Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
50 words
A firing toy comprising: headgear having mounted thereon a simulated weapon system, a visor and means for indicating on the visor a sighting reference; and non-hand actuated means mounted on said headgear for producing simulated firing on a target, said non-hand actuated means comprising a voice activated simulated firing controller.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
50 words
A firing toy comprising: headgear having mounted thereon a simulated weapon system, a visor and means for indicating on the visor a sighting reference; and non-hand actuated means mounted on said headgear for producing simulated firing on a target, said non-hand actuated means comprising a voice activated simulated firing controller.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A toy according to claim 1, and wherein said headgear and said simulated firing means are operative for producing simulated firing on a target which appears on a television screen in an interactive television game.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A toy according to claim 2 and also comprising detector means mounted on said headgear for detecting target "hits".
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
116 words
A non hand-held toy comprising: means for radiation communication between the target and a given location on the toy; means for visual aiming on a target comprising a visual display positioned in a user's instantaneous field of view of a sighting reference produced by projection onto a visor disposed in front of the user; said display comprises a source of visible light for projecting a sighting reference onto the visor so that it appears as if it were located at an infinite distance from the user; and said visor comprises a partially light-reflective coating on a generally transparent, relatively-stiff curved substrate, and said coating is a dichroic coating and said substrate is formed a polycarbonate material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
116 words
A non hand-held toy comprising: means for radiation communication between the target and a given location on the toy; means for visual aiming on a target comprising a visual display positioned in a user's instantaneous field of view of a sighting reference produced by projection onto a visor disposed in front of the user; said display comprises a source of visible light for projecting a sighting reference onto the visor so that it appears as if it were located at an infinite distance from the user; and said visor comprises a partially light-reflective coating on a generally transparent, relatively-stiff curved substrate, and said coating is a dichroic coating and said substrate is formed a polycarbonate material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
A toy according claim 1 and wherein said transparent visor comprises a partially light-reflective curved surface having a pre-determined geometrical configuration, the visible light source being located at a pre-determined position relative to the focus of the curved surface.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
A toy according to claim 5 and wherein the geometrical configuration of said curved surface is a portion of a sphere.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
A toy according to claim 1 and wherein said means for emitting comprising: IR beam radiation communication means; firing activation means for controlling said IR beam emitting means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
21 words
A toy according to claim 7 and wherein said IR beam emitting means is boresighted to the user's line of sight.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
39 words
A toy according to claim 8 and also comprising output means for indicating IR beam impingement, said output means comprising: an IR sensor; and means for providing an output indication that IR light has impinged upon said IR sensor.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
21 words
A toy according to claim 9 and wherein said IR sensor in sensitive to IR beams impinging thereupon from any direction.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
19 words
A toy according to claim 10 and wherein said output means are removably mounted upon said item of headgear.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
14 words
A toy according to claim 11 which is associated with an item of headgear.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
110 words
A non hand-held toy comprising: means for radiation communication between the target and a given location on the toy; a means for visual aiming on a target comprising a visual display positioned in a user's instantaneous field of view of a sighting reference produced by projection onto a visor disposed in front of the user; said display comprises a source of visible light for projecting a sighting reference onto the visor so that it appears as if it were located at an infinite distance from the user; and said visor comprises a partially light-reflective coating on a generally transparent, relatively-stiff curved substrate and said coating is a neutral metallic coating.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
110 words
A non hand-held toy comprising: means for radiation communication between the target and a given location on the toy; a means for visual aiming on a target comprising a visual display positioned in a user's instantaneous field of view of a sighting reference produced by projection onto a visor disposed in front of the user; said display comprises a source of visible light for projecting a sighting reference onto the visor so that it appears as if it were located at an infinite distance from the user; and said visor comprises a partially light-reflective coating on a generally transparent, relatively-stiff curved substrate and said coating is a neutral metallic coating.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
37 words
A non hand-held toy comprising: means for visual aiming on a target; and means for radiation communication between the target and a given location on the toy and wherein said means for radiation communication is voice activated.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
37 words
A non hand-held toy comprising: means for visual aiming on a target; and means for radiation communication between the target and a given location on the toy and wherein said means for radiation communication is voice activated.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
45 words
