Abstract
A squeeze toy has an outer body formed of generally resiliently deformable material which defines a main cavity. A portion of the body extends inwardly into the main cavity to form a receptacle. The receptacle includes a mouth which is dimensioned to enable a projectile to be inserted into and be supported by the receptacle. The receptacle has a configuration which normally causes an interference fit with the projectile to retain the projectile in the receptacle and prevent the receptacle from being removed through the mouth. The body of the squeeze toy can be deformed to cause a portion of the receptacle to be forced outward through the mouth and eject the projectile from the body.
