Molding arrangements and process are disclosed that provide simple yet reliable techniques for making cast product. A mold tray having a cavity of a desired shape for a cast product may be placed on a surface and mold material added to the mold cavity. A cover may be placed on the mold tray covering the mold cavity and pressure may be applied thereto to urge the mold material into the cavity.
A toy race car includes four wheels and a compartment for a marble in a central region of the car. With a marble installed in the car, all four wheels and the marble may roll at the same time as the car is moved. The car may be rolled on a surface or raced on a track. In some embodiments, the car may include lights that may flash as the car is moved.
A toy race car track can be expanded to an unlimited number of lanes via interlocking side-by-side tracks. The toy race car track may be extended in length by adding additional track segments end-to-end. The tracks of the present invention may be useful for racing a toy race car with four wheels and a compartment for a marble in a central region of the car. With a marble installed in the car, all four wheels and the marble may roll at the same time as the car is moved. The car may be rolled on a surface or raced on the track. In some embodiments, the car may include lights that may flash as the car is moved.
A wall repair system includes a balloon that can be inflated within a wall space behind a hole in the wall. The balloon itself, or a backer board attached to the balloon, can provide a surface for placement or build-up of wall repair compound so that the repaired wall has substantially the same thickness of the original wall and so that no tape or patch needs to be placed on top of the wall along any location surrounding the hole. The backer board can have one or more threaded holes therethrough where a threaded rod can be inserted into the threaded holes to contact a wall surface opposite the hole, causing the backer board to stay in place against the back side of the wall having the hole therein, thus blocking all or a part of the hole.

Abstract:
A toy racing car can be propelled via various manners, including, for example, a pull-back recoil mechanism, a remote-control driven battery powered mechanism, or the like. The toy car can include one or more activators that, when activated by an impact against another object, eject the “driver” in the car or a portion thereof, such as a head that extends from the toy car.
A toy car has one or more lights emitting light downward onto a glow in the dark track surface in order to leave temporarily illuminated tracer marks therealong. The lights of the cars can be set to be constantly on, constantly off, blinking on and off or timed, for example. The lights can be in various forms, such as black (ultraviolet) lights, purple lights, white lights, or the like. The glow in the dark track surface can be designed in various manners, provided that the light emitted from the toy car leaves a temporary tracer mark along the track as the car moves.
