ABSTRACT:
An amusement device for propelling water either from a self contained reservoir or from a standing body of water. The amusement device is a type of toy whip that uses a whipping action to propel water toward a target. The amusement device contains a tubular handle and at least one flexible tubular element that extends from one end of the tubular handle, thereby forming an overall tubular structure having a rigid section and a flexible section. By partially submerging the tubular handle in a body of water and manipulating the overall tubular structure with a whipping action, water is drawn up into the tubular structure. The flexible tubular element extending from the handle tapers toward a small exit aperture. As the whipping motion of the overall tubular structure forces water toward the exit aperture, the water becomes compressed by the taper of the flexible tubular element. As a result, the water is propelled from the exit aperture at a high rate of speed. As long as the handle of the amusement device remains partially submerged, water will continuously be drawn into the device as needed.
