The present invention provides a miniature live-action surfing attraction and associated surf game specifically adapted for use with one or more surf toy action figures. The surf toy action figures are mountable to a surf board appropriately sized and weighted to provide relatively stable or semi-stable surf-riding action upon a sheet flow of water flowing up an inclined ride surface of the reduced scale attraction. Various surf action figures may be set free upon the ride surface, or they may be constrained or partially constrained by wires, strings, magnets or the like, as desired. Alternatively, or in addition, they may be controlled via a remote control, or radio control transmitter, as desired. Thus, a fun and entertaining game is created that provides realistic live-action surfing within a relatively small or confined area.

A thin, firm material base (10) with a slotted tube (20) and attached clip (40) assembly inserted through the base and secured to the base (10) with bolt retainers (30). The bolt retainers (30) keep the tube (20) secure within the base (10). The base (10) is encased in a split cylindrical foam material to provide for support, shape and proper alignment when used in an internal application such as a puppet wrist. In addition a rod with a ground end can be temporarily inserted into the tube (20) and attached clip (40) assembly, providing a temporary, yet secure connection while allowing for rotational movement of the rod (60) within the tube (20). The temporarily secure connection is a result of the friction of the inserted rod (60) coming into contact with the straight side of the clip (40) within the interior diameter of the tube (20). For the temporary secure connection to take place, the rod must be inserted into the tube past the point of engaging the straight side of the clip (40) within the interior diameter of the tube (20). The connection can be disengaged by grasping and pulling the rod (60), out of the tube (20), thus releasing the friction between the clip (40) and the rod (60).

The upper body is provided with an upper locking knob set, and the lower body is internally provided with a lower locking knob set. The wooden doll has the advantages that the structure state of the wooden doll is adjusted through the upper locking knob set and the lower locking knob set, switching between a decoration and a wooden doll product is achieved, and the wooden doll is convenient to process and assemble.

The invention relates to a marionette (1 ) comprising a figure (3) having a number of segments, wherein at least two segments (31, 33, 35, 37) are connected by means of steering strings (41, 43, 45, 47) with a control (2) device and at least two segments are substantially rigid. In order to provide a marionette of improved accuracy of representation of the figure with regard to the real object, that would also feature relatively simple construction and would be easier to operate, a connection between at least one active segment (31, 33, 35, 37), which is connected with the control device (2) by means of the steering string (41, 43, 45, 47) exiting the surface of this segment at the steering point (411, 431, 451, 471), and an adjacent segment comprises a convex contact surface (71, 731, 75) on one of these segments and a connection means (5, 81 ); exiting the surfaces of these segments at the connecting points (51, 521, 522, 531, 532, 55) which are displaceable with regard to each other. Furthermore a centroid (711, 7311, 751) of said convex contact surface (71, 731, 75) is located below the connecting point (51, 531, 55) of the segment comprising this convex contact surface (71, 731, 75), and in the predefined free overhang position of the figure (3) a straight line (312, 3321, 3322, 352) between the connecting point (51, 531, 532, 55) of said active segment (31, 33, 35) and the steering point (411, 431, 451 ) of this segment extends above the gravity centre (311, 331, 351) of this segment.

The invention provides a puppet show performance stage and relates to the field of stage props. The puppet show performance stage comprises a base, grooves are formed in both sides of the lower surface of the base, and universal wheels are arranged in the grooves; fixed boxes are fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the top of the base respectively, a gear baseplate is fixedly mounted onthe lower portion of one side of an inner cavity of each fixed box, lifting columns are arranged in the fixed boxes, and limiting plates are fixedly connected to the ends, in the fixed boxes, of thelifting columns. According to the puppet show performance stage, operation frames can slide on the surface of the base along lower transverse sliding grooves to adjust the distance between the stage and an operator, so that the operator operates more smoothly; spotlight beads can emit light on a background plate and a scene plate through light emitting holes, a stage plate can move up and down along vertical sliding slots and rotate around a rotating shaft at the same time, and convenience is provided for inserting or replacing a prop plate; by forming a background plate hole and a scene platehole, the background plate and the scene plate are placed in order, and flexible replacement of scenes is facilitated.

A male terminal fitting (1) is formed by bending a flat metal plate worked into a specified shape and includes a contact (2), a rectangular tube (4) formed to be wider than the contact (2), and a link (3) between the contact (2) and the rectangular tube (4). The link (3) is not connected with the front edge of the upper surface of the rectangular tube (4) over the entire width. Thus, bending resistance against an external force can be improved by increasing deflectability while holding down bending rigidity.
