Rapid Refill System for a Toy Water Gun

Abstract

A water gun assembly having a housing with an internal water reservoir. Multiple access opening lead through the housing and into the internal reservoir. The access openings are covered by a cover element. The cover element can be moved relative the housing between a closed configuration and an open configuration. In the closed configuration, the cover element obstructs the access openings. In the open configuration, the cover element does not obstruct the access openings, therein enabling the water reservoir to be rapidly refilled with water.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A toy water gun, comprising:
 a housing containing an internal reservoir, wherein said housing defines a plurality of openings that enable water to flow into said internal reservoir when said housing is at least partially submerged;   a cover element that engages said housing and is movable on said housing between an open configuration and a closed configuration, wherein said cover element obstructs said plurality of openings when in said closed configuration and does not obstruct said plurality of opening when in said closed configuration; and   a manually operated pumping mechanism that draws the water from said reservoir and propels the water from said housing when activated.
