Toy water gun actuation mechanism

A toy water gun actuation mechanism for controlling opening of a valve with a valve member wherein the valve member has a closed position and an open position, the water gun actuation mechanism comprising:

• a base,
• a trigger, being movably supported relative to the base and having at least an actuated position and a non-actuated position,
• a coupling member configured to be connected to either or both of the valve member or to a valve member connection rod, wherein the coupling member is movably supported relative to the base at least from a first position to a second position;
• a blocking member with an abutment movably supported relative to the base and relative to the coupling member, the blocking member having a blocking position and a non-blocking position,
• when the blocking member is in the blocking position and when the coupling member is in the first position, the abutment being positioned in a trajectory of the coupling member defined by a movement of the coupling member from the first position into the second position,
• when the blocking member is in a non-blocking position, the abutment is located outside the trajectory being defined by the movement of the coupling member
• a first elastic member is connected to the trigger and to the coupling member, the potential energy being stored by the first elastic member being increased, when the trigger is moved from the non-actuated position towards the actuated position while the coupling member is maintained in the first position by the blocking member,
• the trigger having a pusher dog configured to move and/or release a movement of the blocking member from the blocking position into the non-blocking position when the trigger is moved from the non-actuated position towards the actuated position.
