Abstract: A water gun or toy water gun for dispensing liquid is disclosed. The gun includes at least one liquid dispensing outlet and at least one chamber housing that defines at least one chamber for storing liquid to be dispensed through the liquid dispensing outlet. For replenishing with liquid in a fast and convenient manner, the chamber is designed to be substantially uniform in cross section. An opening through which the liquid may be received in the chamber is also substantially the same size as the cross-section of chamber. The gun includes a lid that is pivotally movable between a closed position in which at least a portion of the opening is concealed by the lid and an open position in which the at least a portion of the opening is revealed by the lid.

Abstract: A non-lethal projectile launcher toy that comprises a full-colour, high DPI, printed aggregate coating on an outer shell (101, 301); the decal coating is not limited to flat surfaces, allowing for substantially unrestricted product design, and is substantially undisturbed visual continuity when crossing part lines between discrete parts that make up the outer shell. Methods of producing the decal-coated toy gun using inkjet printing technology are also provided, allowing for high-detail and comprehensive colour range aggregate coatings that may be programmatically controlled to maximise the visual quality of the applied decal.

Abstract: A breakable shell defining an enclosure within which a toy is contained. The breakable shell has a plurality of plastic shell pieces able to self-retain together to define the enclosure. The shell, when dropped from a sufficient height on a solid surface will break apart by the shell pieces all disconnecting from each other thereby revealing the toy.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a plurality of bodies which can be assembled together to form a singular three-dimensional body. The bodies each a cavity within which a child's toy can be received. Each cavity has a cavity opening through which said child's toy can be viewed, accessed and/or withdrawn from the cavity. The cavity opening is obstructed by an adjacent one of the plurality of bodies when the plurality of bodies are in the assembled state.

Abstract: A system and method for simultaneously inflating a plurality of balloons with pressurized gas issuing from a pressurized gas supply, each balloon being releasably or permanently attached to an inflation conduit which serves to duct gas from the gas supply to its respective balloon, and each balloon having an associated valve to control the release of gas from inside the balloon when connected and/or disconnected from its associated balloon.

Abstract: A tethered balloon assembly the balloon, to be inflated via the tether which is to be subsequently closed by a one way valve to keep the balloon inflated and allow additional inflation as desired, controllable by its tether.
