Abstract
An amusement device including a cylindrical liquid container which appears to be either filled or empty upon rotation of the container. In one embodiment, a toy tank truck has a rotatable tank portion which includes an outer cylindrical wall and an inner cylindrical wall spaced from the outer wall to define a limited volume of space. A liquid reservoir is mounted on a portion of the outer wall whereby the reservoir may be above the limited volume of space in a fill position and below the limited volume of space in a drain position, upon rotation of the tank. Several reservoirs may be provided and each reservoir can include scoops to facilitate storage of the liquid in the reservoir.

A toy tank truck comprising:
- a support frame,
- a generally cylindrical tank rotatably mounted on said support frame, said tank including an outer cylinder wall and an inner cylinder wall spaced from said outer wall to define a chamber having a limited volume of space, a liquid reservoir on said outer wall rotatably positionable above said chamber in a fill position and below said chamber in a drain position, and an opening in said outer wall for communicating a liquid between said chamber and said reservoir as said tank is rotated.
For use in an amusement device which appears to store and dispense a liquid, a liquid container of generally cylindrical configuration which is rotatably supported on a horizontal axis, said container comprising an outer cylindrical wall and an inner cylindrical wall spaced from said outer wall to define a chamber having a limited volume of space, a liquid reservoir mounted on said outer wall and rotatably positionable above said chamber in a fill position and below said chamber in a drain position, and an opening in said outer cylinder wall for communicating a liquid between said chamber and said reservoir as said liquid container is rotated.
