Patent ID: 7442106

Claim:
A reusable piñata system, comprising: a hollow body having an open bottom end, wherein a plurality of slots are disposed in said hollow body; an end cap sized to obstruct said open bottom end of said hollow body; a support element coupled to said end cap, said support element extending into said hollow body through said open bottom end, wherein said support element is selectively positionable between a closed position, where said support element holds said end cap element in obstruction of said open bottom end, and an open position where said support element holds said end cap element away from said open bottom end; and a plurality of removable pull pins disposed in said slots of said hollow body, wherein said pull pins extend into said hollow body and at least some of said pull pins engage said support element to hold said support element in said closed position, wherein when all of said pull pins that engage said support element are removed, gravity causes said support element to fall to said open position, thereby moving said end cap element away from said open bottom end of said hollow body.
