Abstract
A streamer toy or a performance device, including a handle attached to a cord whose length can be varied and which can be extended or retracted. A weight, such as a ball, may be connected to the cord. The cord may have one or more ribbons or streamers attached to it. A user can perform various movements with the toy or performance device which cause the ribbons or streamers to make various configurations in the air, such as serpents, spiral, throws and catches, boomerangs, and flips. The invention may also include whistles, bells, and/or lights to further enhance the performance.
Description
- The present invention relates to toys or performance devices. More specifically, the invention is directed to toys or performance devices that allow a user to create by manipulative movements, various configurations of the device such as those used in rhythmic gymnastics.
- Various toys or performance devices that use cords and/or ribbons exist, such as U.S. Pat. No. 6,688,941 to Hooten and U.S. Pat. No. 5,890,946 to Bloomfield. Streamers, a common apparatus used in rhythmic gymnastic performances, are also known. However, it is not believed that the prior art provides the streamer, cord, or ribbon with a retraction and/or expansion feature. It would be advantageous to provide such a feature that permits the user to vary the length of the streamer or cord without stopping the movement of the performance. Such a feature would also be advantageous for storing the device as it would limit the amount of cord or streamer that could entangle itself.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a retractable and expandable performance toy or device for use in performances such as rhythmic gymnastics. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a performance toy or device with a weighted assembly attached to the retractable device, providing more speed when using the device and/or to better direct the streamer or cord, allowing more variations of ribbon configurations and/or enhanced flexibility in manipulating the device as compared to prior devices.
- The apparatus of this application may be a children's toy or an improvement to a performance device such as the ribbons used in rhythmic gymnastics.
- The device provides the user with a handle and cord emanating from the top. At the other end of the cord, a weight and/or ribbon assembly may be attached. A ribbon assembly may include ribbons or streamers radiating from the cord. A variety of items may be used as a weight that provide extra visual effects, such as a rubber ball, a colored disc, etc. A whistle or bells may be located on the weight, cord, ribbon, or streamer to provide an audible effect to the performance device.
- In one embodiment, it is preferable to use a ball as a weight. When a ball with attached cord is used, the user can swing the handle and the ball may fly quickly through the air. The user may even choose to strike the ball against a surface which creates extra visual effects with the ribbons and streamers.
- The device may have reeling means located within the handle or on its exterior. This reeling means allows the user to increase or decrease the length of the cord, moving the weight and ribbon assembly closer or further from the handle. This changes the visual displays produced by the device. The reeling means may be automatically or manually activated depending on what type of control the user desires.
- In one embodiment, the reeling means may be a tape spring located inside the handle. The cord may be anchored to the handle. When the user twirls the device, the cord unravels from within the handle. The user may stop the extension of the cord by depressing the tape spring from the exterior of the handle, clamping onto the cord. The user may also automatically reel in the cord by depressing a button communicating with the tape spring.

- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a preferred embodiment of the present invention,performance device 17, may be manufactured for use as a children's toy, or as an improvement to a performance device, such as may be used in rhythmic gymnastics.Device 17 may have ahandle 1 with afirst end 2 a (FIG. 7 ) ofcord 2 inserted withininterior channel 31 ofhandle 1. In this embodiment, means for varying the length ofcord 2 may be located on the exterior ofhandle 1, such that a user may wrap or unwrapcord 2 aroundanchor 5, havingsides radial portion 5 c. Asecond end 2 b (FIGS. 1 and 5 ) ofcord 2 may be attached to at least one weight, such asball 3, and a ribbon assembly that may include radiating ribbons 4 and/or streamers attached to the top of theball 3 using rivet 6 (FIG. 5 ) to provide a radiating effect. A user may manipulate thedevice 17 by holding handle 1 (seeFIG. 4 ) and twirling it around so thatcord 2 floats in the air in a direction proscribed by the movement ofball 3, while the ribbon or streamer assembly 4 creates visual effects in the air. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 , 4, 6, and 7, preferred embodiments of the present invention,cord 2 may include automatic reeling means.Unused cord 2 may be located withinhandle 1 by running throughchannel 31 and wrapping aroundanchor 34 withininterior space 32 ofhandle 1. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , in one preferred embodiment, a user may control the length ofcord 2 bydepressing button 11 located over a spring loaded handle. Whenbutton 11 is pushed itclamps cord 2 and prevents its release. If the user releasesbutton 11, the pressure oncord 2 is released, and upon twirlingcord 2 can further release from coil spring 15 and increase in length. This embodiment may but need not utilize spring-loaded means located in the handle (such as used in a tape measure, for example) for automatically retracting the cord, and for releasing it under force, as will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, if the user pushesbutton 11 without twirling (i.e., without providing an opposing force directed in a radially outward direction along the cord),cord 2, driven by a spring (not shown), will contract back intohandle 1 automatically and wind around anchor (FIG. 7 ). - Referring now to
FIGS. 6 and 7 , a user may control the length ofcord 2 by depressingclamping mechanism 33 a located over a spring-loaded handle. When a user simultaneously twirlsdevice 17, this causescord 2 to be released frominterior space 32 as the momentum ofball 3 and ribbons 4 pull oncord 2 as centrifugal force is generated by the swinging. The user may exert a clamping force onribs 33 with his/her thumb to stop the release ofcord 2 using a spring mechanism as discussed above. When the cord is free of clamping, the cord may be permitted to automatically wind back intohandle 1 and aroundanchor 34 using spring means, not shown. Clamping means 33 a (e.g., a linear piece of plastic or metal) carryingribs 33 may be anchored to the handle bytab 36 to prevent clamping means 33 a from moving relative tocord 2. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , in another embodiment,cord 2 may be affixed to an anchor (not shown) withinhandle 1. Foldable handle 35 may be attached to the exterior ofhandle 1. The user may windfoldable handle 35 to contractcord 2 back withinhandle 1. Foldable handle 35 may lock into place onhandle 1 by folding it in the direction shown by arrow Y so thathandle projection 35 a fits withinrecess 48 on the handle. - Referring again to
FIG. 1 , it is desirable to use acord 2 that will not break with repeated use. A material like nylon may be used. In an alternative embodiment, the cord may be a rubber-band-like material. Such a composition would create a completely different visual effect when the device is moved by the user. Also, a user may desire extra visual effects. In another preferred embodiment (FIG. 1 ),cord 2 may have lights 16 (e.g. LEDs) attached, and/or may be made of or sprayed with glow in the dark attributes, which may add to the visual effects when the device is in use. - Referring to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , in a preferred embodiment the weight of the performance device may be provided by a variety of objects, such asball 3. With a weight, such asball 3 attached tocord 2 and the streamers 4 attached to the cord or weight, the ribbon assembly can achieve speed that is difficult to achieve without the weight, enabling additional configurations to be used within the air. When using the device, the user may swing theball 3 on thecord 2 by thehandle 1, striking and bouncing the ball against a surface. This adds an extra visual and performance feature. In another preferred embodiment, the ball may have a light within it (not shown). - Referring again to
FIG. 6 , in another preferred embodiment, awhistle 13 may be attached tocord 2. In yet another embodiment (not shown),whistle 13 may be the only weight attached tocord 2. And in yet another embodiment not shown, bells may be coupled tocord 2 or ribbons 4. When the device is whirled around in these embodiments, thewhistle 13 or bells (not shown) may add pleasant (or piercing) sound to the visual display provided by the performance device. - Referring again to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , the ribbons or streamers 4 may be attached to each other by arivet 6.Rivet 6 may hold multiple ribbons or streamers 4 to each other. Alternatively, they may be secured to the device by a knot (not shown) incord 2. - Other changes and modifications constituting insubstantial differences from the present invention, such as those expressed here or others left unexpressed but apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and without diminishing its attendant advantages. It is, therefore, intended that such changes and modifications be covered by the following claims.
