Claims
- 1. A toy water device comprising:a main portion having a generally spherical support and an plurality of liquid jets mounted to said support, said liquid jets being mounted relative to said spherical support so that liquid streams emanating from said liquid jets are oriented generally tangential to said spherical support so as to impart a force which is generally tangential to said spherical support; an elongated, flexible tubing in fluid communication with said plurality of liquid jets and coupleable to a pressurized liquid supply, whereby the expulsion of water from the jets creates a tangential moving force upon the spherical support.
- 2. The toy water device of claim 1 wherein said plurality of liquid jets are mounted to said spherical support in an annular array.
- 3. The toy water device of claim 1 further comprising a base in fluid communication with said elongated tubing opposite said main portion.
- 4. The toy water device of claim 3 wherein said base includes a rotatable joint, whereby the rotatable joint allows for rotary movement of said elongated tubing relative to said base.
- 5. The toy water device of claim 1 wherein said plurality of liquid jets are coupled in fluid communication to a central hub coupled to said spherical support.
- 6. The toy water device of claim 5 wherein said central hub includes a rotatable joint, whereby the rotatable joint allows for rotary movement of said elongated tubing relative to said spherical support.
- 7. The toy water device of claim 6 further comprising a base in fluid communication with said elongated tubing opposite said support.
- 8. The toy water device of claim 7 wherein said base includes a rotatable joint, whereby the rotatable joint allows for rotary movement of said elongated tubing.
- 9. A toy water device comprising:a main portion having a support and an plurality of liquid jets having liquid exit openings oriented to generate liquid streams oriented generally tangentially to said support; an elongated, flexible tubing in fluid communication with said plurality of liquid jets and coupleable to a pressurized liquid supply, whereby the expulsion of water from the jets creates a tangential moving force upon spherical support.
- 10. The toy water device of claim 9 wherein said plurality of liquid jets are mounted to said support in an annular array.
- 11. The toy water device of claim 9 further comprising a base in fluid communication with said elongated tubing opposite said main portion.
- 12. The toy water device of claim 11 wherein said base includes a rotatable joint, whereby the rotatable joint allows for rotary movement of said elongated tubing relative to said base.
- 13. The toy water device of claim 11 wherein said plurality of liquid jets are coupled in fluid communication to a central hub coupled to said main portion.
- 14. The toy water device of claim 13 wherein said central hub includes a rotatable joint, whereby the rotatable joint allows for rotary movement of said elongated tubing relative to said support.
- 15. The toy water device of claim 14 further comprising a base in fluid communication with said elongated tubing opposite said support.
- 16. The toy water device of claim 15 wherein said base includes a rotatable joint, whereby the rotatable joint allows for rotary movement of said elongated tubing.
