Deformable toy structure with inverted mouth

A device comprising:

• a projectile, and
• a body formed of resiliently deformable material which defines a main cavity, a portion of said body forming a receptacle which normally extends inwardly into the main cavity and defines a subcavity, said receptacle having a mouth configured to allow the projectile to be located and supported in the subcavity of the receptacle and the receptacle being normally configured to retain and cause an interference fit with the projectile until the body is resiliently deformed, and to be ejected from the subcavity when said body is resiliently deformed, said body forming the receptacle including a hole connecting the subcavity in the receptacle with the main cavity of the body, the hole in the receptacle normally preventing the receptacle from being forced outwardly through the mouth when the body is resiliently deformed, and said projectile including a key integral therewith which is designed to be inserted within and plug the hole in said receptacle to enable said receptacle to be forced outwardly through said mouth when the body is deformed.

A squeezable toy, comprising:

• a projectile to be propelled away from said device;
• a body formed of resiliently deformable material, said body defining a main cavity and having a receptacle with a wall configured to normally receive and support said projectile at least partially within the main cavity, said receptacle including a mouth having a configuration which requires the projectile to be forced through the mouth to frictionally engage the projectile in said receptacle and said receptacle wall being designed to be forced at least partially outward through said mouth when said body is squeezably deformed to eject said projectile outwardly away from and separated from the body.

A device for ejecting a projectile, comprising:

• a projectile to be propelled away from said device;
• a body formed of resiliently deformable material having a first portion defining a main cavity, and a second a portion forming a receptacle with a wall normally extending inwardly into the main cavity and being at least partially enclosed by the first portion to define a subcavity within the main cavity, said receptacle having a mouth normally with a slightly smaller dimension than said projectile to require said projectile to be forced through the mouth to retain said projectile in the subcavity of the receptacle, and said mouth expanding to a slightly larger dimension than said projectile when said body is squeezably deformed to allow said receptacle wall to eject said projectile outwardly away from the body.

A toy, comprising:

• a projectile to be propelled away from said device;
• a body formed of generally resiliently deformable material having a main body portion which defines a main cavity, and a minor body portion which forms a receptacle with a wall normally extending inwardly into the main cavity of the main body portion and being at least partially enclosed by said main body portion, said main body portion having a ball-like configuration and an outer surface with a fanciful configuration, and said receptacle having a mouth configured to frictionally engage said projectile when it is forced into said receptacle and to be located, supported and retained in the receptacle and to be ejected outwardly away from the body of the toy by the receptacle wall when said body is squeezably deformed.
