FLYING TOY.

Application filed December 7, 1925. Serial No. 73,630.

This invention relates to toys, and more particularly to a flying toy provided w1th propeller blades to cause said toy to rise to a considerable height in the air.

5 One object of the invention is to provide a toy of the above nature which will have a pair of auxiliary horizontal wings spaced Irom the propeller blades to cause said toy to travel laterally as well as vertically.

A further object is to provide a device of the above nature which will be simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to manipulate, compact, ornamental in appearance, and very eificient and durable 15 in use.

lVith these and other objects in view,

there has been illustrated on the accompanying drawing one form in which the invention may be conveniently embodied in prac- 20 tioe.

Fig. 1 represents a vertical view of the flying toy shown partly in section.

Fig. 2 is a view taken at right angles of the View shown in Fig. 1, and with the flying 2 member shown separated from the projecting member.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the flying member.

Referring now to the drawings in which like reference numerals denote corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral indicates a handle for the toy, said handle having a spindle 11 projecting upwardly therefrom. The upper part of the handle has a reduced shoulder portion 12 upon which a spinning spool 13 is adapted to rotate. The spool 13 is provided at its top with a pair of upwardly projecting

pins

14 and 15 and is adapted to be givena rapid spinning motion by a cord 16 wound about the reduced portion thereof.

The flying member consists of a flanged hub section 17 having a vertical central aperture 18 adapted to fit around the spindle 11 and having a pair of

sockets

19 and 20 in its bottom adapted to receive the pins lei and 15. The hub 17 'is provided at its top with a flange 21 upon'which .the horizontal portion of a propeller member 22 is adapted to be secured in any suitable manner. The

propeller member 22 has a pair of oppositely'inclined

outer blades

23 and 24 for causing the flying member to rise rapidly in the air when it is given a rapid rotary motion by the spinning spool.

In order to cause the toy to glide horizontally for a considerable distance instead rising or falling vertically in the air, the bottom 25 of the hub section 17 is provided with a pair of small

horizontal wings

26 and 27 adapted to be secured in position in any suitable manner, as by

rivets

28 and 29 respectively. An ornamental member such as a flag 30 is secured to the top of the flying member and adds to the attractiveness of the device.

In operation, the user will hold the handle 10 in one hand and pull rapidly on the cord 16 with the other. The rotary motion thus given to the spinning spool will be imparted to the flying member which will rise rapidly into the air and travel fora considerable distance.

While there has been disclosed in this specification one form in which the invention may be embodied, it is to be understood that this form is shown for the purpose of illustration only, and that the invention is not to be limited to the specific disclosure but may be modified and embodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit. In short, the invention includes all the modifications and embodiments coming within the scope of the following claim.

Having thus fully described the invention, what is claimed as new, and for which it is desired to secure Letters Patent. is:

In a flying toy, a handle member, a corddriven spool rotatively mounted on said handle member, a. flying'member having a hub detachably interlocked with said spool and adapted to receive rotative'motion therefrom, said flying member having an inclined lifting propelling blade at one end of said hub, said hub having on its other end a pair of horizontal flat gliding wing members secured thereto, whereby when the spool is rotated, the flying member will rise vertically and laterally through the air.

In testimony whereof, I have aflixed my 100 signature to this specification.
