Combination of a water gun and bow

Claim 2

A bow comprising: a fluid containing reservoir on said bow; a firing chamber in fluid communication with the reservoir and having an ejection opening; reciprocal plunger means mounted within the firing chamber for forcing water out through said ejection opening; and check valve means at the ejection opening and between the reservoir and firing chamber whereby the check valve means permits at least some of the fluid from the reservoir to enter the firing chamber when the plunger means is moved by an external force in one direction to a cocked position and causes said fluid to be expelled through the ejection opening when the plunger means is moved in an opposite direction.

Claim 3

The bow of claim 1 wherein the firing chamber is an elongated cylinder device, the plunger comprises a piston and an elongated shaft, and biasing means to urge the plunger means toward the ejection opening to eject a ''''stream'''' of water therethrough when the plunger means and shaft are released from said cocked position and said piston means is caused to move by an external force.

Claim 4

The bow of claim 2 wherein the reservoir is generally vertical and transverse with respect to the firing chamber when the device is in normal firing position, with portions of the reservoir extending above and below said chamber.

Claim 5

The bow of claim 3 wherein the reservoir is formed around the firing chamber and secured thereto, said firing chamber being generally normal to the longitudinal centerline of the bow, the shaft being slidably received in the firing chamber and projecting from the belly side of the bow, said shaft simulating an arrow, said biasing means comprising a string attached to its free ends to the respective free ends of said bow.

Claim 6

A bow comprising: a generally hollow, normally vertical, bow hand grip portion grasping by a the user, said hand grip portion having a reservoir for water or other fluid; a normally horizontal firing chamber secured to the bow in the normal position of an arrow and in fluid communication with the reservoir, with an ejection opening at one end thereof; reciprocal plunger means slidably within the firing chamber for forcing water out through said ejection opening, said plunger means including a shaft portion, said shaft portion simulating an arrow; a string means secured to the ends of the bow and engageable with the shaft portion to bias the plunger means toward the ejection opening; and check valve means at the ejection opening and between the reservoir and firing chamber whereby the check valve means permits at least some of the fluid from the reservoir to enter the firing chamber when the plunger means and shaft portion are moved rearwardly against the biasing of said string means and causing water to be expelled through the ejection opening when the plunger means and shaft portion are released and moved in an opposite direction under the biasing force of the string means.

Claim 7

A bow comprising: a generally hollow, normally vertical, bow hand grip portion grasping by a the user, said hand grip portion having a reservoir for water or other fluid; a normally horizontal firing chamber secured to the bow in the normal position of an arrow and in fluid communication with the reservoir, with an ejection opening at one end thereof; reciprocal plunger means slidably within the firing chamber for forcing water out through said ejection opening, said plunger means including a shaft portion, said shaft portion simulating an arrow; a string means secured to the ends of the bow and engageable with the shaft portion to bias the plunger means toward the ejection opening; and check valve means at the ejection opening and between the reservoir and firing chamber whereby the check valve means permits at least some of the fluid from the reservoir to enter the firing chamber when the plunger means and shaft portion are moved rearwardly against the biasing of said string means and causing water to be expelled through the ejection opening when the plunger means and shaft portion are released and moved in an opposite direction under the biasing force of the string means.

Claim 8

A bow, comprising: an elongated, normally horizontal, firing chamber with a fluid ejection opening on one end, a movable plunger means slidably received within the firing chamber for forcing fluid out one end of the chamber, said plunger means having a portion thereof projecting from the firing chamber remote from said fluid ejection opening; a normally vertical simulated bow portion connected to the arrow portion for hand grasping by a user; aNd biasing means comprising a string secured generally at the outer ends of the bow and engageable with the projecting portion of the plunger means to move the plunger means toward the ejection opening thereby forcing the fluid through the ejection opening in the form of a ''''stream.''''

Claim 9

A bow, comprising: an elongated, normally horizontal, firing chamber with a fluid ejection opening on one end, a movable plunger means slidably received within the firing chamber for forcing fluid out one end of the chamber, said plunger means having a portion thereof projecting from the firing chamber remote from said fluid ejection opening; a normally vertical simulated bow portion connected to the arrow portion for hand grasping by a user; aNd biasing means comprising a string secured generally at the outer ends of the bow and engageable with the projecting portion of the plunger means to move the plunger means toward the ejection opening thereby forcing the fluid through the ejection opening in the form of a ''''stream.''''
