ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a reusable telescopic pinata that includes a collapsible container assembly with two or more coaxially disposed tubular members. These tubular members are releasably kept together by several locking tabs. A base assembly is hingedly mounted to the lowermost tubular member. A latching mechanism holds the base assembly against the bottom rim of the lowermost tubular member. With a plurality of strings attached to the hingedly mounted base assembly, the participants release the candy and toys stored inside the container assembly. The tubular members can be substituted thereby resulting in different design combinations, and also the number of tubular members can be varied. The tubular members in one of the embodiments are composed of two substantially symmetrical sections that are removably latched to each other for storage volumetric efficiency.
