Abstract
Abstract A toy which expels a liquid from the wrist area of a glove by applying pressure to the palm portion of the glove has a compressible bulb disposed at the palm portion of the glove and connected to a tube which extends into an aperture provided in a gauntlet provided on the glove. The tube terminates in a nozzle directed toward the palm portion of the glove so as to spray the liquid onto the hand of a person grasping the user's glove hand, or toward an object upon the user's making a fist with the glove hand. A valve connected to the compressible bulb is provided in the palm portion of the glove for permitting refilling of the bulb with the medium to be sprayed.
