Abstract:
1. A multi-action toy water gun, comprising: a housing including a gun barrel having a discharge chamber and a discharge nozzle through which water is to be discharged; a handle grippable by one hand of a user for carrying the water gun and for aiming the gun barrel towards a target; a water reservoir carried by said housing for holding a quantity of water; a manually-driven pump having a pumping chamber and a handpiece grippable by the other hand of the user and reciprocatable along an axis parallel to that of the barrel for pumping water from said water reservoir to produce a discharge of water through said nozzle via said pumping and discharge chambers; and a water discharge control presettable by the user to different preset positions enabling the user to produce, during one preset position thereof, a large quantity blast water discharge from said gun barrel towards the target for drenching purposes, and during another preset position thereof, a rapid sequence of small-quantity water discharges for simulating rapid shots of an automatic gun; wherein said water discharge control includes first and second manually-presettable devices for controlling the volume of said discharge chamber, wherein there is a single water reservoir to produce the discharge of water through the discharge nozzle via the pumping and discharge chambers, wherein said second manually-presettable device includes a plunger within said discharge chamber counted to said handpiece reciprocatable by the user along an axis parallel to that of the barrel, and wherein the movement of said plunger within said discharge chamber is guided by a slot in the housing defining the discharge chamber, and is locked in the desired position by locking recesses formed in said slot.
