A toy weapon for firing a charge of water includes a housing, water reservoir and a reciprocating piston mounted within a tube in the housing. The tube has a spring-biased, hinge mounted flap valve located at one end of the tube to effectively close the tube end. This valve also creates a sufficiently air-tight seal to allow the water charge to be suctioned from the reservoir into the tube. The tube holds the water charge, which is drawn into the tube on a back stroke of the piston, through a one-way valve in a conduit that connects the reservoir with the tube. The weapon is fired on a forward piston stroke, the water charge being pressurized in the tube and released as a single slug or burst of large droplets when the flap valve opens under increasing pressure of the water charge. A nozzle is provided downstream from the flap valve to help keep the water charge together and increase the velocity of the water as it is discharged from the weapon. A mechanical sound generator can be provided operated by movement of the piston shaft.

A toy vehicle has a drive wheel and a flywheel that are coupled together by a slip clutch which includes a flexible pawl extended from the drive wheel to the surface of the flywheel so that the drive wheel may be grasped and brought to an immediate stop without injury. The toy vehicle cooperates with the energizer-launcher so that the toy vehicle is spring catapulted therefrom upon release thereof. The energizer-launcher has a pistol grip handle with trigger for one-handed aiming and launching of the vehicle and a pull cord for accelerating the flywheel and drive wheel while the launcher is being held by the pistol grip handle. A tachometer may be provided on the energizer-launcher. The toy vehicle further may have a spark generator on the drive wheel which is activated by the rotation of the drive wheel after the vehicle is launched.

A tool assembly is disclosed that provides reciprocating motion to a tip of the assembly. The tool assembly has a drive assembly, a shaft assembly and a retraction mechanism contained within a housing. The tip of the shaft assembly protrudes from the housing during a portion of the stroke of the drive mechanism and upon disengagement of a motor of the drive assembly, the tip of the shaft assembly is recessed within the housing of the tool assembly.

The present invention provides a simulated flower having a center section and a plurality of petals pivotally mounted to the center section for movement between an open position and a closed position. A toy doll is supported on a doll holder member, which is disposed within the simulated flower center section. A mechanism is provided which operates to raise and lower the holder member, and consequently the doll, and to simultaneously pivot the petals between the open and the closed positions, respectively. When the petals are in the open position, the doll is exposed and when the petals are in the closed position, the doll is enveloped by the petals.

A water play toy includes a base and a platform pivotally secured over the base so as to be stepped on and pivoted. Several pairs of valves and nozzles are provided around the outer periphery of the toy between the platform and base with each valve positioned to be contacted by and depressed by the platform as the platform pivots onto such valve. Four spaced apart pivot members define eight primary axes over which the platform will pivot to open one, two or three of the adjoining valves at the same time. When the platform is stepped on within an area surrounded by the pivot members and with sufficient force, the platform is depressed vertically and all four valves are depressed and open. A simultaneous depression of all valves can be prevented by supporting the platform directly on the pivot members before activation.

A dusting device is provided that has at least one cleaning member with a microfiber bundle secured to a spine by a seam. The spine provides a resilient flexibility to the cleaning member such that the spine flexes as pressure is applied, but at least partially returns to an original shape upon removal of the pressure.
