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.
Claim 2
Dependent 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.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
The model vehicle set forth in claim 1 wherein: said source of water comprises a reservoir mounted on board said vehicle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
The model vehicle set forth in claim 1 wherein: said vehicle movement means comprises a second D.C. motor and a battery.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 56 words
The model vehicle set forth in claim 1 wherein: said piston actuated cylinder pump comprises a hand movable piston for charging said cylinder pump, and a value means connected to said cylinder pump and actuated by said first signal for receiving water under pressure from said cylinder pump for movement through and out of said cannon.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 35 words
The model vehicle set forth in claim 1 wherein: said water cannon is pivotally mounted on said vehicle, and a second control means mounted on board said vehicle for controlling pivotal movement of said cannon.
