Each water pump includes a cylinder having a first end and a second end, a piston movable along the cylinder in sealing relation to the cylinder walls, and a piston rod coupled to the piston and extending out of the first end of the cylinder. An intake conduit for each water pump leads from the water reservoir to the second end of the cylinder and has a one-way intake valve that permits water to be drawn into the cylinder on an intake stroke of the piston. A discharge conduit for each water pump leads from the second end of the cylinder and includes a one-way discharge valve that permits water to be discharged from the cylinder on a delivery stroke of the piston. A nozzle is connected to each discharge conduit.

Abstract: A combined water pistol and target for simulated combat games. A target mountable on the water pistol provides a quantitative measure of how many times and how accurately it has been hit during the course of a simulated battle to help determine the winner. Water striking the target runs down into a "lifeline" tube which can determine when a player has been "killed" during simulated combat. A float ball aids in visualizing the accumulated score. One version has a planar target which registers hits which strike the front surface of the target. A second version has a bull's-eye with concentric circles so that more-accurate hits score higher. A third version is a three dimensional target which registers hits on the target from a full 360 degrees around the player. A fourth version has a 180 degree three dimensional target. The lifeline may include a series of tubes aligned side by side. When the first tube fills, the water starts to cascade into the second tube and so on.

Abstract: The present invention is a nozzle gun assembly that is axially mounted toward the front of the water gun barrel of a conventional pump-action-type water gun. The nozzle assembly has a nozzle head with a control wheel section. The squirting of the water gun simultaneously causes the actuating member to act against the control wheel, thereby turning the nozzle head on its axis. In this manner, as water is pumped through the nozzle head and out the nozzle, the nozzle head is accordingly rotated so that the stream emitted from the water gun travels an angular path, eg. from left to right. The assembly also has means for disconnecting the actuating member from the control wheel so that the water gun can be utilized in a more conventional manner.

Abstract: A water gun has a housing and a cylinder mounted on the housing, with the cylinder being formed with an opening and defining a chamber.

A cocking member is movably mounted on the housing, and the cocking member can be manipulated to move the piston to a load position, wherein the piston is distanced from the opening of the cylinder and water from the reservoir can enter the chamber. Also, a firing mechanism is provided for releasing the piston to permit it to rapidly return to the fired position and thereby emit water from the chamber through the opening in a burst pattern, and to give an audible and tactile indication of water emission.

Abstract: The present invention is a toy water gun which is operated by selectively releasing water from a water reservoir that is pressurized with air. The gun has amanually operated air pump which pressurizes a water reservoir and consequently pressurizes any water therein. The pressurized water has an avenue of release that is regulated by a trigger mechanism. When no force is applied to the trigger, the pressurized water is held at bay with no means of release. When force is applied to the trigger, water is released from the pressurized reservoir and is channeled through a narrow nozzle. The escape of the pressurized water through the narrow nozzle creates a stream of propelled water that lastas as long as the trigger is engaged or until the pressure on the water in the reservoir equals the ambient air pressure. Water is added to the present invention via at least one fill opening on the water reservoir. The reservoir itself is non-detachable from the gun housing.

A hand-operated slide member can be reciprocated by an operator for the water gun, and a rack connected to the slide member drives a gear train connected to a flywheel. The flywheel is connected through a crank wheel to the piston of the piston pump, and as the operator withdraws the slide member to rotate the flywheel, the piston is reciprocated back and forth within the piston chamber of the pump to drive air into the water reservior. The flywheel maintains the reciprocating motion of the piston as the operator slides the slide member forward in preparation for another stroke. In this way, the pumping action is maintained by the flywheel as the operator reciprocates the slide member forward to begin another stroke.

Abstract: A toy water gun has a pump/valve subassembly in which a flange plate is affixed to the outlet end of the cylinder member of an air pump. An integral tubular boss extends from the flange plate externally of the cylinder member outlet, the boss serving as the valve body of a discharge control valve.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a toy water gun which is operated by selectively releasing water from a water reservoir pressurized with air. The present invention has a manually operated pump incorporated into the design. As the pump is cycled, water and air is drawn from a water storage tank. Once drawn, the water and air are forced into a pressure reservoir. As the amount of water and air forced into the pressure reservoir increases, the pressure on the water within the pressure reservoir increases. The pressure of the water and air within the pressure reservoir increases with each cycle of the pump, until the pump can no longer overcome the pressure of the water and air within the pressure tank. The pressurized water and air within the pressure tank has an avenue of release that is regulated by the trigger mechanism of the invention. When no force is applied to the trigger, the pressurized water and air are held at bay with no means of release.
