Abstract

Disclosed is a hovercraft toy including: a body, which includes, a fan for sending air in order to allow the body to hover and propel; a motor for rotationally driving the fan; an accumulator battery for supplying electric power to the motor; a base for supporting the fan, the motor and the battery at a top thereof; and a skirt arranged on a peripheral part of a bottom part of the base and formed in a shape of bag to be expandable and contractable, wherein the base includes an input terminal on an under surface thereof, the terminal being connectable to an external power source for charging the battery, and the skirt is formed to have an opening on an under surface thereof so as to allow the input terminal to be exposed downwardly.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A hovercraft toy comprising:
 a body, which includes,
 a fan for sending air in order to allow the body to hover and propel; 
 a motor for rotationally driving the fan; 
 an accumulator battery for supplying electric power to the motor; 
 a base for supporting the fan, the motor and the battery at a top thereof; and 
 a skirt arranged on a peripheral part of a bottom part of the base and formed in a shape of bag to be expandable and contractable, 
 wherein the base includes an input terminal on an under surface thereof, the terminal being connectable to an external power source for charging the battery, and 
 the skirt is formed to have an opening on an under surface thereof so as to allow the input terminal to be exposed downwardly. 
   
   
   
       2 . The hovercraft toy according to  claim 1 , further comprising;
 a battery charger as the external power source provided separately from the body, the battery charger including
 an output terminal for charging the battery when the output terminal is touched to the input terminal, 
   wherein the output terminal is provided on an upper surface of the battery charger on which a bottom face of the body is to be placed.   
   
   
       3 . The hovercraft toy according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the battery charger includes a concave portion to be fit to the periphery part of the bottom part of the body, and   the output terminal is formed to be touched to the input terminal when the body is fit to the concave portion.   
   
   
       4 . The hovercraft toy according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the battery charger is a remote controller for remote controlling the body.   
   
   
       5 . The hovercraft toy according to  claim 2 , wherein
 each of the input terminal and the output terminal is composed of a magnet so that a magnetic attractive force interacts therebetween.   
   
   
       6 . The hovercraft toy according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the accumulator battery includes a lithium polymer battery or a gold capacitor.   
   
   
       7 . The hovercraft toy according to  claim 1 , wherein
