| Abstract: |
A simulated combat game set in which the players are provided with toy water guns and each player wears a target. When a gun is fired by a player it shoots out a beam of water, each player trying to hit a vulnerable site on the target worn by an opposing player and thereby strike him out. To this end, the vulnerable site on the target is constituted by a plaque or label having printed thereon a strike symbol or other hit indicator covered by a mask that conceals the indicator. The hit indicator is rendered readable only when the mask is made wet and transparent by a water beam impinging thereon.

First Claim:
Show all 4 claims |
We claim:
1. A combat game set comprising:
- A. a battery-powered toy water gun having a water pump operated by a direct-current motor connected to the battery by a trigger-actuated switch which when fired by a trigger operation shoots out a beam of ordinary water; and
- B. a target wearable by the player having a plaque thereon constituted by a base sheet having a strike symbol printed thereon which is concealed by a masking layer formed by a cover sheet laminated to said base sheet which when dry is effectively opaque and is effectively rendered transparent to expose the symbol only when the making layer is rendered wet by the water beam whereby the exposed strike symbol indicated a hit, said target being dimensioned to shield from water a relatively large area of the player's body, said masking layer, when thereafter dry, again concealing the strike symbol whereby the plaque is repeatedly reusable, said cover sheet being formed by a transparent sheet whose outer surface is coated with a dispersion of fine acrylic silicate particles that diffuse light when dry, and are rendered transparent when wet.
