Abstract
Abstract In a bag flying-out toy, a foaming material including a plurality of foaming agents which generate gas at mixing thereof is accommodated in a gas-tight bag toy unit. An accommodating bag unit has its volume at swelling thereof, which is smaller than that of the bag toy unit at swelling thereof. The bag toy unit before swelling thereof is accommodated in a folded manner in the accommodating bag unit. The accommodating bag unit is ruptured at a swelling pressure of the bag toy unit due to the foaming material. Alternatively, the bag toy unit before swelling rests on a substrate. A tearing cover is provided for covering the bag toy unit on the substrate to fixedly mount the bag toy unit to the substrate. The tearing cover is torn off by a swelling pressure of the bag toy unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
An inflatable toy unit comprising: a gas-tight inflatable toy body; a foaming material including a plurality of foaming agents which generate gas upon mixing thereof, said foaming agents being disposed in said toy body separate from one another so as to be mixable by manual operation; a substrate for storing said toy body in an uninflated condition; a covering plate for covering said toy body when stored in said uninflated condition on said substrate and holding said toy body against said substrate, said cover being secured to said substrate for movement between a position covering said toy body when stored in said uninflated condition on said substrate and a position uncovering said toy body so that said toy body is capable of inflating upon generation of the gas; and a protective means arranged between said substrate and said covering plate for maintaining said substrate and said covering plate spaced one from the other and defining a space for said toy body therebetween when said covering platge covers said toy body in said uninflated condition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
174 words
An inflatable toy unit comprising: a gas-tight inflatable toy body; a foaming material including a plurality of foaming agents which generate gas upon mixing thereof, said foaming agents being disposed in said toy body separate from one another so as to be mixable by manual operation; a substrate for storing said toy body in an uninflated condition; a covering plate for covering said toy body when stored in said uninflated condition on said substrate and holding said toy body against said substrate, said cover being secured to said substrate for movement between a position covering said toy body when stored in said uninflated condition on said substrate and a position uncovering said toy body so that said toy body is capable of inflating upon generation of the gas; and a protective means arranged between said substrate and said covering plate for maintaining said substrate and said covering plate spaced one from the other and defining a space for said toy body therebetween when said covering platge covers said toy body in said uninflated condition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
An inflatable toy unit according to claim 1, wherein said protective means comprises a protective element having said walls defining an opening for receiving said toy body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
An inflatable toy unit according to claim 2, wherein said protective element is formed in a plate shape having an aperture defining said side walls.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
An inflatable toy unit according to claim 1, wherein said covering plate is secured to said substrate at their edge portions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
An inflatable toy unit according to claim 4, wherein said covering plate and said substrate are integrally formed and substantially rigid.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
An inflatable toy unit according to claim 1 wherein said inflatable toy body is made of double layer film comprising a polyethylene layer and a nylon layer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
174 words
An inflatable toy unit comprising: a gas-tight inflatable toy body; a foaming material including a plurality of foaming agents which generate gas upon mixing thereof, said foaming agents being disposed in said toy body separate from one another; a substrate for storing said toy in an uninflated condition; a cover for covering said toy body when stored in said uninflated condition on said substrate and holding said toy body against said substrate, said cover being secured to said substrate for movement between a position covering said toy body when stored in said uninflated condition on said substrate and a ruptured position uncovering said toy in response to inflation thereof upon generation of the gas; and including a protective element on said substrate and having side walls defining an opening for receiving said toy body, said cover overlying side toy body in said opeing, and a plate element overlying said cover and mounted for movement between a position overlying said cover and a position permitting the cover to rupture and said toy body to inflate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
174 words
An inflatable toy unit comprising: a gas-tight inflatable toy body; a foaming material including a plurality of foaming agents which generate gas upon mixing thereof, said foaming agents being disposed in said toy body separate from one another; a substrate for storing said toy in an uninflated condition; a cover for covering said toy body when stored in said uninflated condition on said substrate and holding said toy body against said substrate, said cover being secured to said substrate for movement between a position covering said toy body when stored in said uninflated condition on said substrate and a ruptured position uncovering said toy in response to inflation thereof upon generation of the gas; and including a protective element on said substrate and having side walls defining an opening for receiving said toy body, said cover overlying side toy body in said opeing, and a plate element overlying said cover and mounted for movement between a position overlying said cover and a position permitting the cover to rupture and said toy body to inflate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
The inflatable toy unit according to claim 7 wherein said foaming material includes a main agent and a secondary agent which are chemically reacted with each other to generate the gas.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
64 words
The inflatable toy unit according to claim 8 wherein said secondary agent is aqueous soluble, said toy body including a sealed bag formed of sheet material and into which said aqueous-soluble secondary agent is located, said sheet material being formed such that peripheral edges thereof are heat-sealed to form the sealed bag, said main agent being powder and disposed outside of said sealed bag.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
30 words
The inflatable toy unit according to claim 7 wherein said substrate, said toy body and said cover have length, width and depth dimensions to form a card-like toy suitable for
