Embodiment Construction

[0017] The same reference numerals denote the same components in the present invention.

[0018] figure 1 is a perspective view of a gaming device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, game device 10 may include launch device 100 and one or more accessories such as air vehicle 110 and ground vehicle 120 . Launching device 100 may comprise any structure operable to generate a flow of fluid, such as air or water. As an example, launch device 100 may be a pneumatic device operable to generate an air flow sufficient to propel accessory vehicle 110, 120 into the air or along the ground. Figure 2A is an isolated perspective view of the launch device 100 . As shown, the launching device 100 includes a base portion 200 , a bellows assembly 210 supported by the base portion 200 , a cover 220 connected to the bellows assembly 210 , and a launch tube 230 . The base 200 provides a stable support for the launching device 100 on the supporting surface SS. The ...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a fluid driven vehicle playset. The playset includes a launching device and one or more accessory toys. The launching device includes a launch tube and a bellows system operable to generate a flow of air through the launch tube. The accessory toys may include vehicles such as air-launched vehicles and surface-launched vehicles. Each accessory toy may include a port that receives the launch tube. In use, an accessory toy is mounted onto the launch tube and the bellows is compressed, causing the air to propel the vehicle into the air or along a surface. In another embodiment, the launch tube may include and interference assembly that selectively prohibits the mounting of an accessory toy onto the launch tube, or prevents the launching of accessory toys already mounted onto the tube. The launching device may further be incorporated into a carrying case or a transport vehicle toy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fluid powered toy playset, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a playset including a pneumatic launcher selectively engageable with a toy accessory. Background technique [0002] Various types of toy launchers are known in the prior art. Many model rockets use self-propelled, solid-fuel rocket motors to propel them into the air. Other launchers include pressure-propelled rocket launchers, which typically generate a pressure pulse within a base and transmit that pulse to a stationary toy rocket for launch. Such launches are usually accomplished with a pressurized fluid, either air or water. Various designs of pressure-propelled rocket launchers have been proposed and implemented. Such pressurized launchers typically function by releasing pressurized water or air into a launch tube that protrudes into the hollow region of the toy rocket. Illegal misuse of pressure-propelled rocket launchers can h...
