Abstract
The present invention is directed to a mobile toy assembly capable of ejecting toy subcomponents by air pressure. Preferably the mobile toy assembly has a simulated configuration of a rocket ship with an upper portion being simulated as a fuselage while also being the external surface of a plunger that forms part of a bellows assembly for generating air pressure. The nose section of the rocket ship can be bigurcated to permit the propulsion of a small vehicle member while rocket pods on each of the side wings can support toy rocket projectiles. A control knob on the surface of the fuselage can selectively direct the air pressure to a particular toy subcomponent to be propelled.
Claims16
A mobile toy assembly comprising;
- a small vehicle member;
- a body member configured to simulate a rocket ship and having a nose section of such a dimension to house the small vehicle member and capable of opening to provide an access for insertion and removal of the small vehicle member;
- at least one projectile member removably attached to the body member;
- means for generating an air pressure;
- conduit means connected to at least the nose section and the projectile member, and
- means for selectively directing the air pressure to one of the projectile members and the small vehicle positioned in the nose section to propel the same away from the body member.
A toy assembly for propelling secondary toy components comprising;
- a body member;
- a plurality of secondary toy components;
- mounting means for detachably retaining the toy component members to the body member;
- means for generating an air pressure includes a bellows member mounted on the body member, the bellows member further having a storage compartment with a movable lid mounted on one side, the exterior of the lid simulating a cockpit, and
- conduit means connected to the means for generating an air pressure and to each of the removably mounted toy component members including a switch assembly for selectively directing the air pressure to at least one of the toy component members whereby the air pressure can discharge the toy component member from the body member.
