Abstract

A ground level water toy that can be connected to a garden hose and releases water when a player pushes down one preselected control member from a number of control members extending from the toy. The toy has a housing with an inlet that can be coupled to the garden hose, an outlet that can splash the players with water, and an inner fluid passage that provides fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet. The flow of water is controlled by a valve within the housing. The toy has a trigger which is coupled to the valve by a shaft assembly. The trigger normally maintains the shaft assembly in a down position, so that the valve is closed. When the trigger is activated, the shaft moves to an up position, which opens the valve and allows water to flow from the housing outlet. The toy has a plurality of control members that extend from the housing and are adapted to be moved between a first position and a second position. One of the control members is aligned with the trigger, so that when the control member is moved into the second position, the trigger is depressed and the shaft assembly is allowed to move into the up position.
