Abstract
A toy for receiving and shooting a constant stream of water is comprised of a tubular connection port or mounting means, and a hollow foam tube. The hollow foam tube is connected to a return line of a swimming pool circulation system via the tubular connection port, wherein a first end of the connection port is sized to connect to the return line and a second end of the connection port is sized to connect to the proximal end of the hollow foam tube, and wherein water flows from the return line, through the connection port and the channel of the hollow foam tube, and then out of the distal end of the tube when connected, to provide a constant flow of water shooting out of the toy.
Claims20
A toy for shooting a constant stream of water, comprising:
- a) a tubular connection port for connecting to a return line of a swimming pool circulation system, the connection port including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end connects to the return line;
- and
- b) a hollow foam tube comprising a channel extending between a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end connects to the second end of the tubular connection port, the hollow foam tube further comprising a soft material that has buoyancy sufficient to keep the toy afloat in water.
A toy for shooting a constant stream of water, comprising a hollow foam tube including a channel extending between a proximal end and a distal end, the hollow foam tube connected to a return line of a swimming pool circulation system via a tubular mounting means, wherein a first end of the mounting means is sized to connect to the return line and a second end of the mounting means is sized to connect to the proximal end of the hollow foam tube, and wherein water flows from the return line, through the mounting means and the hollow foam tube, and then out of the distal end of the tube when connected, to provide a constant flow of water shooting out of the toy.
A kit for assembling a toy for shooting a constant stream of water, comprising:
- a) a plurality of hollow foam tubes, each hollow foam tube including a channel extending between a proximal end and a distal end, wherein each hollow foam tube is made of a soft material that has a buoyancy sufficient to keep the toy afloat in water;
- and
- b) a plurality of tubular connection ports for connecting to a return line of a swimming pool circulation system, each connection port including a first end for connecting to the return line, and a second end for connecting to the proximal end of one of the plurality of hollow foam tubes.
