A squirting toy is comprised of a cylindrical housing and a bellows that compresses in response to an outside force in order to expel water therefrom. The ends of the squirting toy may provide buoyancy sufficient for the toy to float in water.
Claims21
A squirting toy, comprising:
- a bellows having a closed end and an opening end, the bellows capable of being compressed;
- a squirting end attached to the opening end of the bellows and having an outlet aperture, the squirting end comprising:
- a tube longitudinally extending from the opening end of the bellows to the outlet aperture in the squirting end which provides fluid communication between the bellows and the outside environment;
- wherein compression of the bellows causes air and/or fluid to be exhaled through the outlet aperture, and
- wherein expansion of the bellows after compression causes air and/or fluid to be inhaled through the tube.

A squirting toy, comprising:
- a bellows having a closed end and an opening end, the bellows capable of being compressed;
- a squirting end attached to the opening end of the bellows and having an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture, the squirting end comprising:
- a first tube extending axially from approximately the opening end of the bellows to the outlet aperture which provides fluid communication between the bellows and the outside environment;
- a second tube extending axially from approximately the opening end of the bellows to the inlet aperture which provides fluid communication between the bellows chamber and the outside environment;
- a securing element attached to the bellows chamber so as to form a substantially airtight seal, the securing element securing the first tube and the second tube;
- a valve connected to the securing element;
- a housing element surrounding the first tube, second tube, securing element and the valve, the first tube, the second tube, the securing element, and the valve are substantially enclosed in the housing unit;
- wherein compression of the bellows causes the valve to be in a substantially closed position such that air and/or fluid is prevented from being exhaled through the second tube, and compression of the bellows causes air and/or fluid to be exhaled through the first tube, and
- wherein expansion of the bellows causes the valve to be in a substantially open position and causes air and/or fluid to be inhaled through at least one of the first tube and second tube.
