A toy vehicle includes a central housing having first and second oppositely disposed sides. A first wheel is rotatably mounted on the first side of the housing, and a second wheel is rotatably mounted on the second side of the housing. Each of the first and second wheels has a central hub and a plurality of individual vanes rotatably attached to the hub. Each hub has a center disposed along a first axis of rotation. Each vane is rotatable about a second vane axis extending transversely with respect to the first axis. An end of each vane distal to the hub forms a circumferential surface portion of one of the first and second wheels.

A rotating toy may then include a hub having a central axis and a lower portion; a plurality of counter rotating blades extending outwardly from the lower portion of the hub, the plurality of counter rotating blades having a tip connected to an outer ring; a single means for rotating the hub and blades sufficiently quickly to generate a major portion of the lift generated by the aircraft through the single rotating means; and the hub having an upper portion above the plurality of counter rotating blades and above the single rotating means such that the aircraft includes a center of gravity above a bottom portion defined by the outer ring to improve self stabilization of the toy. In furtherance thereto the single rotating means may be secured on the central axis and positioned below the counter rotating blades.

A toy vehicle comprises a lift mechanism which allows the toy vehicle to be lifted from a supporting surface in a lifting motion. The lift mechanism includes a rotary member which engages a lifting lever hingedly attached to a chassis of the toy vehicle. In operation, the rotary member is abruptly moved by a biasing member into engagement with the lifting lever. The rotary member moves the lifting lever into an extended position, causing the lifting lever to engage the supporting surface, to lift the toy. The toy vehicle includes features to help permit operation of the lift mechanism only when the toy vehicle is in a proper operational condition.

A running device (1) for transmitting a power from a power source (3L, 3R) to an axle (8) through a power transmitting mechanism (4L, 4R) to rotate a wheel (5L, 5R) which is connected to the axle (8), wherein the wheel includes a power limiting mechanism (9, 10) to limit a torque transmitted between the wheel (5L, 5R) and the axle (8).

A folding linkage is hereby disclosed that is comprised of four links, each link having a bevel gear on its end, where each link is in geared contact with a neighboring link, such that both links are held together by a hub element that is small relative to the two links. An alternate embodiment of the invention has links that have a spur gear on each end, whereby each gear end is engaged with a central rack (linear gear).

A radio controlled (RC) aircraft includes a receiver that is coupled to receive an RF signal from a remote control device, the RF signal containing command data in accordance with a first coordinate system, wherein the first coordinate system is from a perspective of the remote control device. A motion sensing module generates motion data based on the motion of the RC aircraft. A processing module transforms the command data into control data in accordance with a second coordinate system, wherein the second coordinate system is from a perspective of the RC aircraft. A plurality of control devices control the motion of the RC aircraft based on the control data. In an embodiment, a remote control device commands the RC helicopter to substantially a hovering state when no force is applied to each of a plurality of spring-loaded interface devices.

The liquid crystal display device of the invention includes: a liquid crystal layer taking on a roughly vertically aligned state in the black display state; first and second polarizing plates placed to face each other so that the transmission axes are orthogonal to each other; at least one first phase plate placed between the liquid crystal layer and the first polarizing plate and / or the second polarizing plate; at least one second phase plate placed between the first phase plate and the first or second polarizing plate whichever is farther from the first phase plate; and an illuminator for illuminating the liquid crystal layer with light via the first or second polarizing plate. The first phase plate has biaxial optical anisotropy and has functions of compensating part of thickness-direction retardation of the liquid crystal layer in the black display state and suppressing light leakage caused by deviation of the transmission axes of the first and second polarizing plates from the mutual orthogonal relationship in a tilted viewing angle direction. The second phase plate has negative uniaxial optical anisotropy and has a function of compensating the thickness-direction retardation of the liquid crystal layer in the black display state in cooperation with the first phase plate.

A bubble machine having a housing, a bubble generator positioned adjacent the front opening of the housing, a fan positioned inside the housing, and a motor positioned inside the housing and operatively coupled to the fan and the bubble generator. Actuation of the motor causes the fan and the bubble generator to be simultaneously actuated.

A vehicle headlamp 10 is provided with an upper stage light source unit 20, a middle stage light source unit 40, a lower stage light source unit 60. The upper stage light source unit 20, the middle stage light source unit 40, the lower stage light source unit 60 are provided at a lamp body 14 constituting a lamp member by way of a support member 15, and a light distribution pattern for low beam is formed on a front side of a vehicle by overlapping light from the respective light source units 20, 40, 60. The middle stage light source unit 40 is supported to be able to change the optical axis independently from the other light source units 20, 60.

The invention relates to a transmission device which comprises a first transmission assembly and a second transmission assembly. The second transmission assembly is sheathed on the first transmission assembly, and the surface of the first transmission assembly, which is opposite to the second transmission assembly, is provided with a first magnetic part. The second transmission assembly is provided with a second magnetic part interacted with the first magnetic part, and the first transmission assembly is driven to rotate along with the second transmission assembly by the magnetic force between the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part. When the transmission device is overloaded, i.e. the drag withstood by the second transmission assembly is greater than the torque magnetic force of transmission torque, the first transmission assembly is in an idle rotation state so as to effectively protect a gear or a motor, and thus, the service life of the gear or the motor is prolonged.

A sheet-like probe and a method of producing the probe. In the probe electrode structure bodies do not come out from an insulation film and achieve high durability, and in a burn-in test for a wafer having a large area and for a circuit device having to-be-inspected electrodes with small intervals, positional displacement, caused by temperature variation, between the electrode structure bodies and the to-be-inspected electrode can be reliably prevented for stable connection conditions. The sheet-like probe includes an insulation layer and a contact film provided with electrode structure bodies arranged on the insulation layer to be apart from each other in the surface direction of the insulation layer and penetratingly extend in the thickness direction of the insulation layer. The electrode structure bodies each are composed of a surface electrode section exposed to the front surface of the insulation layer.
