Description
- This invention relates generally to toys and, more specifically, to large squirt gun toys, commonly known as “water cannons.”
- Large squirt guns, commonly known as “water cannons,” have become very popular toys. Water cannons generally comprise a pair of telescoping tubes, the distal end of the innermost tube comprising a plunger. To load the water cannon, one merely submerges the nozzle end under water and draws back the inner tube so as to draw water into the outer tube. To expel water from the water cannon, one slides the outer tube rearwardly over the inner tube. As pressure is thereby developed in the outer tube, water is expelled through the nozzle end of the outer tube.
- A problem with such water cannons arises because the water cannon tends to accumulate dirt within the tubes. Such sand and dirt can quickly erode the components of the water cannon, causing it to fail.
- Most prior art water cannons have no ability to clean sand and dirt from the interior components of the water cannon. Attempts have been made, however, to allow for the cleaning of water cannon components by allowing the inner tube to slip out of the outer tube. Problems arise from such a configuration, however, in that the inner tube often becomes separated from the outer tube during normal operation—when water is being drawn into the outer tube.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a water cannon toy which avoids the aforementioned problems in the prior art.
- The invention satisfies this need. The invention is a water cannon toy comprising (a) an outer tube having an open proximal end, an open distal end, an interior and an exterior, (b) an inner tube disposed in slideable, telescoping fashion within the outer tube, the inner tube having a proximal end, a distal end, an interior and an exterior, (c) a plunger disposed at the distal end of the inner tube, the plunger being sized and dimensioned to remain in contact with the outer tube and to substantially prevent the leakage of liquid from the interior of the distal end of the outer tube to the exterior of the distal end of the inner tube, (d) an inner tube retainer attached to the proximal end of the outer tube. The inner tube retainer has (i) a locked position wherein the distal end of the inner tube is prevented from exiting the proximal end of the outer tube, and (ii) an unlocked position wherein the distal end of the inner tube is free to exit from the proximal end of the outer tube, the inner tube retainer being capable of alternatively transitioning between the locked position and the unlocked position by hand without the need for use of tools.
- In a typical embodiment of the invention, the inner tube retainer is provided by a threaded cap having a central opening with a diameter greater than the outside diameter of the inner tube, but less than the outside diameter of the plunger.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following description, appended claims and accompanying drawings where:
-
FIG. 1 is a side view of a water cannon toy having features of the invention; -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side view of the water cannon toy illustrated inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is an exploded side view of the water cannon toy illustrated inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a side view of the water cannon toy ofFIG. 1 showing how water is loaded into the water cannon toy; -
FIG. 5 is a detailed cross-sectional view of the water cannon toy illustrated inFIG. 4 ; and -
FIG. 6 is a detailed cross-sectional view of the water cannon toy illustrated inFIG. 2 . - The following discussion describes in detail one embodiment of the invention and several variations of that embodiment. This discussion should not be construed, however, as limiting the invention to those particular embodiments. Practitioners skilled in the art will recognize numerous other embodiments as well.
