ABSTRACT:
A toy object that repeatedly submerges and rises in the water, which toy is plastic molded and has a chamber for receiving baking powder and the like. The toy has a cap member integrally molded therewith and connected by a strap. The cap member serves to cover the powder chamber yet permits water to enter the powder chamber which will cause a bubble to be formed in a bubble or gas chamber on the underside of the cap, the cap also forming a holder for supporting a separately formed ballast rod in an off-center position. The toy will descend to the bottom of the water vessel and when the bubble forms in the bubble or gas chamber and enlarges it will cause the toy to ascend towards the top water level. The toy will remain at the top water level for a short period of time during the period that the bubble continues to enlarge in the bubble chamber and during this period the toy will be influenced to tip to one side due to the off-center ballast rod. After the bubble leaves the bubble chamber and breaks, the toy will straighten out and will then descend to the bottom of the water vessel. This action is repeated until the baking powder in the chamber is expended, after which it is refilled by removing the cap member. The integral formation of a toy with a cap member permits the toy to be formed of a small size, yet will pass Government safety standards in that it will not prove hazardous to small children who might try to place the toy in their mouths.
