A toy water gun actuation mechanism for controlling opening of a valve with a base, a trigger, a coupling member being configured to be connected to the valve member and further comprising a movably supported blocking member with an abutment that enables to open and close the valve in a given period if the blocking member is in its blocking position and if the coupling member is in the first position, then the abutment is positioned in trajectory of the coupling member defined by a movement of the coupling member from the first position into the second position, whereas if the blocking member is in its non-blocking position, the abutment is located outside the trajectory being defined by the movement of the coupling member. Further a first elastic member is connected to the trigger and to the coupling member, wherein the potential energy being stored by the first elastic member is increased, if the trigger is moved from its released position towards its actuated position while the coupling member is maintained in its first position by the blocking member, and the trigger has a pusher dog configured to move and/or release a movement of the blocking member from the blocking position into its non-blocking position if the trigger is moved from its non-actuated position towards its actuated position.

If the blocking member is in its non-blocking position, the abutment is located outside the trajectory. A first elastic member is connected to the trigger and to the coupling member, The trigger has a pusher dog configured to move and/or release a movement of the blocking member into a non-blocking position.

A toy launcher having a telescopic barrel, a plunger element, and a compression spring that biases the plunger element against a rear wall of the telescopic barrel. When a cocking slide is moved from a forward position to a backward position, the plunger element partially compresses the compression spring against the rear wall of the telescopic barrel, while the plunger element couples to a trigger assembly. Fluid from a reservoir enters a fluid chamber formed by the plunger element and the front part of the telescopic barrel. When the cocking slide is moved from the backward position to the forward position, the rear part of the telescopic barrel fully compresses the compression spring. Fluid is expelled from the fluid chamber when the coupling between the plunger element and trigger assembly is released.

A water gun comprising a pressure tank, a nozzle, a tube and valve with a valve conduit has an increased shooting range if the pressure tank has an outlet being connected to an inlet of the tube, the tube has an outlet being connected to an inlet port of the valve conduit and an outlet port of the valve conduit is in fluid communication with the nozzle.

A toy water gun having a stream interrupter or interrupter valve that is configured to periodically interrupt a flow of water that is discharged such that periodic bursts of water are delivered in a rapid succession. In one arrangement, a nozzle recovery chamber is provided in a nozzle opening of the nozzle is located that is directed to discharge water through the nozzle recovery chamber along a discharge axis. The stream interrupter is located in the nozzle recovery chamber between the nozzle opening and the discharge opening and is configured to periodically interrupt a flow of water from the nozzle along the discharge axis to the discharge opening to form the periodic bursts of water that are delivered from the discharge opening. Blocked water in the recovery chamber is recycled back to the supply tank. Use of the interrupter valve provides for interrupted discharges from the nozzle.

The invention is directed to a soap foam blaster device with a switch (or trigger) actuated pump to create soap foam using an aerator that is directed into a telescoping breech for pressurization thereof. A grip member with a nozzle on the free end thereof is attached to an inner member and actuated rearwardly to collapse the breech thereby launching the soap foam a substantial distance for targeted direction of soap foam for improved gameplay. For another blast of foam soap, the telescoping breech is expanded again by moving the grip member forwardly to slide out the inner member within the outer member whereby another volume of soap foam can be loaded into the breech for a subsequent launch. Alternatively, soap foam solution may be manually pumped from the soap solution reservoir by a manual telescoping pump configuration to create foam and then manually launched therefrom through the outer nozzle.

The invention relates to a water gun, in particular to a toy water gun comprising a supply line, which is adapted to supply a pressurized liquid from a source, a nozzle arrangement for ejecting the liquid to the environment as well as a valve for controlling a flow of the liquid in a direction from the supply line to the nozzle arrangement. The water gun additionally includes a flow-smoothing device, with the valve arranged behind the flow-smoothing device with respect to the flow direction.

Systems and methods are disclosed for a fluid-based projectile launcher having a housing, that may also include a barrel portion, and a propellant fluid chamber. Disclosed embodiments also include a valve assembly that controls flow of propellant fluid from the propellant fluid chamber to the barrel portion through a fluid passageway, and an adjustable block assembly that controls motion and/or position of the valve assembly.

A liquid dispensing squirt device comprises a handle member, a barrel/loading member, and a spray nozzle member. The barrel/loading member connects to the top portion of the handle member, and contains an access hatch where the carbonated beverage is held. The liquid from the carbonated beverage can is dispensed through the spray nozzle with the can is pierced.
