Title:
Amusement device
Abstract:
An amusement device including a transparent enclosure which is filled with a fluid such as water and having one or more goals within the enclosure. Also within the enclosure are a plurality of objects having a specific gravity greater than that of the fluid. Through the base of the enclosure protrudes one end of a tube, the other end thereof being attached to a bellows-like pump. The tube and pump are also filled with the fluid. The player, by actuating the pump forces the fluid through the tube into the enclosure, the resulting movement of the fluid causing the objects within the enclosure to travel upwardly until the player releases the button and/or substantially all of the fluid has been forced from the pump, at which time each of the propelled objects begins to sink and is either caught by one of the goals, falls into a default trap, or descends back to a position from which the player can again cause it to be projected upwardly for another attempt to score a goal.
