Water gun amusement device
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a toy water gun including a pump for pressurizing the gun for shooting out a stream of water, a trigger for controlling the flow of the water, and a source of electricity and at least one light source for illuminating the stream, wherein the device is adapted to provide a lighted coherent stream of water.
1. A water gun amusement device comprising a body, water flow path structures including a nozzle assembly supported by and disposed within the body of said water gun; a trigger valve assembly operably coupled to the water flow path structures and to the body for controlling a water flow, and a peripheral connector device including an elongated conduit portion having a first end coupleable to the water gun and a second end having a fitting coupleable to a source of pressurized water, wherein the second fitting has a first portion coupled to the source of pressurized water and the first portion having an aperture having outer edges and an edge located within a portion of said source of said pressurized water wherein said edge located within is beveled so that said water does not touch said outer edges of said aperture, whereby the gun may be operably coupled to the source of pressurized water and shoots a substantially continuous stream of water.
2. The water gun according to claim 1 , wherein the fitting is a female fitting.
3. The water gun according to claim 2 , wherein the first end includes a bent fitting that is coupleable to the gun.
4. The water gun according to claim 3 , further comprising a source of electricity and at least one light source for illuminating a shot of water, wherein the shot of water is lighted and coherent.
5. A water gun amusement device comprising a body, a water flow path structure including a nozzle assembly supported by the body, an internal chamber for containing pressurized and unpressurized water and a pump for pressurizing the chamber when it contains unpressurized water for forcing a stream of water through the nozzle assembly, a trigger valve assembly operably coupled to the water flow path structure and to the body for controlling the stream of water, and bent means for connecting the device to a source of pressurized water whereby the device may shoot a stream of water without first operating said pump, wherein the bent means includes an end coupleable to the source of pressurized water, the end including a first portion and a second portion, one of said portions being at an angle with respect to the other, and having an aperture having outer edges and an edge located within a portion of a source of said pressurized water wherein said edge located within said source is beveled so that said pressurized water does not touch said outer edges of said aperture so as to shoot a substantially continuous stream of water.
