  • Patent number: 5598950
    Abstract: A water toy that ejects a stream of water under pressure and in one embodiment is particularly suited to serve as a water-sword toy and in another embodiment to serve as a pump-action water gun toy is disclosed. In both embodiments, the water toy includes a wide mouth reservoir that accepts ordinarily available ice cubes which cooperate with water so that chilled water is emitted, under pressure, which may have some soothing benefits, especially during hot summer conditions. The water-sword toy not only emits water upon contact of its tip by an object, but also has provisions for emitting water out of its tip without contacting any object. The pump-action water gun toy has provisions to provide for a straight or spread water trajectory so as to simulate a rifle-water toy or a shotgun-water toy.

  • Patent number: 5538456
    Abstract: A water toy has the shape of an aerial bomb or rocket with generally bulbous, resiliently flexible body and a removable tail member with fins, The water toy includes a resilient shell having a mouth and an internal pointed member facing the mouth. A balloon has a mouth with a lip that fits around and engages the mouth of the shell with the balloon body in the shell. The two mouths are sufficiently large to receive ice cubes. A cover member is fitted over and releasably engages the mouth of the shell sufficiently snugly to seal the mouth of the balloon on the mouth of the shell. The cover member has a recess with a one-way check valve to permit the balloon, which is sealed between the cover member and shell, to be filled with water. The tail member is received in the recess and releasably engages the cover member. Dispersion passageways extend from the inner through the outer surfaces of the shell.

  • Patent number: 4448413
    Abstract: An amusement game device includes a labyrinth structure and a pair of elongated resiliently flexible substantially coextensive strips which are interconnected at one end thereof. The device is operable to effect the selective independent longitudinal advancement and retraction of each of the strips to cause the interconnected ends thereof to be selectively turned and thereby guided through the labyrinth structure. Game play is effected by advancing the strips through the labyrinth structure to engage and manipulate or retrieve game elements positioned therein through the use of a magnet or the like attached to the interconnected strip ends.
