Abstract
A remote controlled toy is adapted to accept and operate pre-pressurized conventional aerosol containers of differing shape and dimension by engaging the neck of the aerosol container, and by compressing together a muzzle and the neck of such a container to depress the neck and permit material to exit under pressure from the container outwardly through said neck.
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending application Ser. No. 10/839,552, filed May 5, 2004, which is a continuation-in-part of patent application Ser. No. 60/468,418, filed May 7, 2003.
- This invention relates to toys, and more particularly, to motorized toys such as cars, boat, planes, and action figures that are remotely controlled.
- More particularly, the invention relates to a toy that enables a conventional aerosol can to be remotely operated.
- Manually operated pre-pressurized aerosol cans are well known. A conventional aerosol can 10 is illustrated in
FIG. 10 and includeshollow canister 80 charged with a pressurizedgas 76 and liquid orother contents 77. Dip tube 78 extends to the bottom ofcanister 80. Nozzle 71 is slidably removably mounted onhollow neck 73 ofvalve assembly 72.Valve assembly 72 is mounted in and operatively associated withfixed seal assembly 75.Spring 81 is mounted insideseal assembly 75 andbiases valve assembly 72 in a normal closed position with the bottom ofvalve assembly 72 pressing against thebottom surface 82 of the top ofcanister 80. Whenvalve assembly 72 is in the position illustrated inFIG. 10 ,port 74 is housed inside the top ofseal assembly 75 andliquid 77 is prevented from flowing intoport 74 and up and out throughneck 73 andnozzle 71. Depressingnozzle 71 downwardly in the direction of arrow T downwardly displacesvalve assembly 72 in the direction of arrow T and movesport 74 at least partially into the larger hollow conical portion ofseal assembly 75 such thatliquid 77 can flow under pressure through dip tube 78, intoseal assembly 75, into valve assembly 72 (through port 74), and out throughnozzle 71. - Pre-pressurized aerosol cans or other pre-pressurized cartridges that dispense polymer or other material in a stream are known. When the nozzle of such cans is depressed, the pressurized gas in the aerosol can causes a stream of polymer material to shoot out from the can through an opening in the
neck 73 of thevalve assembly 72 of the nozzle. After the polymer material is dispensed it can harden. For example, pre-pressurized canisters of polyurethane foam can be purchased at HOME DEPOT™ or other stores that sell construction material. After the polyurethane foam is dispensed from the pre-pressurized cannister, the foam hardens. - Another polymer or polymer-like material that is dispensed from a pre-pressurized canister is SILLY STRING™. SILLY STRING was first introduced to the gag-gift market over thirty-five years ago, in 1969 by Julius Samann, Ltd. SILLY STRING is non-toxic, non-flammable, and free of chlorofluorocarbons. Apparently only the manufacturer knows the exact ingredients of SILLY STRING.
- One use of SILLY STRING comprises mounting a pressurized canister on a SPIDER MAN WEB BLASTER™ glove apparatus worn on the hand. The canister is, as is common with aerosol cans, manually actuated. Manual activation of the canister is accomplished by manually depressing a lever incorporated in the SPIDER MAN™ and SILLY STRING is dispensed from the canister when the user presses a lever that is positioned in the palm of the user. As is noted at the www.shopireland.ie/toys/detail web site, one disadvantage of the SPIDER MAN glove apparatus is that conventional aerosol cans of the type shown in
FIG. 10 can not be utilized. In addition, glove apparatus, while a popular toy, requires that the SPIDER MAN glove apparatus be worn on the hand to operate an aerosol can, requires manual operation of an aerosol can, and limits the discharge direction to directions in which the user is pointing his arm and hand. - Accordingly, it would desirable to provide a improved toy that would not require, in conventional fashion, manual operation of an aerosol can, that could utilize conventional aerosol cans, that could operate an aerosol can at locations remote from the user, and that would not correlate the direction of discharge with the position of the user's hands and arms.
- Therefore, it is a principal object of the invention to provide an improved toy.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an improved toy that can utilize and discharge a conventional aerosol can at selected locations remote from a user.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a toy for operating a conventional pre-pressurized aerosol can without requiring manual operation of the can valve.
