Abstract
A fluid throwing apparatus with a base that is made from substantially fluid-tight flexible material. A handle is attached to the base, at least a portion of the handle being flexibility, which when attached to the base causes the base to form into a cup or scoop shape when it is at least partially filled with a fluid. When thrown, the fluid is carried by the base and then released. In another embodiment the edge/rim of the base could be attached to a player and, when thrown, the attachment would pull back on an edge/rim of the base to release the fluid.
Claims17
A toy apparatus for throwing fluid, the apparatus comprising:
- a base made from substantially fluid-tight, flexible material so as to be configured to contain a liquid in the base, the base having an outer periphery;
- and
- a throwing handle configured to attach to or near the periphery of the base to provide support for the base when containing a fluid, the throwing handle being flexible and includes a portion that is mesh netting that is attached to at least a portion of the periphery of the base.
A toy apparatus for throwing liquid, the apparatus comprising:
- a base a least a portion of which is made from substantially fluid-tight, flexible material capable of holding a liquid, the base having an outer periphery;
- and
- a throwing handle attached to or near the periphery of the base to provide support for the base when containing a liquid, the throwing handle being flexible and includes a portion that is mesh netting that is attached to at least a portion of the periphery of the base, the handle configured to permit a user to manipulate the base to capture and hold a liquid;
- wherein the base is configured to form into a fluid-tight cup or scoop shape when it is at least partially filled with a liquid.
A method of throwing fluid as part of a game, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a toy apparatus for throwing liquid, the apparatus comprising:
- a base a least a portion of which is made from substantially fluid-tight, flexible material capable of holding a liquid, the base having an outer periphery;
- and
- a throwing handle attached to or near the periphery of the base to provide support for the base when containing a liquid, at least a portion of the throwing handle being flexible, the handle configured to permit a user to manipulate the base to capture and hold a liquid;
- wherein the base is configured to form into a cup or scoop shape when it is at least partially filled with a liquid;
- holding the handle and placing the base in a fluid reservoir;
- causing fluid to flow onto the base;
- lifting the handle so as to cause the base to form a scoop containing an amount of fluid;
- swinging the base with the fluid inside the scoop and releasing the handle;
- and
- causing the fluid to dispense from the base while in flight.
