Water-pistol and animal figure assembly

Abstract

A water-pistol and animal figure assembly in which a pistol whose operating mechanism is concealed in the figure causes water to spit out of the mouth of the figure when the pistol is operated. The pistol includes a stock from which depends a hand grip provided with a trigger, a water reservoir in the form of a cylindrical tank mounted above the stock and an internal pump which draws water from the tank and pumps it into the barrel of the pistol from whose nozzle the water is ejected when the trigger is pulled. The animal figure includes a head having an open mouth and a body having an internal cavity which communicates with the head, and is open at its rear end. The pistol is received within the cavity with its barrel socketed in the head of the figure and its nozzle aligned with the open mouth, the water tank being exposed outside of the body. A player who inserts his hand through the open end of the body and grasps the grip of the pistol then appears to be holding the figure, and when he pulls the trigger, water is ejected from the mouth of the figure who then appears to be spitting. When the supply of water is exhausted it may be replenished by feeding water into the exposed water tank which is provided with a removable stopper.
