Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A model vehicle for generating a stream or burst of water under control of a remote transmitter transmitting radio signals to a receiver on board the vehicle comprising: vehicle movement means featuring a drive train and propulsion motor an on-board container being a source of water, a piston actuated cylinder pump comprising a piston and piston rod mounted on board the model vehicle, a water cannon mounted on said vehicle, pipe means for interconnecting said piston actuated cylinder pump with said cannon and said source of water, a transmitter for transmitting radio signals to said vehicle, a receiver mounted on board said vehicle for receiving a first signal from said transmitter, motor means mounted on said vehicle and actuated by said first signal for actuating said piston and piston rod to disperse a stream or burst of water from said source through said cannon, said motor means comprising a D.C. motor connected through a drive means to said piston actuated cylinder, and a first control means mounted on board said vehicle for receiving a second signal from said transmitter for controlling the vehicle movement means of said vehicle.
