ABSTRACT:
An improvement in Cartesian diving toy includes modification of both the diving component of the toy and of the receptacle in which the toy dives in. The diving toy includes an air chamber, a section of which is invaginated within the remaining section of the air chamber. The invaginated section is convoluted and is capable of extending or shortening in respect to pressure changes in the environment outside of the air chamber. A propulsion member is connected to the invaginated section of the air chamber and moves in response to the elongation or the shortening of the invaginated section to propel the toy through a liquid. The receptacle for the toy is improved by locating a pump chamber in association with the lower part of the receptacle allowing for complete purging of the air out of the pump chamber. The receptacle further includes a stopper having a protuberance on its lower side which fits within an upstanding wall on the upper portion of the receptacle. When the stopper is fitted onto the receptacle, the protuberance is forced into the upper surface of the liquid within the receptacle and displaces any gas within the upper periphery of the receptacle rendering the receptacle essentially gas free such that the liquid therein is capable of transmitting pressure differences from the pump directly to the air chamber of the diving component toy.
