mixture out of said article.
" DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "
This invention is directed to an article for dispensing a sand - water
mixture.
A mesh or filter at the neck of the bottle ensures nothing too big to pass
through
the hole in the cap will enter the bottle and obstruct sand flow. Let it be
known
that the filter may be positioned anywhere throughout the bottle depending on
if
sand is being poured from the top or bottom of bottle. It can also be made
detachable or a complete separate entity for sifting sand. Any size or shape
of
bottle can be used to obtain the same effect but should be made of plastic or
similar pliable material that can be squeezed to force sand through the hole
in
the cap. A smaller bottle can accomodate a smaller child. The cap can be made
to
snap, clip, or screw on. Having a bigger or smaller hole will guage the
different
size drips. The shape of the hole can also be made in different shapes, such
as
a star, circle, square, etc. The bottle can also be of different shapes and
sizes,
such as, cylindrical, round, oval, or different cartoon figures. Experimenting
with too big or too small holes proved futile and did not create the desired
effect or got clogged. also a tube at the nose of the bottle proved no
significant
benefit. The cap can also be secured as one, to the bottle and the sand can be
filled through the hole in the cap or the bottom of the bottle can be
removable
to load sand more easily. When the bottle is filled with sand and water as
described, " The Sand Slurpee " is then turned over so the hole is fa~:ing
down.
By lightly squeezing the body of the sand slurpee, sand is forced through the
hole
in the cap to make wonderful mountain like peaks.
