Benefits of technology

This patent describes a new type of remote-controlled water toy that is designed to be played in small indoor or outdoor pools, ponds, or even full-size lakes. The toy can be controlled through a remote control that can control its speed and direction. This invention requires less space and is easier to play with than traditional sports like swimming.

Problems solved by technology

As the remote-controlled water toy collects water in its volume, it will lose speed and maneuverability due to the weight of the water.
Additionally, if the remote-controlled water toy is floating, such as a boat, it will slowly sink.

first embodiment

[0036]The first embodiment is a boat 77. The boat 77 floats. The boat 77 has an outer shell 55 with a plurality of apertures 19, 25. The outer shell 55 is a continuous, exterior surface of the boat 77. Part of the outer shell 55 can be decorative pieces such as the bridge 21. During game play, an opponent can fire water at the boat. Water will infiltrate the outer shell 55 through one or more of the apertures 19, 25 in the deck 17. The water will then be collected and stored in an interior volume 99. To prevent the boat 77 from totally sinking, one or more water-tight compartments 31 can be used to create buoyancy. As the interior volume 99 fills with water, the boat 77 will no longer float fully upright. Once the interior volume 99 of the boat 77 is filled with a predetermined amount of water, the boat 77 will be partially or totally submerged. The predetermined amount of water depends on the overall weight of the boat 77 and the amount of buoyancy built into the water-tight compar...

second embodiment

[0045]The present invention can also be expressed by non-floating embodiments, such as the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 7-11. In this embodiment, the remote-controlled water toy is a tank 101, 102. The tank 101, 102 can be partially submerged in a pool 103 of water 104. The tank 101, 102 has treads 112 that contact the lower surface 105 of the pool 103. Alternately, the tank 101, 102 could have tires. The lower surface 105 can be textured to provide extra traction. The tanks 101, 102 shoot water 107 at each other through water cannons 106.

[0046]The tanks 101, 102 have an outer shell 108. The outer shell 108 is a continuous, exterior surface. There are a plurality of apertures 109, 110, 111 in the outer shell 108 that allow water 107 to collect in an interior volume 118. When water 107 shot by an opponent fills the interior volume 118 by entering the outer shell 108 through the apertures 109, 110, 111, the water will trip a float switch 119. Once the float switch 119 is tripped b...

Abstract

The invention is remote-controlled water toy that has an outer shell that is a continuous and external surface, a plurality of apertures in the outer shell that allow water to infiltrate the outer shell, and an interior volume that collects and stores water that has infiltrated the outer shell. The remote-controlled water toy can shoot water, be shot at by other similar vehicles, retain water that hits them directly in the interior volume, continue to be operational after being hit, and sink or otherwise become deactivated when a predetermined volume of water has infiltrated the exterior shell.
