Water toy

Abstract

A buoyant water toy constructed from a moldable plastic that simulates the shape of a seahorse and can be propelled through the water by a rider straddling the body of the toy and peddling a bicycle-like foot-engaging pedal mechanism connected to the body of the toy.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to water toys. More particularly, the invention concerns a buoyant water toy simulating the shape of a seahorse that can be propelled through the water by a rider straddling the body of the toy and peddling a bicycle-like foot-engaging pedal mechanism connected to the body of the toy.[0003]2. Discussion of the Prior Art[0004]A number of prior art water cycles of various designs have been suggested in the past. Typically, the prior art water cycles are of a boat-like construction in which the user is supported above the surface of the water and propels the device through the water using foot operated pedal and propeller mechanisms of various designs. As a general rule, the prior art water cycles are bulky and difficult to transport and store.[0005]Those prior art devices which are designed for a rider to get wet and to be propelled through the water are often of a relatively comple...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]Another object of the invention is to provide a water toy of the character described that is light weight, easy to transport and use and easy to propel through the water.

Problems solved by technology

As a general rule, the prior art water cycles are bulky and difficult to transport and store.

Those prior art devices which are designed for a rider to get wet and to be propelled through the water are often of a relatively complex construction and are expensive to produce.