- The invention is a
water cannon toy 10 comprising anouter tube 12, andinner tube 14, aplunger 16 and aninner tube retainer 18. A typical embodiment of the invention is illustrated inFIGS. 1-6 . - The
outer tube 12 typically has a circular cross section with a diameter between about______inches and about______inches. Theouter tube 12 has an openproximal end 20, an opendistal end 22, an interior and an exterior. - A
nozzle 23 is disposed across the opendistal end 22 of theouter tube 12. - The
inner tube 14 is disposed in slidable, telescoping fashion within theouter tube 12. Theinner tube 14 also typically has a circular cross section. The outside diameter of theinner tube 14 is only slightly less than the inside diameter of theouter tube 12, so that theinner tube 14 fits snugly but slidably within theouter tube 12. Theinner tube 14 has aproximal end 24, adistal end 26, an interior and an exterior. - The
plunger 16 is disposed at thedistal end 26 of theinner tube 14. Theplunger 16 is sized and dimensioned to remain in contact with theouter tube 12 and to substantially prevent the leakage of liquid from the interior of thedistal end 22 of theouter tube 12 to the exterior of thedistal end 26 of theinner tube 14. - Typically, a grease or other suitable soft sealant is applied to the
plunger 16 to assist theplunger 16 in preventing the leakage of liquid from the interior of thedistal end 22 of theouter tube 12 to the exterior of thedistal end 26 of theinner tube 14. - In the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, the
plunger 16 further includes an O-ring seal 28 disposed around the exterior of theinner tube 14. - It is also typical that the
water cannon 10 of the invention further comprises ahandle 30 attached to theproximal end 24 of theinner tube 14. - The
inner tube retainer 18 is attached to theproximal end 20 of theouter tube 12. Theinner tube retainer 18 has (i) a lock position wherein thedistal end 26 of theinner tube 14 is prevented from existing theproximal end 20 of theouter tube 12, and (ii) an unlock position wherein thedistal end 26 of theinner tube 14 is free to exit from theproximal end 20 of theouter tube 12. Theinner tube 14 is adapted so as to be capable of alternatively transitioning between the locked position and the unlocked position by hand without the need for use of tools, such as wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, allen wrenches, etc. - In the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, the
inner tube retainer 18 is provided by acap 32 which is threaded to theouter tube 12. The threadedcap 32 has acentral opening 34 with a diameter which is greater than the outside diameter of theinner tube 14 and less than the outside diameter of theplunger 16. By this design, it can be seen, that thedistal end 26 of theinner tube 14 cannot be removed from theproximal end 20 of theouter tube 12 unless and until the threadedcap 32 is detached from the outer end of theproximal end 20 of theouter tube 12. Thus, in the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, the lock position of theinner tube retainer 18 is provided by thecap 32 when it is threaded onto theproximal end 20 of theouter tube 12 and the unlock position of theinner tube retainer 18 is provided when the threadedcap 32 is detached from theproximal end 20 of theouter tube 12. - Virtually all of the components of the
water cannon 10 of the invention are made from inexpensive plastic material such as PVC, ABS and polypropylene. Such plastic materials are light weight and inexpensive to manufacture, and are also not degraded by frequent exposure to water. Components made from aluminum and steel can also be used in the invention. - In operation the
inner tube 14 is disposed in telescopic fashion within theouter tube 12, as illustrated inFIGS. 1-3 , and theinner tube retainer 18 is placed in the locked position. Thereafter, the user of the invention loads water into thedistal end 22 of theouter tube 12, as illustrated inFIG. 4 , by drawing rearwardly on theinner tube 14, thus drawing water back into theproximal end 20 of theouter tube 12. Because of the continuous contact between theplunger 16 disposed at thedistal end 26 of theinner tube 14 and the interior of theouter tube 12, the drawing backwards of theinner tube 14 causes a sufficient vacuum within theproximal end 20 of theouter tube 12 to draw water back into theproximal end 20 of theouter tube 12. - After water is loaded into the
proximal end 20 of theouter tube 12, the user can freely discharge water from thedistal end 22 of theouter tube 12 by pushing theinner tube 14 forwardly such that theplunger 16 is moved towards thedistal end 22 of theouter tube 12. Because theplunger 16 substantially prevents leakage of liquid from the interior of thedistal end 22 of theouter tube 12 to the exterior of thedistal end 26 of theinner tube 14, the pushing forward of theplunger 16 forces water out of thenozzle 23 at thedistal end 22 of theouter tube 12. - After frequent uses of the invention, when sand, dirt or other contaminants has fouled the interior components of the
water cannon 10, the user can quickly and conveniently clean out the components, as illustrated inFIG. 3 , by placing theinner tube 14 container into the unlocked position, removing theinner tube 14 from theouter tube 12, cleaning both the exterior of theinner tube 14 and the interior of theouter tube 12, replacing theinner tube 14 back into theouter tube 12 and moving theinner tube retainer 18 back into the locked position - Having thus described the invention, it should be apparent that numerous structural modifications and adaptations may be resorted to without departing from the scope and fair meaning of the instant invention as set forth hereinabove and as described hereinbelow by the claims.
