Section 112, Paragraph 6. In particular, the use of “step of” in the claims herein is not intended to invoke the provisions of 35 U.S.C.Section 112, Paragraph 6. - The toy flying propeller has a unique design and shape, along with a carefully-positioned sound-emitting device to create a sound when the toy flying propeller is flying through the air. The
toy flying propeller 100, as illustrated inFIG. 1 , includes ahub 102 with acentral axis 104 about which thetoy flying propeller 100 rotates. A plurality ofblades 106 radially extend from thehub 102 and form anouter edge 108, which is connected with anouter ring 110 that circumferentially surrounds theblades 106. Attached with a surface of theblades 106 are a plurality of sound-emitting devices, a non-limiting aspect of which is awhistle 112. Thewhistle 112 is positioned such that the rotation of thetoy flying propeller 100 will produce a whistling sound as air moves into thewhistle 112. Thewhistle 112 on eachblade 106 is also symmetrically positioned to preserve the aerodynamics and maintain the balance of thetoy flying propeller 100 during flight. - The whistle of the present embodiment is further illustrated in
FIG. 2 . The whistle of the present embodiment is a tubular device with a spherical cap and a plurality of slits which permit air to flow into the whistle to produce a whistling sound. Thewhistle 202 is attached with theblade 204 such that afirst section 206 of the whistle protrudes from a first surface of theblade 208. Asecond blade 210 illustrates how asecond section 212 of the whistle protrudes from an opposing second surface of theblade 210. Thefirst section 206 is tubular and contains aspherical cap 214 with asmall slit 216 for air to pass through while theblade 204 is rotating. Air that passes into theslit 216 then passes out of thewhistle 202 through a plurality ofopenings 218 in thesecond section 212 of thewhistle 202. Theslit 216 is positioned such that the rotation of theblade 204 will force air directly into theslit 216, creating a loud, consistent whistling sound when thetoy flying propeller 200 is in motion. As in the aspect illustrated inFIG. 2 , thewhistle 202 can be inverted so that thesecond section 212 of the whistle protrudes from thefirst surface 208 of the blade while thefirst section 206 of the whistle protrudes from the second surface of theblade 210. - One skilled in the art will appreciate that the location of the whistles can be varied. For example, the whistle can be formed into the outer ring of the toy flying propeller with an opening on either side of the outer ring. Additionally, a whistle could even be attached with the hub. Furthermore, in yet another aspect, the sound-emitting device can be an electronic device to create any type of sound. The electronic sound-emitting device can be motion-activated so that it only produces the sound while the toy flying propeller is in the air. A motion sensor can be placed in the hub, as can a battery, speaker, and other necessary electronic components.
- As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , the particular angle of the blades is designed so that rotating the toy flying propeller will produce a significant downward force and lift the toy flying propeller into the air. The blades all have the same angled disposition so that rotating the toy flying propeller in only one direction will launch the toy flying propeller into the air, while rotating the toy in the opposite direction will reverse the force generated by the blades and propel the toy flying propeller towards the ground. Additionally, the number of blades can be varied depending on the particular blade shape and width desired. - The toy flying propeller of the present invention also includes a rotating device for rotating and launching the toy flying propeller into the air. In one aspect, the rotating device is a
launcher 300 adapted to the hub to rotate and launch the toy flying propeller, as illustrated inFIG. 3A . The launcher includes a rotatablefemale connector 302 attached with a base 304 that is connected with ahandle 306. As illustrated inFIG. 3B , thefemale connector 302 interlocks with a correspondingmale connector 308 on thehub 310, forming an interlocking connection. Thelauncher 300 further includes a ripcord 314 that, when pulled, is capable of rotating thefemale connector 302 andmale connector 308 in the interlocking connection which thereby rotates the toy flying propeller. Once the rotational velocity of the toy flying propeller reaches a certain point, the vertical force generated by the blades breaks themale connector 308 away from thefemale connector 302 and launches the toy flying vehicle into the air. One skilled in the art will appreciate that there are numerous mechanisms for rotating and launching an object such as the toy flying propeller.
