Abstract: A toy sword device and game is disclosed that provides an enhanced user play experience. For example, the sword device may comprise a point sensor and game controller. A user may then play various sword point games managed by the game controller.

Abstract: A toy shield device is disclosed that provides an easy and effective way to catch water balloons. For example, the toy shield device may comprise a flexible first plane and a flexible second plane. Thus, a user may catch a water balloon between the two flexible planes through an opening in the first plane, thereby preventing the balloon from breaking.

Abstract: A water balloon clip that provides a quick, easy, and low-cost means for sealing a balloon orifice. For example, the water balloon clip may comprise a first slit and a second slit and together the slits comprise a substantially Z-like shape. A user may then seal a balloon by inserting the balloon neck in the first slit and then tucking the balloon neck into the second slit.

Abstract: A bag assembly with a connection means for temporarily binding nesting bags to each other and preferably for later additionally acting as a closure means for those same bags. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the assembly is configured such that an adhesive is revealed when a nested bag is removed from the assembly. That same adhesive then provides a closure means for the orifice of the bag.

Abstract: A portable dispenser is adapted to filling water balloons and water pistols. A reservoir is pressurized by a hand pump that draws air in from the atmosphere and forces the air into the reservoir. The pressure in the reservoir forces water down a flexible tube to a trigger mechanism in a water pistol. The trigger mechanism performs three functions: it throttles the water, it acts as relief valve by releasing water if the pressure is greater than a predetermined limit, and it indicates the pressure within the reservoir. When the trigger mechanism is actuated, water flows through the mechanism to a valve that directs the water either to a filling nozzle or to a spraying nozzle. In an alternative embodiment, the pump takes water from a storage chamber within the reservoir and pumps it into a high pressure chamber within the reservoir.
