ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves a pressurized air propelled rocket and rocket launcher toy device. The launcher has a housing which includes a vessel for holding pressurized air therein, an inlet to the vessel and an outlet from the vessel. Also, the housing has a jet tube extending from the outlet and adapted to connect with a rocket. A pump is connected to the vessel inlet of the housing, the pump is connected for and capable of pumping air into the vessel at a pressure sufficient to launch the rocket assembly. A one way valve is connected to the pump and permits the flow of air only from the pump to the vessel. There is a rocket double action, rapid fire release mechanism located in the housing with a first valve which, when released, causes a decrease in pressure to cause a second valve to open. The opening of the second valve releases pressurized air into the rocket to launch it. In preferred embodiments, there is also included a safety mechanism to prevent horizontal or lateral launching.
