ABSTRACT:
A wheeled jet reaction toy including a wheeled vehicle adapted to carry an empty beverage can of the "pop top" type having an opening at one end. The vehicle is adapted to clamp the empty beverage container with its open "pop top" end facing rearwardly. An exhaust tube mounted on the vehicle communicates with the empty beverage container through the "pop top opening". An air pump is mounted on a launch pad and a nozzle is connected by a hose to the air pump with the nozzle extending into the exhaust tube when the vehicle is straddling the launch pad so that air under pressure can be transmitted by the pump through the exhaust tube and into the beverage container. The vehicle containing the beverage container is held in position at the launch pad by a guillotine type quick release mechanism which engages the end of the exhaust tube and holds it against a seal surrounding the nozzle. A check valve is provided in the nozzle to prevent the escape of air from the beverage container until the vehicle is released from the launch pad under the propulsion force of the escaping compressed air. In this embodiment of the invention, the vehicle is wheeled and an over center clamping mechanism is provided to restrain the beverage container in the vehicle.
