Plan C received 1 granted patent this quarter in Hardware (1).
The patent covers a water-filled handheld game device featuring a flexible, transparent play field where users squeeze pump bulbs to create liquid jets that propel game pieces across the surface. This design combines tactile interaction with fluid dynamics to create an aquatic puzzle toy experience.
The Hardware patent reimagines the traditional water-filled handheld game by replacing the rigid plastic shell with a soft, squeezable pouch. Players use built-in pump bulbs to shoot jets of water that push small game pieces around inside the transparent chamber, solving puzzles or completing challenges through hydraulic manipulation. The flexible construction allows the device to fold or compress for portability while supporting a larger play area than rigid designs, and users can also press directly on the transparent front surface to deform the play field and influence piece movement through touch.
