## Abstract

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a bath vessel that is capable of moving across the water through the production of bubbles. The disclosed bath vessel comprises an interior compartment that is sized and shaped to house an effervescent source that generates a gas upon contact with a fluid, such as water. The vessel further includes a discharge port in connected relationship with the interior compartment. In use, the effervescent source generates a gas (e.g., bubbles) that exit through the discharge port and propel the vessel through the fluid.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A children's toy, comprising:
a body that defines an interior compartment therein;
an opening positioned in the body to provide access to the interior compartment;
a discharge port in fluid communication with the interior compartment;
a replaceable effervescent source positioned within the interior compartment that generates a gas in response to the effervescent source being placed into contact with water,
wherein the toy is configured to propel in a desired direction when placed in water in response to generation of gas from the effervescent source flowing through the discharge port.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The toy of claim 1, wherein the body is at least partially buoyant.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The toy of claim 1, wherein the effervescent source is configured as a solid.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The toy of claim 1, wherein the effervescent source is housed within a porous sachet, wherein the porous sachet is positioned within the interior compartment.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The toy of claim 1, wherein the opening comprises a lid to open and close access to the interior compartment.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The toy of claim 1, wherein the body defines a plurality of discharge ports in fluid communication with the interior compartment.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The toy of claim 1, wherein the discharge port defines an interior passageway that includes a screen.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The toy of claim 1, wherein the effervescent source comprises an alkaline carbonate and an acidic material.

### Claim 9 (depends on 10)

The toy of claim 10, wherein the effervescent source further comprises one or more surfactants, fragrances, pigments, dyes, oils, preservatives, or extracts.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The toy of claim 1, wherein the effervescent source produces carbon dioxide when contacted with the water.
