Abstract:
1. A toy rocket launching assembly, comprising: an elongated launch tube; a pusher assembly which fits moveably inside of the launch tube in an airtight relationship therewith; a launch head assembly mounted on a forward end of the launch tube so as to be rotatable thereabout and removable therefrom, the launch head assembly fitting onto the forward end of the launch tube in an air-tight relationship, the launch head assembly including a plurality of launch ports at an upper end thereof for receiving a plurality of toy rockets in a tightly fittable relationship, wherein the launch head assembly includes a plurality of spaced air passageways, each air passageway having an air entry opening, with airtight communication between each of said openings and an associated launch port, wherein the launch tube has an opening in the forward end thereof which is configured to be in air tight communication with successive air entry openings in the launch head assembly as the launch head assembly is rotated, such that successive air passageways open between the launch tube and successive launch ports in the launch head assembly; and a plurality of toy rockets adapted to be fitted onto the launch ports, wherein as the launch head assembly is rotated to successive launch port positions, movement of the pusher assembly into the launch tube produces sufficient air pressure at a selected launch port that a toy rocket mounted thereon is launched therefrom.
