ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves a liquid jet propelled transporter and launcher toy. The launcher has a housing with a reservoir for holding a predetermined amount of liquid therein less than the volume of a transporter container and related to that volume. There is a reservoir fill port and cap to enable a user to fill the reservoir and close it. The launcher has a jet tube receiver adapted to receive a jet tube of a transporter. A pump is connected to the housing with a manually actuated pump and a one way valve from the pump to the reservoir. There is a transporter latch mechanism located on the housing and a release for releasing the latch mechanism so as to launch a transporter. The transporter includes a container for receiving liquid from the reservoir of the housing and a jet tube extending from the container which is adapted to fit onto the jet tube located in the housing. The liquid is stored in the reservoir and then pumped into the propulsion container of the transporter by actuating the pump and further actuation of the pump creates positive air pressure and within the reservoir and within the propulsion container of the transporter. Thereafter, the transporter may be released to freely advance away from the housing by jet propulsion.
