Abstract

Disclosed is a flying object comprising an elongate, inflatable element (1) that is connected to a flight-stabilizing weighting part (3) and an impact absorber (4) located in the forward zone. Said flying object is made to fly by generating pressure above atmospheric inside the inflatable element or by pulling an elastic.

missile

Flying games are known in many different versions. There are e.g. Balloons that are inflated and are equipped with a propeller - The air is released from the unlocked balloon and the balloon is blown up - Other known flying games, such as Game aircraft. these are shot down with a rubber band.

For safety reasons, care must always be taken here that no people or objects that can easily be damaged are hit.

The invention has set itself the task of developing a small, handy injury-proof flight game that is not only shot away, but can also be safely recaptured by the player himself or by the hit player.

So 2.B. the flight game from an elongated balloon that is inflated.

In the front area of the balloon is a foam, which acts as a weighting part

Flight stabilizer (3) is used until it is pushed over the balloon

Part of the inflated balloon protrudes in front and the

Impact reducer (4) forms.

The ring-shaped weight ring () is dimensioned so that it jams on the inflated balloon.

Now the finished flight game is taken in one hand and with at least one finger or it is pressed with another elongated object in the rear part of the balloon, so that an overpressure is created in the balloon.

When the balloon holding hand suddenly opens, it shoots

Balloon in the predetermined direction.

A teammate can e.g. catch the balloon and shoot back.

Another example is that an elongated balloon is only partially inflated and the uninflated part is needed as a rubber band to shoot away the flight game.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET In addition to a ring-shaped weighting part, it is also possible to use a cap-like weighting part (3). Here, the weighting part (3) is provided with an impact reducer (4), in which an air cushion is present between the soft and flexible front area of the weighting part (3) with the impact reducer (4) and the balloon body, and thus similar to an airbag, in the event of an impact Controlled escape of air, through air holes or slots provided, a gentle, harmless impact is guaranteed when the front of the cap is pressed in. In order to ensure the longest possible gaming pleasure per balloon, it is provided to provide the inflated balloon with a prefabricated protective cover or with a self-made protective cover made from a sheet with self-adhesive strips.

The protective film can have incisions in the rear area that produce noise during flight.

An interesting, creative possibility is that the flight game is designed as a kit for self-designing flying fantasy figures, animals or technical aircraft (claim 7) with appropriate additions.

It is also contemplated to make the inflatable body from sections of an endless thin rubber tube or film tube, the ends being knotted or welded.

Due to the harmlessness, the flight game is also a game-u. Joke items to use in an enclosed space.

Further information can be found in the claims or the simplified drawings.

Drawings in a simplified representation

Figure 1

shows a missile according to the invention, the elongated inflatable body (2) consists of an inflated rubber balloon tube and is knotted at its ends. The weighting part (3) here is made of foam rubber ring.

The safety impact reducer (4) is formed here by the front part of the elongated body. The missile is also provided with decorative material and with a flight stabilizer (14).

Figure 2

shows how the tension is built up by impressing the rear part of the missile (1) with the finger / hand (18), which brings the flying object into its trajectory after releasing the hand (17).

Figure 3

shows the missile (1) according to the invention as described in Fig. 1 + 2, but with a decorated weighting part (3) and an attached tail.

Figure 4

shows the missile according to the invention (1) in which the elongated body (2) and the impact reducer (4) consists of a not fully inflated long balloon, and the foremost uninflated part of the balloon is used as a rubber band (5) to shoot away the missile.

The weighting part (3) is made here from an annular foam rubber part.

Figure 5 + 6

Figure 7

shows the front part of a missile, made of a long balloon, the non-inflated, front part is used as an elastic band (5) and the front inflated part serves as a safety on rallminder (4). The weighting part (3) is designed as a foam ring,

Figure 8

shows the impact reducer (4) and the weighting part (3) made in one piece.

The weighting part (3) has a stop (12) on the inside for the elongated missile (2), so that an air-filled chamber (20) is formed between the soft impact front (10/4) and the body (2), from which, upon impact, through air holes or slots (16) controlled air can escape and thus a soft impact is possible.

Figure 9

shows Figure 8, but with the front soft front pressed in after the impact of the missile.

Figure 10

shows the missile (2) shortly after the impact, when the restoring forces of the material of the impact (4) have returned to their starting position.

Figure 11

shows the missile, provided with decorative material and one
