Benefits of technology

[0005] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a water spraying amusement device capable of holding a large volume of water to reduce the number of refill trips to a water source.
[0006] It is another object of the present invention to provide a water spraying amusement device capable of allowing a user to increase and maintain pressure within the device in order to increase the range of water expelled from the device.
[0007] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a water spraying amusement device capable of being connected to the user's hand in such a way as to reduce injury to the user or damage to the device caused by the device slipping from the user's grip.

Problems solved by technology

There also is a need for a water spraying amusement device capable of allowing a user to increase and maintain pressure within the device because the range of water expelled from prior art devices is limited.
Further, prior art devices require a user to grasp and hold on to a handle portion.
These devices, however, may slip from a user's grip if the user is running around, potentially causing injury to the user or damage to the devices.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, handgrip 100 comprises finger holes 10, a trigger 12, a fitting 14, a pressure setting knob 16, spray nozzles 18, an outer hose 20, a first inner hose 22, a second inner hose 24, a spring 26, a valve 28, an inner chamber 30 and an outer chamber 32.

[0020] A user grips handgrip 100 by placing his or her fingers into finger holes 10. Placing handgrip 100 over the user's knuckles reduces accidental slippage from the user's grip in comparison to conventional water gun handgrips. Water travels from a water tank (see FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 below) to handgrip 100 via outer hose 20. Fitting 14 connects outer hose 20 to handgrip 100. Water travels from outer hose 20 through first inner hose 22 to outer chamber 32.

[0021] When trigger 12 is not depressed, water and pressure build up in outer chamber 32 because valve 28, held in place by an opposing spring force exerted by spring 26, prevents water from traveling beyond outer chamber 32. When trigger 12 is depr...

Abstract

A water spraying amusement device for allowing a user to shoot water for entertainment purposes from a handgrip worn on the knuckles and connected to a pressurizing pump worn on the user's forearm. The pressurizing pump is connected to a pressurized water tank worn either on the user's back or around the user's midsection.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 60 / 618,534, filed Oct. 14, 2004, hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention generally relates to water amusement devices and more particularly pertains to a new water spraying amusement device for allowing a user to shoot water for entertainment purposes from a handgrip worn on the knuckles and connected to a pressurizing pump worn on the user's forearm. The pressurizing pump is connected to a water tank worn either on the user's back or around the user's midsection. BACKGROUND [0003] Water amusement devices are known in the prior art. The toy industry is extremely competitive with numerous and varying styles developed in an attempt to profit from the inherent popularity of water toys. The most traditional forms of water spraying amusement devices are water guns which are activated by a pumping action, either manually through a trigger or automatically through a battery oper...
