  • Publication number: 20050098577
    Abstract: Embodiments of a water gun are provided, which may include a body, further including a reservoir for holding a fluid, a nozzle for ejecting fluid, and a shield mounted to the body; a pump assembly operable to move fluid from the reservoir to the nozzle, and a hand-operated crank assembly rotatably coupled to the body. Rotation of the crank assembly may operate the pump assembly to eject fluid from the water gun. In some embodiments, the shield is pivotably or foldably mounted to the body and may be retained in one or more selected positions perpendicular or parallel to the body of the water gun, which may allow a user to deflect fluid streams ejected from other water guns. In some embodiments, a plurality of nozzles is provided, each of which may be selectively operated exclusive of the other nozzles or in combination with other nozzles.

  • Patent number: 4823241
    Abstract: A portable lamp unit having adhesive strips for mounting upon the interior surface of a hatch back automobile window. A mercury switch permits the lamp to be lit only when the hatch back lid is open. A solar cell aligned with and receiving sunlight through the window charges the batteries. The lamp housing is swingably mounted and a detent enables the lamp to be retained in one of a number of different orientations to direct light to a selected region, and may be releasably locked in any one of a variety of positions to compensate for various open hatch angles to direct the focussed light rays upon the desired region of the storage space. A switch selectively opens the power loop to prevent unnecessary drainage of the batteries when the hatch back is opened for a long periods of time. A light transmissive adhesive may be utilized to mount the unit upon a window. Alternatively, a frame may be mounted to the window to snap fittingly releasably retain the lamp unit in position upon the hatch back window.
