Abstract
A circumferential trough provides a water carrying channel, and has at least one water jet in the trough to which a supply of water under pressure is connected to produce a flow of water in the trough into which floating objects may be placed.
Claims13
A water track toy comprising:
- a trough member providing a continuous elongated water carrying channel, one elongeted portion is said channel being formed of an envelope of thin plastic material, said envelope comprises a closed tubular portion extending the length of the channel;
- means to direct a supply of water pressure into said trough to produce flow of water in said trough into which floating object may be placed;
- and
- means of connecting water under pressure to expand said envelope to form a structural portion to at least in part support said trough portion.

A water track toy according to claim 7 including
- at least one jet member supported to said trough, the jet member having an inlet end and an outlet end, the outlet end being within said trough and wherein said means of directing of supply of water under pressure to said troughs includes connecting such supply water at least in part to the inlet end of said jet member.
A water track toy comprising:
- a trough member providing a continuous elongated water carrying channel;
- a water carrying envelope contiguous to at least a substantial portion of said water carrying channel, the envelope being separated from said channel by a common wall, said envelope comprises a closed tubular portion extending the length of the channel;
- means of connecting a source of water under pressure to said water carrying envelope to expand said envelope to form a structural portion to at least in part support said water carrying channel;
- at least one directionally controllable jet member in said common wall for directing the flow of water from said envelope into said channel.

A water track comprising:
- a children's swimming pool in the form of a vessel having a bottom and circumferential sidewalls extending upwardly therefrom, the sidewalls having an upper edge;
- a circumferential trough member providing a continuous elongated water carrying channel supported to said vessel sidewalls upper edge whereby the trough forms a continuous water carrying channel around said vessel upper edge;
- and said trough member supported by a continuous closed tubular envelope extending beneath the trough along its length;
- means to direct water under pressure into said envelope thence through to the trough to produce a flow of water in said trough into which floating objects may be placed.
