Embodiment Construction

[0022]This invention provides a means of storing energy in a device / mechanism where that energy can be released when desired to operate various air compression means used to propel or launch toy rockets, planes, etc.

[0023]The mechanisms that can be used to store energy include but are not be limited to: springs of all kinds, including but not limited to: coil, neg′ator, compression and leaf, and elastics of kinds, including but not limited to: bungee, silicon, surgical rubber.

[0024]Energy can be stored in the mechanisms in many different ways, including but not limited to, physical force input from the operator, water pressure and pressurized gas.

[0025]The secondary initial energy source can be built into the means of generating the compressed air or be external to it.

[0026]There are two preferred embodiments, each of which include attaching either bungee, rubber or coil springs internally or externally to the sliding chambers used to rapidly compress the propulsion air. Pulling the...

Abstract

The toy rocket includes inner and outer sleeve members with the inner sleeve member fitting into the outer sleeve in a slidable airtight relationship. An end assembly extends from a distal end of the inner sleeve member, including a launch tube at the distal end thereof. An external elongated member is supported by the end assembly and has holding elements at opposing ends thereof. A stretchable cord member extends from one holding member to an end piece of the outer sleeve member then to the other holding member, wherein rearward movement and then release of the outer sleeve member pushes air through the launch tube launching the toy rocket into the air.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention is directed towards improving the performance of toy products that use compressed air to project or launch items such as rockets, planes or other objects.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]It is well known that flying toys such as rockets and planes can be launched using compressed air. It is also well known that the compressed air can be generated by a number of different methods including but not limited to a moveable piston; two sliding members that are used to create a reduced volume of air while increasing the air pressure; a bellows or squeeze bottle; and a cylinder of compressed air.[0003]It is typical that the toy to be launched is attached to the compressed air generating means by either inserting into or sliding over a projection or launch tube from the air escape route. Most of these products require the user to compress the air at the time it is desired to project or launch the item. This is typically achieved by the action of squeezing ...
