Abstract

Water-gun Target Game and Apparatus in which a direct-current electrical water-presence detector, supported by or worn on an outer garment, is the bull's-eye. A hit by the water jet initiates action by a direct electrical effect, such as a resistance change, ordering responses by switching, sound or visual signaling, and scoring devices. A water-level sensor option initiates a steady signal after a succession of hits or a strong continuous hit. A single shunt option can be used to prevent false triggering. An absorption option disposes of received water, allowing repetitious operation. A tank for the water level sensor has a discharge stopper, which when removed, opens a power source circuit and inhibits any response. The object of the game is to project the jet stream of the water gun on to the target, making one or repetitious hits on the apparatus-bearer's bull's-eye. Counter-circuitry provides digital visual scoring.
