A slide is provided with a sliding surface along which a person may slide. The slide includes a bridging structure spanning the sliding surface and a valve mounted to the bridging structure and coupled to a source of water. A spray nozzle is selectively coupled through the valve to the water source. The spray nozzle is mounted to the bridging structure to spray water toward the sliding surface when the valve couples the nozzle to the water source. A trigger hangs from the bridging structure adjacent the sliding surface and controls the valve to direct water to the spray nozzle when the trigger is contacted and displaced by the user. The nozzle sprays water onto the user as the user activates the trigger by sliding under the bridging structure.

Sled construction with pontoons

A bubble-blowing apparatus for use in blowing bubbles from bubble solution may be provided with a bubble solution container capable of holding a volume of bubble solution and having a rounded bottom surface and a container side wall that at least partially defines an interior volume. The container may have a weight distribution, when the internal volume of the container is at least partially filled with bubble solution, that causes the container to automatically move to an upright position from a tilted position angularly displaced from the upright position. The apparatus may also be provided with a cap member that is capable of being attached to the bubble solution container and a bubble wand having a bubble-blowing orifice disposed therein.

Bubble tumbler

A bubble-blowing apparatus that may simultaneously produce a plurality of bubble streams from liquid bubble solution is provided with a housing, a rotatable fan associated with the housing, an electric motor operatively coupled to rotatably drive the fan, a battery power source coupled to provide electric power to the motor, an airflow-directing member coupled to the housing that causes air blown by rotation of the fan to be directed predominantly to a peripheral area, and a plurality of bubble-forming tubes operatively coupled to the airflow-directing member at a plurality of points in the peripheral area. Each of the bubble-forming tubes is capable of generating a stream of bubbles and may include a hollow central portion, a base portion, and an end portion that is spaced from the base portion by a distance in a direction parallel to the central diameters of the bubble-forming tubes.

Apparatus for blowing streams of bubbles

A lightweight bat with a pressurized striking portion and a separate handle portion.

Pressurized bat

A hockey stick is provided with an elongate handle portion and a blade portion coupled to the handle portion. The blade portion holds an impact surface designed to strike a ball or puck when the stick is swung at the ball or puck. The impact surface, blade portion and handle all cooperate to produce a drum-like tone when the ball or is struck. The blade portion includes front and back sections that mate and hold the impact surface therebetween. The front section is provided with a tongue that mates with a groove on the back section and the impact surface has a channel that is held in between the tongue and groove. When the front and back sections are assembled together, the impact surface is tensioned by the tongue and groove to make the impact surface an audibly vibratory member. The assembled front and back sections and the handle portion are hollow within to augment the sound produced by the impact surface. The front and back sections include beveled edges that guide the ball or puck toward the impact surface when the sections strike the ball or puck.

Sound-producing hockey stick

A golf club is provided with an elongate shaft portion and a club head coupled to the shaft portion. The club head holds an impact surface designed to strike a ball when the club is swung at the ball. The impact surface, club head and shaft all cooperate to produce a drum-like tone when the ball is struck. The club head includes front face with a platform and a clamp that mate and hold the impact surface therebetween. The platform is provided with a raised ridge or brace that is surrounded by the clamp. When the platform and clamp are assembled together, the impact surface is tensioned by the brace to make the impact surface an audibly vibratory member. The club head is hollow within to augment the sound produced by the impact surface and has a plurality of ports to an interior cavity to further augment the sound.
