| 摘要 | A water gun for use on a bicycle or tricycle vehicle in which a pump driven by a roller engageable with a wheel of the vehicle drives a pump to pump water from a container through a nozzle. A cable controlled by a handle secured to the handle bar of the vehicle is used to move the roller into engagement with the wheel when it is desired to squirt water. A clacker may also be actuated by the roller to produce a sound simulating that of a machine gun. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. A liquid toy gun for use on a wheeled passenger vehicle having a frame and a single front wheel journalled in a fork rotatably secured to said frame and rotatable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of movement of the vehicle, said fork having a handle bar operatively connected thereto for rotative adjustment of the fork and the direction of travel of the front wheel, said liquid toy gun comprising; a housing having clamping means for detachably securing the same to one leg of such a fork; said housing enclosing a liquidtight container for liquid, a pump having an inlet connected to said container and an outlet through which said pump forces liquid pumped from said container, and an actuator for said pump including a rotatable member extending out of the housing and designed to be operatively coupled with the front wheel of the vehicle, said actuator being so positioned with respect to said housing that when said housing is properly secured to one leg of the fork of such a vehicle, said rotatable member is in a position in which it can be operatively coupled with the front wheel of the vehicle regardless of the position of the front wheel with respect to the vehicle, means for selectively moving said rotatable member into and out of a position in which it is operatively coupled to the front wheel of the vehicle when said housing is mounted on the fork of such a wheeled vehicle, and a tubular nozzle member connected to said outlet for direction of the liquid generally forwardly of the vehicle. 2. The gun of claim 1 in which the means for selectively moving said rotatable member into and out of a position in which it is operatively coupled with the front wheel of a vehicle includes means for biasing said rotatable member out of the position in which it is coupled with the front wheel of the vehicle, a manually operable control designed to be secured to the handle bar of the vehicle for moving the rotatable member into such position against the action of the biasing means. 3. The gun of claim 2 in which a cable extends between said manually operable control and said means for moving said rotatable member. 4. The gun of claim 1 in which said nozzle is supported by and projects out of said housing. 5. The gun of claim 1 in which said nozzle is remote from said housing and is adapted to be secured to a portion of the vehicle which does not turn with turning of the front wheel so as always to be directed in the same direction regardless of the direction in which said front wheel is disposed. 6. The gun of claim 1 in which the pump has a reciprocating plunger which forces liquid out of said nozzle only when said plunger is moved in one direction so that as said rotatable member is rotated the liquid is projected from said nozzle in a series of intermittent streams. 7. The gun of claim 6, in which said rotatable member has associated therewith a resilient member which is periodically engaged by said rotatable member synchronously with the ejection of liquid from said nozzle while said rotatable member is operatively coupled with a wheel, said resilient member being effective to produce a sound each time that a stream of liquid is ejected from said nozzle, so as to simulate the a action of an automatic repeating gun. |
