International Classification:

A63H 2304

US Classification:

446154, 446156, 446164, 446457

Abstract:

Appl. No.:

11/673593

Inventors:

Steven Derrah - Portsmouth RI, US

International Classification:

A63H 17/25

US Classification:

446288000

Abstract:

A toy skateboarder and toy skate-park are provided that involve the interaction of toy skateboard riders with magnets fastened to the underside of their skateboards. They ride on a miniature skate-park designed to allow a magnet tipped stick to steer the rider around from underneath the skate-park. The magnet tipped stick controls all the action. The riders can be towed around and then flicked off to aim at many different skate-park targets to imitate different skateboard rides.

International Classification:

A63H 13/00

US Classification:

446279

Abstract:

A radio controlled snowboard system having a steerable snowboard and an erect figurine. The erect figurine is pivotally attachable to the steerable snowboard. The steerable snowboard includes a plurality of steering edges and a steering system configured to control the movement of the snowboard by relative weight transitions relative to one of the plurality of steering edges.

Inventors:

Steven J. Derrah - Portsmouth RI, US

International Classification:

A63B 71/00

US Classification:

2731081

Abstract:

A toy action game where magnetic sticks work by maneuvering magnetic vehicles and riders from underneath a theme park constructed with minimal thickness, making the vehicles and riders look like they are moving under their own power. The vehicles and riders can be dragged around slowly and smoothly or can be flicked off a jump or towards a target with tremendous speed and are capable of launching over a hundred scale feet of air then landing and rolling it out. The magnetic sticks and jump plates are the key to the vehicle and rider's speed and accuracy.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Steven John Derrah - Portsmouth RI, US

International Classification:

B63H 21/17
B63H 5/15

US Classification:

440 6

Abstract:

This new art offers an improvement to conventional surfboards as well as any previous motorized jet surfboards. This application includes an electric powered surfboard equipped with drive units that unfold out onto the surfboard's bottom surface to aggressively power it forward. Once a wave is caught the drive units can retract back up into the surfboard's body as the power is shut off by the surfer. Then, instantly the flush fitting glide doors close, allowing the surfboard's bottom to return to a planning surface with no protrusions, except for fins, and no water filled jet tubes left open to detract from the surfboard's critical gliding ability when surfing waves.Also, there's a crowned deck shape that allows thin rail sensitivity for turning performance and a motor battery arrangement that provides mass centralization of weight. All this, combined with several wireless control means define this new fine handling motorized surfboard.

B63H 2500
B63H 4302

US Classification:

446154

Abstract:

A radio controlled surfing toy is provided comprising a multi-jointed, moveable figurine pivotally attached to a jet-propelled surfboard. The surfing toy surfs similar to a real life surfing professional in waves ranging from 3" to 5' in height. The surfing toy is capable of fielding and catching waves on its own and riding a left or right breaking wave into the shore operating on a synchronized 4-way steering system controlling the figurine's body to move from one side of the board to the other and allowing dramatic realism and high performance surf stunts. A balloon recovery system is employed to right the surfboard after a wipe-out in conjunction with a righting mechanisms built-in to the surfboard's design.
