| Abstract: |
A water action toy is worn on a child's hand by means of a glove secured to and underneath a housing in which a water reservoir, a water pump, an electrical motor and a battery pack are housed. A pair of actuators are mounted on a thumb sheath and a forefinger sheath of the glove. When the actuators are brought together by finger manipulation, the motor drives the pump to eject water in a series of spurts from the toy.

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims:
1. A fluid action toy, comprising:
- (a) a housing having a reservoir fillable with a fluid, and a fluid discharge port;
- (b) an electrically-driven pumping means in the housing for conveying the fluid under pressure from the reservoir through and past the discharge port;
- (c) an electrical power source in the housing for supplying power to the pumping means;
- (d) a glove secured to and underneath the housing in an intended position of use wherein the glove is worn on a user's hand, said glove having two adjacent finger sheaths for receiving two fingers of the user's hand, at least one sheath being movable relative to the other by finger manipulation; and
- (e) actuator means on the glove and electrically connected between the power source and the pumping means, and operative for selectively actuating the pumping means to eject the fluid away from the discharge port, said actuator means including a pair of actuators, one on each finger sheath, said actuators being normally positioned away from each other to prevent operation of the pumping means, and being positioned in contact with each other to permit operation of the pumping means in response to relative movement of said one sheath relative to said other sheath.
