Abstract
Toy rocket launcher adapted for refueling and for remotely triggering the launch of a rocket positioned thereon. The launcher comprises a body having a recessed platform for receiving the end of the nozzle of a toy rocket; a channel for refueling, communicating between the exterior of the body and the surface of the platform, and; a resilient, hemispherical, sealing member, positioned on the platform, which has an opening communicating with the channel and is adapted to sealingly engage the nozzle of the rocket when in position. A remotely releasable latch is controlled by a removable pin which, when manually extracted from a point remote from the launcher, releases the latch and triggers launching.
