ABSTRACT:
A new aquatic toy comprises, an improved toy periscope (20) and a diving mask (110). The diving mask and the toy periscope can be either removably connected or integrally formed. The periscope comprises a top mirror (29), a bottom mirror (70), a slanted window (48), a V-shaped housing (22), and a plurality of suction cups (90) at a support top (84) located along the shortest arm thereof. The periscope housing further comprises suitable handles (95). When the suction cups are displaced along suitably positioned slits (89), the periscope can be coupled to substantially any mask. Thereby, the person using the periscope mask can see events above the water surface while his or her head is located substantially underwater. The upper housing (24) functions as an inlet opening for light rays and water shots to enter therein. A water receptacle (100) is attached to the upper housing so that, when it becomes full, water begins to cover the slanted window until the view is fully distorted. Alternatively, the receptacle may function as a water supply for suitable streaming means. When the underwater housing (56) is a closed structure, the periscope is partially submersible. Otherewise, the periscope is fully submersible. A slanted transparent window (48) and an external conduit (108B) connecting the upper housing to the underwater housing, allow suitable projectiles to progressively impair visibility in a staggered manner. The toy can be used in either destroyer or U-boat modes for sea battle games.
