Abstract: A party cannon includes a cannon body and an open-top container movably retained within the cannon body by interconnecting biasing elements. The open-top container is structured and disposed for holding candy, toys, or other items that are loosely filled therein and is held in a loaded position against the force of the one or more biasing elements. Operation of a trigger and locking mechanism releases the open-top container in a rapid forward movement towards an open muzzle end of the cannon body causing the items within the container to be launched outwards from the open muzzle end of the cannon body and through the air so that the items land scattered throughout an area of a room or outdoor ground surface. The container can be re-filled for another launch, thereby allowing for ongoing reuse of the party cannon at the same party and at future events.

Abstract: A piñata device includes a main body housing an open-top container that may be filled with candy, toys, or other items. The open-top container is spring loaded using and arrangement of elastomeric bands and a locking mechanism which, when triggered, releases the open-top container, thereby causing the container to immediately accelerate towards an opening on the main body and launch the items outwards of the main body and onto the floor for collecting by the participants. In a preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism is triggered by hitting a target with a ball. After use, the container may be pushed or pulled back into a loaded position for reuse.
