  • Patent number: 5211596
    Abstract: An air activated amusement device having a hollow body member including a cylindrical side wall, and a front wall and a rear wall at opposite sides thereof, with an elongated tubular member connected to the rear wall, and a ball disposed against the front wall. The user blows into the tubular member so that air is transferred from the tubular member through the body member to an outer surface of the ball, where the air causes the ball to rotate against the front wall without falling away when the front wall is in a vertical position. Preferably, the front wall has a concave wall portion matching the outer surface of the ball so that a portion of the ball is received in the concave wall portion to allow the ball to be freely rotatable against an outer surface of the concave wall portion.
