Abstract
Description
- The present general inventive concept relates generally to a toy egg incubating and hatching system, and particularly, to a toy egg incubating and hatching system including a monster inside the egg.
- Currently, there are no collectible hatchable toys related to 16th century alchemy on the market. Hatching toys, as a category, are typically designed for young girls, eliminating the possibility of use by boys.
- Therefore, there is a need for hatching toys that will appeal to all genders.
- The present general inventive concept provides a toy egg incubating and hatching system including a monster inside the egg.
- Additional features and utilities of the present general inventive concept will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the general inventive concept.
- The foregoing and/or other features and utilities of the present general inventive concept may be achieved by providing an egg incubator system to house a toy egg thereinside, the egg incubator system including a base, including a surface, a turntable disposed on a center of the surface to hold the egg within a divot on the turntable, a motor to cause the turntable to turn or shake, a dome disposed over the base to encase the egg therein, and a toy monster disposed within the egg.
- The toy monster may be extracted from the egg in response to a shell of the egg being cracked and broken to expose the toy monster.
- The egg incubator system may further include a wand having a magnetic tip.
- The magnetic tip may cause movement of the at least one of a head, arms, and legs of the toy monster when the magnetic tip passes over the at least one of the head, arms, and legs of the toy monster.
- The at least one of the head, arms, and legs of the toy monster may be either magnetized or include ball bearings disposed therewithin.
- The egg incubator system may further include at least one light disposed on the surface of the base to selectively illuminate the egg.
- These and/or other features and utilities of the present generally inventive concept will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a box, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept; -
FIG. 2 illustrates an egg, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept; -
FIG. 3 illustrates an egg incubating system, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept; -
FIG. 4 illustrates a monster and a wand, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept; and -
FIG. 5 illustrates a certificate, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept. - Various example embodiments (a.k.a., exemplary embodiments) will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings in which some example embodiments are illustrated. In the figures, the thicknesses of lines, layers and/or regions may be exaggerated for clarity.
- Accordingly, while example embodiments are capable of various modifications and alternative forms, embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the figures and will herein be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intent to limit example embodiments to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, example embodiments are to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the disclosure. Like numbers refer to like/similar elements throughout the detailed description.
- It is understood that when an element is referred to as being “connected” or “coupled” to another element, it can be directly connected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.).
- The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of example embodiments. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes” and/or “including,” when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and/or groups thereof.
- Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which example embodiments belong. It will be further understood that terms, e.g., those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art. However, should the present disclosure give a specific meaning to a term deviating from a meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill, this meaning is to be taken into account in the specific context this definition is given herein.

wand 50 over themonster 40, the magnetized appendages, such as themagnetic head 41, the magneticleft arm 43, the magneticright arm 44, and themagnetic tail 45, may react to themagnetic tip 51 as thewand 50 passes over the respective appendage. In other words,magnetic tip 51 may cause themagnetic head 41, the magneticleft arm 43, the magneticright arm 44, and/or themagnetic tail 45 to move. - Alternatively, the
appendages 41 through 45 may include small ball bearings therewithin instead of being magnetized, so they still react and move to themagnetized tip 51 of thewand 50. -
FIG. 5 illustrates a certificate 60, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept. - The certificate 60 may be a certificate of creation or authenticity, and may include a
barcode 61 to denote which type ofmonster 40 is stored within theegg 20. - The
monster 50 may also be called a “Pet Homunculus.” - The Pet Homunculus provides optional habitats for the creature, allowing for the creation of connecting various habitats and for users to utilize their imagination and enhance their creativity when engaging with the pet. Finally, instructions inside the kit may give a history lesson on 16th century alchemy in comparison to present day genetic manipulation and splicing. The Pet Homunculus is ultimately a great way to promote education while also serving as an entertaining product.
- Although a few embodiments of the present general inventive concept have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the general inventive concept, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