- These and other, further and more specific objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those of skill in the art from the following detailed description thereof, taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:

- Turning now the drawings, which depict the presently preferred embodiments of the invention for the purpose of illustration thereof, and not by way of limitation of the invention, and in which like characters refer to corresponding elements throughout the several views, the
toy vehicle 10 ofFIG. 1 includes areplica 12 of an action figure such as SPIDERMAN™, SUPERMAN™, or other action figure. Although not visible inFIG. 1 (orFIGS. 2, 3 ), a pre-pressurized self-containedaerosal cartridge 32 is incorporated in action figure 12 along with apparatus that, in the same manner described below with respect to FIGS. 7 to 9 and 11, permits the cartridge(s) 32 to be remotely operated to dispense stream material from cartridge(s) 32 throughopenings 15 in thewrists 16 of actionfigure 12 . In the event action figure 12 is the comic book character SPIDERMAN, stream 11 of material is intended to imitate the “web” material that SPIDERMAN produces. - As used herein, the term “vehicle” means all forms of model cars, trucks, airplanes, boats, and the like. The term action figure means all forms of model figures, including human, animal, robot and the like, and includes transformable figures. Although the combination of an action figure and vehicle is a preferred embodiment of the invention, this combination is not necessary to practice the invention. A vehicle may utilized without an action figure, and visa versa. The vehicles in
FIGS. 5 and 6 do not include an action figure. The action figure ofFIG. 3 does not include a vehicle. - In
FIG. 7 , motive power for powering and turningvehicle 10 and for actuatingcartridge 32 is provided by one ormore motors motor 50 can be connected to an axle (not visible) on which one ormore wheels more batteries 28 or another power source provide power for motor(s) 50, as well as forreceiver 26 andservo motor 40.Receiver 26 receivessignals 58 from atransmitter 51 via anantenna 24.Transmitter 51 includes controls for 52 adjusting the speed ofvehicle 10, for 53 turning the vehicle, and 55 for actuatingcartridge 32.Control 52 is moved in the direction of arrows F to adjust vehicle speed.Control 53 is moved in the direction of arrows G to turnwheels 13 and, consequently, to turn the vehicle. Apparatus for turningwheels 13 is well known and is, although not visible inFIG. 7 , incorporated invehicle 10.Button 55 is depressed in the direction of arrow H to actuatecartridge 32 to dispense astream 11 of material. Whenbutton 55 is released,cartridge 32 is deactivated so that astream 11 of material is not produced. Technology for operating remote controlled vehicles is well known in the art. Any desired form and shape and dimension of remote control can be utilized, including, but not limited to, infrared, ultrasonic, or hard wire control units. -
Stream dispensing mechanism 30 is mounted onbody 14 ofvehicle 10 and is remotely operated withtransmitter 51.Mechanism 30 includesnozzle 34.Nozzle 34interconnects outlet 36 and muzzle 62 ofgun 60. The shape and dimension and functioning ofcartridge 32 andremote control device 51 can be varied as desired. Signals transmitted fromtransmitter 51 can comprise infrared or ultrasonic signals, can be via hard wire, etc. Cartridge 32 (and 32A) preferably comprises a conventional aerosol can of the type illustrated inFIG. 10 , but withnozzle 71 removed.Nozzle 71 ordinarily can be slid offneck 73 to preparecartridge 32 for use invehicle 10. As indicated inFIGS. 7 and 9 , any desired construction can be utilized in combination withneck 73 to depressneck 73 to release material fromcartridge 32 throughneck 73. Or a special canister valve assembly different from that ofFIG. 10 can, if desired, be designed and constructed and utilized to store and release under pressure stream material. - The embodiments of the invention illustrated in
FIGS. 1, 5 , 7 each include an action figure(s) 12 orgun 60 that is stored, completely or partially, in avehicle 10. The action figure 12 andgun 60 move between a stored and deployed position. InFIGS. 1 and 5 the action figure 12 orgun 60 are deployed. InFIG. 7 thegun 60 is in the stored position in cavity 17 in thebody 14 ofvehicle 10. - In
FIG. 7 ,gun 60 includes astorage tray 46 that is mounted onbody 14 bypin 20.Tray 46 pivots aboutpin 20.Cartridge 32 nests intray 46. InFIG. 7 , doors 18 (not visible inFIG. 7 ) are closed and retaingun 60 in the stored position. Whendoors 18 are manually or mechanically opened to the position shown inFIG. 5 ,spring 37 presses againsttray 46 and causestray 46 to pivot aboutpin 20 such that the back oftray 46 moves downwardly in the direction of arrow U (FIG. 7 ) and the forward portion ofgun 60 moves upwardly to the position shown inFIG. 5 . -
