Abstract
A combined mixing element and extruding plunger disposed on a rod with at least two distinct sections incorporated into a toy extruder for simply yet uniquely mixing and extruding a formable material through rotation of the same rod. The rod is disposed at the container having first and second ends and including at least first and second rod sections disposed there between. The second rod section is threaded and the toy further includes a plunger disposed at the first end of the rod at least partially within a hollow container including an aperture through a surface of the plunger.
Claims20
A toy, comprising:
- a hollow container including a threaded aperture and an outlet;
- a rod disposed at the container having first and second ends and including at least first and second rod sections disposed there between, the second rod section being threaded;
- a plunger disposed at the first end of the rod at least partially within the hollow container and including an aperture through a surface of the plunger;
- a mixing stick received through the surface of the plunger at the aperture;
- and
- a handle disposed at the second end of the rod;
- wherein the handle advances first and second rod sections through the threaded aperture of the container, rotating the plunger and received mixing stick in an engaging position when the first rod section is in the threaded aperture and maintaining a freedom of movement upon rotation of the rod, and advancing the plunger to an extruding position toward the outlet of the container and sliding the mixing stick to a non-engaging position when the second rod section is in the threaded aperture upon rotation of the rod.
A toy, comprising:
- a hollow container including a threaded aperture and an outlet;
- a partially threaded rod disposed at the container having first and second ends and including at least a first non threaded section and a second threaded section disposed there between;
- a plunger disposed at the first end of the rod at least partially within the container and including an aperture through a surface of the plunger;
- a mixing stick received through the surface of the plunger at the aperture;
- and
- a handle disposed at the second end of the rod;
- wherein the handle advances the rod through the threaded aperture of the container, rotating the plunger and received mixing stick in an engaging position when the first non threaded section of the rod is in the threaded aperture and rotated in either of a clockwise or counter clockwise direction and advancing the plunger to an extruding position toward the outlet of the container and sliding the mixing stick to a non-engaging position when the second threaded rod section is rotated within the threaded aperture.
A toy, comprising:
- a hollow container including a threaded aperture and an outlet;
- a rod disposed at the container having first and second ends and including at least first and second rod sections disposed there between, the second rod section being threaded;
- a plunger disposed at the first end of the rod at least partially within the hollow container and including an aperture through a surface of the plunger;
- a mixing stick received through the surface of the plunger at the aperture;
- a handle disposed at the second end of the rod for advancing the plunger to an extruding position toward the outlet of the hollow container;
- and
- a guide element disposed at the aperture of the plunger for maintaining positioning of the mixing stick.
