WATER CANNON TOY WITH CLEAN-OUT CONNECTION
First Claim
1. A water cannon toy comprising:
- (a) an outer tube having an open proximal end, an open distal end, an interior and an exterior;
(b) an inner tube disposed in slideable, telescoping fashion within the outer tube, the inner tube having a proximal end, a distal end, an interior and an exterior;
(c) a plunger disposed at the distal end of the inner tube, the plunger being sized and dimensioned to remain in contact with the outer tube and to substantially prevent the leakage of liquid from the interior of the distal end of the outer tube to the exterior of the distal end of the inner tube; and
(d) an inner tube retainer attached to the proximal end of the outer tube, the inner tube retainer having (i) a locked position wherein the distal end of the inner tube is prevented from exiting the proximal end of the outer tube, and (ii) an unlocked position wherein the distal end of the inner tube is free to exit from the proximal end of the outer tube, the inner tube retainer being capable of alternatively transitioning between the locked position and the unlocked position by hand without the need for use of tools.

Abstract
A water cannon toy includes (a) an outer tube having an open proximal end, an open distal end, an interior and an exterior, (b) an inner tube disposed in slideable, telescoping fashion within the outer tube, the inner tube having a proximal end, a distal end, an interior and an exterior, (c) a plunger disposed at the distal end of the internal tube, the plunger being sized and dimensioned to remain in contact with the outer tube and to substantially prevent the leakage of liquid from the interior of the distal end of the outer tube to the exterior of the distal end of the inner tube, (d) an inner tube retainer attached to the proximal end of the outer tube. The inner tube retainer has (i) a locked position wherein the distal end of the inner tube is prevented from exiting the proximal end of the outer tube, and (ii) an unlocked position wherein the distal end of the inner tube is free to exit from the proximal end of the outer tube, the inner tube retainer being capable of alternatively transitioning between the locked position and the unlocked position by hand without the need for use of tools.