Depressing button 55causes transmitter 51 to send asignal 58 toantenna 24 andreceiver 26. Whenreceiver 26 receives the signal,receiver 26 generates signals toservo motor 40 that causemotor 40 to rotatearm 70 aboutpivot point 42 such that one end ofarm 70 moves downwardly in the direction of arrow A and the other end ofarm 70 moves upwardly in the direction or arrow B. The end ofarm 70 moving upwardly in the direction of arrow B is pivotally attached bypin 31 to end 71 of L-shapedarm 73 such thatend 71 pivots aboutpin 45 and also moves upwardly in the direction of arrow B. When end 71 moves upwardly in the direction of arrow B, forkedarm 44 moves in the direction of arrow C (FIG. 8 ) and presses against and depresses end 33 ofcartridge 32. Depressingend 33 witharm 44 causes astream 11 of material to flow out fromcartridge 32 throughopening 57. When button 55 (FIG. 7A ) is released, the foregoing process is reversed andarm 44 releases end 33 and returns to the normal operative position illustrated inFIG. 7 . Whenend 33 is released, the flow ofstream 11 out ofcartridge 32 ceases.Outlet 36 is omitted fromFIG. 8 for the sake of clarity.Outlet 36 andnozzle 34 and muzzle 62 each include a central aperture through which stream 11 travels whenend 33 is depressed. - In an alternate embodiment of the invention, when end 71 moves upwardly in the direction of arrow B, the distal end of forked
arm 44 presses againstlip 38 of member 39 (and does not press against end 33). Whenarm 44 presses againstlip 38,arm 39—and therefore muzzle 62 andnozzle 34—is pressed in the direction of arrow D, depressingoutlet 36 and end 33 to causestream 11 to flow throughoutlet 36,nozzle 34, andmuzzle 62. - Another embodiment of the invention is illustrated in
FIG. 9 . InFIG. 9 ,motors receiver 26,antenna 24, andbattery 28 are omitted for the sake of clarity.Vehicle 10 inFIG. 9 includes these components and is essentially equivalent to thevehicle 10 inFIG. 7 , except that pre-pressurized self-containedcartridge 32A has a conventional construction generally like the construction illustrated inFIG. 10 , andvalve neck 73A, andnozzle 63 replaceoutlet 36,nozzle 34, andmuzzle 62. Whenservo motor 40 is activated and displacesarm 70 in the manner described above, forkedarm 44 moves in the direction of arrow J and depresses circularouter surface 62 ofnozzle 63 in the direction of arrow J. Whennozzle 63 is depressed in the direction of arrow J,nozzle 63 contacts and depresses the distal end ofvalve neck 73A (and therefore depressesvalve neck 73A and the valve assembly incontainer 32A that is comparable tovalve assembly 72 inFIG. 10 ) in the direction of arrow J, allowing material insidecontainer 32A to escape under pressure through the valve assembly ofcontainer 32A in the same manner that material incontainer 80 escapes throughvalve assembly 72 whenneck 73A is depressed in the direction ofarrow T. Aperture 62A extending throughnozzle 63 is shaped and dimensioned both to permit material flowing out throughneck 73A to pass throughaperture 62A and to enable a portion ofnozzle 63 to contact, press against, and displace the outer circular edge or lip ofneck 73A, which circular edge or lip is comparable to edge 83 inFIG. 10 and circumscribes the opening that extends throughneck 73A, which opening extending throughneck 73A is comparable to opening orchannel 82 inFIG. 10 and comprises the opening through which material exitscontainer 32A under pressure. -
FIG. 11 illustrates an alternate embodiment of the invention which is comparable to the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 9 except that thenozzle 63 inFIG. 9 is replaced by thenozzle 63B and muzzle assembly described below. InFIG. 11 , thehollow neck 73A of conventional pre-pressurized self-containedaerosol cartridge 32A (which cartridge has the nozzle 71 (FIG. 10 ) removed) is engaged by a muzzle assembly including afirst member 62B and including acollar 85.Aperture 89 ofcollar 85 is shaped to engageneck 73A such that whencollar 85 andneck 73A are compressed against each other,neck 73A is depressed in the direction of arrow P to release under pressure fromcartridge 32A throughneck 73A foam material or other material incartridge 32A.Cartridge 32A includes bottom 90. -
Nozzle 63B includes a cylindrical base orflange 63D that slidably seats in cylindrical opening 62C formed infirst member 62B of the muzzle assembly.Nozzle 63B also includes internally threadedaperture 86 that receives externally threadedportion 88 ofcollar 85.Rotating nozzle 63B in the direction of arrow Y, or in the opposing direction, rotatesflange 63D in opening 62C, engages the threads onportion 88 ofcollar 85, and movescollar 85 in the directions indicated by arrows X inFIG. 11 . Movingcollar 85 in the directions indicated by arrows X increases or decreases the distance ofcollar 85 fromfoot 91 of cartridge support 46A (FIG. 9 ). This adjustability ofcollar 85 facilitates usingcartridges 32A of differing lengths in the remote controlledtoy 10 of the invention. - In
FIG. 9 ,nozzle 63 andneck 73A are compressed together to depressneck 73A to permit material to exit fromcartridge 32A outwardly throughneck 73A. This compression is accomplished, as earlier noted, by displacingarm 44 againstnozzle 63 to depressnozzle 63 againstneck 73A. Whenarm 44 depressesnozzle 63,foot 91 is contacting and preventing bottom 90 from moving in a direction away fromnozzle 63. In the alternative,nozzle 63 can be maintained in fixed position ontoy 10 while anarm 44 or other member generates a force against bottom 90 in the direction indicated by arrow Z to compress togetherneck 73A andnozzle 63 to depressneck 73A and allow material to exitcartridge 32A throughneck 73A. - Having described the presently preferred embodiments and best mode of the invention in such terms as to enable those of skill in the art to understand and practice the invention,
