Abstract
A comprehensive toy camping set which includes a convertible flashlight to lantern combination, a cooking utensil for holding cans of food and preventing the same from spilling, an electrically operated simulated camp fire, a toy hatchet which is convertible into an imprinting member for making markings such as an animal's paw in the ground, a toy knife having a whistle in the handle thereof for producing an animal sound or the like, a toy gun which has a light transmitting scope device for projecting images therefrom, an electrically operated warning device, and a novel camping pack construction. The camping pack has a piston and cylinder air pump for delivering air under pressure to inflate air mattresses or the like. A periscope device also is mounted on the pack for movement between a retracted position substantially within the pack to an upwardly protruding position permitting visual observation therethrough. A sound amplification unit, including a speaker, microphone, and electrical amplifier also is mounted on the pack. The pack has a substantially rigid framework with a planar, removable front cover on which a map, or the like, may be positioned and worked upon when the cover is opened. A battery operated light device also is mounted on the pack for facilitating visual observation of the map, as well as providing means for projecting light through the periscope for signalling purposes.
