Abstract
A pogo stick (100) comprising a frame (102); an elongate member (104) in sprung connection with the frame, for reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame; a liquid container (110) arranged, in use, to contain a liquid; and firing apparatus (108) arranged to utilise the reciprocating motion between the elongate member (104) and the frame (102) to expel the liquid in the liquid container (110) from the pogo stick (100).
Claims19
A water-firing pogo stick comprising:
- a frame;
- a footrest connected to the frame;
- an elongate member in sprung connection with the frame, for reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame, the elongate member comprising a foot arranged to make contact with the ground;
- a liquid container holding water;
- and
- firing apparatus arranged to utilise the reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame that is generated by a user bouncing up and down on the pogo stick to expel the water in the liquid container from the pogo stick.
A pogo stick comprising:
- a frame;
- an elongate member in sprung connection with the frame, for reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame;
- a liquid container arranged, in use, to contain a liquid;
- firing apparatus arranged to utilise the reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame to expel the liquid in the liquid container from the pogo stick;
- and
- a trigger and a valve, and wherein when the trigger is activated, the valve is opened so as to allow the liquid to be expelled from the pogo stick via an outlet.
A pogo stick comprising:
- a frame;
- a footrest connected to the frame;
- an elongate member in sprung connection with the frame, for reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame, the elongate member comprising a foot arranged to make contact with the ground;
- a liquid container arranged, in use, to contain a liquid;
- firing apparatus arranged to utilise the reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame that is generated by a user bouncing up and down on the pogo stick to expel the liquid in the liquid container from the pogo stick;
- and
- a pivotable outlet, such that a direction in which liquid is expelled can be varied.
A pogo stick comprising:
- a frame;
- an elongate member in sprung connection with the frame, for reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame;
- a liquid container arranged, in use, to contain a liquid;
- firing apparatus arranged to utilise the reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame to expel the liquid in the liquid container from the pogo stick;
- and
- electricity generation apparatus arranged to generate electricity from the reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame.
A pogo stick comprising:
- a frame;
- an elongate member in sprung connection with the frame, for reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame;
- a liquid container arranged, in use, to contain a liquid;
- firing apparatus arranged to utilise the reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame to expel the liquid in the liquid container from the pogo stick;
- a plurality of containers of various sizes, the containers being suitable for containing liquid and/or compressible fluid;
- and
- a selection of detachable connectors arranged, in use, to connect one or more of the containers to the pogo stick.
A kit of parts for modifying a pogo stick comprising a frame and an elongate member in sprung connection with the frame, for reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame to have water-firing capabilities, the kit of parts comprising:
- a liquid container arranged, in use, to contain a liquid;
- a first connector attachable between the liquid container and the pogo stick so as to secure the liquid container to the pogo stick;
- and
- firing apparatus arranged to be coupled to the frame and the elongate member so as to utilise the reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame to expel the liquid in the liquid container from the pogo stick;
- and
- electricity generation and storage apparatus, the electricity generation apparatus being arranged to generate electrical energy from the reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame.
A pogo stick comprising:
- a frame;
- an elongate member in sprung connection with the frame, for reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame;
- electricity-generating apparatus connected to the frame and arranged to utilise reciprocating motion between the elongate member and the frame to generate electricity;
- and
- an energy storage device connected to the frame and arranged to store generated electricity.
