## Abstract

The system includes a foot-generated air pump, a launch hose which extends from the air pump and a plurality of tube launchers in fluid communication with the launch hose, extending outwardly therefrom. Individual toy foam rockets are adapted to fit in a fluid-tight relationship with the launch tubes.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A launch system for air toys, comprising:
an air pump;
a flexible launch hose which extends from the air pump;
at least one launch tube in fluid communication with the launch hose, adapted to receive an air toy; and
at least one air toy, adapted to fit on the launch tube, wherein in operation, pressure on the air pump results in a burst of air moving through the length of the launch hose and into the launch tube, forcing the air toy off of the launch tube and into the air.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the air pump is foot operated.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, including a plurality of launch tubes in fluid communication with the launch hose and a plurality of air toys fitable thereon.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the launch tubes are in the vicinity of the distal end of the launch hose.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the launch tube or tubes are swivelable about the launch hose so as to provide different angles for launching air toys.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the launch tubes have an angle of rotation of approximately 45° to both sides of vertical.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the air toys are foam rockets.
