20100170920 | SQUIRTING TOY INCLUDING A SUPPLEMENTAL RESERVOIR SYSTEM AND METHODS THEREOF - A squirting toy capable of squirting water received from a reservoir and/or from an external source. The squirting toy can include a housing, a piston, a shaft, and an handle portion. As the piston is slidably moved through the housing the water can be squirted out of the housing. Water can be drawn in from an external source by placing a part of the housing in the water and slidably moving the piston through the housing. Water can also be drawn in from a water reservoir (e.g., a standard water bottle). | 07-08-2010 |
20120018449 | SQUIRTING TOY INCLUDING A SUPPLEMENTAL RESERVOIR SYSTEM AND METHODS THEREOF - A squirting toy capable of squirting water received from a reservoir and/or from an external source. The squirting toy can include a housing, a piston, a shaft, and an handle portion. As the piston is slidably moved through the housing the water can be squirted out of the housing. Water can be drawn in from an external source by placing a part of the housing in the water and slidably moving the piston through the housing. Water can also be drawn in from a water reservoir (e.g., a standard water bottle). | 01-26-2012 |
20140252035 | SQUIRTING TOY INCLUDING A DYNAMO SYSTEM AND METHODS THEREOF - A squirting toy capable of squirting water received from a reservoir and/or from an external source. The squirting toy can include a housing, a piston, a shaft, and an handle portion. As the piston is slidably moved through the housing the water can be squirted out of the housing. Further, as the piston is slidably moved through the housing an electrical assembly including a turbine can be activated generating electricity to power an electric device (e.g., a light). | 09-11-2014 |
20140352677 | HINGED ARM SAFETY MECHANISM FOR FOAM DART LAUNCHER - A dart launcher comprises a housing, a safety arm, and a trigger. The housing includes a launching section configured to receive a dart having a minimum threshold length. The safety arm is movably attached to the housing and extends at least partially across the launching section. The safety arm is positioned so that the dart having the minimum threshold length engages at least a portion of the safety arm upon insertion into the launching section. The trigger is movable with respect to the housing and is operable to cause the dart having the minimum threshold length to launch from the launching section. | 12-04-2014 |
20150018143 | FOAM DART HAVING A SAFETY CAP - A dart is disclosed that may comprise an elongate dart body, a base, and a cap. The elongate dart body may have a first end, a second end, and an interior cavity, which can be a bore. The base may include a mount and a stem inserted into the interior bore of the dart body at the first end of the dart. The cap may be attached to the base and may have a flexible, substantially bulbous-shaped head portion and an interior post so that the head portion may be configured to deform upon an impact. | 01-15-2015 |
