A bath tub spa is provided that has a motor housing with a motor for driving a pump. The pump has an input opening and an output opening sealed about the pump such fluid is drawn through said input opening and expelled through the output opening. The spa also has a nozzle removably sealed to said output opening, and a connector for connecting the motor housing to the bath tub such that the input opening is maintained at least partially below a level of fluid and at least a portion of the nozzle is maintained below the level of the fluid. The motor housing is rotatable about a first axis, the output opening is rotatable about a second axis, and the nozzle is rotatable about a third axis.

A hair dryer system includes a hair dryer connectable to a power source and having a power connection, an attachment that is connectable to the power connection and is supplied power from the power source by the power connection. When the hair dryer is connected to the attachment by the power connection, the hair dryer and attachment consume a predetermined amount of power. When the hair dryer is disconnected from the attachment, the hair dryer consumes less power than the predetermined amount of power.

A pivotable vane positioned between lanes of a multi-laned track is actuated by a toy vehicle to obstruct one of the lanes after the vehicle has passed. In a slotless track any pursuing vehicle in an obstructed lane must be diverted to another lane or collide with the obstacle which is designed to throw a colliding vehicle off the track. In a slotted track, the pursuing vehicle in an obstructed lane must wait for the competitor to clear the obstacle.

A hair dryer is provided which reduces static electricity in hair being dried. A point source for electron release, such as a needle, is positioned in a reflector in the air stream of the dryer. The point source is electrically connected to an electron source, such as a piezoelectric crystal, located in the handle of the hair dryer. The piezoelectric crystal is wired to produce an electric charge, the charge being initially a negative electric charge. The crystal is connected to the point source and thus provides electrons to the point source. These enter the air, ionizing air molecules, and the resulting ions are carried to the hair, neutralizing the static charge in the hair. The piezoelectric crystal, a supporting frame, a lever arm, and an arm lever cover are mounted in the dryer handle. The lever arm cover can be pivoted, resulting in the lever arm being moved when the handle is squeezed or released. Release of the lever arm results in it returning to its original position.

A pivotable ramp device for use in connection with track games having toy vehicles. The device includes a base which is selectively coupleable to a position along the track of the track game. The base pivotally supports a ramp at a laterally extending axis elevated above the surface of the track, the axis centrally intersecting the ramp to define two sides of the ramp. A first side of the ramp is the entrance side and a second side of the ramp is the exit side. The ramp is pivotally displaceable between a first position where the end of the entrance side contacts the track for permitting a toy vehicle traveling towards the ramp to ride up the entrance side onto the ramp and a second position where the end of the exit side contacts the track for permitting the toy vehicle thereon to ride down the ramp and back onto the track, or to permit a toy vehicle to pass under the ramp and pivotally displace the ramp out of the path of the vehicle.

A toy vehicle for a racing game and a track for performance on vertical and horizontal surfaces. The vehicle carries an electric motor and draws power from a pair of conductive rails embedded in the track surface. Increased magnetic attraction between the car and the conductive rails is provided locally to enable the vehicle to ride on vertically extending track lengths without impairing horizontal performance. Increased magnetic coupling is also effective in enhancing vehicle performance on curves. Greater holding forces between vehicle and track on vertical surfaces is provided by increased width in the electrically conductive rails embedded in the track surface.
