Abstract: A pressurized water toy providing a pressure actuated pulsator for shooting water in consecutive pulses. The pressure actuated pulsator includes expansible inlet and outlet tubing, a reservoir for the temporary retention of water, and a sphere-shaped obturator for temporarily blocking the flow of water through the outlet tubing. Flow of pressurized water into the expansible tubing expands and elongates the tubing and forces a seal to be formed by biasing the sphere-shaped obturator against a first end of the outlet tubing compressing a spring. A buildup of pressure behind the obturator causes the expansible tubing to expand and permit passage of the pressurized water around the obturator and into and through the nozzle. When the pressure behind the obturator drops below a certain level, the obturator again blocks the orifice into the outlet tubing causing a buildup of pressure there behind and the cycling of pulse of water flow continues.

The pressure of the gas which is introduced is adjustable at 14 and baffles 15 can provide turbulence in the beverage during dispensing to promote the dissolution of the introduced gas therein.The facility to introduce the gas or gases permits the beverage in the bag 1 to have a low content of carbon dioxide so that the bag collapses under atmospheric pressure while the beverage as dispensed is additionally gasified for the formation of a froth or head.

Abstract: A water toy has a cylindrical deflector mounted on top of an upright hollow pipe that is rotatable about a vertical axis. Pressurized water introduced into the pipe is ejected from a nozzle fluidly interconnected with the pipe wupwardly onto the deflector along a plane which is offset from the deflector axis. The stream of water from the nozzle causes the deflector to rotate which in turn causes water to be thrown off of the periphery of the deflector into an umbrella pattern. If the nozzle has a concentrated spray pattern the umbrella spray is thin and covers a relatively large diameter, and if the nozzle has a fan-shaped spray pattern the umbrella spray is thicker and covers a relatively smaller diameter.

Abstract: An aromatic decorative figure or other object formed of foam plastic material having dispersed throughout its cellular structure a relatively large amount of a volatile liquid fragrance. When the figure is exposed to the atmosphere, it continuously exudes the fragrance for a prolonged period, in the course of which the figure proceeds to shrink as a result of liquid loss, thereby indicating the approaching exhaustion of the fragrance. In one embodiment, the figure is created in situ by injecting a charge of a foam-forming mixture having the liquid fragrance dispersed therein into the cavity of a blister pack whose transparent blister is configured to assume the contours of the desired figure. The injected mixture expands within the cavity to form a figure which conforms to the contours of the blister and is cured therein. The resultant foam-plastic figure is effectively sealed within the pack to prevent the escape of fragrance, the pack also serving to display and protect the figure.
