ABSTRACT:
A play apparatus for producing a simulated explosion or other sudden action. The apparatus has a plurality of pieces that are releasably assembled together to form an interior chamber. An expandable bag such as a balloon is disposed in the chamber and connected to a manually operable pump. The pieces are connected together in such a manner that they resist the outward push of the expanding balloon against them until there is sufficient expansion of the balloon to release the pieces from one another and permit the balloon to thrust the pieces outwardly in a sudden action. The apparatus may be incorporated in the play of a game where players take turns pumping more air into the balloon. The release of air from the expanded balloon may be used also, as for example, to create a suitable sound effect.
