Abstract:
A diaphragm water gun, comprising:a housing; a supply tank connected to the housing; a diaphragm assembly connected to the housing, including a generally planar diaphragm located between a cover and a diaphragm housing, said diaphragm housing having an open end, said diaphragm being secured at the open end such that in a relaxed position said generally planar diaphragm extends across the open end and remains generally outside said diaphragm housing, a diaphragm chamber being formed between the cover and the diaphragm; a pump for drawing water from the supply tank and forcing the water into the diaphragm chamber so that said diaphragm expands into said diaphragm housing; a release conduit in fluid communication between the diaphragm chamber and a release valve; and an actuator connected to the release valve for moving the release valve from a first state, in which the valve is closed, to a second state, in which the valve is open to discharge water from the water gun.
