159797 | ELECTRONIC CAKE - An electronic cake includes an inner base, an outer base, a driving device, a bottom shell, a rotatable platform, a number of candle-like lamps, a controlling device and a power source. The outer base is loosely sleeved on the inner base forming a predetermined guiding groove there-between. The bottom shell is rotatably received in the inner base by the driving device. The rotatable platform is attached on the bottom shell. The candle-like lamps are slidably attached on the rotatable platform. Each candle-like lamp has a supporting leg extending out from a side wall of the rotatable platform and received in the predetermined guiding groove. The controlling device is positioned in the rotatable platform. The power source is electrically connected to the driving device and the candle-like lamps via the controlling device for supply driving electric power to the driving device and the candle-like lamps. | 06-24-2010 |
20110028065 | Spinning Towel Assembly - A rally towel spins about an axis and is adapted to be hand held for use at sporting events or other gatherings. The towel has the shape of an air foil with a leading edge that is thicker than a trailing edge for improved lift and longer duration of rotation about the axis. The axis may be in the form of a pin that attaches the towel to a grip. The grip may have a shape that coincides with the sporting event or other arena in which the rally towel is used. The rally towel may include lighting and attachment mechanisms for additional advertising. | 02-03-2011 |
20110189921 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR APPLYING A GLOWING TRAIL ONTO A SURFACE - A device and method are provided for applying a glowing trail onto a surface on a playmat of material that glows in the dark, which lasts only for a limited time depending on the type and strength of the light and playmat material. The trail can be generated by a game piece that moves on the playmat, or a game board. | 08-04-2011 |
20120135666 | LIGHT-UP TOY - The invention is a light up toy with two or more lights manipulated by one or more strings to create patterns of light and light shows. The lights have covers to protect the lights from breaking and can protect the user or a bystander from the impact of the lights as well. The toy can be made with battery sections so that a dead battery can be changed and the toy can continue to be used with fresh batteries. | 05-31-2012 |
20130072084 | SPINNING TOY WITH TRIGGER ACTUATED STOP MECHANISM - A perpetual spinning toy is described. The spinning toy includes a body component and a motor housed within the body component. A power source is housed within the body component and electrically connected with the motor. Finally, a spinning wheel is connected with the motor. Thus, when the motor is activated, the motor spins the spinning wheel, thereby causing the toy to spin. The toy also includes an impact trigger and stop mechanism, both of which are connected with the body component The stop mechanism is also operably connected with the impact trigger. The stop mechanism includes a latch that is connected with the impact trigger and a plurality of spring-loaded wings that are pivotally connected with the body component, such that upon impacting the impact trigger, the wings are released from the catch, causing them to swing outward. | 03-21-2013 |
20130225037 | Interactive Synthesizer Hoop Instrument - A hoop containing lights (LEDs or EL wires) that vary output, based on, for example, movement of the user, through the use of electromechanical and electronic sensors and switches is disclosed. Different movements, circuits or programs cause the lights to respond differently to the same signals. The signals generated by the onboard sensors also are sent by radio signal to a receiver and through a computer and modulate volume, pitch, pan and tempo and also create distinct sounds and combinations of sounds. The coherent pattern of sounds and lights coming from the movements of the body creates a synergy of perception. The interactive synthesizer hoop is an instrument that allows one to paint pictures of feelings, and hear sounds associated with the whole range of human movement and can function as an audio-visual-kinesthetic mirror and communication tool. | 08-29-2013 |
20150126094 | CENTRIPETAL WAND SCANNER - The present invention provides the advantage of allowing a user to actively participate in the creation of a sound and light show by utilizing a radial element placed around a central shaft, which defines the axis of rotation for said radial element, and having such radial element connected to light and sound systems. The present embodiment of the invention, which is a handheld spinning toy, relies on the user setting the toy in motion (e.g., rotating the handle in a circular fashion, which causes the radial element to spin around the central shaft) in order to activate the lighting and sound systems contained within the present invention. | 05-07-2015 |
20150367244 | Spinning Toy Assembly - A spinning toy assembly includes a pair of cords each coupled between a pair of rings. The pair of rings is gripped by a user. A plate is positioned on each of the pair of cords. The plate is spun by the user so the pair of cords are twisted around each other. The pair of cords transfers a twisting inertia into the plate so the plate is rapidly spun. A processor is coupled to the plate. A light emitter is coupled to the plate and the processor. A speaker is coupled to the plate and the processor. The speaker and the light emitter is each actuated the plate is spun. A sensor is coupled to the plate and the processor. The sensor detects a rotation of the plate. The sensor actuates the processor when the plate is spun on the pair of strings. | 12-24-2015 |
20160074759 | OMNI SPINNER - A handheld electronic device that can illuminate while certain parts are spinning and is capable of producing visual patterns in space due to unique features associated with spinning action and illumination. | 03-17-2016 |
