Liquid filled amusement device with external extensions

Abstract

A novelty device that has an elongated torical encasement of flexible material that defines a central sleeve. A volume of liquid is contained within the encasement. A least one external accessory is provided that is attached to the encasement. When the point of attachment is on the exterior of the device, the external accessory extends away from the device. However, when the point of attachment rotates within the central sleeve section, the external accessory can be hidden from view. Thus, by selectively exposing and hiding the external accessory, the appearance of the device can be selectively altered and the device can appear to transform between two distinct appearances.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A novelty device comprising: 
 an elongated torical encasement that defines a central sleeve of a predetermined length, wherein said encasement is filled with mostly liquid; and    at least one external accessory affixed to said encasement.    
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said external accessory extends from said encasement by a first length, wherein said first length is no greater than said predetermined length of said central sleeve.  
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said external accessory includes a ring that is affixed to said encasement and extensions that extend outwardly from said ring.  
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of external accessories are affixed to said encasement at different points.  
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said external accessories are selected from a group consisting of tentacles, arms, legs and wings.  
     
     
         6 . A novelty device comprising: 
 an elongated torical encasement having an external cylindrical section and an internal central sleeve section that are continuous, wherein said internal central sleeve section extends through said external cylindrical section;    a volume of liquid contained within said encasement;    at least one external accessory affixed to said encasement.    
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein each said external accessory is affixed to said encasement at a particular point, wherein said external accessory contains an extension that extends away from said encasement when that particular point is on said external cylindrical section.  
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein said external accessory extends from said encasement by a first length, wherein said first length is no greater than said central sleeve.  
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein said external accessory includes a ring that is affixed to said encasement and extensions that extend outwardly from said ring.  
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein a plurality of external accessories are affixed to said encasement at different points.  
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein said external accessories are selected from a group consisting of tentacles, arms, legs and wings.  
     
     
         12 . The method of selectively changing the appearance of a novelty toy, comprising the steps of: 
 providing an elongated torical encasement that defines a central sleeve of a predetermined length, wherein said encasement is filled with mostly liquid;    attaching an extension accessory to said encasement;    selectively moving said encasement between a first position, where said extension accessory is contained within said central sleeve and a second position where said extension accessory is not hidden within said central sleeve.    
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 12 , wherein said external accessory extends from said encasement by a first length, wherein said first length is no greater than said central sleeve.  
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 12 , wherein said external accessory includes a ring that is affixed to said encasement and extensions that extend outwardly from said ring.  
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 12 , wherein a plurality of external accessories are affixed to said encasement at different points.  
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 12 , wherein said external accessory is selected from a group consisting of tentacles, arms, legs and wings.
