ABSTRACT:
A new type of simulated volcano toy is described. It uses a formed mold to create the outer shell of the volcano. A tubular insert is used to ensure the center opening is properly formed. Once the shell is made, a disk is placed at the bottom of the eruption tube. A length of ribbon or string is placed through slots formed in the disk. The ribbon ends are placed out of the eruption tube and are allowed to fall over the sides of the shell. The eruption tube can then be filled with whatever the user desires. For example, candy, plastic pellets, confetti, small toys etc. The user then grasps the ribbon ends and pulls them sharply. This causes the disk in the bottom to be quickly pulled up, out of the eruption tube. As the disk is being pulled upward, all of the material placed over the disk in the eruption tube is thrown upwards and out of the eruption tube by the disk. This creates an "eruption" that is entertaining.
